She took a deep breath and sighed as she started the end of day routine. It had felt like a very long day.
It was her birthday. In her family birthdays were always the most important day of the year. The one day when the world does revolve around that one person and they are made to feel special and spoilt rotten. When she was a young girl her Dad had called it her 'princess day'.
She was now 32 and not feeling much like a princess. She had spent all day at work that in its self made her feel blue. Her parents were on holiday so she wasn't going to be her Dads princess today.
She had received a barrage of text messages and phone calls from her friends but hadn't heard anything from him. She knew he had a busy life and was working but how long does it take to send a text right?
Feeling sorry for herself she shut the shop door and let out a groan of exhaustion. Leaning back against the wall she rubbed her face to try and stop herself from crying.
Turning the lights off in her shop she looked her phone again. No messages. She switched it off. This evening was just going to be a take away and a bottle of wine with no interruptions.
As she started cashing up the days takings in her office she could hear the faint wine of bagpipes. Looking up she couldn't believe anyone would start busking up the street now. Shaking her head she tried to ignore it as it got louder. "Oh for fucks sake!" she exclaimed out loud.
There was a knock at her shop door. She stopped what she was doing and shouted, "Go away I'm closed". There was another knock, louder this time. She threw the money on the desk and stormed down the stairs. "I'm closed" she shouted again.
Stopping dead in her tracks she saw a familiar male shape outside. A smile spread across her face as she ran to open the door.
He was stood there in full traditional Scottish dress, the bagpipe music blaring from a small stereo at his feet, a bunch of flowers in his hand a smile on his face.
"Happy birthday!" he said as he leant down to kiss her. She threw her arms around him and kissed him back, hard.
When she finally let go of him she let him in and shut the door behind him. He did a twirl. "Oh my!" she exclaimed with excitement in her voice and a familiar feeling in her knickers. With a quick flick of his kilt he flashed his very pert, very naked bum to her to prove he was working the traditional Scottish look.
Without saying anything he lifted her up by her waist and sat her on the counter. He leaned in to kiss her again, passionately. Resting his big strong hands on her thighs he gently started to push her skirt up. She wrapped her arms around him. When he reached her black lacy knickers he lifted her with one arm and removed them with the other. Releasing him from her embrace he knelt on the floor in front of her, dropped her knickers, looked up at her and smiled before softly planting little kisses on the inside of her legs.
