His Birthday

"What kind of person do you think I am?"  Aryana looked hurt.  "Even if you are just an ordinary employee I will still accept you.  Did you know that I have had a crush on you ever since I turned thirteen?"

Erik looked at her in surprise.

"Or maybe I had started liking you when you stayed with me during that storm when I was five."  She laughed lightly.

  Erik gave her a peck on the forehead.  Aryana stood from his lap and brought the dishes to the sink.

"Go out so I can finish cleaning up faster." 

Erik chuckled.  "I'll wash the dishes.  You clean up the table so we can finish early and go to bed early."

Erik has washed the dishes several times so he was already an expert in this task.  Erik has never been happy doing the dishes.  He was contented with his life.  He has a beautiful wife that turned the once, dreary penthouse into a beautiful home.

The following day, Aryana cornered Marlon at the office.
