birthday

                                    

                                          
your alarm had went off for a second time that morning and you decided that it was time to wake up.
you rolled onto your side to wrap an arm around your boyfriends waist but instead you were met with his pillow.
you sat up and saw that he left a note on your bedside table.
good morning beautiful!
i went to run a few errands but i'll be back as soon as i can.
love, joe
you were shocked to see that he hadn't written anything about your birthday but you hoped that it was just because he wanted to do it in person. 
you walked downstairs into the kitchen and smiled once you saw that he had already made you breakfast. 
after breakfast you took a shower and got dressed for the day.
you remembered joseph had talked about going out for dinner tonight so you wanted to dress perfectly for the occasion.
it was now after 3 p.m. and he still wasn't home so you decided to call him.
" hello, love! " he greeted you as he answered the phone.
" where the fuck are you? " you replied, not even bothering to greet back.
" shit. baby, i'm sorry for being gone so long but i'm coming back home now and i'll meet you at the restaurant, okay? " he said sounding very apologetic.
" do you even know what today is? " you asked starting to get upset.
" yes i'm not that out of it. it's friday. " he laughed.
you sighed and you swore you could feel your heart break.
" yeah. yeah exactly. i was just making sure you knew. " you replied trying your best to hide the fact that you were incredibly upset with him.
" alright, baby. i'll see you at the restaurant. " he stated.
" yeah i'll see you there, bye. " you immediately hung up.
how could he not remember?
- at the restaurant -
you opened the door to the restaurant but you were met with darkness.
just as you pulled out your phone to call joseph the lights were flipped on.
" surprise! " 
you gasped when you saw all your friends and family in front of you.
" oh my god! " you placed your hand over your mouth in shock.
" happy birthday, my love. " joseph said as he walked up to you.
" baby, you did all of this for me? " you gave him smile and he wrapped his arms around you in a hug. 
" i was so pissed at you, quinn. i thought you forgot. " you said as he released you from the hug,
" what? no never, sweetheart. " he laughed as he placed a kiss on your lips.
you ran up to your best friend as she engulfed you in a hug.
" how dare you not tell me about all this? " you laughed.
" joe made me swear on my life not to. " she replied with a smile.
once you greeted everyone there the music started and you joined your friend group on the dance floor.
you felt a pair of arms wrap around your waist from the back and you recognized your boyfriends cologne.
" are you having fun? " he asked as he kissed your neck.
" yes! a lot. thank you for this, joe. " you replied and turned to face him.
" you're very welcome. happy birthday, beautiful. " he said into your ear.
you danced, had really good dinner and you were so grateful to have spent your day with all of your favorite people.
much love,
- morgan :)
