Justice: Chapter 5 - Birthday Blues
This couldn't be more nerve wracking. My boyfriend, Hal, had a birthday coming up in a month. What the hell was I going to get him as a present? Fidgeting uncomfortably in my lounge chair, I continued to stare at the computer screen. Amazon really wasn't helping me come up with any ideas, which was unusual seeing as I bought everything off of the website! Frustrated that I couldn't come up with an idea, I sat my computer to the side. Maybe I could be his present…? Becoming embarrassed at my own idea I wildly shook my head. Perhaps instead I could slyly ask him what he wants. Pursing my lips together I glared across the room. Luckily, I had time before I had to get something, but I was so gitty about it I couldn't relax.
The team had brought it up the other day and I hadn't forgotten about it. Hal made a big deal about his birthday the years before as well. So I knew how important this was to him, or at least how highly his narcissistic personality put it on his scales. I had to get him something amazing as his boyfriend. My hands slid into my hair and I gripped it tightly as I panicked about the subject. Maybe I could just give him a blowjob. Letting my head slam down on my coffee table, I gave a heavy huff as I continued to think about what to do. What if I just figured out how to get him a really awesome jet? Maybe I could talk Diana into letting him fly her invisible baby. No, that's probably her present to him. "Ugh!" I flung my body up and stumbled across the room in farther frustration. "I'm just get him a damn sex basket!" Grabbing my face and spinning around, I turned red at seeing Bruce standing in the doorway.
One of his eyebrows perked as he pursed his lips together, "sex basket? Can't decide what to get Hal for his birthday?" The bat came in and sat down on my sofa as if he owned the place. Of course, he could probably buy my property right out from under me without a second thought. "Why don't you just ask him?" He crossed his legs as he looked around the room.
Coming over, I plopped down beside him. "It can't be that simple."
His hand fell on my shoulder, "but it can." He snorted before getting up. "Anyways, this discussion wasn't why I came here." He walked over to a shelf and picked something up. "I'll be leaving now that I got what I wanted." He stopped at the door and we slowly looked at one another, "I happen to know a secret desire of Hal's, if you're interested?" One of his eyebrows perked as he came back over as I nodded with a lot of interest. He leaned over grinning from ear to ear. "I found out his favorite movie is Dirty Dancing, and he's always wanted to act out their final dance together. Him being Johnny, and his someone special being Baby." My eyes narrowed in curiosity at how he knew this, but I decided not to ask and go with the information. "He practices the dance by himself often." The bat rose and nodded to me, "hope that helps in some way. See you later."
Honestly, I had only seen that movie once and wasn't sure how I felt about it. But, for Hal, I could learn the dance and do this for him. Of course I still wanted to get him an actually present as well. I'd have to keep thinking about everything. Picking back up my computer, I began to look online again just scrolling through the websites didn't help at all. Maybe a nap would help me think of something. Laying down on the sofa, I let my eyelids drift shut and I fell asleep.
Flinching as I got woken up, I turned to see Hal sitting next to me on the couch. Feeling his fingers rake through my hair, I couldn't help to let myself press into his touch. He leaned down over me and pecked my lips, "I missed you so I came to see what you were doing. I didn't expect to find you sleeping so cutely on your couch. Why didn't you go to bed?" I blushed and just nuzzled him in response. One of his hands slid under my chin, pulling my face up where we could look at one another. Slowly he pushed himself in closer to me and we laid together holding one another. My nose slid over his and I began to kiss him as we sat there together. This was like a dream to me. Shifting, I pressed my face into his chest and kissed his collarbone, nipping his throat playfully. His hands pressed into the small of my back bringing me in a much as possible to his warmth. As we gazed longingly at one another our eyelids drifted shut. Once again, I fell asleep, this sometime in a much more relaxed state though.
Please, please, please, do tell me what you think. Thank you for reading! :)
