I'm awoken to the sound of the doorbell being rung. I fell asleep on the couch last night but I woke up in my bed, I guess my mommy carried me into my bedroom. I'm officially 10 years old today which is so awesome because I'm having an amazing birthday party this afternoon. I quickly get out of bed and adjust my tank top then I fold my pajama shorts over so they will stop falling down. I put my glasses on so I won't bump into things then I leave my bedroom.

Once I leave my bedroom I walk downstairs and to the front door. I look at the TV that shows security footage. I see Nydia standing at the front door with a large bag in her hand. I bite my lip as I slowly open the front door.

"Happy birthday!" Nydia says sweetly

"Thank you so much." I reply as she walks inside then she closes the door behind her

She immediately drops her bag and tackle hugs me making me groan softly. She rests her hand on my thigh and she lifts me up so I'm wrapping my legs around her waist.

There's a weird smell on her breath it smells like alcohol. I quickly brush it off because I'm probably just imagining things.

"It's your special day!" She squeals as she spins me around making me giggle

"Eeek I know I'm so excited!" I squeal as I wrap my arms around the back of her neck

"I got you some gifts." She tells me as she puts me down

"Gifts? You didn't have to buy me anything." I say sweetly as I sway side to side while clasping my hands together

"Does your mom know I'm here?" She asks as she picks up the bag

"Yeah I told her you were coming over last night." I explain to her

My mama is on like a little press tour for a movie that she's in, so she hasn't been home for the past couple of days but she promised me she'll be here for my birthday. So it's just me, Sir, Rumi and my mommy in the house.

"Come on." I add on as I take her hand

She smiles widely then she follows after me and we walk upstairs. I open my bedroom door for her so she can walk inside first. Once she walks inside I follow after her. I close my bedroom door then I sit down on the edge of my bed.

"I know you love to wear sunglasses when you dance but you can't because they fall off. And to be honest I didn't know what else to get you because, what the hell do you get a billionaire?" She stammer as she goes into her large bag

I chuckle softly as I listen to her miniature rant. I kick my feet back and forth as I wait for her to show me the gift. She takes one small brown bag that say "Chanel" and another case that says "Cartier". She takes the brown bag then she throws it on the floor.

"Well I got you two of them." She says as she looks at both of the cases that are in her hand before placing it down in front of me

"I can open it?" I ask her

"Of course." She replies
