My phone was doing numbers as I slowly awakened. I frowned at the number of mentions I received from one post. Clicking on one of the notifications, I laughed at what I saw.

@KDawg49: Guys, if you get a good girl, cherish her. This woman has stood by me at my highest and lifted me from my lowest. I don't deserve her love, yet she gave me that and then some. I put her through so much and I regret it. I threw everything we had away for pussy and pride. If I could take things back, I would in a heartbeat. I love you LeShaun. Always will. Happy birthday @LeShaunJames

Reading the posts and all the requests for me to take him back made me laugh. That was dead.

I locked my phone and snuggled back under the cover.

"Get off." I groaned as Izaiah pounced on me. I think he forgot that he'd gained weight over the years. As good as he felt on top of me, I was being crushed. He ignored my pleas while planting random kisses all over my face.

"Get up, birthday girl." He cooed as he lifted me up.

"Put me down!" He raised me higher, pretending to let me go. My arms flew around his neck trying to hold myself steady. "Gently!"

He laughed and fell back on the bed, I snuggled into his side.

"You better not fall asleep." He glared, poking my nose.

"But it's my birthday." I pouted. He laughed and pecked my lips, taking me by surprise.

"Sor-" I placed my hand over his mouth and smiled. That one simple action awakened the butterflies in my stomach. With their courage, I moved my hand and leaned in. Catching my hint, he placed his lips on mine. It felt so much better than I remembered, mostly because we were both sober and grown. The moment felt so right. We had the perfect chemistry. Magical, I had to pinch myself to make sure this was real and not one of my dreams.

"It's real, baby girl." He mumbled, resting his forehead against mine.

"What does this mean?" I whispered softly.

"Today is your day, we do whatever you want." He pulled me closer. Kissing my forehead. I tried to fight the blush heating my cheeks.

"Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday little Shaunie. Happy birthday to you." Koyan sang like Marilyn Monroe. I couldn't help but laugh as she walked through the door with a box of donuts. Lord was behind her with a bag and a look on his face. "Happy birthday baby girl."

"Thank you." I cooed, hugging them both.

"You're welcome baby, now Zay get out we have girl time." Koyan demanded as he placed me back on the bed and walked out with Lord. "So, spill."
