The night everything changed .
Selene’s Pov :
Alistair and I have been married for four years and in these four years I’ve learned to love my husband even more.I was happy to throw a surprise birthday for him on his 28th. What I didn’t know was that from this day on ,nothing would be the same again .
I stood behind my car as Jensen helped me offload things from the boot .
“Do you really think he’s going to like this wine ?” Jensen asked me as he held the bottle .
“Yes ,you know Alistair doesn’t like alcohol” I collected it from him.
“Just help me bring all of this inside”
I watched Jensen lift two boxes as he took them inside.
I intended on lifting one when my eyes fell on a stranger just by the other side of the road .
His grey colored hair made him stand out .
But the most uncanny thing about him were his eyes .
He had ridiculously intense red eyes . Eyes that birthed fear without even trying.
My eyes stayed glued on the man .
His leather jacket matched with his leather pants and boots. He had his hair tied up in a ponytail.
“Selene ,you coming ?!” I instantly broke our eye contact at the sound of Jensen's voice.
I was heading inside . I looked back again to catch a glimpse of this same man but he was gone .
It was like no one even walked that road .
The minute I was inside the house I saw Jensen gulping down a bottle of water.
“Did you see that man ?” I asked .
“What man ?” He replied with a question.
“The one with grey hair and red eyes”
He immediately spat out his water as he began laughing .
“You are watching a lot of movies Selene ,Grey hair and Red eyes ?”
“Yeah I saw him “
“ Yeah right and I saw the Easter bunny” he said again.
“I’m gay ,If a man like that were to walk on that road I would be the first to notice” he said .
I rolled my eyes at him .
“Oh please “ I said .
“I’m just saying ,there are no men like that in London ,even in the whole of England “
“Yeah ,you’re right …I was just seeing things “
“Alistair would be home soon ,so let’s start “
“Yeah I need to call some of his employees too”
I said .
I started to doubt what I had seen with my own eyes.
……
Hours passed and the decorations had already been put out.
The balloons were hung ,the sign was up . I had drinks and food placed on the kitchen counter .
“This place smells amazing, “ Jensen said .
I smiled .
The day had slowly turned dark and people had started to arrive. The guests walked in with gifts and I smiled as I welcomed all of them .
And just as I thought .
Casey walked in .
“Good evening “ she greeted .
My smile faded .
“Good evening Casey “ I forged a smile .
My eyes searched for Jensen in the crowd and I found him in a small circle of people . I walked to where he was .
“Hi …I’m so sorry ,can I just borrow him for a minute?” I said, pulling him out of the circle .
“What is it ?” He asked .
“Who invited Casey here ?”
“Casey’s here ?” He groaned .
“Yeah “
“Doesn’t she know how to give it a rest ,like she and Alistair happened a long time ago ,why can’t she just move on ?” He asked .
“It’s giving ‘obsessive ex’” he said .
Jensen and I were attending to everyone as the clock struck 11:55 .
And I immediately became worried .
“Shouldn’t Alistair be here by now ?” Jensen asked .
“Yeah” I said as I creased my brows .
The sound of a car horn echoed through the house and I immediately knew he was back .
His car lights flashed in the house and I turned to everyone .
“Everyone ,he’s here ,hide “ I said .
I turned off the lights as I walked outside to welcome my husband .
He closed the door to his car as he stood next to the flowers in a Black suit .
His blonde hair fell over his face and his blue eyes gleamed in the night .
A wave of pride flashed my chest as I stood there staring at him .
He turned to look at me as a smile crept up his lips .
“Hey baby, “ he said.
I ran to him as I embraced him .
“You smell so good, “ I told him .
He released a small chuckle as he brushed my hair behind my ear .
“I have all the energy in the world today,” he said .
He leaned in as he whispered in my ears :
“I’m going to show you what heaven feels like”
I felt his hot breath on my ears as he spoke.
I found myself giggling at his words as a smile crept up my lips .
“Are you blushing, dear wife ?” He asked .
He put his arms around my shoulders as we began walking inside .
The moment we stepped inside I turned on the lights and everyone jumped .
“SURPRISE !!!!!”
Everyone yelled as the confetti went dangling in the air.
A huge smile landed on his lips as he looked at me .
“No f*****g way” he said .
“You planned this ?” He asked .
“Well me and Jensen ,but yeah “
He pulled me in for a kiss .
“AWwwWwwwn”
The crowd said in unison.
“I love you “ he whispered .
“I love you too “ I whispered back at him .
The party was fun ,Alistair had gone upstairs to change ,the moment he walked down I noticed the change in his expression.
His brows were creased, his hands were on his head.
“ Happy birthday Mr cross,” his employee said .
“Thank you Casper, “ he replied .
“Are you okay ?” I asked .
“Yeah,” he replied .
I didn’t trust his words at this very moment .
Everyone was enjoying the food and drinks when I walked to the middle .
I held my glass cup in my hands as I clinked on it with a silver spoon .
Everyone turned to look at me .
“Now that I have your attention,I would like to give a toast to the celebrant “
“My hard working CEO , a man of many many talents ,My Alistair cross “
“I would like to thank him for everything,for the love ,the care ,the intention he puts behind everything he does “ I added.
My eyes found Casey in the crowd rolling her eyes at my words.
“Let us all raise a glass “
I watched the crowd raise their glass .
I looked beside me to find Alistair .
He slid his hands to mine as they remained intertwined.
“To Alistair ,my amazing husband”
“To Alistair!!!” the crowd yelled as they all took a sip of their drinks.
I looked at Alistair who was already sipping his drink.
I looked back at the crowd to find the same man from earlier .
He moved suspiciously in the crowd .
“What’re you doing in my house ?” I whispered to myself .
I put my glass down ,steadily following the man when I heard the sound of glass shatter behind me .
I turned to see Alistair on the floor .
