I had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Today is my birthday, and a few months ago, my boyfriend told me he was planning something that would surprise me.
I slowly opened my eyes, expecting to see D.O next to me. But instead, I saw red rose petals. Everywhere. On the bed, on the furniture. Some of them formed a kind of path leading from my bedroom out into the hallway. Following this path, I ended up in the kitchen. What I found there exceeded my expectations. A beautifully set table and huge bouquets of flowers.
- Happy birthday, _____. - I heard from behind me.
I turned around and saw my boyfriend holding a huge cake. I wanted to hug him, but I couldn’t just yet.
- Make a wish. - he said with a wide smile.
I closed my eyes for a moment and blew out the candles. D.O set the cake down and started singing “Happy Birthday.” Now I could finally hug him.
- I have to admit, you were right.
- When? - he asked, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear.
- When you said you’d surprise me. You really did.
- But… in a good way, right?
- Absolutely! - I said and kissed him.
- And that’s not all. - he said, pulling a small box from behind his back.
- What is it?
- You’ll see. Happy birthday again!
- Thank you.
I was dying to know what was inside.
I opened the box. Inside was a necklace with our names on it. It was beautiful. I threw my arms around him.
- So you like it. - he laughed.
- These are the best birthday gifts I’ve ever had.
- I love you.
- I love you too.
