Author Notes: With my birthday in a couple of days (July 21), I've decided to do a story to honor the occasion. Everyone in this story is over the age of 18. No plagiarism or infringement is intended.
Characters:
Sean Jackson (age 32), African American, quiet, shy, can have a bit of a short fuse when irritated, otherwise smart and caring.
Marisa Leipan (age 30), Latina/Asian mixed, 36D-25-35, multiple tattoos in Spanish and Japanese, caring, has crush on Sean but scared to tell him.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Great, the alarm pick a fine time to go off... damn. I reached for my phone and flipped it over to silence that irritating sound. Another day, another dollar as one of my friends always say.
I'm Sean Jackson and today's my 32nd birthday. Here I am getting up at 3:45 in the morning to get ready for work. I'm an opener at a local fast food chain which can be a pain to work at when you don't have the right help.
But enough about that for now cause I'm sure you either know what I'm talking about or don't want to hear about it.
While there I received a text from my best friend Marisa. I swiped across the screen and the message appeared saying
"Happy birthday Sean. Stop by here when you leave that work . ;-) "
She ended her text a wink. I'm wondering right now that if she has something planned. I guess that I'll find out once I get there. I've always known Marisa to be a bit of a flirt from the numerous times she's teased me. I care for her dearly but sometimes she can over do it.
Other than that, work was a usual pain with a couple of people yelling and/or screwing up orders. By the time breakfast ended, I quickly wrapped and put away the breakfast food and taken the utensils to the kitchen area.
While in the middle of it, my phone buzzed and I reached for a roll of paper towels and dried my hands quickly. After retrieving my phone, I checked it and received another message from Marisa.
This one said, "A little early birthday present." with another wink at the end of it. It turned out to be a picture text. I scrolled down to see her bedroom with different bottles filled with different liquids in them, sitting on her bed.
Now I'm thinking "What in the world Marisa has planned?" I can only shake my head as I deposit my phone back in my pocket. I guess I'll find out once I get there. After another 15 minutes of wiping down, sweeping, and mopping, I finally made my way to the register to clock out after announcing to my friends that I'd see them tomorrow morning.
I grabbed a large glass, filled it with water, covered it, grabbed a straw and made my way out the door for a long 30 minute walk to Marisa's place. I looked up at the sky and saw a mix of sun and clouds with more clouds than clear sky. I thought to myself that it were going to rain later if more clouds came but dismissed it while pulled my phone out of my pocket.
