Gray's POV Mark and I fell asleep on the sofa, but he wasn't with me when I woke up. Instead, he surprised me with pancakes this morning. We ate together. "Happy birthday." he said and placed a chaste kiss onto my lips. I was happy this morning, I was full of smiles. Most of my life, I would just be at home and no one would be around on my birthday. My birthday tradition, for myself every year would be to eat and spend the rest of the day watching movies because I love movies when I have got nothing else to do. When I was in college, I would spend my birthday just studying and finishing tasks. My dad wasn't home most of the time around my birthday, and it kind of makes sense to me now. He most probably avoided my birthday by not coming home. But I do remember when Mark used to take care
