Chapter 0047

GRACE’S POV

It’s my birthday

I’ma do what I like

I’ma eat what I like

I’ma kiss who I like

It’s my birthday

As the pulsating beats of the chorus of Anne Marie’s ‘Birthday‘ reverberated through the stereo speakers, I found myself unable to resist anymore. As I brushed my hair, my head swayed with the rhythm as I lip- synced every word, fully immersed in getting the tone right.

I’ma do what I like

I’ma wear what I like

I’ma party tonight

Goddamn, it’s my birthday

Everybody love me

Yeah, yeah, yeah, look at me, gimme money

Damn, it’s my birthday

I stopped to properly apply my lipstick. I smacked my lips together and gave myself a charming smile in the mirror. I straightened and admired myself in the mirror, my eyes lingering on the neckline of the dress, the emerald necklace Sydney made for me, my accentuated curves and the slit of the dress.

“Damn! I look good,” I drawled as I swirled before of the mirror, my heart filled with immense joy. Joel is definitely going to love it!

It was a weekday but I had taken the day off dressed to the nines in the sexy dress I recently designed. Joel had asked that we meet up later today but I have decided to surprise him.

I slipped my feet into my favorite heels and picked up my back. “All done!” I chirped and reassessed my

look in the mirror for the last time.

I turned off the stereo. My eyes swept through the room one last time to be sure I wasn’t forgetting anything then I walked to the front door. After I’d locked the door, I brought out my phone and took a selfie. I smiled, impressed at how hot I looked. I was about to send it to Joel when I stopped. I turned off my phone and tucked it back in my bag.

If I sent him the selfie, he would definitely guess that I was already on my way to his place which would ruin the surprise

The security guard was waving at a kid walking a puppy when I got there, when he saw me his smile faltered slightly.

“Hey man,” I grinned at him, “How’re you doing today?”

“Grace! I’m good.” he grinned, “You look really good.”

The security guard at Joel’s apartment complex was a really nice man and he and I had become a little bit more than acquaintances since I frequent here often

I blushed, “Thank you.”

Then he looked up, “You here to see Joel?”

I drew back and gave him a weird look, “Ofcourse, who else? He’s around, right?”

He bit his lips and shook his head, “I’m not sure.”

I waved my hands in the air, “No worries, I’d just check if he’s in or not.”

His eyebrows creased and he looked like he was about to say something but then his brows smoothed and he smiled. “Alright then.”

I frowned as I proceeded up to his apartment, if Joel wasn’t going to be around, he usually informed me so what’s with the guard saying he wasn’t sure if he was in? I shrugged, maybe he stepped out for a bit and he didn’t see him return.

I paused at the door and smoothed down my dress and patted my hair. Then with a deep breath, I turned the knob and the door opened to reveal a shirtless Joel, trembling and hunched over on his largest couch, slender fingers gripping his shoulders.

My heart momentarily skipped a beat then it started to beat rapidly as the scene made more sense.
