Happy Birthday to Me

When Tameka Johnson met Ramon Cruise, he couldn't keep his hands off her. The loss of her job six months ago, and a substantial amount of weight gain made her feel unattractive and depressed. It didn't help her self-esteem to realize Ramon spent more time at his shop than with her. Was it the 200 pound weight logged on her 5'3 frame that kept him away? Ramon was kind to her until her body had ballooned out of proportion; he never missed anything important to her. So why is she alone on her birthday? Will a stranger at her door give her what she needs and what she only wanted from the love of her life? Happy Birthday to Me is a story about a woman feeling out of control and lonely on what she believed was an important day in her life, her birthday.

However, fantasy is threatened by reality when a birthday gift brings her face to face with the neighbors that she daydreams about. Her chance meeting makes her tempted to step across the line of envisioning their lovemaking to joining in.
