Mi Princesa

Part Two - Chapter Fourteen: Happy 32nd Birthday

Vanessa took a deep breath as she ran her fingers through her hair, she was looking forward to spending the evening with her husband; it had been a long week and she knew that they deserved a break.

Fernando had spent the day with their children, he had wanted nothing more than to spend the day with them without interruptions since things were starting to get busy.

Fernando had just turned thirty-two and he knew that things were only going to get busier, Charlotte's wedding was next month and they had the coronation the month after; everything seemed to be building to a point that kept the royal couple busy.

Vanessa checked her outfit out in the mirror, she was a little nervous about going out to dinner with her husband; she couldn't remember the last time they had done anything like this especially since they had become the main royal couple of the family.

Fernando hadn't wanted much for his birthday, he had wanted to spend the day with his children and take his wife out to dinner in the evening; he wanted to keep things simple after everything that had happened.

"Are you nearly ready to go?" Fernando asked poking his head into the bedroom, he smiled at the sight of his wife in her deep pink bardot jersey top and black slim leg jeans paired with champagne heeled shoes.

Fernando stared at his wife, she looked beautiful and he was looking forward to spending the evening with her; he leant against the doorway, he couldn't remember the last time where they had gone out and just enjoyed themselves.

"I am ready when you are," Vanessa replied smiling, she turned to look at Fernando and wondered what he had planned for the evening; she was a little annoyed that he hadn't let her plan anything for his birthday but she knew that this was what he wanted.

Fernando smiled pulling out Vanessa's chair for her, he wanted to just enjoy an evening with his wife before everything got crazy again; he couldn't recall the last time where they had been able to enjoy an evening with her.

Fernando kissed his wife as he helped her sit down, he was going to ignore the fact that they were practically being watched by security; he just wanted a night with his wife which could make him feel normal for once.

"Nando... you didn't need to do all of this," Vanessa said shaking her head, she was impressed that he had managed to pull all of this off without her knowing; she still felt bad that he hadn't let her do anything big for his birthday.

Fernando smiled sitting down, he was just happy that they had this chance; he didn't want anything else but to spend the evening with his wife like a normal couple.

"I wanted to do something special," Fernando murmured with a shake of his head, he didn't care about presents or having parties; he just wanted to have dinner with his wife.

Fernando wasn't sure when they would get another chance like this, he knew what the next few months had planned for the two of them and he didn't think that there would be a chance anytime soon.

The couple had enough to deal with and they were also starting to think about having another baby, Fernando loved the idea of having another baby with his wife and Bojan's first birthday was quickly approaching.

Vanessa watched her husband, she had a feeling that there was something more that he had planned for tonight; she wanted nothing more than to ask but she doubted that he would tell her.

"Relax," Fernando teased wanting to enjoy their evening together, he wasn't going to rush tonight not when he had everything planned out so perfectly.

***

Vanessa carefully kicked off her heels as they stumbled into their bedroom, she was glad that security hadn't followed them into their home; she ran her fingers through Fernando's hair pleased with how dinner had gone.

Fernando grumbled trying to get his wife's top up, she kept stopping him and he was starting to get a little annoyed; Vanessa laughed softly and carefully pulled away from him with an innocent smile.

"I'll be right back," Vanessa whispered giving Fernando a kiss before she hurried away into the bathroom, she peeked back at him as she closed the bathroom door behind her before she locked the door.

Fernando groaned moving to remove his shoes and put Vanessa's heels away, he moved to undress knowing that they were going to make love; he sat back on the bed waiting for Vanessa to come out of the bathroom.

Fernando laid back on the bed in just his black boxers, he wondered what was going on in the bathroom; he didn't want to waste time and he hoped that Vanessa wasn't going to be long.

"Amor," Fernando called peeking at the clock, she was a very beautiful woman and he didn't want her spending hours getting ready; he loved her the way that she was, it was the reason that he loved her so much.

Fernando perked up when he heard the bathroom door open, his brown eyes widening when Vanessa stepped out dressed in a purple lace-trim slip; he swallowed thickly wondering when she had gotten that.

Vanessa grinned leaning against the door frame, she had wanted to do something special since it was his birthday and since he wouldn't let her take him to dinner or throw a party.

"Happy birthday," Vanessa said moving out of the bathroom and walking over to the bed, she had to admit that it had taken some special planning to get the lingerie delivered without the news breaking to the press or Fernando finding out.

"Nessa," Fernando whispered not sure what to say, he sat up allowing her to wrap her arms around his neck; he kissed her moving to rest his hands on her hips, the soft lace made him moan as Vanessa moved to straddle him.

Vanessa grinned, she hadn't been able to resist and she was sure it was a wonderful special treat for him; she wanted tonight to stand out since it was his birthday.

"You didn't have to do any of this," Fernando murmured shaking his head while Vanessa pushed him so that he was laying with his head on the pillow; she smiled down at him as she rested her hands on his toned chest.

Fernando rested his hands on her hips, he toyed with the bottom of her slip and pushed it up slightly; he had no idea what she had planned, he had thought that she wouldn't do anything if he insisted but this was a nice surprise.

"I did... you wouldn't let me do anything else," Vanessa replied moving to kiss him, she couldn't help but be relieved that things were working out so well for them; she wanted them to have a good night before they had too much to do.

Fernando wrapped his arms around Vanessa and held her close, he loved her so much and he couldn't help but think about how lucky he was to have a wife like her.

"I love you," Fernando whispered holding on to Vanessa, he wanted nothing more than to relax for a while but that wasn't going to happen so that night would just have to do.

Vanessa looked down at Fernando, she was hoping that they would have a night that they would both remember without any interruptions or distractions.
