The Best Man novel Chapter 86

Olivia's POV

His Birthday Pt I

"Happy birthday", I planted kisses all over his face and he slowly opened his eyes. A bright smile spreading on his lips as he pushed his body up and lifted me over his lap so that I straddled him and I leaned over to kiss him good morning.

"Happy birthday to me"

"Make a wish", I was holding a chocolate cupcake with a little candle on top, and he chucked at the sight of it

"I'm a little too old for this, don't you think?", he quirked up an eyebrow and I shook my head, pursuing him that he makes a wish until he finally agreed. He closed his eyes for a second before blowing out the candle and I clapped my hands a little.

"Yaayy", I cooed enthusiastically, and he playfully rolled his eyes at me as we both started licking the icing of the chocolate icing off our fingers and I let him take the first bite...since it was his birthday, but he was kind enough to share

"I got you a little something-something", I wiggled my eyebrows at him, and he howled excitedly as I crawled off him and bent over the edge of the bed to pull the paper bag with his gifts in under

"You really hid this under the bed? Really?", he started laughing as I handed over the paper bag to him

"It's one of the places I was guaranteed you wouldn't look in, so yeah", I gave a little shrug, and he made an unconvinced hum as he peeked in

"Okay there's a lot going on in here, not that I'm complaining though", he pulled out the first gift box and opened it. His face started beaming a little as he took what was inside out and held it across him.

"I've always wanted this", he seemed chuffed as he immediately threw it on. I got him a F.R.I.E.N.D.S pull over hoodie because it was his favorite sitcom on Netflix.

"Thank you so much baby", he pulled me in for a tight hug

"You're very much welcome"

"Just so you know though, I'm not going to let you steal this one"

"I can't promise you that", I laughed as he reached into the paper bag again. "It can go from being your hoodie to our hoodie real quick"

"Yeah I don't think so- what do we have here?", he pulled out the personalized leather watch box, and he smiled. "I'm assuming this is for my watches so that I stop misplacing them all over the place right?"

"Exactly"

"You're so thoughtful babe, thank you", he winked at me as he pulled out the last item, which was a customized wood card

"You're the best boyfriend in the world", he read out the crafted words and the smile on his face started getting infectious. "Okay this is going right here on the night stand, I'm going to need to be reminded just how great I am every morning"

"Yes I do. I also want the hugs and the kisses and the you have a nice day, I'm gon' miss you", he mimicked my voice childishly, and I laughed. "It's my birthday in case you forgot"

"How could I?", I wrapped my arms around his shoulders in a hug, and he leaned us backwards, holding tightly onto me as I gave him a gentle squeeze

"Have yourself a great day at work today, okay?", I said over his shoulder and I felt him nod his head as he bought us back to our balance. "Enjoy your day to the fullest"

"You have a great day yourself", he said as broke away from the hug, grabbing my face with one hand to kiss me fully on the lips

"What time I'm I picking you up tonight?"

"Around seven-ish"

"Okay", he pouted his bottom lip a little. "I would have loved to spend the day with only you today though"

"Aww I know sweetie, but a promise is a promise. You'll have me all to yourself tomorrow though"

"I like the sound of that", he opened the door for me. "I love you, okay?"

"I love you too, just as much"
