“But Raymond… tonight is our fifth year anniversary.”
Tavia said over the phone whiling putting frosting on the cake she just prepared.
“I know. I’m so sorry but I can’t leave while our whole team is working so hard. We have to present the proposal tomorrow. Please understand…”
“Well… I can’t say anything with everyone depending on you.” Tavia sighs.
“I know you will understand. You are the best wife a man can have. I love you, honey. I promise to make it up to you tomorrow.” He kisses her over the phone and hang up.
Someone knock on the door and a moment later, his secretary come in.
“Mr. Lam, all your appointments for the afternoon are rescheduled.”
“Thanks, Nancy. And, tell everyone that they can go home earlier today. After all the time we prepared for the presentation, everyone deserves a break.”
“Thank you, sir.”
After Nancy left, Raymond starts packing his files and grabs his jacket.
He smiles thinking about her surprise face when he appears in front of her after the lie he told her.

Raymond drives to a nice building. He gets out of his car, and enters the building. The security guard greets him with a familiarity as he takes the elevator up to the ninth floor. Holding onto a bunch of pink roses and a bottle of champagne, it takes him longer than usual to open the door.
Quietly he enters the apartment, settles the roses and champagne on the table. Grabbing a single rose, he walks over to the bedroom and peek inside. He can hear the water running. With a devilish smile, he steps next to the door and wait for his little prey to come out. Right into his trap.
The water stop running and Raymond become fully alert. He watches as a woman in only a towel walk out barefoot with long wet hair covering her shoulders.
Raymond smiles wondering should he let her go unnoticed of his presence or should he get her to notice him. Deciding the latter is much more satisfying, Raymond walks up to her and places the single rose in front of her. She lets out a little scream before he spins her around and kisses her passionately and mindlessly.
Finally, letting her go. Raymond watches her slowly open her eyes but it is still daze from the kiss. She smiles sweetly up at him.
“Ray?….”
Raymond smiles and kisses her one more time when he pulls apart, his hands are on her face.
“Happy Birthday, Linda.”
(*V*)
Linda smiles and snug deeper into the hollow of Raymond’s shoulder.
“You lied to me.”
Raymond laughs at her frown and touch her nose.
“Yes. But if I didn’t, you wouldn’t be surprise.”
Linda hits him playfully but continue to snug deeper into him. Laying on the sofa, their body is intertwine and Linda never felt more relax and happy.
“I really thought you can’t celebrate my birthday with me.” She said sadly.
Raymond gently lifts her chin up to him. “I won’t miss it for the world.”
“Oh, Ray…” She embraces him.
Raymond smiles and brings her arms around her. His lips brushes her temples when he starts kissing her.
Linda loves it when Raymond kisses her, his mouth is so hot and gentle but passionate and demanding at the same time. Sometimes she thoughts she can be lost there forever. Her arms automatically goes around his neck as she touches his shoulders, arms and back. While his arms explore her body. His hands are so gently and teasing that Linda giggles when he tickles her at the waist. When she tries to pull away, he wraps her tighter around him.
But everything died when Linda feels Raymond’s hand inside her shirt while the other one is moving up her leg. Linda’s body stiffen up instantly but she didn’t pull away.
Feeling the change, Raymond slowly pull away but his eyes stay on her face.
She looks down in guilt and helplessness.
“I won’t hurt you, Linda.” He said angrily.
Linda quickly look up. “I know, Ray, I know you will never hurt me but…”
Angrily, Raymond stands up and goes to get pour himself a glass of champagne.
“I’m sorry.” Linda said softly.
Raymond turns to her and sighs. He walks back to her and settle beside her. His palm against the side of face as he lifts her face up to him. He sighs deeper when he saw the threat of tears in her eyes.
“I don’t mean to pressure you, Linda. I just… I love you so damn much and you are so tempting.”
Linda touches his hand on her face. “I know. I love you, too. But you know I won’t sleep with you until we are married.”
“Why do you care so much about that damn paper anyway? I told you I love you. I show you how much I love you for a year now.” Angry again, he swallows the glass full of champagne.
Linda sighs.
They have this argument a thousand times. It’s not that Linda don’t trust him, its just that she is bought up in a strictly Catholic school and she believed to save herself till marriage. She is a strong believer but lately she can’t help but think what is she waiting for? She loves this man so much she will give him anything. But still… if he can show her that they have a future together or even hint about marrying her in the future, she will give herself freely to him.
Watching Raymond emptying another glass, Linda can’t help but feel guilty.
Slowly she moves closer to him and lay down on his shoulder from behind him while her arms goes around him.
“I love you, Ray. I love you so much. It scares me sometime but…” She closes her eyes and make the decision.
“But if you really want to… I’m yours.” She whispers so softly.
Raymond thought he imagine it. He quickly turn around to Linda.
“You sure?”
Linda nods.
Raymond stares at her to make sure he didn’t misunderstand. He watches as Linda’s hand lay on his chest. He continues to stare at her face as she helps him get rid of his shirt. Linda’s hands was shaking so badly when she reaches for his belt.
Linda takes a deep breathe and prepare to loosen his belt when his hand cover and bring it to his lips.
“I love you Linda. And if it means to wait for another year or the years after. I will.”
“Oh Ray…” Linda bursts into tears and throw herself into his arms.
“Hush…baby…it’s your birthday. I want you to be happy.”
Linda nods.
She is happy.
Her tears are tears of joy.
