"Taelyn, there's a guest here for you, he's at booth number five." My other manager Savanna said as I nodded and grabbed a paper towel to dry my hands.
As I stepped out I couldn't help but smile at Chris sitting in the booth alone, so I decided to joke with him.
"Hey, I'm Tae your server. What can I get you?" I said as he laughed before standing up, he pecked my lips and pulled me into a hug.
"Hey mama, I just wanted to come see you real quick, you got a minute?" He questioned as I nodded and sat with him. Cam came over to say hello before going back to assist another table.
"I have an hour break. It's about time to take it anyway," I said checking the time on my phone. "What are you doing here?"
"I can't come see my babies?" He questioned smirking as I tried to hide the smile forming of my face; only to fail.
"I didn't say you couldn't, I'm glad you came to see us. Did you wanna order something? I can tell Lucas or the cooks to put something in for you." I said as Chris grabbed a menu and nodded, his eyes scanned over our lunch specials before hooked up at me.
"Let me get the turkey melt with a bag of kettle chips, pretty please my love." He said as I nodded and rolled my eyes playfully before getting up from the table we shared, I headed to the back and wrote down his order for the cooks and let Lucas know to give Chris my discount.
"Okay, I'm back." I said out of breath, my stomach was getting bigger and I was out of breath form doing the simplest things.
"But nah, I needed Cam's number for something." He said as I furrowed my brows curiously.
"Okay? For?" I questioned folding my arms across my chest.
"A piece I'm working on.." He quickly spoke as I twisted my lips to the side.
"Oh okay, well I'll have her text you when I go back to work." I said as Lucas brought out Chris's food. We talk for a while until my alarm went off signaling that my hour had practically flown by. I wasn't hungry but I did plan to grab myself and Mason something before I left.
I didn't feel like cooking tonight.
"I love you mama." Chris said pecking my lips a few times before I heard "Aww !" coming from the waitresses booth. I looked over to see Cam, Angela, and Melody staring.
"Byeeee, nothing to see here." I joked as they laughed and went back to work, I swear they were so nosy sometimes but I loved my work besties.
A little after Chris left, I headed to the back to give Cam his number and wash my hands before assisting a large family.
I was also given my first one hundred dollar tip along with the sweetest note on my receipt.
-Congrats on the little one. May God bless you. <3
My pregnant emotional ass almost started crying; again.
"See you guys later!" I said tossing my tote over my shoulder before hugging Angela and Melody, they'd also rub my and tell the baby bye every shift they worked, it was the cutest thing.
"Hey Cam, Chris said he's working on a piece and he needed your help with it? I guess, don't quote me." I said as Cam pulled her key from her pocket.
"Oh yeah! He said he's gonna hit me up later,"She smiled before hugging me. "I love you pooh butt."
"I love you too." I said before getting into the car and rolling down my windows slightly, I pulled out and onto the street headed in the direction of Masons daycare.
I couldn't wait to see my baby boy. —— omniscient.
"Yo, you sure this is the one you want, I mean we looked at like five already." Jarvis questioned as he and Chris stood at the counter in Kay Jewelers.
Chris nodded as the worker by the name of Corey helped with boxing up the princess diamond engagement ring into a gift bag, this moment sealed the deal for Chris all he had to do was pop the question, and hope that Tealyn would say yes.
"I'm sure, this one is perfect."
"Honestly C, I'm proud of you man for real." Jarvis said pretending to wipe a tear from his eye as Chris pushed him playfully.
They shared a laugh, even Corey stood behind the counter laughing at their silliness, the two had been cracking jokes and goofing around since entering the store. It actually made Corey's shift go by a little faster. "man I'm serious, in the past I never thought you'd get married or even consider proposing."
Chris shook his head grabbing the small gift bags from Corey, he had also purchased Mason a small gold chain so they could match. The two headed out to Chris's car and got in, starting the engine Chris headed in the direction of Jarvis's condo in order to drop his off before meeting up with Cam to tell her the news.
"Honestly, I'm nervous." He said as Jarvis looked over at him.
"Why?" He questioned curiously, a little confused b y his best friend's sudden cold feet.
"I don't know," he shrugged. "what if she says no."
"Nah, ya buggin' she's not gonna say no. That girls loves yo ass real shit. If anything she'll say yes before you even get the "will you marry me" out." He said as they shared a laugh. Chris rested his arm on the glove compartment allowing his body and nerves to relax.
"Yeah you right bro, I'm trippin' but you wanna be the best man? You're really my brother for real." Jarvis's brows lifted his brows and blinked a few times. Shocked but happy by Chris including him.
"Hell yeah! Oh it's about to be lit!" He said as Chris pulled into the parking spot putting his vehicle in park. The two slapped hands as Jarvis got out of the car.
"I love you bro, real shit C."
"I love you too man." He said as Jarvis shut the door and headed inside.
—- Cam's apartment.
"I'm proposing to Tae." He blurted out.
"What?! Oh My God! Chris! Oh My God!" She squealed covering her mouth as he laughed.
"Relax," He chuckled. "I need you to keep it a secret, I already have the dinner reservations set up and what ring." He said pulling ring from his pocket showing it to her, it was a small but beautiful princess cut diamond ring.
"Oh my goodness! She's going to love this! It's so beautiful.. wow you really do love my bestie."
"I do, man Camila don't start cryin'" He laughed seeing Cam fanning away her tears of happiness.
"Whew, okay I promise I'm going to keep this a secret, have you told her mom, your mom?" She questioned as I nodded.
"Eveyone knows except Tae, I even told my little sister to hush." I said as Cam laughed.
"Okay, I'm so excited!! But if you need me to help out with anything else just shoot me a text," she said as Chris stood from the living room couch and stretched his limbs before yawning. "I know Tae is off tomorrow so if you need to talk in person just come up to the restaurant." She said walking him to the door.
"I sure will." He smiled and gave her a friendly hug before leaving.
He couldn't wait to finally pop the question, and with everyone on his side; nothing could go wrong.
