She sits up to take the glass of water from me, sipping it slowly.
“I’m okay; it’s already passed. You’re probably right and it was just the sun.”
I eye her to make sure she’s telling me the truth, and when she gets settled into the bed, I go back to the kitchen to finish dinner.
I hope that she’s not sick for the rest of the week. I want to make this trip a memorable one for her, and I would hate for her to be sick on her birthday.
I wake up early the next morning. It’s the first birthday that I’ve been able to celebrate with Tanya in nine years; I want to make sure it’s the best one yet. I sneak out of bed, making sure not to wake her and stare at her bare back as I get dressed. I’m tempted to crawl back in bed and wake her up, but I have phone calls to make before we can start the day.
I have the entire day planned, I’m taking her snorkeling at the Banana Reef where we can see beautiful coral reefs and all kinds of fish. We are going to go back to where we first landed in North Malé Atoll to do some sightseeing and visit the shops. Then, I’m taking her out to the nicest restaurant we can find and buying her a nice dinner, before we come back here and spend the night devouring each other.
I can tell that even while being on this beautiful island surrounded by blue waters and white sands, she is still holding back. I don’t blame her, everything has been moving rather fast since that first day, but I don’t want her to doubt anything about me, about us. She is meant to be with me, and I’m going to spend the rest of my life proving that to her.
I finish making phone calls to set up times for us to be at all of our destinations and making sure we have a way to get to each of them before quietly going back into the room to wake up my sleeping beauty. She’s still sleeping peacefully but has now turned on to her back, her breasts on full display for my eyes.
Sitting down on the edge of the bed, I place my hands on either side of her torso and lean down to whisper in her ear.
“Time to get up, birthday girl. I have a big day planned for you.”
She opens her beautiful green eyes and blinks up at me sleepily. She smiles, and I want to cancel all the plans I just made and stay in bed with her all day, worshipping her body.
But I don’t.
“Come on, let’s go celebrate your birthday together.”
I’m going to make this the best birthday for her. I can’t wait to see her reactions to everything.

TANYA
Waking up with Chandler’s warm body over mine and his whispered words in my ear is not a bad way to wake up. I don’t register what he says at first, I just know I heard his voice in my dream. I turn my head to face him and stretch my arms up over my head.
“Good morning,”
He smiles at me, and as his eyes trace down my face and to the rest of my body, it occurs to me that I can feel the cool air on my chest. I look down and see that I am unknowingly putting on a show for him.
“Geez!”
I yank the blanket up and cover myself, and Chandler bursts into laughter.
“Sweetheart, I’ve seen every part of your body. Why are you embarrassed?”
I shove him back so I can sit up, the blanket tucked tightly under my arms.
“I’m not embarrassed you are seeing me; I just didn’t realize the blanket was down. I pretty much shoved them in your face. It’s a bit early for that.”
He shakes his head at me still chuckling before leaning in and kissing me lightly on the lips.
“Happy birthday.”
It’s an odd feeling. Just a short time ago Ms. Poppy was saying this same thing to me, and at the time I had no interest in celebrating when I wasn’t sure when my actual birthday was. Now here I am, in bed with the father of my child on a beautiful island about to get ready to spend my actual birthday with him.
“Come on; I have a full day planned for us.”
He kisses me again and gets up from the bed, tossing me one of the robes that the villa provides. I’m curious about what he could have planned and a little excited to see what we are going to do today.
I get out of bed and slip on the robe. “What do I need to wear for the day?”
