Hi everyone. Sorry for the delay for an update. Darn work gets in the way sometimes. I hope you like this chapter. We're going to start getting into some interesting storylines in the coming chapters. On a side note, I would like to ask the readers to help me change the title of my story. Originally I was going to get into Christian every quickly but now I think it's going to be several more chapters before he appears. So with that I don't like my title now.. PM me your suggestions. Thanks and enjoy!~Mandi
Chapter 10
"Wake up mommy!" There is a little voice in my ear as the bed moves up and down. "MOMMy!" Slowly I open my eyes to see a face belonging to the little voice. It's a little boy about 5 years of age. "Why is he calling me MOMMY?" I think but do not say out loud.
"Mommy! Daddy's making you breakfast for your birthday! I wanted the chocolate cake for breakfast but Daddy said we have to wait till we sing to you for cake. So can I sing now Mommy? PLEEASSSSE!" The copper headed boy with my grey eyes bounces up and down pleading. Suddenly, Matthew comes in with a serious look in his eyes, looking straight at the beautiful little boy.
"I told you not to wake up your mother yet." He scolds the little man on the bed that looks a little like him.
"But DAAAAAD! I want to sing to her now!" whines the boy I don't know the name of.
"Let Mommy eat her breakfast first, then you can sing to her son. Come help me bring in the food." Matthew picks up the little boy who starts laughing. Together the leave the room.
My brain can't process what is happening. "I have a son? I'm married to Matthew? Where did the time ago and why can't I remember anything?" My thoughts are going back to the last thing I remember. I was at Matthew's, we made love, a LOT and then I passed out from all the activities. Nothing makes sense right now, I'll have to ask Matthew what happened to my memories.
I can smell the bacon coming in the door. "Breakfast Baby! Baby!?" I'm suddenly awake. Matthew is there with a plate of food and glass of orange juice. Where's the little boy? I need to see that little boy, MY little boy. "Baby, you ok? you look a little frazzled. What happened? Was it a bad dream?"
Dream? Was it all just a dream, but it was just so real. I want it to be real. "It was a good dream. I just really liked it, it was my birthday and I've never had a really good birthday before."
"You dreamt about your birthday? When is it and I'll make sure your dream comes true." He sits down on the bed behind me.
"The 10th."
"Of October?" I nob. "Ella, that's today! Why didn't you tell me sooner? It's short notice but I'll make it special for you. I promise."
"I never had a good birthday, so I never really think about it." I tell him as I start to eat the bacon from the plate he brought in. "Oh my goodness, this is sooo good. Thank you, I didn't realize how hungry I was." Grabbing the fork and taking a big mouthful of the omelette Matthew made me.
"I'm glad you like it. Wow, you really are hungry, aren't you." Matthew laughes as I shove another huge fork of eggs into my mouth. "Well, you enjoy it. I also bought you something and since it's your birthday it can be your present. Sorry it's not wrapped though." He hands me a brown shopping bag.
"Matthew, thank you. You didn't have too." I open the bag to see new clothes and shoes.
"I figured you didn't have much since you said you borrow from Sarah, and you'll need something to wear today." Matthew takes the bag again and sets it on the chair by the bed. "So it's your birthday, what would you like to do?"
With another piece of bacon in my mouth from my wonderful breakfast, "As long as I can stay with you all day, it doesn't matter to me."
"Well then eat up and hop in the shower. We are going to have a full day of fun."
Matthew leaves the room, I am assuming to clean up the kitchen from his cooking this morning. Once I'm done with my breakfast, Matthew takes my tray and orders me to the shower. He swaps my butt as I get out of the bed.
The shower is wonderfully warm than I feel a warmer body slide in behind me. That's my preferred heater, Matthew's warm hands and body on me. After the amazing birthday shower sex I try on my new clothes. He knew my size perfectly. These simple clothes makes me feel so loved.
We spent a wonderful day going first to the zoo seeing all the animals that I only saw on tv or in books. When Matthew told me he wanted to take me to do something I had never done, the first thing I thought of was the zoo. It was something I heard all the kids talk about doing. Their parents would take them there on the weekends, it was all the could ever talk about come Monday at school.
After such a Monday, I came home to ask my mother to take me to the zoo. She scoffed and angrily said "Absolutely not. Its a waste of time and money." was all she said to me. So that is the place I asked Matthew to take me, and a wonderful dream come true for me.
When we left the zoo, Matthew took me to a park just outside of town. It was beautiful and quiet. Touches of autumn in the air and on the trees in golden hues. "Matthew, this has been the perfect day so far. Thank you." I stand on my tippy toes and kiss his cheek as he is looking around the park.
He turns his head to look at me. "You are most welcome. Let's go over there." Matthew points to a very large Maple tree. "That's are picnic spot." Matthew locks his fingers in mine and leads me over to 'Our Tree', as I will forever call it. When we get there Matthew pulls out a tan, green and red plaid colored blanket and spreads it out on the ground under our tree.
As I sit down, I can't help but smile thinking about how happy I am. I have never been this happy in my whole life. Someday all dreams will come true and we will bring our children, including that beautiful boy that will be a miniature Matthew, to our tree. I can see it all now, Matthew running around with little Matthew. His father will toss him in the high in the air and the laughter will fill the space around me warming me from the inside.
"Ella, what are you daydreaming about it? Looks like I lost you for a second."
I open my eyes and look at the beautiful man in front of me. I'm slightly embarrassed to admit what I was really thinking about. "Nothing really, just getting lost in this beautiful day." He smiles and leans over to give me chaste kiss.
"Are you hungry?" I nob with enthusiasm. "Good." Matthew pulls some grapes out of the basket and pops one in my mouth. My teeth pop it open through the grape and the juice spreads over my mouth. The taste is so fresh and delicious. He than takes one in his own mouth. I love watching his face as he enjoying the simplest things and the urge to taste the sweetness on his lips take over me. Moving closer to him, I reach over gently tugging him on the shirt to meet me in the middle. Our lips meet to taste the fresh grape still on his lips and tongue. Losing all track of where we are and if any eyes are watching, I push him down to lay on top of him not breaking our lips embrace.
Pushing me away slightly to catch his breath, "Ella, we can't do this here. Its public and anyone can see. I still have a reputation to uphold."
Sitting back up on my side of the blanket, "I'm sorry, I just couldn't help myself."
"Well Sweetheart, you will need to. I don't want to sound conceded but I'm very well known and it would really hurt my career to be seen making out with you." He says as runs his hands through his hair.
"I understand, it won't happen again until we are alone." He smiles and gives me a wink.
"That's a deal, Sweetheart."
A few hours later as the sun is getting lower in the sky, we decide to stay to watch the sunset and then return back to Matthew's house. It was the perfect sunset to a perfect day.
Once we arrive back at the house, Matthew says, "I have one more surprise for you in the house." I can't hold on to me excitement any longer and run to the house. Matthew runs after laughing as he reaches the door a second behind me.
"That wasn't fair, missy. You had a head start." He hugs me as we are laughing with sheer joy. Matthew kisses the top of my head and then opens the door. "After you, my lady." he says is a really bad but cute attempt at being an english butler.
I giggle at him, "Thank you sir." Once inside I go to the living room and plop myself into the sofa. Matthew follows me but does not join me on the sofa. He has that beautiful mega smile on his face again. I love when he smiles and even more when that smile is because of me. "That was such a great birthday. Thank you again."
"You have one more thing coming." I'm about to stand up when Matthew says, "No, stay here and relax. I'll bring it to you." He turns toward the kitchen with the picnic basket in his hands. Probably going to put the leftovers away before he brings me my surprise. The waiting is endless and sheer torture. Time seemed to stand still as I waiting for his return.
Suddenly the lights went out. At first a bit of fear took me, since I was never fond of complete darkness. Bad things happened in the dark. All the fear left me as I saw a soft glow coming from the kitchen, accompanying the sweetest rendition of Happy Birthday. How did he get a birthday cake? I was with him all day. He reads the confusion on my face. "I called my housekeeper to bring it over while we were out." That sneaky little devil. "Go ahead, make a wish then blow out the candles. If you get it in one breath your wish will come true."
"There are so many, I don't think I can get it in one breath." I'll try though to get my wish of being with Matthew forever and make my dreams reality. Filling my lungs as much as I can, I attempt to blow out all the candles. I fail, leaving three still lite. With another puff of air I finally get those out as well.
"Why the cute little pout, Love?"
"I won't get my wish now, you put too many candles on there." I pout with my bottom lip hanging out, and arms crossed in front of me.
Matthew bursts out laughing at me. "Ella, its just an out wives tale. It makes it more fun to try to get it all in one breath. Your wish could still come true." He kneels down in front of me to wrap his arms around me.
Feeling happier in his arms, it's harder to pout. "I still think you put too many candles."
"Whatever you say, love. You take off those too many candles and I'll go get plates so we can eat this cake. Its chocolate my favorite." He runs off to the kitchen as I start to pull the candles out, counting them as I go.
One- two- three- four- five... I continuing counting up to seventeen. There were still three more left. He did put too many on the cake. I knew it. I can't wait to tease him when he gets back.
A couple minutes later he comes back with plates, forks, a knife and two glasses of milk. "You can't have chocolate cake without milk. I makes the milk taste so much better." He sets it all done in front of my on the coffee table.
Matthew starts to cut the cake when I chime in with my discovery, "So I was right you put too many candles on the cake. I'm not twenty." I smile in triumph.
"In my family, we always put one extra to wish on. It's like wishing on the year to come." Matthew takes a huge mouth full of cake followed by a gulp of milk. "Yum, my housekeeper sure does make a good cake."
"So if that's the case, I should have gotten three wishes instead of the one." I say as I take a bite of the amazing cake.
Matthew coughs a little like something went down wrong. "What? I thought he were turning nineteen."
"No. Its my seventeenth birthday."
