It was my birthday's eve...I was happy, I always get excited about my birthday even when I am going to turn 28 but...I told my family and friends that I might come back on this day, 7 years later and those seven years complete tomorrow.

But I don't want to go back...I don't want to meet them.

Finally, I am happy and satisfied and at peace with my life, all because of Isaac; he is all I needed and I have him with me right now.

Our relationship improved a lot in the past one month. We seemed to be like real couples now and he treats me the way I always wanted to treated; he cares for me, he is sweet now, sure he is short-tempered but he is good...he is kind hearted and that's all I want.

His friendship with Nyle seems to improve everyday and we have lunch together almost everyday; me, Isaac, Nyle and Josh; this is our friend circle.

But my crazy friends have not yet stopped pestering me with their crazy questions. The day I told him that we consummated our marriage since then they ask me almost everyday that whether we slept again together not.

And to be honest...we did.

Well...back to the main problem...should I go back? But what will I do after going back? Tell them I am sorry? No.

Isaac said I should go back...but I don't want to.

"What are you thinking about, sweetheart?", Isaac asked sitting beside me on the bed while I was lying.

"Nothing important..."

"Where were you?", I asked him cause he just came inside the bedroom.

"In the study."

"Again...why do you work so much, Isaac?"

"Cause I want to be the richest person in the world", he said arrogantly.

I scoffed, "Stop being so ambitious. Aren't you satisfied being the 4th richest person?"

"Not yet."

"What do you want to buy with all those money?

"The whole world."

"But yet you can't buy peace with that, you can't buy happiness with that and you can't buy love with that."

He leaned down towards me and brushing his finger over my cheeks, he whispered staring into my eyes, "I guess I already have all those things."

I melted at his words.

He leaned in further and whispered against my lips, "You are my peace, you are my happiness, you are my... everything, Larisa. If I have you with me then I don't need anything else. "

How can I not love this man?

He kissed me briefly on my lips for a second and parted away.

"That was really cheesy", I joked making him chuckle softly, "You make me say things I never thought I would say."

I grinned, "You are welcome."

Kissing the tip of my nose, he got up saying, "I am coming in a minute."

I pouted, "Where are you going?"

"Have patience, sweetheart", with that he went away and I got up and sat on the bed cross legged, silently

He returned in a minute just as he said, but this time he had a tray in his hand.

He walked over to the bed and kept the tray on the bed and sat beside me.

On the tray was a chocolate mug cake.

He kissed me again on my lips softly, this time for a few more seconds but before I could deepen the kiss, he pulled away and whispered, "Happy Birthday, my lovely wife. Thank you for surviving with me."

I almost jumped at him and hugged him tightly wrapping my arms around his neck as his arms were wrapped tightly around my body.

"Thank you", I smiled pulling back.

"You're welcome", he said kissing my forehead.

I looked back at the tray and at the mug cake.

He scratched the back of his neck nervously and said, "I tried to make you a mug cake and that was the first time I made something so I don't know how it tastes."

"You made this?"

He nodded, "And I might and might not have broken one of the mugs and the batter might and might not have spilled on the kitchen top."

He looked so nervous as if I would scold him for breaking the mug and dirtying the kitchen. I only chuckled and kissed his cheeks.

"Thank you so much... don't worry I will clean the kitchen."

He took out a small cake candle from his pocket and placed it on the cake and then he pulled out his lighter but I scowled at him.

He looked at me and then at the lighter in his hand, "Umm...I swear I am trying to stop smoking but you can't expect me to leave it within a day..."

"Ok fine. Light the candle."

He lighted the candle and told me to make a wish.

What can I ask for when I already have everything I ever wanted.

I looked at him, staring deeply into his eyes and then I closed my eyes.

"I want to spend the rest of my life with him; I want him as my soulmate."

That's what I wished before I blew the candle.

Taking the spoon, I took a bite of the cake while he was watching me curiously.

"Is it edible?", he asked curiously and I gave the spoon to him to taste it himself.

The moment he ate it, he exclaimed, "What the hell?! That's too sweet... don't eat it or else you will get a sugar rush."

He looked embarrassed but I didn't care how the cake tasted because his effort was enough to make me happy.

"Hey... it's okay...you tried to make it and that's enough for me", I said pulling his cheeks.

"But...what else do you have for me?", I asked excitedly.

"Believe me, you won't like it."

"Why? Is it that bad?"

"Promise you won't laugh."

"I won't."

He got up and left the room and returned in a minute with something in his hand that I couldn't see.

Sitting beside me, he handed me a white paper and as I took it, I realised that it was a birthday card.

The paper was white in colour and a picture of us from our wedding was in the front and as I opened it, inside it was written simply, "Happy Birthday, Larisa."

I tried to stifle my laugh but eventually burst out laughing and fell back on the bed while I laughed holding my stomach.

"Oh God! You made a card for me", I laughed making Isaac scowl

"I know it's not good but all the ideas over YouTube were so difficult and what can I buy you when you have everything", he grumbled making me stop laughing.

Getting up, I wiped my tears that formed due to laughing.

"You are so cute! I can't believe you made a card for me", I said getting on his lap.

He rolled his eyes, "You can throw it away. I know it's not good...I wasn't going to give it to you anyway."

"Throw it away? I am getting it framed."

"You won't."

"I will."

"Larisa", he warned making me chuckle.

"Anyway", he spoke, "what do you want?"

I shook my head, staring at him with love and affection, "You are right; I already have everything."

With that I pressed my lips upon his, wrapping my hands on his neck and he wrapped his hand around my waist.

He parted away his lips and with that the soft and sweet kiss turned into a more rough one as he shoved his tongue inside my mouth. His tongue explored every inch of my mouth and then he sucked on my lower lip.

I parted away from the kiss for some air and he started trailing kisses across my jaw and then down to my neck.

His hands went under my t-shirt and started rubbing circles there and when he started sucking on the base of my neck, I knew it was going to be a long night...

________________________________________

I kept my phone aside after replying to almost thousand of birthday messages that was from my followers and a few acquaintance.

When I woke up this morning, Isaac was not there; and he left me a message saying that something important came up and he won't be back till the evening. Like seriously? He left me alone on my birthday!

I didn't want to celebrate my birthday, I mean I didn't want to have any grand celebration or something, I don't like all those things...my idea for a perfect birthday is close friends that get gathered at your house, delicious food and a cake; that's it.

So, Isaac said that if I want to celebrate then he can arrange a party but I refused.

I thought I will simply in the evening cut a cake along with Isaac, Nyle and Josh but Isaac is not here, Josh said he was busy as he went to meet his mother and Nyle, well...he came to meet me in the afternoon but he didn't bring me any gift, not that I want anything but I was just teasing him.

I received a message from Isaac saying that he will return in an hour and told me to get ready. For what? I already told him that I don't want to have a big celebration.

Anyway, I got up got freshened up before taking out a simple dress to wear because I have no idea what he is going to do.

I applied a very light makeup, just a little blush, a nude lipstick and mascara. I got ready within half an hour.

As I was getting bored, I put on a movie and watched it while waiting for him in our room.

There was a knock on my door and I said, "Come in."

Cynthia walked in and said, "Someone is down here to meet you."

"Who?"

"I am not supposed to tell you the name."

"What do you mean by that? Is it Isaac?"

"I think you should come and see yourself." Before I could ask her anymore questions, she left leaving me in confusion.

I switched off the TV and walked downstairs into the living room and I could hear someone whisper.

Just as I entered the living room, I froze.
