"do you guys see yourselves marrying and having a family together in the future?" asked overtime larry
me and melo looked at eachother before smilling and looking back at larry
"yeah" we said in unison
--
"ky'rah do you still have any love for LaMel...
we all ate dinner and had a good time, big baller did a speech leaving everyone on the verge of crying. everyone said a speech or a rap depends if you name was zo2 or not
"ok enough of that sappy stuff, and zo leave the rapping to me dora the explorer over there, but ahh melo come here" i said holding out my arm
he pushed his chair out and stood next to me with his arm around my shoulder and mine around his waist
"ok i know everyone had some long ass, sentimental speeches but if i'm being honest, giving you a speech wasnt even on my list of things to do today" everyone chuckled
"nah but melo you been a huge part of my life and i wouldn't be who i am without you, without any of you" i pointed to everyone one. diego pointed the finger back catching my eye
"diego don't think i didn't see that, we gon have words later" he slumped back into his chair
"anyways but i love you more than life and can't wait to see everything unfold this year, so with that, happy birthday best friend"
i looked up to him and he back looked down to me
"thank you ky'rah, i love you too" he gave me a long hug infront of everyone
"...anyone else feel the tension?" gelo said
"yeah is it hot or just me?" tina joked fanning herself with her shirt
tina had always made jokes and comments about me and melo dating, in her words we were meant for eachother and like 'twin flames that could never go out'. i swear if tina had a dying wish it would be for us to get married💀😂
"haha very funny guys" i said looking back at them
"aye but me and gelo have a surprise for you melo, hold up" gelo got the hint, got up and quickly ran off to grab the cake that had been delivered to the restaurant
he came back with a cake in his hands
"happy birthday me-" gelo started before tripping
it all happened in slow motion. the cake went up in the air landing face down in front of a very scared gelo
"NIGGA MY CAKE!" melo yelled at gelo
"LIANGELO!" tina yelled getting up ready to take her child back out of this world
melo started storming over to gelo ready to box a nigga
"WAIT WAIT WAIT!" gelo said putting his hands up between himself and melo
"look behind you" gelo said pointing behind melo
melo spun around to me holding a cake

(Zaydyn? no LaMelo)
"don't play wit me like that" melo let out a sigh of relief
"man i never feared melo in my life until that moment" gelo said picking up the fake cake off the floor
"yeah! you know us ball boys don't play bout out cakes" lavar boomed
🎵happy birthday to you..🎵 i started
🎵happy birthday to youuu🎵 everyone joinded as i walked to melo with the lit cake praying i wouldn't actually pull a gelo
🎵happy birthday day dear meloooo, happy birthday too you... HIP HIP🎵
"HORRAYY, HIP HIP, HORRAY clap clap clap clap clap*" we all cheered
melo looked me dead in the eyes and i did too, while everyone was clapping, cheering and saying make a wish, it was like time froze
i snapped out of the daze and softly said "make a wish" he grinned before blowing out his candles
"WOOHOOO!" everyone cheered
melo cut the first slice of the cake as tradition but momma t had to take over bc melos a bit slow and still can't function properly off the court
we all ate some of his cake flavoured chocolate and vanilla; depending on what layer you had, and joked about the day. it was nice, we had NEVER had a birthday for any of us this lowkey
half of chino was always invited but today it was just: me, gelo, zo, diego, tina, lavar, melo and ofc the camera crew. i will admit it, i liked it, it felt like something big in our lives was private
"can i open my gifts now?" melo whined like a little kid asking if he could leave time out
"boy nobody said you couldn't do that when you first walked in!" lavar laughed leaving melos jaw to drop
melo then fixed his face, jumped up quick from the table and started unwrapping gifts like there was no tmrw
"yoooo!" he pulled out a clear iridescent LV bag from gelo "your welcome youngin"
he had shoes, bags, gift cards, new ps4 games, controllers, headphones, you name it he got it
he read the tag on one of the last presents on the table "from ky x" he read aloud making me nervous
he unwrapped the blue box shaped gift revealing a velvet box from ice box
"yo wtf rah" he said looking at me
"open it dip" i said praying to the heaven above
you see i whenever me, diego, the brothers or even dmo got anything from ice box we ALWAYS went thru the same guy; Ricardo AKA RICKY RICH.
he hooked me up, not meaning it didn't cost an arm and a leg, but yk we were regulars, it was melos bday, and ricky was a cool dude so i got a sneaky discount
melo opened the box slowly looking down to the two chains i had brought

matching cuban links, a pink one for me and a blue one for melo
"let us see bro" zo said making melo turn the box around
he just gave me a big ass hug not forming any words
"here lemme put it one you, the blue ones for you and pink for me" he turned around and i got on my tippy toes putting his chain on and then him doing the same for me
"couple vibes" diego said squinting his eyes
"best friends vibes" i corrected him
"thank you ky'rah these fire asf!" melo posed for gelos camera and so did i
