If Only You Knew

Will You

December

Lester's POV

Christmas music played softly through the speakers as I watched Lee walk up from the basement stairs, leading a tour for our guests.

"Damn, girl!" Ariah exclaimed with an impressed look on her face. "This house is nice as hell, why so many bedrooms though?"

"We gone need the room." I crept up behind my girl, wrapping my arms securely around her waist as I pecked her cheek.

It was Christmas Eve and we were finally hosting our housewarming party. Three months ago we moved into a lovely 5-bedroom home right outside of town. To be honest, I wasn't for having a party at first, but I wanted to flex.

She turned to me looking radiant in her little red skirt and white long-sleeve with matching boots. Her hair was pulled back into a ponytail that flowed beautifully down her back. Too bad it wouldn't last past tonight. "You look beautiful."

"Thank you, pookie." She wrapped her arms loosely around my neck. "So do you."

We got so lost in each other's eyes that I had damn near forgotten about the party until I heard that loud irritating voice.

"I hope we're not too late!" Aniyah yelled as she entered the open kitchen with Zay following behind her.

They had both been here multiple times already so there was no point in a tour. And they was late as fuck! On account of everyone here having families and last-minute things to do for the night, we would be wrapping up here in maybe a hour.

"Where y'all been?" I gave my nigga dap as the girls hugged each other like they didn't see one another two days ago when Aniyah did Lee's hair.

"Somebody didn't know what to wear." He snickered as he tilted his head towards his girl.

"This isn't inappropriate is it?" Aniyah gave an anxious look as Lee studied her outfit.

She wore a pair of light jeans with little red bows all over and a red corset top with custom red dunks. Her hair was in a bob with a red bow in it as well. She looked Ight.

"Inappropriate for who?" Lee chuckled waving her off. "We're all grown here."

"The twins ain't here?"

"No, they are." Lee clarified. "You didn't see them in the living room?" She pointed.

"Girl I'm drunk I can barely see you!" The two cackled.

"Oh my god, c'mon!" She ushered her friend into the other room leaving me and Zay to talk.

"Aye that yo new whip outside, gang?" He inquired about the all-black Land Rover parked out front.

"Yep." I gave a smug grin before sipping from my champagne glass. "You like it?"

"Hell yea, you doing big things! So that new promotion must be something nice." He rubbed her hands together.

"Nigga!" I exclaimed. "It's been amazing. Them lil niggas that work for me? They WORK! Ion gotta lift a finger no more, me and Landin just check in every day but for the most part, them muthafuckers been getting to it."

"That's how it is at the shop." He nodded in agreement. 

"But speaking of, where that nigga Landin at?"

"In the basement smoking, cmon." I lead him deeper into the kitchen and down the carpeted steps leading into our fully furnished basement.

This was me and Lee's dream home and I was beyond proud that I could provide it for us at only 24 years old. It was a two-story with 5 bedrooms, 4 and a half bathrooms, and a fully furnished basement that I fell in love with. I had it all decked out with my man cave, a playroom for the kids, a full bathroom, and a gym for Lee.
