Shayne's POV

I was sleeping peacefully when I heard my phone ringing I sat up and grabbed the phone

Shayne:(Sleepily) Hello.?

Karen: Happy Birthday girlie.!!

(I smiled and blew a kiss into the phone.)

Shayne: Thank you honey

Karen: No problem So, what do you have up for today.? 

Shayne: I'll probably go out with Christy, maybe to a club or something like that

Karen: Well, I hope you have fun sweetie I love you

Shayne: Love you too I'll call you later

Karen: Alright Bye

Shayne: Bye

(I hung up the phone and sighed. It's official: I'm 27 today. I don't feel that old but whatever. I was about to lay down and see if I could get some more sleep when Christy busted in my room.)

Christy: Happy Birthday.!!!!

(She did a little dance and I laughed. I got out of the bed and walked over to her. I hugged her tightly.)

Shayne: Thank you Chris

Christy: So, I was thinking that maybe I could take you out for a birthday brunch

Shayne: Great.! Let me get dressed and I'll meet you downstairs

Christy: Alright

(She walked out of my room, closing the door behind her. I walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower. I stripped off my clothes and got in, washing myself.

20 minutes later, I got out and dried myself off. I put on a blue blouse, black pants, and blue heels. I dried my hair and left it curly. I walked downstairs and saw Christy waiting for me by the door.)

Christy: Aw, you look beautiful.!

Shayne:(Smiles) Thanks

(We walked out of the apartment and walked to my car. We got in, I started the car, and drove off. I drove for 5 minutes to downtown London. I pulled up on front of my favorite restaurant, Papoose, and we got out. We walked in and they seated us immediately, since it was still early and there weren't that many people there.)

Christy: So, how does it feel to be 27.?

Shayne: Not that different from 26

(She laughed and shook her head)

Christy: Have you gotten your yearly gift from Michael.?

(My smile immediately turned upside down when I heard his name.)

Shayne: No, I haven't Maybe he finally got the hint, huh.?

Christy: I don't know why you won't even talk to the man

Shayne: Look, I love him I always will but he cheated on me.!

Christy: 6 years ago.! Aren't you the one who's always telling me to leave stuff in the past.?

Shayne: We tried to have a relationship and it didn't work.! Now, can you please let it go.?

(She huffed and nodded. We ordered our food and had a really good lunch. An hour later, we got back in the car and I drove us back home. We walked up on the steps and saw a package sitting there.)

Christy:(Picks it up) Shay, it's for you

(She handed to me and we walked into the house. I went to my room and closed the door behind me. I kicked off my heels and sat on my bed.

I ripped the box open and looked inside. There was a miniature bobble head that was made to look like me. I smiled and read the card.)

Remember this.? This is one of my favorite memories of you I love you and Im still waiting on that day where we can "Try again", in your words I love you more and more everyday

- Michael AKA Applehead

(I smiled and set the note down. I looked at the bobble head and something told me to look at the bottom. I turned it upside down and opened the small compartment at the bottom. There was a white piece of paper and I pulled it out.)

I knew you would look at the bottom Happy Birthday baby girl

(I shook my head and pulled out the most beautiful pair of emerald earrings. I gasped. Michael knows how to spoil someone. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if I just called him.

Wait, Shayne what are you thinking.?! I put all of those thoughts out of my head and got up. I put the earrings in my jewelry box and the bobble head on my dresser.)

Shayne: I can't do it....... I shouldn't....... Should I.?

(I looked at the phone. I'm going to do it.! I am.! I walked over to the phone and picked it up. I dialed his office number because I figured that's where he was. It rung a couple of times before it was picked up.)

Michael: Hello.?

(I froze, hearing his voice did something to me. I sighed and cleared my throat.)

Shayne:(Whispers) Thank you

Michael:(Gasps) Shayne.?! Is that you.?!

(I pulled the phone away from my ear and looked at it. I can't do it.)

Michael: Shay.?! Please answer me baby girl

Shayne:(Puts phone back to her ear) I still love you

(I hung up the phone. It's amazing how after all these years, he still has a hold on me. I'll call him back........ eventually)
