"Happy birthday to yyyyooooouuuu!!" A chorus of voices sang in less than perfect pitch and harmony.
The lights were off, darkness all around apart from the flicker of candles and the digital glow of phone screens. Beautiful face lit up, Taylor looked at the loved ones all around her. It was perfect. Almost. Her eyes sought out Cole's face, staring affectionately back from the smooth surface of a screen, held aloft so he could see the proceedings. Inhaling a huge lungful of air, she easily blew out all 30 candles haphazardly stuck atop the comically large cake. Cheers, whoops and claps greeted her as cameras flashed and precious memories recorded. Smiling at friends and family, that grin faltered somewhat as she looked at Cole again, a tangible ache at the absence of his presence. The remainder of the evening continued in a predictable, but nevertheless enjoyable fashion. Cutting of cake. Opening of presents. Commiserating about hitting the big 3-O. Soon, guests were departing for the night or else retiring to their allotted rooms. Entering her bedroom, Taylor slipped into her pajamas and crawled into bed only to stare up at the ceiling.
Her 30th birthday had proved to be a relatively quiet affair. That was good. Intentional. Gone were the outrageous and outlandish soirees that had dominated so much of her 20's. Just family and real friends. Those that mattered the most in the world to her. Well, nearly. The one person she wanted there above all was not. Sometimes, even with all the wealth and resources afforded to an international pop superstar, you just cannot best Mother Nature. Cole was stranded in New York City. Grounded by a blizzard of epic proportions that had seemingly been conjured from the ether. There were no flights, going in or out of the Northeast, even those of the luxury private kind. And so here was she was, in Nashville, hundreds of miles away from the man she loved. Cole would've been with her days ago, but her career didn't stop just because it was her birthday. There were a million and one things that demanded the attention of her entire team. Cole elected to stay and fly out at the last minute. His hard work ethic was one of the things she loved most about him, but in this particular instance it really sucked. Taylor scrolled through her phone, the only source of light in the dark room as she waited for Cole's reply.
Course' Swift. I'd have someone there tonight if you wanted. Don't want you going to bed alone on your b-day
Taylor smiled. It was such a sweet sentiment. She hurriedly typed out a response.
Not tonight. Not with everyone staying over.
Tomorrow then. He can be there in a few hours. Think of it as part of your b-day present. Or early Christmas present. Whatever you want. Have fun!
Don't know too many bf's that would do this for their gf's
*Shrug Emoji* I know you love me *Kiss Emoji*
I do <3 you
I'll be there as soon as I can. If this fucking snow ever stops. Night Swift. Love you. Old lady. :P
Sighing, she stretched her legs out to the empty half of the enormous California King bed. Opening up her email, she selected the one from Cole. This was an ultra-exclusive service, personally recommended by a number of BFF's. Apparently, it was also used by Scarlett Johansson if the rumors were true. In the email were five attachments. Profiles. Reading through them for what seemed like the hundredth time that day, Taylor chewed her lower lip. Headshots. Full, impressive, body shots. Skillsets. Specializations. Kinks. Size. Her thumb hesitated over the link. A press of a button and she could have any one of them on her doorstep tomorrow. Smooth calves rubbing against unoccupied sheets, she clicked.
A selection menu popped up, all her options presented before her. Hovering over, an idea struck her. Something that would make her 30th birthday really something to remember. With a sly grin, she made her selection and plugged her phone in. Snuggling into her sheets, she closed her eyes chuckling. When she turned 20, she never ever would have considered doing something like this, but 10 years is a long time. She'd changed a lot. Loved and lost. And loved again. Thoughts and half-finished lyrics buzzed around like angry bees until they gradually quieted and she fell asleep.

Everyone left the next day. Kissing family and friends' goodbye, soon Taylor was all alone, tottering around her empty mansion. The cats entertained her for a while, but soon the day turned to afternoon as she set about the kitchen to begin the evening's preparations. A notification from her security detail and her doorbell rang at 6:16 PM.
