Happy Birthday Claire

Owen's POV

It's 12:00 am and Claire has already fallen asleep. That's great! I had planned a wonderful day for her. She deserves to have a nice birthday party. I slid from the bed and slipped on my slippers and walked to the kitchen.
Hmm... What kind of cake should I bake for her? I have no idea. I went to the living room and grabbed her cellphone and dialed Karen, her sister.

It's ringing...

"Hello, Claire Bear?" Karen's voice was still groggy.

"Hey, It's me. Owen." I whispered, avoiding any sudden noise to prevent her from waking up.

"Owen, is there a problem? It's 12:00 am!!" she complained.

"I want to ask you something. For Claire."

I heard her gasp. "It's CLAIRE-BEAR'S BIRTHDAY?!" she squealed on the line.
I 'shh' her...

"What do you need?" she asked.

"What's Claire's favorite cake?"

"Oh... I don't know. I'm sorry. She's been very secretive and mysterious and uptight since we were young. But she likes something that's been made from the heart." she explained.

"Oh... I see. How 'bout you come by later at the park and bring other guests" I demanded.

She agreed and hung up.

Okay, That's no help. Maybe, I should give her what I have in mind.
I went back to the kitchen and prepared the ingredients.

After hours of cooking and baking, I succeeded.

A Vanilla Cake with Strawberry frosting. Just like her. The vanilla flavor reminds me of her scented white skin and the Strawberries rwminded me of her hair. I took a last glance at it, then heard a loud thud from the bedroom. I quickly ran to look what happened. She was sitting on the floor, both her hands were in her head. I walk to her.

"Are you okay?" I placed my hands in her shoulder.

She giggled. Wait, what?! Why is she giggling?

"Smells Good, what's cookin'?"

I sighed in relief, she's okay.
"Oh, Gosh Claire, you made me worried."

She looked at me, her eyes full of joy. I quickly kissed her lips and ran back to the kitchen.

I grabbed the cake and went to her.
"Happy Birthday to you..." I sang.

"It's my birthday?" she asked confused.

I nodded at her and she smiled at me. When was the last time she had celebrated her birthday?

"It's been soo long." she wiped her tears in her eyes, as if she had read my mind.

"Now, that I'm here. You'll be celebrating your birthday yearly. Like a normal person." I smiled. She giggled.

"Thank you soo much!" she hugged me and I hugged her back...

"Come on, Go change already. I have a surprise for you..."

She gasped and went jumpy from groggy. Now, That's my woman!
She ran to the bathroom with a towel inbher hand, she glanced back at me. In a seductive way.

"Care to join me, Mr. Grady?"

I felt a tingle on my groin, I'm blushing... I raised my eyebrow at her, giving her a chance to take it back.

"Well?" she said tapping her foot.

Oh, she's damn serious...

"It'll be my pleasure to accompany you, Mrs. Grady." I winked at her, then she grabbed me and pulled me inside the bathroom. We both giggled.

"Taking a bath together is the BEST idea I've ever had." I said, taking my clothes off.

"MY idea, Grady." she corrected me.

"Yours." I sighed in defeat.
