"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday beautiful wife, happy birthday to you." Nick said with a grin as he stood over Jackie as she sleepily opened her eyes.
"Thank you." She said grinning at him as she eyed the cupcake in his hand.
She sat up and took a bite of the cupcake.
"Want some?" she asked.
He shook his head no.
"So what do you want to do today?" He asked.
"I was thinking we could go to a movie and then we could do something we haven't done in a while." She said.
"Yeah?" He asked with a grin.
She laughed at him
"Not that." She said.
"Damn it." He said with a mock frown.
She laughed harder.
"I meant we could go dancing." She said.
"Yeah, we could do that." He agreed.
"What movie do you want to see?" He asked.
"The new one with Brad Minkle in it." She said with a grin.
He groaned
"You just want to see that because you think he is good looking." He said.
Her grin got bigger
"Please Nicky." She said.
"Alright, it is your birthday, I guess you can swoon over someone if you want."
"Thank you." She said with a sweet smile.
He rolled his eyes.
They got ready and went to the matinee.
"Jackie, you're drooling." Nick whispered in her ear with a smirk after glancing at her and noticing that her eyes were fixated on the screen.
"I am not." She whispered back as she swatted his arm gently.
"That movie was one of the most boring movies I have ever seen." Nick complained as they got back into his truck after it was over.
"Oh it was not." Jackie protested.
"I think I fell asleep once." Nick teased.
She rolled her eyes.
He laughed "Dinner than dancing?" He asked.
"Sure." She agreed.
They went for Chinese food and then went to their favorite dancing bar.
They danced for hours on end and neither wanted to stop but they had to go pick up their kids from her parent's house so they started to put their coats on so they could leave but just as they were about ready to walk out the door music from a certain song came on and both recognized it immediately.
Both of them stopped, looked at each other and smiled and then Nick grabbed her hand and led her back onto the dance floor, the song that was playing was their wedding song. Nick held her close as they swayed back and forth together.
Nick started singing softly in her ear:
She's a yellow pair of running shoes
A holey pair of jeans
She looks great in cheap sunglasses
She looks great in anything
She's I want a piece of chocolate
Take me to a movie
She's I can't find a thing to wear
Now and then she's moody
She's a Saturn with a sunroof
With her brown hair a-blowing
She's a soft place to land
And a good feeling knowing
She's a warm conversation
That I wouldn't miss for nothing
She's a fighter when she's mad
And she's a lover when she's loving
And she's everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
I talk about her, I go on and on and on
'Cause she's everything to me
She's a Saturday out on the town
And a church girl on Sunday
She's a cross around her neck
And a cuss word 'cause its Monday
She's a bubble bath and candles
Baby come and kiss me
She's a one glass of wine
And she's feeling kinda tipsy
She's the giver I wish I could be
And the stealer of the covers
She's a picture in my wallet
and my three beautiful children's mother
She's the hand that I'm holding
When I'm on my knees and praying
She's the answer to my prayer
And she's the song that I'm playing
And she's everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
I talk about her, I go on and on and on
'Cause she's everything to me
She's the voice I love to hear
Someday when I'm ninety
She's that wooden rocking chair
I want rocking right beside me
Everyday that passes
I only love her more
Yeah, she's the one
That I'd lay down my own life for
And she's everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
She's everything to me
Yeah she's everything to me
Everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
She's everything to me
When the song ended Jackie looked at him and smiled. He smiled back and then leaned in and gave her a soft kiss on the lips. They then left hand in hand. As far as Jackie was concerned it had been a terrific birthday and what a wonderfully sweet and romantic way to end her special day.
The End! Please review!
Note: There is no such actor (at least that I am aware of) named Brad Minkle, I made him up.
Note: the bolded text in the song indicates Nick changed the words as he was singing to her to fit their own lives. The actual lyrics there are unborn children's mother.
