PERFECT BIRTHDAY ENVISIONED

Birthday Eve

Adorn- miguel (Smooth Jazz_tribute) playing on the background.

I walk out of my appartment, dressed in a white cotton jumpsuit which hugged my figure well along with black heels on and a purse, making a double check on my locked door as always before taking the few flight of stairs to the main door.

I stood to admire him from the back, he was all dressed up too in a white button shirt all tucked in with my favourite flowers in one hand. He heard me chuckle because he turned around with that killer smile of his that melted my insides. "Milady!" He spoke slightly making the word more formal than usual handing me the bunch of fresh red roses.

"You look beautiful tonight." He said pecking my cheek. I smiled breathing in his musk. His cologne was always a major turn on for me. Oh dear!

"You look dashing yourself. If it were upto me, i'd rather you strip for me back inside than go wherever you're planning to take me." I whispered in his ear and nibbled on his ear slightly.

"If you must know, i'm battling with myself rightnow on whether to take on that offer or not. But hey, the night is still young maybe..." i cut him off with my forefinger on his lips.

"Shhhhh...lets go." He smiled again and i swear i felt a tingling in places i shouldnt at this moment.

He led me to his car and opened the passenger door for me and made sure i was safely seated with my seat belt well buckled. I think he did that intentionally for me to get more turned on by his scent.

Inside the car he took my hand in his and rested both our hands on his thigh. His thumb brushing my palm softly. We talked and joked most of the way and laughed alot. Our conversations flowed so easily i guess that's what i noticed the first time meeting him.

He halted to a stop infront of this fancy restaurant near the beach. He leaned in for a brief kiss before moving on to helping me out of the car. I entwined our hands while we made our way to the entrance. We were invited warmly and shown to our seats. Our seats were at the furthest from all the others. The place was quiet except for some soft jazz music playing through the speakers.   The table was set beautifully just for two. There were some candles in tiny chimneys i guess to prevent them from getting blown off by the wind from the beach.  We were a few feet or so from the beach, the sound of the ocean waves with the jazz music combined was absolutely magical. I closed my eyes and took a deep breathe. This was beautiful.

The waiter came with a bucket of ice which was accompanied with champagne. He filled our flutes and took our  meal orders after which he left us to ourselves.

"This place is beautiful. How come i've never noticed it before?" I asked him

He chuckled then took both my hands in his on the table where i was seated across him. "Well, if you did then this day wouldnt have been this special now would it?" His voice itself alone was angelic and the smile was making him look too perfect to be true. Oh God. I could never stop drooling over this guy. EVER

"Yeah you're probably right." I said.

"Are you feeling cold?" He asked

"No i'm okay. You know i love it when its cold outside." I winked at him seductively.

We spoke about work, art and all kinds of things that interested us both and laughed alot the part which i enjoyed most. I like a guy with a sense of humour and he had that alright. He also laughed to the silliest jokes i made that anyone would find lame.

Soon after the dessert plates were carried away, he suggested a walk along the beach. It sounded amazing.

I took my heels off, he took my hand and locked it in his elbow such that we walked side by side. The wind blew directly on my face which was total bliss.

"It's a few minutes to your birthday you know." He commented.

I smiled. "Need i remind you that not only was i born on a monday like today but also at exactly 12:00 oclock?"

"Wow. Interesting. You must have really been one hell of a sturbbon baby. You had your mom agonizing with pain like all night? So mean of you." He teased.

I playfully slapped his arm laughing out loud. "Why would you say that!"

We walked for a while. Before he suggested we stop. He looked into my eyes and went in for a kiss. Which lasted longer than i expected. It was more slower, more passionate with emotions. After breaking the kiss, he went to one knee and took out this tiny box from inside his pockets and my heart was pounding threatening to come out.

"What...." before i could finish my sentence he beat me to it, called me by my name and said,

"Will you be my wife? The mother to our children? My lifetime companion?"

Those words came out of his mouth as if were rehearsed.

"I...I...I...Yes! Yes!" I screamed out loud with tears rolling down my cheek. Holding my hand out for him to slip the ring in my finger. It was beautiful and fit perfectly. Like it was specificly curved just for me.

I immediately jumped him. And kissed him with my legs wrapped around his waist, my hands cupping his face. "Are you sure?" He asked again i guess not believing whether i was joking or not.

"Ofcoz. I love you." I proclaimed my love for him in return for the first time after months of him saying it over and over.

"I love you more. Happy Birthday Baby Girl." He whispered.

"Thank you." I sniffed back some tears.

He put me down and we made a run back to the restaurant where he paid the bill and lead me to the car.

I coudnt stop admiring the ring on my finger. It was an absolute beautiful stone.

The drive back to my place was faster than the one to the restaurant. We both couldnt wait to get home to properly celebrate my Birthday.
