Today was January 31. I knew it was my birthday, but to me it was just another date on the calendar—a reminder that I was a year older, nothing more.

I woke up late immediately checking my phone for the time and to no surprise there were no phone calls and no messages.The feeling of loneliness seemed to linger a little heavier than usual and today only served to highlight that emptiness.

I got up and like any other day I took a run around the local park then showered. I heard a knock on my door soon after and wrapped a towel around myself unlocking my room door.

"Happy birthday!" Frankie appeared in front of me with what looked like a german chocolate cake with the numbers twenty-three on them. I opened my door slightly wider allowing her to enter completely with the cake. Once she put it on my desk I pulled her arms around my neck to bring her closer to me.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAMMv2iZUEA1
"Thank you for the cake." I spoke lightly in her ear causing her to smile up at me.

"You seem to be in a good mood." She brushed an eyelash off of my face then cradled my head with her hands leaning in for a kiss. I ran my hands down her body reaching her hips and swiftly lifted her legs allowing them to wrap around me. She gasped at the sudden movements but adjusted into it quickly. Her cheeks tinted to a rosey color and her legs gripped around my body tight.

"I'm just happy to see you."
14Please respect copyright.PENANAbmhN4VSIQE
"I haven't even given you the second half of your gift."

She crashed her lips into mine, intensely as she molded her body into mine. I walked us over to the bed while we continued and I laid her down gently on my pillow hovering over her. I still had my towel on but the knot i tied on my waist was starting to come undone because of our movements. We paused for a minute and I looked at her waiting for her to stop me but she didn't. I kissed down her body lifting up her t shirt in the process leaving her with a lacy black bralette that was completely transparent.

Gio's advice sat in the back of my mind. I hesitated before letting myself fully indulge in my mental fantasy. I couldn't look her in the eyes because I knew I'd feel guilty and not want to continue so I kissed my way down to her shorts pulling them off of her. She excitedly wiggled them off while giggling. She wore a lacy set that showed off her most intimate parts and I wondered if she knew this would happen or if she just always wore things like this under her clothes.

I made my way back up her body and started sucking on her neck prompting little moans to escape her lips. I glanced at her momentarily and to my surprise she seemed more nervous than anything. I created some space between us and looked at her this time.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAOBcPaNvyLC
"Are you okay?" I questioned.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAeFgWNQPkwr
"Of course! I'm just- I didn't know we'd be doing this."
14Please respect copyright.PENANAoSQvcou2gm
"We can stop if you want."
14Please respect copyright.PENANAg1JujVFfEB
"No, I don't want to."
14Please respect copyright.PENANAJkxMkCWV4I
"Are you sure?"
14Please respect copyright.PENANAgRMkp4fz9X
She nodded her head to which I was dissatisfied with.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAd9Z5231R76
"I want to hear you say it."
14Please respect copyright.PENANAayImh8Fv3z
"Yes, I'm sure." She bit her lip slightly turning her lips up into a nervous smile.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAy57ujJHz4y
I went back down to her neck letting one hand cup her face while the other one slid down to her left leg, lifting it up allowing her to perfectly mold into me. She moved her hand down my torso to my knotted towel and tugged on the knot allowing it to fully drop. I threw the towel on the floor and repositioned myself on top of her. I worked my way down her body again, kissing every inch of her skin. I got down to her lacy thong and pulled it off.

As I was about to taste her, a loud obnoxious ring sounded in the room pulling us both away from the moment. She sat up covering her chest with the blanket and grabbed her phone off of the bedside table. She looked at me before looking back at the caller ID which I couldn't see because she immediately declined it.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAyFnjX87vNH
"Who was it?"
14Please respect copyright.PENANAoHWc37XmRZ
"It was West."
14Please respect copyright.PENANA3huuPWcfMA
"Why's he calling?"
14Please respect copyright.PENANAl34bZfzXDG
"I'm not sure, let's just get back to what we were doing." She laid back flat on the bed pulling me over her. We were fully naked at this point and the phone call threw me off but it didn't take much to get back to where we were. We were so close my hardened dick was unintentionally being rubbed on her stomach. She gripped it to move it down to her clit and move my tip around her. I grunted at the sensation hitching my breath. She tilted her head back releasing small moans.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAKe8uzmngG0
Once again, we were interrupted by another ring from her phone but this time I moved away first. "Just silence your phone." I spoke irritated.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAYFp783RnGW
"It might be important, I should answer this time." She sat up completely throwing on her shirt and shorts before taking her phone out of the room to answer.
14Please respect copyright.PENANA1hySFlbFy4
I huffed throwing my hands on my head leaning back into the bed. I waited patiently for maybe five minutes before getting up and putting clothes on. Another ten minutes passed before she entered the room.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAQdc8anuHGs
"I'm so sorry." She apologetically held her hands together with her phone in her pocket.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAPkT21GltJS
"It's okay. What did he want?" I walked up to her closing some space between us and to my surprise she took half a step back. It was such a small subtle movement but didn't go unnoticed.
14Please respect copyright.PENANARXxSHN9IBZ
"He's asking me to talk in person, he's saying somethings going on with his family."
14Please respect copyright.PENANABFfFmXNTb2
"Is he okay?"
14Please respect copyright.PENANAP7rqolJRyj
"Yeah I think so but I better go and check on him."
14Please respect copyright.PENANAjmI0AnyIzB
"I can take you."
14Please respect copyright.PENANAHEAxzJ04Oc
"No, it's okay. It's your birthday, relax for now and I'll be back later tonight so we can finish what we started." She kissed me on the cheek then picked up her lingerie from the bed before leaving.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAAE09kumNUp
I stood there not really sure what happened but I didn't think to dwell on it. I just laid back in bed and stared at the ceiling. I checked my phone to see if my dad sent me a message and he hadn't yet and it was almost evening. Surely he'll send one before the day is over.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAp8qu4g2NN0
I finally decided after another hour I didn't want to be bored and alone so I asked Gio to meet me at the bar for some drinks. I didn't get too upset at him for forgetting it was my birthday considering what he'd been going through recently and also it wasn't that big of a deal to me but he insisted on buying all the drinks for the night because of how bad he felt once he realized.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAyjXFTNUcV0
"I can't say no to free drinks." I said before downing two more shots in the loud atmosphere. We went downtown to the strip of restaurants and bar hopped most of the night. "The least I can do for forgetting it was your birthday."
14Please respect copyright.PENANAVlLhTdjnp9
"Don't worry about that, it's not that serious."
14Please respect copyright.PENANAqlWmHi3v2U
"Dude you're old now, it is that serious."
14Please respect copyright.PENANAz1wsVUcnOB
"One year older than you isn't old." I chuckled.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAFCCtj75uUh
"You're a senior citizen now."
14Please respect copyright.PENANAS3RPY88OXR
"I'm twenty three. West turns twenty four this year you should be saying that about him."
14Please respect copyright.PENANABKA3TDR7Mu
"I forgot he was a grandpa."
14Please respect copyright.PENANAXLpKsbEvYU
"I'm gonna call him and ask if he wants to join us."
14Please respect copyright.PENANA9TI4jr9fuT
"He probably won't answer. Him and Franks are together right now at some dinner."
14Please respect copyright.PENANAmpvLtixycL
"At some dinner?" I stressed each syllable in my words as I spoke.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAnEgkQuazAe
"Yeah, he told me you knew."
14Please respect copyright.PENANACgtZnBsVse
"Knew what exactly?"
14Please respect copyright.PENANAOEJu8du5Up
"He said you knew him and Frankie were going to dinner together tonight and that you were okay with it."
14Please respect copyright.PENANABPeyC7vJP1
Maybe I'm reading too much into it. It's just dinner and Frankie and I aren't even together but it left a nasty taste in my mouth. She lied about it.
14Please respect copyright.PENANA3w1XaNORO0
"I did. Sorry I just forgot, maybe you're right I'm getting old."
14Please respect copyright.PENANAQMTBJQ66Em
"Speaking of Frankie, have you tried my method?"
14Please respect copyright.PENANAtiGFl3QLHd
"Actually yeah I did."
14Please respect copyright.PENANALb3hAUIEt8
"Well how did that go?" He sat up turning to me attentively holding a beer in his hand. Our whole conversation was probably broadcasted to the entirety of the bar because of how loud we were. I explained that instead of role playing I just thought of Summer. Which was completely fucked up and I felt like a shitty person for it but it worked. It fucking worked. Up until she had to leave.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAtP1cBtOs5a
It weighed on my conscious and I really wanted tell her what I did or at the very least, just completely cut things off with her so I wouldn't have to continue putting on a front. But the truth was, she wanted the person I was and wasn't willing to adjust to the person i've become and I wanted to stay because I was afraid of being alone. Even if that meant we both were going to be unhappy, I was willing to try to be this perfect guy for her if it meant meaning something to someone and filling some kind of void that was created in me. It was a fucked up dynamic and I knew it.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAJSCQ4LrxKw
"Holy shit." Gio's eyes went big as he looked behind me.
14Please respect copyright.PENANATz4DVC7gsK
"What?"
14Please respect copyright.PENANAhAxKITNECt
"Look at who just walked in."
14Please respect copyright.PENANAk1v2qDT2GM
I turn over to the entrance scanning all the unfamiliar faces around me until I found one I knew.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAgdxwVNjGNo
"Shit." It's Summer.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAutnQJZXGzI
"This is perfect, go bump into her and buy her a drink."
14Please respect copyright.PENANAtPxPmqXYiR
"She's not alone." I watched her move through the crowd of people by the other end of the bar and hug a blonde woman.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAvaNTry0nbT
"So then let's both go over." Gio eyed the blonde girl and I already knew where this night would be going.
14Please respect copyright.PENANA8wHjuKqrzz
I didn't even get time to object his suggestion because he got up from his seat and walked over to the other side of the bar. I followed behind making a failed attempt to sober myself up.
14Please respect copyright.PENANACa8pZMbweG
"Hi ladies." Gio slid into the seat next to the blonde lady who raised her eyebrows expressing her concern.
14Please respect copyright.PENANANIKUudOubL
"Do we know you?"
14Please respect copyright.PENANAMVN5C00pQA
"Thomas, I'm assuming this is your friend?" Summer moved her eyes from him to me.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAdCvJEgQyXi
"I'm sorry we've already had a few drinks and wanted to come over and say hi." I felt awkward like I was saying or doing the wrong thing. I don't know why I always felt that way around her.
14Please respect copyright.PENANA0f4P7TQuK5
"It's nice to meet you I'm Gwen."
14Please respect copyright.PENANA4TYr0SGCA2
"Giovanni, but you can call me Gio." He kissed her hand and I internally cringed. She seemed to enjoy it though.
14Please respect copyright.PENANAa0PJpxeLx2
"Sit down, let's drink." She called for 4 shots.
