Love hurts?

Happy birthday

Michael's POV

It's Ocean's birthday today and just like last year she's been really quiet since she woke up. I'm finishing off breakfast and Oceans walks in. "You really don't like birthdays do you?" I chuckle sightly setting down her breakfast "Every year lose somebody" she sighs "Robert last year...and now my parents"

"I'm here and so is DJ" I remind her "for now" she shrugs looking away. I walk closer to her taking her hand "you see this ring right here? I gave you this the day I swore to God that I'd always be here and that I'd always love you until the day I die and I made that same promise to you last year when I gave you that promise necklace...this exact day in fact" she smiles biting her lower lip "you know what else today is?"

"Mhm...it was today we found out we were having DJ" I smile. "It's crazy" she shakes her head "What it?"

"This whole year. It's like one moment I was stepping out of a moving van and the next....here we are!" She laughs slightly "I'll always remember that day. I um... I purposely threw that ball over at you so I had an excuse to come over and talk to you" I confess "you did that on purpose?" She giggles and I nod. "I have an idea!" I smile "I know we're not supposed to because of our religion on stuff but...I really want us to celebrate your birthday this year"

"You wanna break the rules!?" She gasps playfully "girl! When have we ever played by the rules?" I giggle pulling her into me.

Ocean's POV

Michael and I are out for lunch with DJ, Even though I'm sad I won't see my parents on my birthday I've had a pretty great day with Michael and DJ. My thoughts are disturbed when Michael phone vibrates and he gets up from the table "I'll be right back" I frown confused as he heads off to the restroom. He thinks I haven't noticed but ever since we left the house he's been constantly texting someone and every now and then sneaks off to make a call. "What's going on?" I ask suspiciously when he comes back to the table "nothing" he shrugs innocently "are you cheating on me!?" I snap "What!? No!" 

"So who've you been texting and calling all day?" He sighs rolling his eyes. "If you must know it was Marlon, he and his girlfriend just broke up and he's a little down right now"

"So why didn't you say that?" I frown confused "because I want today to be a drama free day for you...and by the way. I swear on DJs life I'd never cheat on you" he rests his hand on the back of mine and smiles through pursed lips. "I'm sorry I said that, I'd never cheat on you either"

"I know you wouldn't" he shrugs arrogantly then turns to DJ "I think your mommy has crush on me" he winks playfully making me giggle.

We walk up to the front door and Michael stops suddenly "what's wrong?"

"Nothing" he shrugs innocently still standing by the door "oh...Kay" I frown confused opening the front door

"SURPRISE!!!!!!!! "

"W-what the.." I stand stuttering "happy birthday, baby!" Michael smiles pecking my lips

I'm standing in the kitchen talking with Sarah and I'm still in shock Michael did all this for me. "So...Mrs Jackson? How's married life" Sarah asks bringing me from my thoughts "it's amazing!" I smile and sigh contently "Michael did a great job organising this party! I hope Tony's taking some notes down" she smiles pursing her lips "Tony?" I look at her shocked "are you two?"

"Mhm" she nods "ahhhh" I squeak excitedly pulling her in for a hug. "Can I borrow my wife for a moment?"  Michael smiles taking my hand and Sarah nods smiling and leaves the room.
