Toni looks over the name on the cake that is set in front of her with a hum, nodding at the baker with a smile. "Good job. How much?"

After paying the woman, the athlete quickly leaves the small establishment to trek toward her car where her girlfriend waits with Nohea's balloons and gifts. "Mikayla called. She said Hea will be home from art class in an hour."

"Good, that gives me enough time to pick up her surprise." the brunette smirks while setting the cake on the redhead's lap. She quickly ambles over to the driver's side of her BMW before starting up the luxury vehicle.

Today is Nohea's 17th birthday, and of course, the family will be going all out for her. With Toni's help, Byrce brought the teen a car, her very first one. Toni agreed to pick it up after the younger girl gets home so they'll be able to surprise her along with everyone else who will be attending.

Saying Toni is excited is an understatement. She's been waiting for the moment her niece can drive ever since the girl turned thirteen, around the time her sister started joining the army.

"Does Nohea even have her driver's license?" Cheryl chuckles, adjusting herself so she can look at her girlfriend.

The latter nods, chuckling. "Of course...we wouldn't be getting her a car just to give her a car, baby."

"Just making sure." the redhead hums with a smile. "You're very excited, huh?" she then asks. Toni looks at her briefly before turning back to the road with her same excited grin. "I am. I've practically helped raise this girl, and to see her grow up right before my eyes is just...a blessing. She's like...my first child ever, you know?"

The model takes in her girl's answer with a smile. She knows that Toni will make an amazing mother in the future. She can't wait until their moment comes. The moment when they'll be able to make a family of their own.

"I get it, TT. " she finally answers. "I'm excited as well. Nohea is very hard working, she deserves everything she will receive today."

"I couldn't agree more, my love." the athlete smirks, making the turn on Mikayla's street. She parks in the apartment complex's garage before shutting off her car so she and Cheryl can hurry upstairs.

She gets out of the vehicle, rounds to the passenger side door, and opens it. Toni takes the cake from her girl's lap so the redhead can get up, being sure to grab the Blue "1 7" balloons and her gifts for the teen.

Toni shuts the door behind her girlfriend, like the gentlewoman she is before wrapping her free arm around the model's dainty waist. They walk to the elevator where a couple steps out.

"Ohhh, a birthday party? Are we invited?" the guy jokes making the two women laugh as they step into the elevator.

Cheryl presses Mikayla's floor when the doors close. "Are you excited about our trip next week?" Toni turns to look at her with a bitten lip.

"To be with you? Yes. But going to work, not so much." the beauty guru chuckles briefly. "Thanks for agreeing to tag along though, I know I'd be stressed out without having you there."

"As if I'd pass up a trip to Athens with my girlfriend?" the brunette scoffs, her hold on the latter's waist tightening. She leans closer to the redhead's ear, whispering. "Plus...thinking about all the fun we'd have together."

Cheryl feels a shiver tickle her spine while a blush smears up to the tips of her ears. "TT..." she warns with a soft laugh, albeit embracing the other woman's proximity. "Still very much on my period."
