"Girl, these are all so beautiful! Thank you so much!" Nichelle said staring at the decorations and bouquets.
"Don'tchu worry. I got tons more, so I'ma be dropping off some stuff tomorrow, like: the table decor, graphics, toppers, balloons..." and on and on she went.
Nichelle kept her eyebrows to the sky and just...nodded. "Ok" she kept repeating silently.
After unloading four giant boxes, Deja took a break. She stood by her car, as Nichelle approached, placing both hands on both sides of her belly.
"You know" Deja began, smiling at Nichelle She made a pause to place a gentle hand on the belly too. "Officer Luca -Dominique- is a really nice guy."
"Yes, he is." Nichelle said nodding.
"Like, I was surprised such a noble guy could be a cop, for sho!"
"Hey! There are some really good ones out there!"
"I mean, we all know cops aint easy, right?"
"Uh, excuse you! My guy is a cop and a very easy going one for that matter."
"Uh..." Deja teased, followed by a giggle.
"Uh what? You better stop that now?" Nichelle frowned, with a smile.
"Girl, you better tell that man to start wearing 'em pants where they was made for! He ain't 20 no mo!"
"Deja!" Nichelle scolded, making the women bust out laughing.
RIIIIIING RIIIIING
"It had to be said!" Deja mumbled.
Nichelle went for her cellphone in her pocket, but not before turning and shooting a death glared to the visitor, who just giggled.
"Hey Luca! We were just talking about you." Nichelle greeted, looking at Deja.
"Hey Nichelle! We?" Luca asked.
"Yeah, Deja's here talking some none sense!" Nichelle said shooting another playful stare.
"Hi Luca!" Deja called.
"Hey! So, how's the prep for the reveal going?" Luca responded.
"It's going really good." Nichelle responded
BEEP BEEP
"Awesome. Um..." he paused, making Nichelle frown. Deja took out her beeping cellphone and was reading off the screen. "Are you guys, like... done? Or are you just starting? Coz I can call later."
"Oh, um...I'm not sure. Let me check" Nichelle said, resting the phone on her shoulder. "Deja?"
The younger lady had been on her phone since the beeping started. She snapped back and immediately said, "Girl, I gotta run, but um...I'ma drop the other stuff tomorrow. K?"
"Ok, perfect. Thank you!" Nichelle said with a smile.
"Got my sister bothering me about the ca' again. You know how it is."
"Oh, ok. Patience, De." Nichelle said softly.
"Umm hum." she responded, rolling her eyes. "Bye baby momma!" she finished excitedly.
"Byyyye!" Nichelle said with the same tone.
She waved her friend goodbye, then turned to the phone. She walked slowly back to the house, while the car took off.
"Luca? You still there?" Nichelle resumed.
"Yeah. I need your help on something."
"Sure, what can I do for you?" she answered, sitting on the couch.
