Forgotten

All Ellen POV

I stir in bed reaching across with my hand as my head is still buried on the pillow under the warm covers. I pat the bed trying to find Portia but to my surprise it's empty. It's the first time since we got together I wake up alone on my birthday.

A smile forms on my face as I think that knowing how cute she is maybe she's in the kitchen trying to surprise me with breakfast when there's no need to and she knows that.

My smile falls when I finally decide to get up and find a note on her nightstand saying she's sorry but she got called for an important meeting with her publicist. I was really hoping to spend all day with her alone but seems like now I've got to change my plans.

I could care less if my hair was a mess or if I was still in my pajamas in the late morning. I was sad Portia didn't even write a ‘happy birthday’ on the note, it's not like her to forget dates, well this just sounds selfish and rude.

I can't mop around today, maybe I'll visit mama or Vance. Making my mind up I decide to call them just in case they are busy so I don't interrupt them.

“Hey sis, what's up?” Vance answers out of breath.

“Are you busy? Do you know if mama is busy?”

“I'm with some friends from work getting ready a surprise party for our boss and mama I think she was going to visit a friend out of town” that just sinks my heart to the bottom of my stomach and I try to fight off the tears that threatened to fall.

“Oh ok”

“What's wrong El?” he asks, his voice full of worry. I suppose today I'll spend it alone.

“Nothing” I sigh “don't worry about it.”

“Alright, I have to go have a nice day sis” I let myself fall into the sofa curling up in a ball and start to cry. Not even my brother remembered that today is my birthday.

Mama by now would've called wishing me a happy birthday, she would be one of the first if not the first one to call me but not today. Today seems like a busy day for everyone to even make a call.

I take a fast shower and throw on a hoodie and some sweatpants. I can't be in here all alone so I'll just drive around town to relax myself, today was not supposed to be this stressful. I was supposed to wake up next to my beautiful wife and spend all day with her but apparently there's no time for that anymore.

Ever since she got a part in Scandal we don't spend as much time together as we use to. Don’t get me wrong, I'm so proud of her and if she's happy that's my happiness too, I just wish we had more ‘us' time.

Maybe this is the stress talking or maybe I am truly upset everyone forgot about me today. I hear my phone ringing taking me out of my messy thoughts and I park somewhere before I answer.

“Happy birthday auntie Ellen!” Perry shouts bringing tears to my eyes.

“Th-thank you honey”

“What's wrong?” she asks sweetly as I sniff wiping my eyes with the back of my hand.

“Nothing don't worry sweetie”

“I love you very much auntie Ellen don't cry…” a smile forms on my face at her sweet words.

“I'm not crying darling don't worry, where's Eva?” I try to change she subject while I try to compose myself.

“She's out with daddy and mommy” that's odd why is Perry home alone? “I'm here with grandma” I sigh of relief as now I know she isn't alone.

“Well thank you for calling me, I love you too”

“Happy birthday again, tell auntie Portia I say hi” tears again form in my eyes at the mention of her name.

“I will thank you honey” I let the phone fall on my lap as I lean forward resting my head on the steering wheel crying my eyes out.

A few minutes later I start the car again and start driving to downtown L.A.. I put on my sunglasses as even if I'm in my car in times people recognize me and who would want to see me with red puffy eyes?

I put the volume high on the radio as I keep driving just to keep things out of head and sing my lungs out to every song I know.

I end up on a secluded area of a beach that is not known to many people. Before Portia took her role on Scandal we would come down here and walk along the shore holding hands and talk about anything or nothing at all.

I don't know why I'm here I certainly was not planning on coming here at all. As I walk down the small path to the beach I decide to sit on a rock and just admire my surroundings. I was not aware of how long I had been driving but from the color of the sky it seemed like the day was almost over.

I love sunsets and sunrises even though I don't get to experience them as many times as I would like to. I close my eyes and take a deep breath taking in the smell of the ocean. Out of the blue I feel arms wrapping themselves around me, startling me.

“What the-” I shout trying to get away instantly.

“Relax” I hear the voice that I love and have known for so many years “I love you”

“No you don't” my voice breaks “you left me alone today and you forgot what today is” I feel lips on my neck giving me goosebumps.

“I didn't and I do love you baby”

“Where- why did you leave then?”

“Come walk with me” she unwraps her arms and stands in front of me tugging my right hand but I hesitate “trust me.”

I reluctantly let her pull me to walk with her as her slides into mine. We walk for about ten minutes neither of us talked, I didn't because I was a little upset but yet happy that she was here with me.

“Where are we going Portia?”

“Close your eyes baby” she places herself behind me and her hands go over my eyes covering them “keep walking we're almost there” she walks forcing me to do as she says.

“I will trip and we both will fall-”

“Don't worry I've got you, you won't fall” we take a few more steps before she finally stops “keep them closed don't cheat” I could hear her walking ahead of me and I was starting to get nervous.

“Can I look now?”

“Wait hold on” she came back to me “now you can.”

I open my eyes slightly only to find my wife naked in front of me leaving me breathless. Coming back to my senses and realizing where we are I grab whatever is at my disposal so I can cover her body from prying eyes.

“Darling are you crazy?” I mumble as I keep trying to cover her up.

“I’m crazy for you baby, don’t you like your birthday present?” She starts grinding herself on my leg and it’s rather difficult to try ignore her actions so I don’t even try it.

“You know I love anything that comes from you Portia”

“No one will see us I promise baby. Vance, my brother and his wife helped to make this possible” I look around and find a blanket of sorts with pillows on it and a small fire close by, for privacy they put up these temporary ‘walls’ you could say which I’m grateful for.

“Thank you I really thought you forgot-”

“Never would I forget such a special day Ellen, they were all in except the girls. I’m sorry for the pain I caused in the planning of this but I’m willing to compensate you…” she starts kissing my neck going down to my chest as she unzips my hoodie. I let my head fall back as her hands travel down my stomach to the waistband of my pants.

“Wh-what if someone comes by and we get caught?” the rational part of me still has doubts if we should continue.

“Trust me baby”

“But-” her hand goes in my pants and she applies pressure over my underwear making lose my train of thought. Forgetting what I wanted to say I let my wife work her magic on me.

“You were saying?” she giggles before taking my lips forcing her tongue to play with mine. I explore her lean body with my hands giving her butt a light squeeze earning myself a moan.

She kneels down taking my pants down with her leaving me in my bra and underwear. Taking a step back she looks me up and down making me blush at the attention.

“I love you, let me show you how much” she takes my hand pulling me down with her onto the blanket placing herself on top of me. Leaning towards me she pecks my nose before attacking my neck with her soft lips nibbling and sucking making me groan.

Her right hand goes under me and she skillfully unclasps my bra and she throws it somewhere to the side. Her lips go down to my breasts taking my nipple into her mouth while her hand teases the other one. As if my hips have a life of their own I grind on her leg that is in between my own.

“Patience my love” she smiles mischievously and she starts to go down kissing me everywhere. Taking my underwear off she winks at me as she places herself between my legs with her hands under them and over my stomach.

I almost lose it when she blows and kisses over where I really need her, she knows she's killing me and she does it one more time making me hiss.

“Stop- stop teasing-” I look down to her and she giggles. My head falls on the pillow when she takes my clit into her mouth sucking on it

“Breathe baby” I release the breath I didn't know I was holding as she enters her tongue inside of me as I try to catch my breath from what she is doing to me.

Two fingers replace her tongue as she takes my clit into her mouth again. I start to shake uncontrollably at the actions she's performing on me, her fingers move faster and harder soon I'll explode around them.

“Oh my- I'm- I'm close” I almost shout out.

She doesn't slow down her movements, on the contrary and soon I'm moaning her name loud and I'm sure if anyone were to be close by they would be able to hear that.

“Happy birthday baby” she comes back to me and kisses me, I could taste myself on her which just turned me on again. I guide my hands down the sides of her body groping everywhere I touched.

“Now it's your turn” I whisper in her ear as my right hands slides between us and I enter my fingers in her which makes her dig her nails into my shoulders.

Soon she follows my actions, our fingers in each other we rock together our bodies slick with sweat.

“El- I'm about-” she moans into my ear.

“Come with me baby” we come together and I run my hand down her back to try sooth her from her orgasm.

“I think we are late” she murmurs as she lays her head on my chest.

“Late for what?”

“Your birthday party silly, while we were here they were getting everything ready to surprise you”

“And here I thought no one cared about me…” I turn to my left avoiding her eyes.

“So many people care and love you baby, I'm sorry about today” she caresses my cheek.

“I'm just too emotional, I was able to keep it together but once Perry called I broke down”

“I know my mom told me about it. You know, Vance and I we were following you but you didn't notice” I turn to look back at her beautiful eyes a smile forming on my lips.

“I was busy singing every song that came on”

“I noticed with that headbanging” she laughs and I blush at how silly I probably looked doing that “you looked adorable baby.”

We stay in silence for a minute or two as I draw small circles on her arm with my thumb.

“We should get going don't you think?” she ask as she takes my hand to take a look at my watch.

“We do but I don't want to get up” I whine wrapping my arms around her waist pulling her closer to me.

“We can't keep them waiting plus you are the birthday girl baby” she kisses my chest up to my neck.

“We won't be able to make it even home if you don't stop doing that” I moan.

“Oh but I'm not even nearly done with you honey” she winks getting up and I get chills from losing her warm body. I get dressed against my will but comply with her and soon we are making our way to the party.

“Where to baby?” I ask as I know nothing about this.

“To mama's house” the drive is rather a quiet one which was nice. Enjoying the company of one another is a great feeling.

I park my car behind one I think it's Mike's and run to Portia’s side helping her out. We walk hand in hand and before I knock on the door I realize I'm not dressed for a party.

“Let's to home so I can change”

“That's alright don't worry I brought clothes for you” she smiles and knocks on the door wrapping her arm around my waist.

“Happy birthday honey” mama pulls me into her arms as once again tears threatened to fall down my cheeks. We walk further inside as everyone hugs me wishing me a happy birthday.

This day didn't start the best way but it was certainly worth it to have everyone I love here with me now. I never thought I ever find the happiness I have right now.

I pull Portia with me away from everyone else and kiss her lips softly wrapping my arms around her tightly.

“Thank you for all of this, I'm so happy”

“I only want you to be happy because I love you with all my heart baby” could she be even more amazing? God I'm so lucky to be able to call her my wife.

“I love you too, so so much” I peck her lips once more before we head back to enjoy the party with everyone else.
