Stella moved her hand away, slowly as she looked at Storm.
She licked her lips. "Oh, I was looking to see...well.. I need a waxing that is." She said, embarrassed.
Storm moved away from the wall. He nodded. He was so hot for her now.
" Today... I turn 21." She smiled.
He was planning a nice birthday dinner for Stella.
" Drake told me, I'm taking you to dinner tonight. We will be drinking, so plan ahead. I want you to drink plenty of water."
Her phone rang then.
" Happy birthday Stella, I miss you so much. I keep thinking of what we did last year on your birthday.
I'm missing your sweet lips on mine." Sam told her.
Stella smiled and sat down, legs crossed in front of her.
Storm went to the treadmill.
" Oh, you remember that? Me too. That was very.. special for me. I surely didn't want you to leave my bed that night." She said smiling.
Storm looked at her.
" It's just Sam." She told Storm.
He nodded and put his ear buds in. "Tell him hello for me please."
She yelled at him."Sam said good luck at your big race."
He nodded and gave her thumbs up.
" Sam, when can I see you again. I miss you so much?" she asked, remembering their love making.
" I'm swamped running this company by myself right now.
Sorry lover. I hope once Stewart passes away, Drake will come back to work.
When are you coming home?" He asked, hopeful.
"I will start traveling that way. I'm hoping next month." she said.
She ended the call telling Sam she really missed him.
Storm finished his run. He was all sweaty. Stella threw him a towel.
" You are coming to my race in Rome aren't you?" He asked her.
She sat up and nodded. " Ash invited me."
Storm put a few weights on the weight machine. He began to press the weights with his thick thighs.
Stella touched his leg. " Oh my goodness, you are hard Storm."
He growled at her. " Go get your shower then ask the house manager to get your waxing scheduled.
We have a few dresses being delivered for you to try on as well."
Stella nodded. She smiled.
" It's my birthday."
Drake called her as she was getting her waxing.
" Ouch! Damn that hurts!" she yelled.
Drake frowned. "Are you okay, is it the leg?" He worried.
"No, I'm getting a bikini wax. It hurts like hell, I gotta go."
He pictured her getting that waxing and sighed.
" Okay...bye..happy birthday, birthday girl." he said.
" Thank you, ouch...damn, thanks sorry!" she yelled as she hung up.
The woman waxing her offered her a henna tatoo. She nodded.
She placed a beautiful design on her hand and fingers. It fanned out onto her ring finger.
Stella saw the dresses come in then. The seamstress saw her tatoo and picked out a beautiful two piece white with red trim outfit to wear. The seamstress believed it was an engagement party.
Stella smiled and thanked the women. She wore her Tikka too.
Storm dressed in a white outfit that complimented the Indian style of dress for a special occasion. Two pieced cotton outfit.
The seamstress placed a red swipe of paint on his forhead. Signifying him as the groom.
He had no clue.
They rode to the restaurant in his sports car.
" You look very beautiful Stella." He said.
The restaurant saw the pair arrive. The hostess quickly changed the birthday cake into an engagement cake.
She had her assistant place two plastic rings on the top of the chocolate cake and trimmed it with white frosting.
Stella sat on the pillow at the low table. She sat with her leg out straight as it hurt to bend it.
Storm rubbed her leg for her. They brought out dish after dish.
Tandoori paneer, vegetables skewered and marinated to make Achaari Paneer Tikkas, Mexican Kebab, Paneer. Seekh Kebab usually made using minced meat, was made with mushrooms for the pair.
Stella had a nice sparkling wine. Storm poured some into her mouth, not letting the cup touch her lips, then he did the same.
Storm gave her a gift. A bracelet made of beads and woven threads, he tied it on her wrist.
She smiled at him. Then kissed his cheek.
Towards the end of the meal, the staff all gathered and brought a chocolate cake with two wedding rings on the top.
Storm looked puzzled, he smiled and cut the cake.
Everyone cheered as he fed a bite to Stella. He took the larger ring and placed it on her thumb, then licked the frosting off of it with his tongue.
They all clapped and cheered again.
Stella smiled. "Are we married now?" She giggled.
He said," I think we just got an engagement cake Stella. They think we are getting engaged."
She knelt before him. " I do, yes, yes... I will marry you Storm!" She said loudly. Everyone cheered.
Stella smiled up at Storm and placed her head on his shoulder.
He took her chin and nodded. He sealed it with a kiss.
They ate more cake and drank more wine. It was a beautiful engagement party.
" Storm this was lovely. The best birthday surprise ever."
He said," Well, we are now engaged according to India. I don't know how to tell Jerika about this." He smiled.
" Well best not tell anyone about this night Storm." She nodded.
She was fairly drunk.
On the ride home, Storm was wishing this was truly his engagement to the lonely, charming Stella.
She still wore that ring off the cake. She had it on her thumb.
When the evening came to an end, Storm walked outside to the garden pathway.
Stella was there. She was smiling and looking at the night sky.
He stopped right in his tracks seeing her neck as she looked up.
Storm came up behind her and hugged her to him. He kissed her neck.
She looked at her hand, holding up the henna tatoo.
He kissed her hand.
" You can take that ring off you know?" He smiled.
She shook her head. " No way, Storm, I want to be in your life, maybe someday a wife, your wife.
I don't know, it makes me feel good to wear it. You put it on me."
Storm felt very conflicted. He had never met a woman like Stella.
She was so easy to talk to. She didn't play games. She said how she felt and wasn't afraid to explore her sensual side.
Storm picked her up and took her to her bed. He removed her top, then her bra.
She watched him with intensity, she licked her lips.
He put two thumbs into her skirt and slowly removed it. She was left with her white silk underwear.
Storm knelt between her legs and took off those panties with his teeth as he stared into her wide eyes.
He licked her hip bones, then her freshly waxed bikini areas.
She cried out. " Storm, yes. More, please so much more."
He put his hands around her waist and entered her. She wrapped her legs around Storm and told him in a whisper.
" You make me so crazy, I needed this, and on my birthday."
She bit her lip and lifted her head as she looked at him enter her.
" Stella, I tried to hold off, keep away from you.
When we were at dinner I saw how happy you were with that engagement party.
I wanted it to be real, you and me. I wanted it"....
She nodded."Give it to me, don't hold back. Give yourself to me."
Storm did. He did not hold back.
"Stella taste my kisses. Can you tell me apart from Ash now?"
Stella kissed him, she kissed him again and again as she tasted his mouth, his tongue. He was definitely not Ash.
