Chapter 7 - My birthday

I sent out the invites and got back that a lot of my friends will be coming and I was excited. The day before my birthday I decorated the house with balloons and I loved it and even my parents liked it. I didn't see Nicolas for a few days and it was fine by me because I was busy thinking about the party and we were texting with him all those days. Later that day around 5 pm he drove to my house. I let him in and he gave me the biggest hug like he hasn't seen me in over a year and of course, he kissed me on the cheek. We sat at the kitchen table to talk and he asked:

"What time were you born?"

"I think 1:41 am on October 6th,"

"So you were night newborn,"

"Yes, I was,"

"I know that you were born on August 31st, but what time?"

"I don't know but I think I was born at 6 am,"

"So you were morning newborn,"

"Oh yes, yes I was, my mom said I wasn't crying I was screaming,"

We bought laugh at it. 7 pm came around and he left to go home. I took a long bath, shaved, exfoliated, did a face mask, and took really good care of myself that evening. I went to sleep around 10 pm because I wanted to get some sleep and not be angry the next morning. What I didn't realize that he talked to my parents about my birthday. At 1:41 am I heard balloons popping, clamping and my parents and Nicolas came into my room and started singing the song of birthday. I was truly surprised that they did something. After they sang the song my mom sat on the edge of my bed and said:

"Happy Birthday sweety."

"It was Nicolas idea" She whispered.

I was surprised that he thought about congratulating me the same time I was born. I felt like he cared about me and it was nice. Even my dad said happy birthday to me witch he never does and that left me surprised I got a black cake, the cake design was of a poker table I mean it was funny to look at it but the idea of it was how well done was it was even better. My parents left the room and Nicolas personally congratulated me and kissed me. He went to the kitchen to put the cake in the fridge and the meantime, I have fallen asleep. I woke up in the morning and he was nowhere to be found. I came to the kitchen to see him cooking. It smelled delicious, and I came from the back to hug him, but he was quicker. He turned and hugged me. I sat down and asked: "What time did you wake up?"

"Well right now is 8 am so probably around 7 am, didn't you felt when I left the bed?"

"No, I didn't, I think I am a heavy sleeper,"

"That explains a lot," He chuckled.

"WAIT, IT IS 8 am?"

"Yes, why are you so scared?''

" I don't know I don't have time to get ready, they are coming at noon. Do you have your clothes?"

"Yes, I have them in my car,"

"Okay, could help me set up the last things I got?"

We set up what was left, brought food and drinks, and we only had to wait for the guest to show up. All of my friends have shown up on time except Olivia the only person who steals everybody's man, she was late. They brought a lot of gifts and I wasn't expecting any gifts, but I was grateful and expected them. I introduced my FIANCE, not a boyfriend but fiance to everybody and they were all happy except Olivia, she looked jealous. Everybody looked good and matched the party theme and as you guessed the same girl Olivia had to be different, she came dressed in green, an ugly green coloured dress. I was mad I wanted to get her out of the party but I didn't I felt bad, but my parents didn't. They have thrown her out of the party and I was happy. We had a lot of food left after the party. We cut the birthday cake that I was gifted at 1 am and everybody loved it. The cake was sweet chocolate and I loved it because I was craving it. The party was going great it was around 4 pm when everybody started going home and I was tired. I never liked socializing with that many people. My parent was chill about it, this story may sound a bit like a white girls life. I originally came from an Arabic family, I haven't lived in the country, I was born witch it was Chad, I am living in Dubai and I quite like it. After the party had ended we cleaned up and it wasn't that much to clean, my fiance said:

"I didn't see you eat anything and I think we should go out for your birthday dinner, what do you think?''

"Will we be going alone or with my parents?"

"I think with your parents but afterwards we could get to my apartment to celebrate it alone,"

"Okay I will talk to my parents about it"

I have told my parents and they were happy that we were going out as a family. They agreed that I should celebrate my birthday with him because I was getting married to him. Of course, the wedding was far away from my birthday but the most exciting part was that I was moving out of theirs house. We went out in different cars and it was almost 6 pm. we have arrived at the restaurant that I think my parent were in when they were on their date. The restaurant looked amazing and it smelled delicious. I ordered a salad and my mom and dad a stake and my fiance ordered chicken strips, I think he is a picky eater but I am not quite sure. The diner was excellent and we were full. My parent went home, me and Nicolas went to his apartment.

When I walked in there were rose petals everywhere and the light came from the candles, of course, there was champagne and some snacks to go with it. I was in a dark wine coloured dress and the dress was long sleeves, it was good for pictures and walking or standing, but not quite good for sitting. He said:

"I wanted to celebrate with only you so tonight we will celebrate,"

"Okay, I agree,"

"I think you are not quite comfortable in your dress, so I have bought you sweats and sweatshirts so go change and I will go change, okay?"

"Really? Thank you for buying it I was so uncomfortable in this dress,"

"I don't think your parents saw at the dinner table but I noticed that it was itchy,"

"Yes and overall it is not my type of dress,"

"Well, now you will have sweatpants here,"

"Yes, thank you,"

I kissed him and went to change. After I came out he was wearing matching sweatpants and matching a sweatshirt, he gave me slippers so my feet don't get cold. For the celebration part, we drank champagne, talked about how the party went and the party was pretty good, we took a lot of pictures, played some games everybody seemed to like. The champagne was really good and I think it was the same brand that we have drank before. After we snuggled in the living room to watch a movie and of course I sleep the next when there is a movie going. My parents texted him to ask if everything is okay so we sent them a photo of course without the champagne to let them know what we were doing. They didn't seem to care that much but they send a picture of what they were doing and they were drinking wine and watching a movie. I have fallen asleep in the middle of the movie next to him, but I could help not to fall asleep because it was so warm and I liked it. I woke up earlier than he, he was laying on his stomach and his head was turned away from me, he had one of his hands on my legs. I started to rub his back and he was without the sweatshirt and loomed smoking hot, he woke up, turned to me, put his hand around me and went back to sleep. I was playing with his hair when he woke up. His voice had me melting for him. I have never heard that sexy of a morning voice. He looked sleepy but was super hot. I went to the kitchen to make us some coffee, but not long after I left my bed he grabbed me by my waist, put me on his shoulders and carried me to the bed to cuddle. He was so soft with me, this time he laid on my chest and I rubbed his back and played with his hair(the hair was super soft). After he woke up it was 9 am and it got me thinking when did I woke up was it like 6 am but it didn't matter. We went out for breakfast and after that, he brought me home. I didn't think anything of it and I quite liked it, we talked a lot and got to know about each other a little bit more. When I got home my mom was waiting for me to ask me how was the night, did I liked it or did we do something *special*. We laughed a lot with my mom about everything. I liked my birthday because I have celebrated it with my family, friend and my fiancee. I didn't see my aunts and uncles but they did send me money as a gift and it was a lot of money, I thanked them a lot because my mom has thought me to be happy with what I get and always thank people. I opened gifts from my friends and they had bought me alcohol and gift cards and clothing. I was super happy about the gifts, I thanked them all by calling them and my biggest thank you were for them coming to my party. Some of the. didn't bring me a gift, but I didn't care I also thanked them for coming.

My mom asked me when I was moving out and I said maybe in a week when my like games back to normal, I could see that she was happy for me and for what was happening to me, but it did seem that she finally wants to be alone without me and in most Arabic families the girl doesn't love out or never moves out of their home. The exciting part to me was getting my devices license and buying my car to travel, but first I had to move out.
