Happy Birthday Nick Novels & Stories

The slap mark on his face was a vibrant red, and blood seeped out from the corner of his lips. However, he was not the least bit aware of it. There was a dull pain in his chest. He said, “Happy birthday, Nicole.” At that moment, it felt like he had truly lost the most important thing to him...

Her birthday was last Friday, and her parents asked her to leave school earlier than usual if possible because they had prepared a surprise birthday event for her. It was Wednesday when she last saw Mike, and today was already Monday. She was somehow excited to tell him about her parents’ birthday gift for her, so she was thinking about having dinner with Mike, even if it was going to be as simple as having hamburgers which she had asked Fadz Ling to send someone to buy for everyone in her security team who would fancy eating what she was going to share with Mike. “Nicky!” Mike gleefully greeted back and stepped out of the water by jumping off on the side of the pool with only a swimming tru

He trusted her deeply. Hearing her soft voice, the old man chuckled. “Evelyn, I told you I had a gift for you. Come by tomorrow. I want to give it to you myself.” “Thank you.” After he hung up, Evelyn lowered her phone. A knock sounded at the master bedroom door. Liam entered with a cup of warm milk and placed it beside her. “Mrs. Drake, it’s getting late. You should rest.” She took a sip and suddenly remembered something. “Liam, I saw Nick’s birthdate on our marriage certificate. His birthday is this weekend, January tenth, right?”

Perhaps he intentionally let it ring? "Hello, Ethan?" His voice came through. From his tone, I could tell he might have been sleeping before I called. I pressed my lips in a thin line, not feeling a thread of guilt. "Good morning. Do you want to attend my birthday party tonight?" While at it. I decided to brag a little. "Vesper is organizing a birthday party for me tonight. It's just the few of us." Nick was silent. I raised a brow. Too excited? "Yes, I will." I sneered. "Okay. Bye."

“He won’t come. He’s too important. You’re wasting stamps.” Sofia pouted. “He will.” I smoothed the paper. Nicholas’s name sat there like a wound. “Sweetheart, why invite him?” “Because it’s our birthday,” she said simply. “And because he looked sad last time.” That last sentence punched the air from my lungs. “Sad?” She nodded, braids bouncing. “When he gave me the daisy. He looked like he wanted to smile but forgot how.” I folded the card closed, thumb on the rainbow.

Arian De' Argent, the hot heir, spared her a look before facing elsewhere. "Happy birthday." Natalia smiled and gave her a delicately wrapped box. "Thanks." She smiled again. "Enjoy the party! Let me know if you need anything. You're VIP." She winked playfully making Natalia chuckle. The duo later found the rest amidst the madness. It was fun hanging together.. "I can't remember the last time I had this much to drink!" Nicky slurred and leaned on Jeffrey. "Me too." Elva agreed and leaned on the table. They were outside by the pool where the music was bearable...a bit.

Charles quickly ended the call when he saw me. He looked flustered and said, "Rosie, I was just checking on Avery's dog." I tilted my head slightly and replied, "There's nothing to misunderstand." "You don't mind?" Charles asked. "There's nothing to mind," I replied. After a pause, Charles said, "You're coming with me to a birthday party tonight." Since I was not feeling well, I wanted to decline. "I'm not sure I can make it."

The whole time they chatted about one thing or the other. Once we were inside, I took the little baby from him while he hugged Mama, Caleb, Evans, Sienna and Aiden and got tons of wishes and blessings. Kia wrapped her little arms around her Nicky uncle and the smile he gave to her was priceless, "Happiest Birthday Nicky Uncle. Kia loves you." He stared down at her and I swear I could see the tears in his eyes. He mumbled something to her and kissed her forehead gently. "Nico is happy," Mama whispered to me amidst all the noises and cheering. I glanced at Nick who at the same time looked at me. He gave me a breathtaking smile mouthing a thank you.

I’d pushed it so far back into the depths of my mind that I even forgot the day every year, all I knew was that I was a year older once a year washed by. I didn’t even realize that today was my birthday, and I was so touched that Nick had found out about it somehow and he was celebrating it for me in such a grand way. Now, the makeover made absolute sense and I found myself tearing up as I finally looked away from the cake and met his gaze. He smiled sweetly at me and waved the staffs away then and we were all alone in the serene space where we were seated. “Blow out your candle, sweetheart,” he nodded towards the cake and I realized that the candle was burning out pretty quickly.

I swear the older we get, the younger he claims to be. I swear the vain man gets a year younger with every tube of the overpriced cosmetics he orders. Considering I’m pushing forty, and he was older than me when we met, nothing about him being ‘twenty-six’ tracks. Nicky also doesn’t have the excuse of not knowing his birthday, like I do. Even if Nicky could remember his past, the two of us made up as many birthdays as we did celebration days based on whatever astrology reading fit us that week. That or whatever shiny thing he wanted as a present.
