Her lips were soft and inviting, and Brian was drawn into the kiss.

He was too caught up at the moment to question why she was suddenly so passionate. ALL he wanted was to be with her.

Their breaths intertwined as he held the back of her head and kissed her passionately.

The night became gentle as they released all their love.

The next day, in Sanford's apartment, the phone on the bedside table kept ringing.

Maggie was awakened in Sanford's arms and opened her sleepy eyes.

“Sanford, your phone keeps ringing," she said.

Sanford patted her with his eyes closed and reached for his phone.

"It doesn't matter. They're just sending me birthday wishes."

Maggie stopped yawning and exclaimed, “Today is your birthday?"

"Yes, it is."

She smiled and said, “Happy Birthday!"

Sanford flipped through the messages on his phone and threw it aside with disappointment.

“That's it?"

Maggie sat up and said, “I'll cook for you."

Sanford chuckled and pulled her back onto his chest.

“Maggie, I think

I'll be even happier if you serve me in bed."

Maggie blushed and gently hit his strong chest.

"Stop it. Don't Let me sleep all day like yesterday, or Rosalynn will make fun of me.”

Why was he so energetic? She couldn't keep up.

“Don't worry. Rosalynn will understand." Sanford held her hand.
