••Deja's P.O.V.••

I woke up and Braxton was still sleep. It was only 8 so I didn't wanna wake him up. I went in the bathroom washed my face and gargled in some mouth wash. My hair was a mess so I just wet it in the shower so it could curl up and put it in a messy bun.

I went in Braxton's room to put on a pair of his sweatpants and an air brushed basketball shirt he had that said *Balling Braxton 23*. I put that on and sat on the foot of the bed and started watching tv.

"Boo!" He said scaring the shit out of me. "Morning princess." he said "Good morning baby." He went in the bathroom and did his hygiene routine then came back in. "Want me to take you home ? It's Thanksgiving tomorrow and every year me and my mom go to Virginia to see my sister." He told me. "Thanksgiving?" I said . "Oh shit it is tomorrow. yeah I have to help Shay and Ms. Erica cook." I told him.

"Okay you ready?" He said "yeah." I told him and he took me home."Bye baby love you I might not see you tomorrow but I'll call you." "Ard baby love you too." I gave him a kiss and then walked straight to the kitchen. Ms.Erica and Shay was already peeling potatoes and cleaning the greens. "Deja can you boil the noodles so I can start the pasta salad ?" "Yes ma'am." I told her and started cooking.

We spent pretty much the whole day cooking. I was so tired all I wanted to do was go to sleep. I layed in my bed and texted Braxton.

Husband😍💍 ; goodnight baby 😘 love you , be safe and have fun in Virginia.

Loml😩😍🙈💑 ; goodnight princess I love you too and enjoy your day tomorrow .

After 10 minutes I fell asleep.

••Braxton's P.O.V••

We decided to leave now today so we could get there around 10 tonight. My mom drove and I just sat there listening to fetty wap thinking bout my baby. I love deja. She not like these other hoes she the truth. I wanna go far in life with her.

About 3 hours later we were in Virginia. "Hey big head." my sister said slapping me. "wassup." I said giving her a hug. I grabbed my moms bag and mine and we went in her living room. "Ma, Braxton, this is my fiancé Derek." fiancé ? I said in my head. Every year she was dating a new guy I hope this light skin ain't a fuck boy. "Nice to meet you." he said shaking me and my mom's hand. "You too." I said.

"Yall can go in the basement its two bedrooms down there." Keona (my sister) told us. I went downstairs and started typing this paragraph for deja.

Loml😩😍🙈💑 ; Happy thanksgiving baby girl. I love you so much words can't describe it. I thank God for putting you in my life. This month has been so much better with you in it and pray that we have many more to come😊. Be safe and enjoy your thanksgiving call me when you can love you 😘❤️.

I sent it to her and looked on her Instagram to see how beautiful she was. I was scrolling til I saw Tae comment on one * Damn ma when you gonna let me tap that.* *chill Tae I got mine ain't nobody hitting it but him.* she said . when was this ? I looked at it and it said 2 days ago. Why didn't Deja tell me ? I mean she took care of it but she could've still told me so I could put him in his place. HOLDUP THAT WAS TAE ! My so call mans tae ? Wtf why he tryna get with my girl ?

I was about to go off on him but I was too tired.
