February 13th AkA XO's Birthday.

     After setting up my XO's home with roses throughout I looked around satisfied with my work. Of course Xo would work on her birthday. But it allowed me to spend time with my moms this morning so I couldn't even be too mad at her.

      I had cooked her favorite steak and vodka pasta , and grabbed her favorite bottle of wine. She had told me in advance this is all she wanted and knowing who I was dealing with here it was best to listen.

     Xo didn't ask for much, truthfully she didn't ask for anything, only thing she wanted was to be heard. So I made sure she was.

      Hearing the door unlock I stood at the door grabbing a bouquet of flowers ready to embrace her.  

     "Oh my gosh!" Xo spoke as she opened the door . Seeing the roses pour into her home she stood there in awe . Kissing her soft lips I took her purse from her allowing her to accept my embrace .

        "Oh this is beautiful Sy, thank you I love you" she spoke as she smelled the roses. "Anything for you ma, i love you the most" I spoke whole heartedly.

" I made your dinner you ready to eat mama?" I asked as she took her shoes off and stood back taking a picture of her home.

"ALWAYS!" She exclaimed , as she sat down at her counter.

Preparing her plate I watched as she poured herself a glass of wine."you're so perfect Sy" she spoke as she took a sip of her drink. "Am I or are you just happy I cooked?" I teased.

"Little bit of both" she spoke as she giggled.

Later that night

As we layed there entangled in her sheets of her once made bed I couldn't help but smile as she layed across my chest.

"I do got a gift for you, I know you said you didn't want nothing but I think you'll want this" I spoke as I reached over into my bag pulling out an envelope.

"Sy what nooo I'm okay-"

"Just open it ma, please " I interrupted her resistance. I had heard enough of that no, stop , wait shit tonight.

Smiling she sat up and started opening the envelope. Pulling out the sheet of paper I could see her reading it in thought.

"Wait a second- you made me an owner- of your restaurant Sy this is crazy wait-" she spoke as she interrupted herself by covering her mouth with tears in her eyes.

I had thought about selling my restaurant's so many times over the years. Yet ever since I had been with Xo the thought hadn't crossed my mind once.

She had returned my love for cooking back to me and I hadn't even realized until new years. Giving her 25% was the least I could do.

      "Don't cry ma, you deserve it. You my muse" I spoke as she wiped her tears of joy.

     "Type shit ,type shit." She responded causing me to irrupt into laughter , she was so fake gangster.

    Bombarding me with kisses I held her face kissing her hungrily.

      Hearing my phone ring I excused myself going to her bathroom to pick it up.

     "Wsp boi" Ant spoke with music blasting in the background.

     "Wsp man, where you at?" I questioned knowing it wasn't like him to be out on a weekday.

     "Lena's , she got me building furniture and shit" Ant responded .

     "Stay cacked up, damn man let her breathe " I teased causing him to chuckle.

    "Shut up you ready for tomorrow , I just got done talking to Solei & Genevieve their plane landed this morning " Ant spoke referring to her proposal for tomorrow.

     I had flown the most important people in her life out I know she wouldn't want them to miss this.

     "Yeah I'm ready I stay ready , but ima text you she in the other room right now" I responded.

     "Shit you talk about me being caked up you there 365 days out the year how about you let her breathe!" Ant teased causing me to shake my head.

      "Yeah aight she love it here" I defended as I hung up.

     "Who called babe?" Lena spoke as she was on Netflix putting on her weird ass 'Bridgerton' .

       "The manager at the restaurant New York everything cool though " I lied not wanting to seem even remotely suspicious. Causing her to nod.

      "It's your birthday so I'm going to let this girly ass show slide today-"

    "Boy you watch this shit with me everytime from frontin" she spoke sounding just like me and I couldn't help but chuckle.

      "You really my twin" I responded as I got back under the covers . "Nah you my twin" she teased as she kissed my cheek.

     After how perfect today was I had no doubt in my mind would top it all off. All this lying and secrecy would be worth it. I had picked out the most romantic place to propose, the whole week is being made to lead up to this moment.

The only thing I needed her to do was say yes, and become Mrs.Malone.
