Dangerously In Love

Birthday Girl

Robert "Bob" McNamara is going to the back of Jack's private plane to inform him that they are landing at LaGuardia soon.

He knocks on the door and Jack tells him to come in. Looking up from his phone and opening the door. Robert stops in his tracks when he sees the sight in front of him.

Jack is reading some papers while a brunette is hard a work performing oral on him.

"I'm sorry Jack, I'll come back," Robert says turning to walk out the room.

"It's fine Bob, I'm not busy," Jack says as if what was being done to him wasn't anything to be shy of.

"It's ok, I was just letting you know we are about to land," Robert says over his shoulders as he quickly walks out the room.

Jack shrugs his shoulders and continues without a hitch.

After the plane lands, Jack emerges from his private quarters tucking his shirt into his pants. He feels relieved.

Right now all he wants is a glass of scotch and a cigar. The past few days have been really busy. Between taking out a spy from one of his rival's groups to closing a multi-million dollar deal with a large organization, Jack wants to just relax.

He takes out his phone to check his messages and sees a notification for Jackie's birthday, which is tomorrow.

He groans, he completely forgot about Jackie.

"Damn," Jack says running his hand through his hair.

"What's wrong Jack?" asks Robert.

"Tomorrow is Jackie's birthday and I forgot about it," Jack replies.

"Well it's not too late Jack, you still have time to put something together," Bob says zipping up his carry-on.

"I've been so busy with all that's going on, I didn't plan anything nor get her anything," Jack says sitting down in a chair.

"Just buy her something nice and take her out to dinner?"

"I can do that on a regular day, actually I do that often enough. I bought her a diamond necklace from Tiffany's last month and she made me take it back, saying that she didn't want me buying her expensive things."

"Well, what about the shopping sprees that you take her on?" Bob asks sitting on the arm of the chair across from Jack.

"If you call two bras, five pairs of panties from Victoria's Secret, a top from Neimans or Lord & Taylor's a shopping spree then I guess I've never been on one then," Jack says picking up a cigar.

Bob looks at his boss and shakes his head.

Jack gets home and sits down thinking about what he can do for Jackie's birthday. He knows deep down she deserves something special. Especially how she went all out for his birthday.

She brought him cufflinks with his initials, she took him out to dinner and she wrote him a poem. Even though he won't admit it, he was touched by the poem and the fact that she wanted to make his birthday special.

He didn't know what to do and felt bad that he hadn't planned anything. The only option that he has for the last minute is to just take her out to dinner and buy her something nice.

The next morning Jack and Jackie are making their way to the shopping district.

Jack pulls up in front of Tiffany's and Jackie looks at him.

"Why are we here?" Jackie asks.

"Because we're here to get one of your birthday gifts," Jack replies while taking off his seat belt.
