Euphoric Visions: Volume 1

Episode 2: Sex on the beach

The sun shined brightly through the 9 foot windows as I laid across the bed. The covers were scattered all over the place and by the look of the sun, I could tell it was time to get up. Last night was hard. My boyfriend Algee had to catch a red eye flight to New York City last night. He had a meeting with record executives for a music project that he was working on for 6 months straight now. What makes matters worse is that today is my birthday. I had plans to spend my birthday with my baby. A nice candle lit dinner at my favorite restaurant and to wrap it up with some quality time.

Damn it.

This opportunity was important for him though and I didn't want him to miss out on it. Rolling over on his side of the bed, I forced myself out of bed.

"Come on Ki'Andrea, get your ass up."

After pep talking myself, I dragged myself into the bathroom to do my morning routine. You know the usual. Using the bathroom, washing my face, brushing my teeth and hopping my ass in the shower. I threw my hair into a messy bun and stripped out of my pajamas. Standing in front of the mirror, I realize that the older I got, the better I looked. 

"You still got it." I praised myself before grabbing my toothbrush.

A few hours passed and my office was filled with balloons, teddy bears, and flowers. My co-workers were sweet at preparing my office with cupcakes and Edible Arrangements. Happy Birthday cards were scattered everywhere. I felt loved and that alone made me happy. As I completed the rest of my paperwork, I heard a knock on the door.

 "Ki'Andrea?" A voice said lightly. 

Glancing up, I noticed it was my secretary Melissa. 

"Oh hi Melissa, what's up?" 

She walked in with a bouquet of white and red roses and they were huge. 

"What in the world?" I marveled. 

I had enough flowers as is, but there was something special about these roses. 

"Happy birthday girl." Melissa said with a smile. 

"Oh my goodness, Melissa. You shouldn't have done this." I replied, grabbing the roses from her. 

"Oh, Ki'Andrea. These aren't from me. My gift was the teddy bear with the Victoria's Secret gift card." Melissa reassured. 

That's right. Melissa had already gave me my birthday gift. 

"Well, who are these from then?" I questioned, sitting the flowers on my desk. 

"Looks like there's a note right there." Melissa said pointing at the middle of the bouquet. 

Pulling out the envelope, I opened to find a small note.

Happy Birthday beautiful!

Sorry I couldn't be there with you to celebrate your special day.

To show you my love and appreciation, I've informed your boss to allow you to take the rest of the day off from work.

Head home and you'll find your next surprise waiting for you.

With love, Algee.

Algee, really? That man knows how to keep me on my toes. This is why I love him.

"It was from Algee." I said, smelling my flowers.
