The snow had left a dusting over his vehicle. After the heavy snowfall the previous night, the storm had calmed down around three in the morning. Angelo was parked in the driveway, slumped down in his seat. He used his coat as a blanket and got himself at least five hours of rest. Guilt was partially responsible for where he fell asleep, but his heart was the major part. The guilt he suffered from didn't stem from cheating on Parris. Angelo didn't feel right sleeping next to another woman after the sex he had with Nashea. If he kept his mouth closed, she would still be lying on top of him.
Parris didn't come to mind until taps against the window shook him out of his slumber. Peeling his eyelids back one at a time, Angelo blinked his eyes to rid them of their blurriness. As his vision cleared, the diamond teeth staring him in the face were nearly frightening. He moved his gaze from them to the covered eyes of the famous rapper. Lil Wayne stood there, bundled up in a fur coat that was oversized. It almost covered his whole body. The singer Lloyd and his best friend Rasheed were behind him. Things instantly connected in his brain. Parris suddenly took her place inside of it. He planned a whole Christmas Eve proposal that involved Lloyd and Wayne performing their hit song titled "You"
The way his heart was feeling, Angelo didn't want to see it through. He checked his phone for messages from Nashea. Gelo sent her ten last night. All went unanswered and was stuck on "delivered" She blocked him again. Throwing his head back against the headrest, he rolled the window down. "What you doing sitting out here?" Rasheed inquired. "It's almost noon"
Extending a hand out the window, he did his signature handshake with all three. "I just came back from the store" He told half a lie. Angelo did manage to pick up the cookie dough. It was so cold outside that there was no reason for him to hurry inside with it. The dough was still cold and edible. "Aight so bet. I got Santa Claus coming in the morning. He's an officiant in Colorado who does Christmas weddings dressed like Santa. As you can see, Wayne and Lloyd are already here. We just flew in after the snowstorm last night. Do you have the ring?"
"Yeah" Angelo stated with no enthusiasm, pulling the coat off his lap. Memories of Nashea bouncing on it instantly flooded his mind. The stain she left had dried up overnight. Just like that, all the evidence of their late night car sex was gone.
"Bruh, you getting cold feet or something?" Rasheed noticed his mood wasn't the best. Gelo just shook his head. Even though he was, he wouldn't say it aloud to him or anyone. Nashea didn't understand how dire his situation was. Christmas was bittersweet. It was a beautiful holiday, but the prelude to the final one of the year. New Year's Eve. He only had seven days left of the year to make a critical life decision. His heart wanted to marry Nashea. She was the only girl he really enjoyed with or without her clothes on. They were best friends turned lovers in college. Thus, the reason their connection was so strong. She was forcing his hand, though.
"Nah, this snow just got me tired and in a mood. Let's go inside" He picked up the bag of cookie dough, opening the door. Angelo made sure to lock the vehicle as they headed into the cabin. Unique and Gucci were the first faces they saw. "Oh my God!" Gucci raced over with her arms opened for Wayne. "It's Weezy F. Baby and the F is for Finisher. What?" She hugged him tightly, nearly squeezing the life out of the rapper. "What're you doing here?"
