It was only two weeks before my birthday and I couldn't be more excited!.

For one reason, I shared my birthday with my boyfriend and another one, I knew he had something planned.

He kept saying he didn't know what he'll be doing, I knew he was lying.

Ever since we saw Yanique things have been quiet, I thought that was a good thing but it wasn't.

Apparently in this family whenever things get too quiet, something else is amidst.

We still went on with our lives though, I'm mostly at home, King works from home now too, English put him in charge of some new scheming project with a politician.

I haven't asked what its about, he's asked me to help him and I have, I don't read too much into it.

Let's just say, English has the right idea of how to skim a little money off the top of government heads and still make them work for him.

Currently, I was making breakfast while King was on his laptop and flipping through papers.

The island top had papers scattered almost the entirety of it.

This was our usual mornings, him working, me making breakfast.

Placing the last waffle on the plate, I turned the stove off and put the plate down to give King his breakfast.

I stacked some of the papers aside, letting him know it was time to eat something.

"Thanks baby" he says picking up his fork as I sat next to him, "you alright?".

"Mhmm", I already had a mouth full off food before siting down.

I can't help it if his child likes waffles just as much as he did.

Sucking the chocolate syrup from my thumb, I used my pinky finger to brush the twists from his eyes.

His hair grew out so much these last few weeks, I told him to get twists because he would look so cute and he did look cute.

I couldn't stop admiring how handsome he looked, his hair covered his eyebrows, almost shielding his eyes.

Him and English had the same hairstyle and haircut, the resemblance was uncanny.

My boyfriend is gorgeous.

"Thanks" he smiles, "your birthday is in two weeks, what do you want to do or where do you want to go?".

"Our birthday is in two weeks" I remind, he rolls his eyes at me.

"Like I said, what do you want to do?".

Like him naah go have sumn planned already.

I gave up on asking to see my parents because I know that's impossible right now.

I'll have to spend a birthday without either of them.

He noticed my mood dropped, prompting him to move his laptop further away from him and turn in my direction.

"Talk to me, what is it?", the way him always know.

I fiddled with my fork, causing it to make scraping noises on the plate.

"I miss my parents, that's all" I answer glancing at him, "I know I can't physically be with them, I just miss them".

"I feel bad about it too"
