All I really want to say my darling
Today is a special day we call our own
So take me in your arms and hold me
And tell me you love me
And I'll be there for you
~ Tony, Toni, Tone
Jey wakes me from my nap and I smile up at him.
"Mm, it smells amazing in here."I whisper and Jey helps me stand.
"I made soul food for you." Jey says and I gasp when I look at the food on the table.
"Are you serious?" I ask, excitement clear in my voice.
I walk over to the kitchen and my mouth instantly starts to water at the delicious display in front of me.
Steak smothered in gravy, collard greens, the cheesiest baked macaroni I've ever seen and candied yams.
"Oh..my God. Jey, when did you have time to make all of this?!" I ask.
He smile and helps me to sit at the table.
"I started cooking at the house. I made the steak and yams tonight. I hope you like it." Jey says.
He says he cooked most of it yesterday, but smoke is steaming off everything. It all smells so good! I can't wait to taste it all.
Jey fixes my plate, adding a good amount to my plate. Not too much, but definitely not too little.
He fixes his plate and I patiently wait for him, as I deeply inhale the fantastic aroma before me.
"You want something to drink?" Jey asks, as he quickly gets up.
"Hell yeah. What do we have?" I ask.
Jey opens the fridge.
"You can't have caffeine. So, your choices are lemonade or red kool aid."
"Ooh! Kool aid, please." I smile.
"I gotchu." Jey grabs two cups and pours me some kool aid.
He pours lemonade for himself and brings out drinks to the table.
"Can we eat now? Me and your babies are starving." I pout.
"One thing we have to do first." Jey says.
I sigh and place my hand in his. Jey blesses the food and ends the prayer with a kiss on my hand.
"Aight, now we can eat." Jey says.
"Yes!" I say, happily and quickly dig into the food.
Of course the yams are the first to be tasted.
I fork a thick piece and shove it into my mouth.
Immediately, I groan in satisfaction. My eyes roll to the back of my head and I continue with my meal.
"You like it?" He asks.
"Damn, baby! This is hella good, mm." I dig into the steak next and it literally melts on my tongue.
"If we weren't together already, you would definitely get some pussy after this meal. I'd have to marry you."
Jey let's out a loud and hearty laugh, that makes me giggle.
"Is that right?" Jey smiles.
I nod.
"I'm glad you like the food, Bae." Jey shakes his head and continues to eat.
A comfortable silence falls over us, as we eat. Occasionally one of us will brush our feet against the other's leg or exchange loving glances.
Another thing I love about being with Jey, no matter how long we're not talking, it's never awkward or uncomfortable.
