Katana's Revenge

A Few Little Surprises

Song: How long will I love you By Ellie Goulding

I never imagined falling in love with him. I never thought anyone could make me feel the way he makes me feel. Sleeping under the stars became an all the time thing and before I even realized it, I gradually started moving my stuff into his place.

It started out with a toothbrush and other necessities that I needed like makeup, feminine products, and of course change of clothes. It's crazy how time flies and that one night turned into a week, then a month...two...and then eight months later here I am bringing groceries to his place. I still have my apartment; afraid to let it go. You just never know when I need to go home. You never know when this love is going to go south and he will he will be tired of me.

The sun is just now rising, showing itself through the windows. We are lying in bed, cuddled up next to each other when my phone starts going off. Vincent groans, "It's too early for that."

I don't say anything as I reach over him to get to my phone. I already know it's my dad because it's my birthday. "Good morning daddy," I yawn as I stretch out beside Vincent.

"Good morning sweetheart...Happy Birthday."

"Thank you."

"So what is my girl up to today?"

"Not sure yet," I yawn again and look over to the man lying next to me. "I might just stay in bed all day." I smile at Vincent who is now wrapping his arms around me, liking the idea of staying in bed all day.

"Well I hope you have a great day, sweetheart. I got to be getting on the road. Love you."

"I love you too daddy."

When I click the phone off, Vincent gleams. "Staying in bed all day...huh."

"Why not, it's my birthday I can do whatever I want."

His arms tighten around my waist pulling me closer to him. "Your birthday and you were not going to tell me." He starts tickling the shit out of me, so much that I have to beg him to stop before I pee on myself. His lips meet mine and they are so soft and passionate against mine. Then he trails his lips down my neck.

"I thought you knew everything about me, so you should know when my birthday is," I giggle when his lips come back up to nibble on my ear.

"I know it's your birthday. I just thought you would have told me."

"Sure...like you even remembered." I try to push him off of me because kissing my ears causes me to tense up with a fit of giggles.

"I would never forget this special day, il mio amore." He reaches to the side table and opens the drawer to reveal a small box. He holds it out to me.

"What is this?" I say all surprised.

"Just a little something, il mio amore. You get will get the rest later."

I sit up in the bed, holding the small box and looking back at him. He really did remember. I didn't even say anything about it and he knows. I open the box slowly because I am actually kind of scared to see what is inside. I mean if it's a ring, I'm just not so sure about that but anything other than that might be alright. When I see a pair of diamond stud earrings, I gleam. They are freaking gorgeous. "They...they are beautiful, thank you." I lean down to kiss him.

He gleams back up at me. "Guess it was a good choice then. You have no idea how long it took me to look for something I thought you would like."

"Awe...so sweet of you. Really I love them." I take them out of the box and put them in my ears. "How do they look?"
