Just Be Patient (Urban Story)

Chapter 77: Would You Be My Valentine?

"How this look J" I said making the girls Valentines Day cookies. I had candy cards and balloons for my babies. Jason and I wanted to celebrate Valentine's Day with them because we wanted them to understand that we loved them very much and so they could see that Jason was the first man to love them unconditionally. We never ever wanted them to look for love in a man and loose themselves. Love was gonna happen for them but until then they knew daddy was the man of their dreams until Mr. Right comes along. Me and Jason was in no rush to let them go.
"They look good" he said focusing on his letter. Jason decided when Harley was 1 that he wanted to write her love letters on Valentine's Day. He wanted her to know that he was always there for her and his love ran deep for her. This year Haley was getting her first letter so he had 2 letters to write which he wanted to be perfect.
"Everything going okay with your letter babe" I said putting my spatula down going over to the table where he was. He looked so defeated.
"I can't get my thoughts to make sense on paper" he said ballin up his paper throwing it in the trash can across the room. The trash was full of paper balls.
"J relax and take your time" I said running my hands threw his waves.
"I want it to be perfect for them. I guess I'm overthinking it" I took his pen out his hand and took a seat directly in front of him. He needed to take get his mind together.
"Jason remember our first Valentine's Day together?" I said interlocking our hands as he laughed shaking his head.
"How could I forget. Shit was a mess" he said making me laugh
"No it wasn't that bad baby." I couldn't even keep a straight face. "Okay it was interesting let's just say that" I said to him. My mind couldn't help but to play back that day. That was a memory that I wouldn't forget.......

Flashback.....
I laid in bed watching romance movies and eating chocolate cake. All day on TV the theme was Valentine's Day so I was hooked. It was damn near 12am and I had been in this position all day.
"Ughhhh I love the ending of this movie" I said to myself eating my last piece of cake as Love and Basketball came to an end. I loved that movie. I grabbed my remote hitting the power button as my phone rang. I knew it was nobody but one person calling me this late.
"Yes Jason" I said picking up the phone. I knew it was Jason. He was the last voice I always wanted to hear before I closed my eyes at night. Our relationship was going well and we made it to our Valentine's Day. Something I never celebrated and not by choice.
"How you know it was me" he said referring to the fact that he called me from an unknown number.
"Cause I just know you" I said smiling hard. Hearing that voice did something to heart.
"And I better be the only person calling you this late" he said smartly as I rolled my eyes shaking my head.
"What did you call me for Mr. Thomas. I was just about to go to sleep" I said laying my head on my plush pillow.
"Oh I gotta have a reason to call my girl" he said making me laugh
"At 12 in the morning I would think so babe" I said giggling. Jason could call me at 3, 4, 5 in the morning and I would answer with no problem. That was never a question. I just really loved giving him a hard time.
"That's fucked up. What if I miss you at 2 in the morning. What I'm pose to do beautiful" he said through the phone.
"Then you just miss me. I'm not waking up out my beauty sleep to entertain you Jason." I said laughing as he sucked his teeth.
"I see how you treat me. That's cool though. But I called to ask you to be my Valentine but I guess not" I blushed hard as those words came from his lips. I know we were together but him asking made me feel special.
"I'mma have to think about that" I said out my mouth joking as my heart screamed yes. Jason was everything I wanted in a man.
"Nah it's a yes or no" he said back
"Yes J. I'll be your Valentine baby" I answered as he chuckled. Having conversations like this felt so surreal to me because I never imagined a man feeling so strongly about me. It was like a dream.
"Aight. Since you said yes come to my place at 8 tomorrow night." I was so curious to know what he had planned
"Jason what are you planning" I said getting excited
"See there you go asking me questions. Just come at 8 and find out. Now go to sleep beautiful. Good night" he said shutting me down before I even got a chance to say anything else.
"Okay I'll listen. Good night Jason. See you tomorrow night" I ended our call as I put my phone on my nightstand. I laid back down but couldn't sleep cause I was kinda excited. Never in my life did I have a man surprise me and it peaked my interest. My mind went crazy as I shut my eyes. I guess I would just have to wait and see what tomorrow had in store for me. I was so ready.
