1 week later

Today is my man's birthday and I spent all of yesterday with the girls looking for gifts. I even made the cute little basket that Eliza suggested a month ago.

I woke up earlier, got ready for the day, and I just made breakfast. Now, I'm finishing up his coffee. Unfortunately, I didn't wake up earlier than him but he'll be back from the gym within the next 30 minutes.

Everything looks amazing and now I just need to get the gifts from my car. I couldn't hide them anywhere because he knows this house too well.

As I grab my keys, I hear the front door slam shut, "Baby, I'm home!"

"Happy Birthday!"

A huge grin appears on his face when his eyes land on me. He walks over to me and lifts me, causing me to wrap my legs around his torso. I also get a whiff of his body wash so, I'm guessing he showered at the gym.

"Good morning. I'm sorry I didn't wake up earlier."

"It's fine, you didn't know I was going to the gym."

"How was your workout?"

"Great."

"That's good. Are you hungry?"

"Starving actually. Want to make breakfast with me?"

I giggle, "Baby can't you smell the aroma from my cooking?"

He sniffs the air, "I don't know why I'm just noticing that. Smells delicious by the way."

He carries us to the kitchen and places me on the countertop.

"All of this is for me?"

"Yup."

"Lips," he says.

I lean in and give him a short and sweet kiss.

"Baby I like when you kiss me like that," he smirks, running his hand up my thighs.

"That was a birthday-only kiss," I respond.

"Can I have another one?"

I kiss him again and he bites his lips which makes him look even sexier.

I squeeze my legs together and ask, "What did you want to do today?"

"I didn't have any plans."

"Well, what do you normally do?"

"Work and sometimes buy myself a cupcake."

I pout, "That's sad."

"I know but now I get to spend this birthday and many more with you."

"Yes you will, I smile. "I love you."

"I love you too."

"Come on, you can pray and eat now."

"Mhm."

He puts me on the floor and grabs my butt. "Damn baby that booty is getting fatter."

"No, it's not Seb," I giggle. I've only been working out for a week now and so far he's been teaching me how to lift.

"Baby, trust me, I would know. It's those meals I've been feeding you and my training."

I blush, "Whatever."

I place the plate in front of him and ask, "Is that enough bacon?"

"More than enough, baby."

"Ok, enjoy," I kiss his cheek and put on my flip-flops.

"Where are you going?"

"I need to go to Lucian's quickly."

"I'll take you," he begins to stand.

"Baby, I can drive on my own. Plus, you're eating."

He sighs, "You promise to call if anything happens?"

"Yup, I promise."

"Alright, hurry up but also drive safely."

"Ok, baby brb."

When I walk outside, I noticed a black tinted car unusually sitting across the street. Hopefully, it'll be gone when I get back because that's weird.

▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣▣

I knock on the front door and wait until someone answers and it's Liza. "Hey sis," she hugs me. I've never been here and it's a surprisingly gorgeous home.

"Hi, hun. Do you have everything? Yeah, I picked up the cake yesterday and had it in the fridge and I think Lucian has the gift." She turns around and shouts, "Babe!"

"Yes, babygirl?"

"Where's Emilian's gift?"

"Elara's here?"

"Yes, she is."

I watch as he rushes towards the door. "Lara, can you make us dinner tomorrow?"

"Why?"

"Date night before I leave," he responds.

"Mhm, sure. Just send me what you want and a tip."

"Yes! Thank you," he gets excited.

"Please give me what I came for," I remind him.

"Oh yeah, be right back," Eliza says.

Lucian digs into his pocket for the box and says, "Emilian is going to flip when he finds out you bought him that."

"I know but he's going to eventually accept it."

"Lara do you want to see it before you leave?"

"No, I'll look at it in the car." She passes me the cake box and I place the gift in my purse.

When I get home, I open the cake box to see its beauty. I honestly wish I could bake but every time I try, something goes wrong.

Taking a picture for Instagram, I use the caption 'It's my baby's birthday! 🥰' then click post. I would post a picture of him but, no face, no case.

As I step out of the car, opening the back trunk, I notice the black car is still sitting there. I'm definitely telling Seb because that can't be good right? It only took three trips to get everything and I lock the door behind me.

"Seb!" I shout for him.

"I'm upstairs, love," he responds.

"Okay."

Taking advantage of that, I place everything behind the couch so that he doesn't see it, then I put the cake in the fridge for later.

"Baby, how was the drive?"

"Great but I noticed there's a black, tinted car that's been sitting across the street for a while now."

"Good observation baby but it's being taken care of. Don't worry."

"Ok good come here," I pull him to the couch excitedly.

He sits down and I stand in front of him, holding both of his hands.

"Ok so, I know you said you didn't want me to spend money on you but honestly that's impossible for me. I love you too much and I couldn't resist spoiling you with gifts."

He smiles, "Fine baby, but if anything is over 10k we're fighting."

"Yay!"

"I'm going to start with the simpler and cheaper things. Ok?"

"Mhm."

"The first thing is a 365-day jar and it basically has different reasons why I love you and little memories that I thought were cute or special. You can read one every day or even when you're feeling down. I was thinking you could place it in you're office since you go there every day."

He looks at the jar then at me grinning, "Baby, thank you. It's the most thoughtful thing anyone has ever gotten me. I don't even want to open it, to be honest, maybe I should save it."

I giggle, "Save it for what?"

"Our wedding."

"Maybe." That's not a bad idea.

"Can I have a kiss," he wraps his arms around me, placing his hand on my butt.

"When you're done opening everything."

"Will you sit with me then?"

"Sure, but let me get another gift."

He opens the box and smiles. "Love, is this a sign that I need to do better with my hygiene?"

I giggle, "I just got it because it was red. This is nothing, I just thought it was a cute idea. Plus, you always smell amazing."

"Good to know," he smirks.

"Ok, I'm going to give you one of the expensive ones now. Don't say anything," I glare at him playfully.

I pull out the black velvet box and cover the name. I don't want him to know that I spent 24k on two pieces of jewelry. Even I can't even believe it.

"Open it," I tell him. "Aren't they gorgeous?"

"You didn't have to buy this baby," he says admiring it.

"I wanted to and besides it wasn't that much money." Yeah right.

He looks at me like I just said the dumbest thing in the world. "Baby this cost 20k plus. I know my jewelry."

"Ok, I didn't know it would cost that much but I thought it was worth it because I knew you would look sexy with it on."

He pulls me on his lap and leans in, speaking against my lips, "Thank you, baby," and he captures my lips, kissing me slowly and sensually. He bites my bottom lips to allow his tongue to slip into my mouth. This man knows what he's doing because, at this point, I'm going to need an underwear change.

His hands slowly move from my waist don't to my butt, slapping it which causes me to let out a soft moan. Then he does the unexpected, slipping his hands into my tights and squeezing my left cheek.

This causes me to squeal from the sudden touch and the fact that his hands are cold. He pulls away from mine but leans his forehead on mine.

"I have to go upstairs for a second," he then places me gently on the couch and he stands up adjusting his joggers.

"But your gifts, Seb," I pout.

"I'll try to be quick baby, I promise." he pecks my lips and rushes up the stairs. Strange.

Did I do something wrong?

To pass the time, I decide to reply to Instagram comments and I realize that Sara commented.

'You guys are the cutest🤩'

Hold up. Isn't this the same person who said I don't deserve Emilian? Someone's confused. I would reply but I don't have the energy to argue with her. Getting up, I bring the last few gifts from behind the couch.

"Alright I'm back," he says and sits on the opposite side of the couch.

"Why are you sitting so far Seb?"

"I have to keep my distance."

"Why? Do I smell bad? Did I do something wrong?"

He sighs, "Hell no baby. It's the complete opposite."

I look at him confused.

"You do everything right and you're too damn perfect for me. I want you to know that I took three cold showers already for the day and it's because I get turned on by every little thing you do now."

I blush, "I'm sorry baby."

He groans, "Please don't call me that right now."

"Well, what do you want me to call you?" I giggle.

"I don't know. I just can't be left alone with you. You're a walking temptation," he runs his hands over his face.

"Do you want me to invite Lucian and Eliza over?"

"That would be good."

"Okay."'

══════════════════

Me: Do you guys want to come over?

Liza🖇: Duhhhh!🙄 When?

Me: Right now if you want.

Liza🖇: Ok, we'll be there

══════════════════

"Here are your last few gifts, I'm going upstairs to change." I hand him a bouquet.

Then a give him matching pairs of sweats for both of us, a new Armani suit and I strategically placed a Patek between the clothing. I knew the Patek was going to be expensive but luckily I got one of the cheaper ones which cost 250k.

When I bought that, I clearly was not thinking straight. I was just thinking about how much he would appreciate it and how it would look on him. Luckily being the COO of Moldovan Industries, I can make that back in about six months.
