Happy Birthday toooo meeeee! I am turning 26 today and like every other year I am going to have a nice lunch with my mom and dad since my family is always occupied in these days. Most of them live far away so it's not that easy to aske them to travel just to have a meal and watch me blow out a candle. My aunt palome lives in London, my grandma lives in Columbia, Charlie and their parents live in San Francisco, my cousin Diana and her mom live in Los Angeles, my Uncle Joe lives in San José. My family is dispersed all around we only get together on important dates... Although my birthday is important it was never something we celebrated together.

When I was little, I used to celebrate my anniversary with everyone, back in my hometown in LA. However when my parents and I moved to New York, my anniversary started to look small, there was no family and most of my friends were back in California.

Thank god, I met Miles and Jess, and some other people. My birthday's are the same every year and I can't complain about it because Miles and Jess always find a way to make it funnier than the year before.

So I am super excited to get my usual lunch with my parents and then have the time of my life with my friends.

For a special day, we should have a special outfit and for that matter I bought a small grey dress perfect for this almost summer vibe, a nice pair of silver shining heels and silver jewelry. A plain simple brownish make-up and to top it all Chanel n°5.

I walked downstairs happily waiting to find Dorothy. It was Saturday so by this time Blaze was already in his office working like always. At least I am having a relaxed birthday without having to deal with him.

I looked to the kitchen to find Dorothy smiling "Happy Birthday to my little and beautiful girl " she said hugging me

"Thank you so much Dorothy" I kissed her cheek and hugged her tight

"I couldn't let you pass this day without a good breakfast" she claimed taking out some pancakes filled with melted chocolate and vanilla ice cream.

"Oh my god! Dorothy you shouldn't have" I said smiling at the delicious plate

"It's your birthday Miss, I had to!" she exclaimed, behind her back appeared a pretty white bag with a soft pink bow. "And this is a small gift-"

"Dorothy! I don't want any gifts... Please" I said taking a step back. This generous woman has to put up with me every day and she is wasting her money on me. She is crazy, I can't accept it, she is way too kind, what have I done for her to deserve such gift.

"Miss this is a thank-you gift for being the best boosi ever had" She said handing me the bag

"Oh Dorothy you wasted money on me" I claimed sad

"Of course I did!" she placed her hand over my left cheeks and gave a sweet smile "You deserve this and much more"

I nodded in understatement a bit moved by her comfort words, I took the bag and inside it there was a box, I carefully opened it showing one of my favorite cakes! It was a cute box of bear cake pops!I LOVE CAKE POPS!

"From your favorite bakery" she said pointing to the words on the box. This must have been so expensive

"Oh Dorothy thank you so so much! You spent a lot of money on me, I must repay you, I don't want you to spend your money on me" I said

She place a hand over my shoulder and gave small strokes "Miss, I am giving you this because I want to! Don't worry about money, this is your gift because you deserve it" she explained, I placed the box on the kitchen aisle and embraced her in a warm hug. Dorothy has been like a mother to me in this almost one year of marriage, I must thank her every day for being so kind and patient with me! I truly love this woman!

"Thank you Dorothy!" I exclaimed, a tear escaping from my eye.

"No lame things now!" she said letting me go "You need to eat come on" she placed the plate over the other side of the kitchen aisle and grabbed the box of the cake pops and placed it on the fridge. "The cakes are on the fridge, now eat your pancake"

"I will, thank you" I smiled grabbing a piece of my wonderful breakfast.

"I will be leaving now Miss" she said grabbing on her bag and heading to the elevator. I made a confused face, what about Blaze? Is she leaving with him on the house?

"Where are you going?" I asked curious

"Home. Mr.Maxwell told me there was no need for me to show up today however I fought him to make you a special breakfast"

"Oh- thank you Dorothy" I said still confused, why would he tell Dorothy to leave when he is staying home by himself? Is he cooking for himself? That's a bit lonely and sad.

"Bye bye Miss I will be going now" sheever at me entering the elevator "Have a good day!" the doors closed and I was suddenly having my birthday breakfast alone and confused.

I ate my breakfast while checking on my birthday texts on the phone, messages of happy birthday from my friends and also some followers on Instagram. Turns out I was trending on Twitter with a fun and superb hashtag #HAPPYBIRTHDAYBLAZE'SWIFE

They didn't even knew my name, I let out a chuckle while reading the happy birthday wishes.

"Are you ready to go?" I heard him question out of nowhere scaring me

I placed my hand into my fast heart and looked at him while frowning my eyebrows. "Ready to go where?" I asked myself out loud

"To the reunion" he stated as it was a fact that I should be aware of but which I clearly wasn't

"The reunion? What reunion?"

"The reunion we scheduled. Isn't that why you are dressing like that?" he questioned taking a look at my dress while eating his breakfast

"No... I had things planned?"

"You had things planned? With that dress? Are you going to cheat on me or something?" he teased "How can you have things planned when you have a scheduled reunion?"

"What reunion?" I asked, I scheduled a reunion today, on my birthday? Impossible! I wouldn't do such thing and I am sure Jessica wouldn't do it either, she perfectly know my birthday.

"With the Finnegan's... Don't tell me you forgot?" He smirked "how responsible of you"

"How can I forget about it if I didn't even had knowledge about it?"

"You didn't know about it?" he asked

"No"

"But I asked Connor to tell you and I am sure your assistant confirmed the day" he explained while taking the cutlery over to the sink.

"Jennifer wouldn't confirm this day?"

"Why? What the hell happens today?" he questioned curious. It's more than normal that he has no idea when my birthday is since I never told him, I wasn't expecting him to know, hell, I wasn't even expecting to spend the day with him and the Finnegan couple talking about WORK!

"Nothing" I murmured searching for Jess's number on my phone and calling her

"I am really intrigued to know what is so special about today" he said while I was waiting for Jess to pick up

"HELLO BIRTHDAY GIRLL! HAPPY BDAY TO YOU! I LOV-"

"Jen!" I stopped her "Do I have a reunion today?" I questioned getting straight to the point

"No?! Why would you it's your birthday, I wouldn't make you do on a reunion on your birthday" she explained

"Hm... Are you sure?"

"I am... You had a reunion for this day whoever I managed to change it."

"Did you?" I questioned

"Yeah... Let me see. It's on your schedule" I waited for a moment then I heard a strange noise "oh oh"

"Oh oh?" I frowned my eyebrows together "what does oh oh mean? JEN!"

"I may not have told Connor to change the date"

"Jenniffer!"

"I am so sorry honey I totally forgot it! I was so focused in other things that I-"

"It's okay" I said looking at him, his eyes staring at me waiting to hear that he was right

"I am so sorry Ell! I didn't mean to, oh no! It's your birthday I am so sorry"

"It's okay Jen! It's okay" I tried to calm her down "I have to go, I will talk to you later"

"Ok... I am so sorry El! See you later" she said in a sad tone probably referring to the fact she forgot to tell me such an important thing like that... However I don't blame her, it happens, now it's done there's no turning back.

"So... What happened? Did you forgot it or it was your assistant's fault?" he asked

"I forgot about it " I lied

"Hm... I see" he commented while getting his coat and car keys "Are you ready?"

"Yeah" I said taking placing my plate and cup on the sink and grabbing my small bag

"Are you sure?" He questioned looking at my small diamond bag

"Yeah... what is it now?"

"Nothing... We are just traveling to the other side of the United States and you decide to bring that mini bag that only has your phone in it" he commented

"The other side of the United States?" I asked confused, our reunions were usually in New York

"Mr. and Mrs. Fennigan weren't able to travel to New York so we agreed on going there... That was also something I recall telling Connor about. Did your assistant not tell you?" I swear sometimes Jennifer forgets to tell me everything that is in fact important!

"Five minutes!" I exclaimed running up the stairs and quickly choosing a bigger bag with everything I needed for me and for the reunion. I can't believe I am traveling to the other side of the States on my own birthday to a freaking reunion! What am I? Blaze? This is such a Blaze thing to do, spent your anniversary working...BEST DAY EVER.

To speak the truth I was quite upset. How could I spent my day with none of the people I love?.. it was so frustrating especially how could I cnfront my mother, my own mother that I'm not spending my birthday with her how can I tell her to cancel our lunch together with my dad.

We were already on his jet plane, I kept looking at the phone unsure on how to text my mother that I wouldn't celebrate my birthday with them.

"You seem a bit upset..." he commented

"Do I?" I lifted my eyebrow not amused at all, of course I am upset but I am not telling him that.

"I see..."

"How long is this going to take can I get back to New York before dinner?" I asked

"Hm I think so... If you want to"

"Why is that? If I want to...?!"

"I am staying the night" he said while reading some papers of his

"Oh ok... Well I need to get back" I stated a bit unsure on how to feel about coming to New York alone, not that I was afraid or something but it was weird being apart I guess.

Our talk ended shortly and the whole time we were on the air not a one word was spoken. The silence was killing and my head kept wondering and getting revolted at him. Does he really not know that it's my birthday? This is unbelievable.

It's not like he should know, I mean no one told him so, but still for some reason I wanted him to know about it. I mean he is my goddamn husband and he doesn't know today it's my birthday. I don't want a present, a gift, I just wanted a happy birthday since he is the only person I am spending my freaking birthday with!

"We are here" he informed me getting out of the jet plane and then entering the black Mercedes which he was driving. We travel to California and he owns a car here?

"Is this your car?"

"Yes..."

"You have a car 2700 miles away from your house and where you live?!" I questioned him, this man was ridiculously wealthy and also stupid

"I do, yes! Now get in, we are late" he demanded. So I did get in the car hoping to be back at New York by dinner.

After a 30 minute ride we got near a harbor, where the hell are we going? "Are we eating fish?" I asked

"They told me it was here" he said parking the car and getting out. I took a deep breath and got out too

"I hope you know where you taking us" I said while looking at the calm blue waters.

When I noticed a woman with a white shirt and some blue letters with 'LA HARBOR'written on it greeted us "Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell?" Blaze noted answering her question

"They are waiting for you" She guided us through the deck, we stopped right in front of a big fancy yacht 

I looked over at the yacht and then at the woman... Are we having our reunion here? That's weird... Not very professional but at least it's nice.

I looked again at the woman and gestured for me to get in, I glanced at Blaze and he shook his head encouraging me to get on board.

I took a deep breath and stepped into the yacht with Blaze always behind me.

Finally in the yacht, I took a look around to find delicious food on tables, bartenders on the bar preparing drink, dozens of balloons and - my family.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU-"
