Stunned

POV 

Stephanie 

I grab my tits pushing them to the center to give myself a bustier appearance. This dress is so tight, I can barely breathe. Whatever it's my fucking birthday and I don't need to breathe, I need to be a sexy son of a bitch. I went with a Barbie doll look tonight. My hair is gelled back in a high pony, bright makeup, bright pink lipstick, and a bright pink full vinyl mini dress. I look like the definition of a dumb blonde, just the look I'm trying to achieve I guess, doesn't mean I am one. 

My girls look on freaking fire tonight, especially Millie, I love it when she gets all dressed up. She's gorgeous but rarely gets herself done up. Lucky son of a bitch is naturally beautiful, she'd never admit that though, she's too modest. 

"What?" Millie asks me nervously as we're standing in the elevator on our way down to the club. 

I bump my hip with hers, "just admiring the beauty of my best friend." 

"Oh shut up," she says rolling her eyes. 

The five of us get out of the elevator and greet Stone at the door, I swear he grows overnight. The name Stone is so fitting for him, he's a literal boulder of a man. 

He allows us in and I almost fall to my knees by dozens and dozens of people screaming "Surprise!" To me. 

Holy Mother of Jesus Christ! 

I look around stunned, all of this…was, for me?

Obviously, tears are streaming down my face and I spot Jul walking towards me with the sexiest effin smile. He's got that James Franco smile that creates a couple of lines on the outermost edges of his lips. It literally makes me want to melt like an ice cream on a hot day. 

"Babe! Happy birthday!" He says over the crowd of people and sticking his tongue down my throat, yup world, this is my man. 

As soon as he pulls away Millie and Mia are hugging me on each side practically suffocating making me lose even more oxygen than I already am. 

"Ugh, you guys! This was all you wasn't it?" I ask over the now blaring music. 

They nod taking credit. 

"This is the best present I could've ever received, not the party, but you girls. You girls are the gift of my life." I say crying like a freaking baby again. Ugh stop Stephanie, don't ruin your Barbie makeup!

"Shots!" Jul screams out to everyone and the room comes to life cheering at his suggestion. 

A huge smile comes across my face, all of this for me…I know many others would think otherwise but there are a lot of times I feel blended in, in this house. Tonight though, I'm contrasted against everyone else, tonight is my night and my usual low saturation has now become high and vibrant. 

Julian takes my hand, guiding me through people that are wishing me a happy birthday and until we make it to the crowded bar. 

"Anything my lady wants, keep 'em coming," he says to the bartender. Jul emits just as much power as his best friend wherever he goes and when he speaks the world obeys. 

How did I get so lucky to be called this man's lady? 

"Jul?" I ask looking up to the back of his dark-haired head.

He turns around, "Yeah babe?" 

"Can you come with me? We'll drink in a minute." I say taking ahold of his deeply tattooed hand and leading him out of the club. 

"What's up, birthday girl?" He asks me curiously. 

"I want my birthday present," I say confidently. 

"I was going to give it to you later, it's upstairs, there's a whole party on the other side of the door for you," he says pointing to the ceiling to indicate where a gift may lie. 

I shake my head, "fuck the party, I want you and I want you..right now." 

He gives me his best sexy smirk, "Yeah fuck the party, let's get you in your birthday suit babe."

He tugs at my hand and leads the way to the elevator. As soon as we get in and the doors close he picks me up, wrapping my legs around his waist and then gripping my ass with his hands. We kiss each other fiercely like it's the first time we've ever made physical pent-up contact. The elevator doors open to the third floor and without breaking any contact he walks us over to our place, reaches inside his pocket, and inserts the key card. As soon as he opens the door we waste no time ripping off clothing. 

"It's a fucking mess in here," he says into my mouth while walking us to our bed. 

"Stop talking," I say breathlessly, "you're so much hotter when you don't talk." 

I climb on top of him and glide my tongue over the tattoos on his neck, working my way to his muscular shoulder and biting down just enough for him to have a reaction by gripping my ass harder. 

He swiftly turns us so that I'm now underneath him, "This is your day babe, not mine." 

His large toned body is now above me, "hold on, don't move," he says descending from my wanting body. 

I look over to him as he rummages through his closet reaching for something on the highest shelf. He returns with a cheesy birthday bag with balloons printed all over it. Honestly, coming from such a badass guy it's pretty comical and adorable to see it. Jul is actually a pretty big teddy bear at heart, not many would know that though. 

He hands over the bag, "Happy birthday babe." 

I open it up and feel the medium-sized velvet box before I even see it. I pull it out, a maroon velvet box. 

"Open it," Julian says with a godly smile again. 

I separate the box, oh my god, it's a diamond necklace. I look up at him absolutely stunned. 

He rubs the back of his neck almost looking nervous, "It's a..um..Tiffany necklace..flawless 2-carat diamond." 

I'm seriously floored, this must've cost a fortune. "Julian…I can't take this, it's too much, you probably spent a ridiculous amount on this." 

"Babe, I wanted to do this for you, I love you," he says leaning in to kiss me.

"I love you too Jul," I say wrapping my arms around him, deepening the kiss. 

With only my new necklace on and nothing else, Julian gives me the birthday  I've wanted all along, him, fucking me until I nearly forget my own name.
