M A R I A POV
I woke up to the lovely, delicious smell of bacon, eggs, and pancakes. I slipped on my slippers as I creeped down the stairs of August house. I decided to spend a night here just because I got tired of sitting in an empty house alone. Don't worry I slept in the guest room. I peeked around the corner as Ant was coloring in a coloring book, And August was whipping it up in the kitchen.
"Uh um." I said clearing my throat trying to catch their attention to let them know I was awake.
"Aw, good morning to the beautiful birthday girl." August said, coming to hug me. I smiled awkwardly hugging back. Ant soon then got up and hugged me and he pulled a small box out from behind his back.
"For you my lady." He laughed, as he watched me open it.
"Aww." I coo'd, pulling out a beautiful necklace with my name on it.
"It's from me and my d-..... Him. Do you like it ?"
"I love it. Thank you both." I kissed Ant forehead, as August put the necklace on around my neck. "Happy birthday." He whispered into my ear. It totally slipped my mind that today was my birthday. August fixed my plate and handed it to me, while everybody say down at the dinning room table.
"So, what you gone do before tonight ?" August asked stuffing eggs into his mouth.
"What's tonight ?" Ant asked. "I want to go."
"Your too young. But, I didn't have nothing planned for today. But, since Ant can't join me tonight I think I'll just have a dinner later on with some family and friends."
"Sounds like a plan. Where you want to eat at ? Dinner is on me."
"No, it's okay August I have my ow-"
"I insist. Plus, it's your birthday you shouldn't have to pay for nothing. With that being said I'm also paying your way into the club tonight. So, where you want to eat ?"
"Red lobsters, I guess."
"Deal. I'm paying."
"Can I come to at least the dinner ?" I laughed at Ant as I nodded my head yes. We were heading out to eat at four this afternoon, then clubbing at eight or nine. I didn't want to go clubbing all night and come home at three in the damn morning. I wanted to be home before one in the morning.
I haven't started back driving yet.... Not cause I can't but because I choose not to. I'm going to ride to the club with Aggy, then after the club she's going to come back to my house. Then that will be that. Also, turns out I have to start school at the beginning of April so I can take these exams, then I'll be able to graduate with my class of 2015 in May.
"Knock. Knock." August said, behind the closed guest room door.
"Come in." I shouted.
"Ready ?" He asked walking into the guest room.
"Yea, I just have to put my shoes on." August is about to take me home, so I can shower and all that good stuff, afterwards he's going to come back and pick me up so we can go out to eat. I called and texted everybody I wanted at the dinner later.
I was walking into Ant room to say goodbye to him, since I feel like we have a unexplainable connection. But, when I walked in I noticed a picture sitting on Anthony's dresser. I immediately went for it and examined the photo.
"Oh, that's Robert.....well Melvin. He's my uncle, my da- uh yeah."
"I've seen him before, not to long ago."
