"You got mail.... "
Shay smiled as she clicked to her mail and there it was, another reminder about Kenny's Birthday. December 6th.
She thought it was so funny how he had been leaving little reminders for over a week now. It was now December 5th and she was about to put her plan in motion. She knew he expected dinner, dancing, at least a dozen gifts and love making until dawn, but that was too easy. She liked to keep him guessing.
Shay picked up the phone and called his cell. She glanced at the clock making sure she was calling at just the right time. He should be in that meeting he had mentioned earlier. She was sure to get his voice mail as planned.
"Hi Babe ... it's me ... I wanted to give you a heads up about tomorrow night. I have to fly to Kansas early tomorrow and it will be late when I get back. I PROMISE to still have your birthday fun the next night. I PROMISE! Will see you in a few sweetie! "
Shay hung up the phone, grabbed her keys, her purse and headed out the door. She had some things to gather in town and be back home before Ken made it in from work.
Sitting back in his office chair, Ken began to listen to the messages on his phone ....."Hi Babe ... it's me ... I wanted to give you a heads up about tomorrow night. I have to fly to Kansas early tomorrow and it will be late when I get back. I PROMISE to still have your birthday fun the next night. I PROMISE! Will see you in a few sweetie! "
Ken felt a little bummed about the change in plans but he knew they would spend a night together just as she had promised. He continued to listen to a few more messages and another familiar voice came through...
"Hey Ken ... seen your lady in town. She told me your free tomorrow night, felt bad about running out on the birthday boy. I know I am not as sexy as Shay but...I could still take ya out for a few drinks. Meet me at Sal's around 5 tomorrow. Later man."
That was a call from Ken's friend George. He was right, he couldn't match his Shay but he was a good friend and Ken was all for meeting him for a few drinks. They needed to catch up on things.
Ken could smell the nice smells from the kitchen as he opened the front door. Shay had prepared him a dinner of roast, potatoes, carrots, hot rolls and a salad. They enjoyed their dinner and cuddled awhile on the sofa while watching Monday Night Football. They turned in early knowing that both had to start their days early the next morning.
Before Ken left for work, he came into the bathroom where Shay was doing her makeup. They kissed and she reminded him she would be late getting in and to keep in mind, they had a date on Wednesday for his birthday. As Ken turned to leave, Shay took him by the tie and pulled him to her again. He smiled at her as she tugged at his bottom lip. She sucked it between her lips. He gave her a growl and told her, " have a safe trip Baby, hurry home to me." As Shay heard the front door close and lock, she smiled at her reflection in the mirror. She knew she was about to blow his birthday candle completely out and he wouldn't even know what hit him.
As planned, Shay spent the day preparing for the surprise.
