I have to say that even with all the stress currently happening in my life (of which there is in abundance) I really enjoyed my birthday.  I woke up Thursday with all the same old stress that has been plaguing me for the past month or so.  My phone kept going off so I finally shut off the ringer so I could sleep in.  When I finally got up about 2:00 p.m. I had thirty voicemails and texts along with way too many Facebook announcements about posts on my wall.

As I lay in bed scanning through all the notices I saw that I had missed a phone call from GwtS.  He had also sent me a text message.  I called him back and got his voicemail so I left a message.  I didn’t plan on seeing him because his birthday is the day before mine and I figured he’d be partying it up all weekend.  A short time later he started texting me and asked if I had any plans for the day.  I told him I was broke and that I would probably just rent a movie and watch it with my son later that evening, just then my phone rang, and he asked me if I wanted to come spend the night at his place.  He had to work and wouldn’t be off until 2 a.m.

After a little internal debate I decided I didn’t want to just hang out at home and really did want (very much) to spend my birthday with him.  I stopped by his work and grabbed his apartment key then headed to his place.  When he got home from work, he came in and gave me a big hug, kissed me and wished me happy birthday.  We went to his room undressed each other and had pretty amazing sex.  I laid there in his arms for a while as he kissed my face and we chatted. We finally went back to the living room and listened to music, talked and drank until the sun started coming up.  I told him I was going to hop in the shower and he asked if he could join me.  We made love again in the shower and then moved back to the bed.

I woke up the next the morning in his arms as he was rubbing between my legs.  He rolled me over on my side and entered my from behind, kissing my neck, shoulders and back.  After we came, we drifted back to sleep, him still inside me holding me in his arms.  I had an event to attend that evening so GwtS asked me if I would come back that night and stay the weekend.  I told him that I would and the duration of the weekend was just one long, amazing continuation of my first night at his place.

This weekend was perfect.  He worked all three evenings so I had his room to myself and caught up on the rest he was depriving me of once he got home.  I came home today one very happy, exhausted, sore girl. I miss being with him like that.  All I really want seems so simple to me.  It was a nice break from reality but the truth is we are still where we are.  I love him and I needed to feel loved.  He did that and he did it well.

I remember a time not too long ago when I said the same thing about the same man.  I could stay laying in his arms forever.  I could stay in that moment and never want anything else.  He gave me a perfect weekend and I love him for that.  I wish we could have that all the time.  I wish that he would let me take care of him and that he wanted to be there with me always.  It was truly one of the happiest experiences of my life.

I don’t need a lot to make me happy.  I just want to spend time with my loved ones.  I want to feel like no matter what could happen, I would be fine as long as I had this.  He wanted to make my birthday perfect and he did!  Best birthday ever.
