For the first time in a long time I woke up before my alarm, I sat with my back against the headboard trying to get my life together, as a loud yawn escaped my lips.
Nerves filled my stomach as I sat on the edge of my bed thinking about today. Picking up my phone from the night stand beside my bed, I quickly turned the alarm off seeing that it was five fifteen in the morning.
Today is the day!
My baby is being released today and I had to make sure everything was perfect. I cleaned the house all yesterday so I knew that was one less thing I had to worry about.
Marcus wasn't being released until eight a.m but I knew I had to get ready, and for us females it takes us a lot longer and the way time has been speeding up these days I knew I had to get up much earlier than I wanted to, plus the jail was an hour away from here.
"Alexa, play my morning playlist." I spoke, walking into my walk in closet as Meek Mill 24/7 began to play giving me the right type of vibe that I needed to start my day.
Placing my outfit I threw together on the bed I made my way toward the adjoined bathroom. Turning on the shower I allowed it to get hot before removing my satin pajama set stepping inside.
Grabbing my towel and my shea butter and brown sugar caress soap I began washing every inch of my brown skin, that I eventually learned to love.
As the water massaged my body my mind wondered how the day would go. I was super nervous I wondered how Marcus felt, if he was as nervous as I was to finally meet each other in person.
As long as Marcus and I have been dating we've never seen each other in person. We did do video calls, and always talked on the phone but he said he didn't want me to come to visit, he rather me come one his last day getting out than to see me every few weeks.
Turning the water off I stepped out onto my plush mat grabbing a towel wrapping it around my slim frame as I dried myself off and lotion down in my favorite glittery body oil.
I felt so goofy as I smiled to myself as I stared at my reflection in the mirror, I was too excited and beyond ready to see Marcus.
Walking into the room I allowed the towel to fall to the floor as I slid on lingerie panties and matching bra set putting on my outfit that i hoped he'd like.
It was black, his favorite color.
Hearing a notification sound I walked back into the bathroom to find my phone on the countertop brightly lit seeing a calendar notification that today was the day of Marcus's release.
Removing the bonnet from my head, my fresh sew in from the night before that's to Chanel fell down my back stopping a little above my butt. Even though it wasn't terrible I still felt the need to run a flat iron to it one time for a fresh look.
Grabbing my makeup kit I began to do my makeup, which took a minute or few before spraying myself with my favorite perfume.
Giving myself one last glance over I took a selfie before turning off the light heading down the stairs toward the front door.
