"Can you please just tell me. I don't like surprises anymore." Ryan pestered frowning. Aries shook his head continuing to drive. She huffed leaning back in her seat feeling defeated.

"You gone love it mama. Just sit back and chill out." Aries spoke up getting no response. "Youn hear me taking ta' you?"

"I heard you." Ryan muttered even though she heard him, she wasn't listening for real.

"I know you heard me, You ain't listening though. Lose that attitude, Ryan." He glanced over seeing her lips form into a small pout, watching her turn the radio up in attempt to ignore him.

Being the petty person he is, Aries turned the whole radio off. "Now we gone ride in silence since you wanna play." He switched lanes. "Ole mad ass." He added just for effect.

"I'm not even mad. Just stop talkin' to me 'for you piss me off. Real shit." She snapped rolling her eyes on the last part. "Tryna be funny, when you know I can get hilarious."

The car grew silent as they both sat in their thoughts, thinking that the argument was petty and little.

"I'm sorry." They both apologized at the same time laughing shortly after.

"I was on some petty shit forreal, that wasn't called for. I ain't have to do allat i'm sorry boo. Forgive meee." She dragged leaning over the middle console to kiss his cheek.

"Ain't nothing to forgive, that was some little stuff forreal. But I forgive you pretty girl. Reach in that backseat and grab that bag fa' me." He spoke, internally excited to see her reaction.

Ryan looked back seen a matte black bag, that she had overlooked earlier. "This shit heavy. You carrying bags of bricks, what's in here?" She huffed turning her whole body to pick it up.

"Look and see." He ominously said earning a mean side eye from Ryan.

"Get backhanded if you want to." She threatened unserious of course. Opening the bag with two fingers holding her right eye closed dramatically.

He smacked his lips snatching the bag open. "All that playing you doing. Look and see what's in there." He rushed complaining.

"Wait let me record first, for core memories." She joked referencing 'Inside out 2'. Setting her phone up and hitting recording she began pulling out the contents of the gift bag.

Three boxes sat stacked on top of each other, one big and two small. "Waittt! aww love you so sweet." Ryan cheesed pulling out a silver chain adorned with a diamond heart shaped locket.
