You were a stubborn spitfire, a woman with a fiery spirit that matched Xavier's own.

From the moment Xavier laid eyes on you, he was captivated.

Xavier pursued you relentlessly, undeterred by your initial resistance.

God, Xavier was a man on a mission.

Eventually, you succumbed to Xavier's charm, and you both began a passionate romance.

The love story was one for the books.

Xavier made it feel like a fairytale.

A heavenly bliss.

Xavier showered you with his charm and affection.

In return, you challenged him, keeping him on his toes while loving him just as much.

Xavier confessed his love, and you reciprocated, both of your feelings as strong as your personalities.

Soon, you introduced each other to families and the media.

Surprisingly, the responses were overwhelmingly positive.

That was how your relationship blossomed under the public eye.

Life was blissful, a whirlwind of lavish dates, shared laughter, and a deep, abiding love.

Recently, Xavier had to travel from New York City, to California for crucial meetings with investors and to oversee a significant project.

It was a business trip that would take Xavier away for twenty days.

Oh, twenty long days.

The timing couldn't have been worse; your birthday fell right in the middle of Xavier's trip.

Despite your understanding of the importance of Xavier's work, a tinge of sadness colored your anticipation for your special day.

You begrudgingly agreed, knowing his ambition and drive, but also secretly longed for Xavier's presence.

Every day, you playfully teased him, lamenting Xavier's absence from his luxurious mansion.

And oh, how you goaded him with playful barbs about Xavier's missed opportunity to celebrate with you.

It was your way of staying connected, a lighthearted banter that masked the genuine ache of separation.

In both of your hearts.

As midnight struck on your birthday, your phone rang.

It was Xavier, ofcourse.

The man was always right on time.

You just picked up and Xavier showered you with compliments, stealing your breath right out of your fucking lungs.

"Happy birthday, darling," Xavier said softly, his voice filled with warmth. "I hope your day will be filled with everything your heart desires."

Oh, how your heart desired Xavier—

You pushed that thought away, though.

For now.

"You deserve all the happiness in the world, sweetheart," Xavier continued, his voice low and smooth. "Now quickly make a wish."

The silence of his mansion pressed in around you, amplifying the ache in your chest for Xavier's presence.

A gentle smile touched your lips as you imagined Xavier's warm embrace, a comfort you desperately missed.

"I wish you weren't miles away right now," you whispered, the words a genuine reflection of your heart's desire.

"Open the door," Xavier's voice cut through your thoughts.

Wait. What the fuck—

Before you could say anything, Xavier hung up.

Whoa. What the actual fuck?

Little did you know, Xavier had finished his work in California five days early and had flown back to surprise you.

How could he not?

The distance had been a torment, and the thought of seeing your surprised face, of finally holding you again, had fueled Xavier's impatience.

Xavier was holding a bouquet of your favorite flowers, their vibrant colors a stark contrast to the plain hallway wall.

A mischievous grin played on Xavier's lips as he waited for you, his heart thrumming with anticipation for your reaction.

Xavier leaned against the doorframe, ready to witness the moment you realized he was truly there.
