Amanda wrapped her arm around Niels' waist, beneath rippling abs. Kobe, they'd been together for about 3 decades and he was sexier than ever. “So how does it feel to be the big 3-0?” she asked him.
He laughed softly. “Not any different than it did hours ago when I was still 29,” he said. He let his fingers run through her hair. Somehow this birthday was weighing on her mind even more than it weight on his. She just kept thinking… he’d been turning eleven years old when they met. Now he was turning 30. How did time fly so quickly? “Well I’ll love you no matter how old you get,” she teased. “You better,” said Niels. He tilted her face to his. “But didn’t I just prove that I’m as young as ever?” He offered her a goofy grin, making her laugh. But it wasn’t enough for him because soon she was writhing and giggling as his fingers tickled her until she was breathless. “Baby--stop,” she managed to bring out through her laughter. “You’ll make me wake the kids.” She grinned. Niels glanced towards the window. The sun was already shining through the blinds. It was morning. Amanda followed his gaze. Had they really been awake that long? Holy Kobe… The rest of the day would probably be a nightmare, with the kids and all. “We should try to get some rest, at least,” Amanda suggested. “Yeah we--” Before Niels could even finish his sentence, a loud wail pierced the calm atmosphere. Both Niels and Amanda turned towards the source: the baby monitor. Eliana was awake. Amanda groaned and covered her face. When she uncovered her face and opened her eyes again, Niels appeared to be fast asleep. She laughed and nudged him. “It’s your birthday. You sleep, I’ll go feed the princess,” she told him. She pressed a kiss to his cheek and then on the way out of the door, she threw on a robe. “Happy birthday, old man,” she whispered playfully before dashing off again.
