His Rebound

Chapter 26

Chapter 26

I couldn't sleep that night. I was so still exhilarated about whatever Sebastian did for me tonight. I couldn't help but admire Sebastian's benevolentness. Although, he had married me for his business and this marriage is going to end one day yet he unduly cares for me. He makes sure I am happy and never disregards me.

He recks in a way no one has ever done.

I don't know when I fell asleep but when I woke up I was excited to see and thank Sebastian for his surprise. He kept me up till midnight just to make me feel those midnight birthday vibes which I had never experienced before in my life. I quickly left my bed and rushed to the washroom and after doing my morning routine, I was ready. The balloons in my room were coming in my way while I was walking but I loved the way they were flying everywhere. It had awakened a little girl in me who loved balloons but never got much to play with.

I quickly wore a black t-shirt with blue denim and scurried my way downstairs but as soon as I opened the door of my room, I saw a bouquet of pink roses at my door. Frowning, I bent down to pick it up and there was a small note.

Happy 21st birthday. I know I missed the day but that won't stop me from celebrating and making this one special for you.

Your surprise awaits.

An automatic smile crept onto my lips on reading that note. I looked at the beautiful flowers and along with my smile, my blush grew. I went downstairs with the flowers and kept them in a transparent glass vase on our dining table. It's 7 am and I was waiting for Andrew to arrive. I even have to thank him for baking that amazing cake for me as well.

"Why are you up so early?" A sudden husky voice in a lonely penthouse made me shudder and as I kept my hand on my chest, he chuckled.

"Did I scared you, again?"

"Yes." I breathed and he walked closer to me.

"You are so cute." He pinched my cheeks and when I frowned he kissed my forehead.

"You gave me a heart attack" He hugged me and face cheek rested on his chest rumbled which with his laughter.

"I am sorry. Next time, I'll make sure I am loud enough."

"Yes, or I'll put a bell on you." This time we both laughed and then he left me.

"By the way, you didn't tell me why are you up?"

"I always get up at 5." I told him and his brows knitted.

"Every day?"

"Yes... every day."

"And I thought I woke up early to surprise you." I smiled.

"But thank God I got up at 4.30 and I can see very well that you got the flowers too." His words warmed my heart. He woke up specially to give me flowers.

"I did...thank you. They are beautiful."I admired the flowers looking at their beauty.

"And I hope I can turn this belated celebration of your birthday beautiful too."

"Celebration? That's not required. You already did so much."

"Will you relax. I am not throwing a party for you to dread the entire day. It's your birthday...well belated...but I still want to do only the things which you are comfortable with and that doesn't include the party."

I bit my tongue in embarrassment and just then Andrew came and greeted Sebastian and later when he spotted me. He smiled and greeted me as well.

"Good morning Sir..Ma'am"
