John Shelby ~ Birthday Suprise

Today was your birthday and as you sat in your office looking at the picture on your desk of John and yourself beaming brightly at each other, you couldn't help but smile excitedly.

John had told you that he was meeting you at your apartment in London and then he was going to take you out for dinner. The thing was, you met John at a night club on the streets of London when he was on a business trip, you instantly took a liking to each other and continued to see one another. That was three years ago and after meeting his children - from his previous marriage, and his family, you couldn't help but wonder whether you would take his last name.

"I want these typed up and on my desk by midday, Y/N." Your boss announced, plunking two sheets of handwritten paper in front of you. You internally screamed but nodded politely. "Sure." Would it kill him to say please? You thought as you began to type out the handwritten notes, your thought often trailing back to John.

********
As you came out of your boss' office after handing in the completed paperwork, your eyes landed on John waiting at your desk patiently, watching the office rush. Your heart instantly lifted and butterflies erupted in your stomach as you strode towards your desk to John.

"Happy Birthday, love!" John exclaimed as you approached him, pulling you into a hug before kissing your lips passionately. "— John! I'm in work!" You breathed through gritted teeth, desperately trying to bite back the smile you wanted to wear. "Wait, what are you doing here?" You asked, realising that you weren't supposed to meet until later but utterly happy to see him. "I've spoken to your boss and he's going to give you the next week off. I've booked a house tucked away in the countryside - no kids, no work... just you and me. What do you say?" John announced as he studied your beaming face. "Yes, that's sounds amazing! You're the best boyfriend in the world!" You proclaimed before following John out of the building and into his car, heading towards the country.

*******
The house John took you to was beautifully decorated. It was everything you wanted in a home, it had a log burner in every room, a stable round the back and a huge room for a party or a gathering. Your stuff was already placed inside your's and John's shared room and the fire was roaring.

"John, you didn't have to. This is amazing and way too much just for my birthday." You explained, turning to John who had followed you in, watching your face light up as you inspected the house before walking over to you.

"Y/N. I am so in love with you, you make my kids smile and my family adore you.. God they love you more than they love me, especially the children. You deserve more than this, you deserve the whole world and more. I love you." John said softly, walking towards you. As John said the last words he pulled out a black box and bent down on one knee, clasping your hand in his as he peered up at you. "Y/N, will you marry me? Become a Shelby?" Your heart skipped a beat and your eyes welled up until your vision went blurry. "Yes! Yes, John Shelby! I will marry you!" You whelped, widening your eyes as he placed the ring on your finger, leaning up and kissing you deeply. "This is the best birthday surprise in the world, ya know that?" You pulled back and pondered John, your hands resting on his chest as you leant back into his strong arms. "That's not all, my love. This, is ours." John stated looking around the room as he spoke.

Not only had John Shelby asked you to become his wife, he had bought you the country house of your dreams with every intentions to start and raise a family under its roof.

"John.. oh God I love you so so so much!" You replied, your eyes watering once more as you beamed up at his beautiful face. "Just you wait until your birthday, Mr!" You smiled before locking your lips together in a deep desirable kiss, soon turning into a hungry desperate kiss as you made your way towards the long silken sheets across your bed.

"I think I have some thanking to do." You stated completely breathless from the previous events that you and John had just endured. Flipping him over, slowly making your way in between his legs while you remained eye contact - adding to the intimacy.
