As I pretended that i forgot her birthday, my girlfriend leave the house, her expression still sulky. I immediately went to the kitchen. The sound of chopping vegetables filled the room as I worked, my movements quick and efficient.

Time passes around

As I heard the sound of the door closing, I took a deep breath, preparing myself. I sat down at the table, waiting for her to enter the room.

I watched as she walked towards me, a determined look on her face. As she pushed me back against the table, I quickly pointed to the cake that was sitting nearby.

As I spoke, I watched as her eyes shifted from the cake to my face, a small glimmer of curiosity in them.

"There's a cake, wanna try it? Or..do you want me instead? It's your birthday after all."

My body felt something else as she continued to study me, my body pressed against the hard edge of the table.
