Not so Special Day

It's my birthday today so as always you get an imagine about someone who hates their birthday. I have a few more coming today as like my little bday gift to you guys so keep an eye out 💕
————————————————————————

I've never understood the need to celebrate ones own birthday. Being born is not my own accomplishment, it's something I never wanted. I had zero choice in the matter. If it was to be celebrated at all, it should be all about the mother, no? I know a lot of people love their birthday and are happy to be the centre of attention but I'm not. Every time my birthday comes around I feel like shit. People tend to find that strange and honestly I don't know why. It's just always been this way. I don't have good memories of my birthday. Not even from when I was little. And so each year, I choose not to celebrate my birthday. I don't do parties. Gifts. Cake. None of it. It's that time of year once again though.

I lay in bed draped in the sheets. My girlfriend's arms wrapped around my waist. I could feel her breathing against me. Everything was calm. Soft lips pressed against my neck. "Happy Birthday, Baby."

I automatically sighed. "Thank you."

"I got you something." She said in but a whisper. Either to match the mood or because she knew my rules. I had repeatedly told her.

"Demi, I thought we agreed on no gifts."

She gently squeezed me. "I never agreed. You told me no gifts and I just ignored you."

Letting go of me entirely, she sat up and leaned over to the cabinet that rested beside the bed. Pulling open the top draw. I sat up too, watching what she was doing which an arched brow. Returning her attention to me, she kneeled on the bed, a smile tugging at her lips.
Demi held a small gift box out for me. It was wrapped in Tiffany blue and tied with a white bow. "I know you hate today but I still want you to feel special, okay? It's just something small."

Taking the present in my hand, I frowned. The only thing I could think of that she could get me in such a small box is jewellery. Probably a ring. Alarms went off in my brain as I thought of demi buying me a ring. Maybe it wasn't a big deal like she said but what if it was? What if this was an engagement ring? "I've got to get ready."

I threw the duvet off and got up, placing the unopened present off to the side. My eyes remain on my girlfriend as I headed towards to bathroom. She seemed a little deflated. Was that because I hadn't opened the present? I took a long, hot shower. Letting my mind wonder as the water trailed over my skin. I was going to go to work today like any other day and completely forget about the present. Today was going to be treated like any other day. It was sweet of Demi to get me something but I told her no gifts for a reason. And I was kind of annoyed about that. I don't want to celebrate my birth but I don't think she understands that. When her birthday comes around everyone makes a big fuss and I guess she just wants me to feel the same. But its different when it comes to me. It didn't matter what anyone did I almost always felt the same. Cleaning myself off, I vacated the shower to go get ready for the day. Demi passed me along the way, flashing a smile before disappearing off into the bathroom. As I was getting dressed I couldn't help but keeping looking back to the gift. I was a little curious to open it. But it almost felt like betraying myself. I noticed demi renter the room just as I finished buttoning my shirt, I gave her a peck on the cheek before heading off to work.

Compared to Demi's my job is nothing more that a desk job. But I liked it because it was quiet. Today, however, it felt long and draining. Like it was never going to end. Add that to the list of why today was the worst. The upside was that nobody made a fuss. Nobody seemed to care that I was born today and I was grateful for that. But I couldn't help but think of Demi. I was worried she was planning something big. She'd already ignored my no gift rule so who knows. I stayed as late as I could but I was going to have to go home to her soon. Pulling in the driveway, I noticed the whole house was still dark. Maybe she wasn't home yet? I turned off the car and got out, walking cautiously to the front door. Pushing it open, expecting a something but nothing happened. Turning on the lights, It was empty.
