Most Uncommon Birthday Novels & Stories

"Tell me about it! Bernee Trading has been around for ten years. Mr. Sutton and Ms. Dotson have always managed it hands-on. Everyone knows that. And now some random person is claiming to be the owner? She's probably desperate for money." "Is she one of Mr. Sutton's side chicks? But those village rags… Mr. Sutton surely isn't so starved that he'd settle for just anything." Their gossip was loud enough for me to hear, and I felt a suffocating tightness in my chest. Gael noticed my discomfort and quickly led me to the window. Just then, the elevator doors opened again, and the crowd fell silent.

the young man said, causing her to freeze in place. Yesterday was her 18th birthday, yet not a single person had wished her a happy birthday. Not her father, who had been too busy entertaining guests and organizing the dinner party he had planned for her. Not Yaya Vangie, who had also been occupied with preparations for the event. Not even her two best friends, who had spent the whole day helping her escape. It seemed like she had completely forgotten to celebrate her own birthday amid the chaos of her plans. No cake, no gifts, and no greetings. That was why the gentle birthday wish from this complete stranger felt like a warm embrace to her heart.

The thought struck so hard I physically flinched. And standing alone in a penthouse that offered zero warmth or comfort, I realized something terrifying. For the first time since falling in love with Nashian Blackthorpe...I knew him as little as he knew me. He doesn’t even know it’s was my birthday on Saturday. February 29th. A date that only exists every four years. I’d mentioned it once, months ago, laughing about Livvy and her family wanting to throw me a party. He’d continued typing on his phone and changed the subject.

Hey, Y'all! May 6th is the most important day of my life. It's my birthday. After a certain age, celebrating this day or talking about it in public, didn't seem all that important to me. But this year... well, this year I felt the need to make an exception. The other day, a friend asked me what gift I wanted for my birthday...

I’ve never felt in love like this. I declared you Samuel Harris as my one and only man! December 15 was my and Samuel’s birthday. Yes, we had the same birthday date. A few days ago, Alex, Leo, and Mia have planned a surprise party for Samuel. Based on the information I got from Alex, since childhood, Samuel rarely celebrated birthdays, to be exact, since his mother died. Something similar was not much different from me. I stopped celebrating my birthday when I turned sixteen and two years later; they sold me to a brothel.

“People need cakes on their birthdays. It’s like an unwritten rule.” “I see,” he replied, simply. That only made me frown more. I studied his face, trying to understand why he was acting as though this concept was foreign to him. Like he’d never had a birthday cake before, or worse, like birthdays meant nothing to him at all. He hadn’t even told me today was his birthday. I only found out because Alec had called me earlier, casually mentioning it like it wasn’t a big deal. I had been shocked. Hades Sinclair had a birthday. The thought itself felt strange.

When she lived in the countryside, her aunt and uncle had celebrated her lunar birthday for her, so she naturally thought Elijah would celebrate his lunar birthday too. So, it turned out that city folk celebrated Gregorian birthdays. She bit her lip, a little uneasy. “It’s my husband’s birthday, but I didn’t prepare a single gift…” “No need to prepare gifts. He hasn’t celebrated his birthday since he was thirteen.” Jameson’s hands tightened on the steering wheel. “You’re definitely going to ask me why he doesn’t celebrate his birthday, am I right?” Sally nodded. She had just been about to ask. “I’ve lost to you.”

“Since you made it quite clear you don’t want a party or fancy birthday cake with the number twenty-five on top of it, Soriya and I made an executive decision we’d just go with the cupcake.” Chan sighed. They had to do it, didn’t they? These sisters of hers had to remind her today was her birthday. Of course, they’d never thought much about birthdays, since their mom had passed on, in fact. There was no joy without her, so they never did anything to celebrate when that time of year came around for them. “Twenty-five is a quarter of a century,” Dara said. “I think it’s special, so even if we’re not really celebrating, we are kind of celebrating.”

Maru neither showed any emotion outside but only wore a passive expression of a smile as he waited for his sister to say something. "I wish father were still here with us, brother." Uwyn barely whispered the words out. "I wish that too, Uwyn. But the Celebration of Birth is near. We'll get to see what happened very very soon." Maru said. This event would mark another year for commoners. The rich ones could afford day sheets that would mark the time properly for their own exact birthdays but this was not readily available for the poor people like them. Of course this was not anymore true to this day.

Lucy realized she was thinking in a different direction and looked at Marianne who was waiting for her to get what she really meant. “Oh, you meant by the opposite sex didn’t you?" Lucy raised an eyebrow as she corrected herself. "All I can say is never trust a man that is born on his birthday,” she smiled and turned to the stove to check on her baked potatoes.
