MICHAEL
"Okay! we need to get this done as soon as we can. I don't have time to waste." Zelma clapped her hands together silencing the chatter in the room. I groaned sinking in further into the couch and Jesse raised a brow, giving her a playful glare.
I'm starting to think it was a bad idea telling mom and the daises about my surprise gender reveal plan for my wife. They take everything up a notch and half the time they argue about simple things.
"It's a woman's thing." Mason muttered in a matter of fact tone beside me. And i grunt my response.
"why would you call for a meeting at Michael's house when the event we are planning is for his wife?" Jesse said in a matter of fact tone and The red head finally piped up, she pushed her glasses up her nose and her double colored eyes flickered to his grey orbs.
"He's seated right there, why don't you ask him. It was his idea." She stared at him with harden eyes, embers burning within.
I could swear the room temperature went up a few degrees colder. The starring contest between the two didn't end until Zelma cleared her throat. I look at my brother and he cocks a brow. For someone who claims he doesn't care about Aaliyah his eyes tell a different story.
"Keep your fucking mouth shut!" Jesse mouths and I just shrug, hiding a smug smile under my hand.
Thankfully, Anna and Gina where still talking in the backyard, now is the opportunity to finish things up. I want everything ready just so she won't be suspicious when I make the wrong turn after we leave the reception for the opening of the free clinic. It's in two fucking days.
"what?" Aaliyah asked. I must have made some sound.
"Nothing. Let's make things quick, my wife could walk in any minute now and you know how nosy she can be." I said.
"Fine." My sister replied. " we lost the venue..." she started her hazel orbs pinning me down. "Don't freak out yet."
My mouth opens and closes. Can anything go right with these two involved.
"It's okay tho. Lucy over there—" she nods to Jesse " offered his house, at least there's something alive beneath all that." Aaliyah added nonchalantly peering down at her finger nails with a slight frown on her lips.
"The catering service and Decor agency has everything else taken care of. The stylist will drop off the pieces you selected for her off by tomorrow in the name of the opening ceremony and makeup and hair is taken care of as well. You, just have to get Anna to the house with a formidable excuse Joshua, don't screw this up." She lectures.
It was my idea, how do I screw it up?, I wanted to say but pressed my lips together.
"Good."
