"I give her that dick when she acting up." I sang looking over at Violet who had an attitude.
"Shut up dude."
"Well tell me what's wrong." I say watching her cook me lunch  and prep for dinner.
"I'm just, ugh I don't even know." She says handing me something on the spoon to taste. Waisting no time I lick the spoon clean. Giggling Violet shakes her head at me.

"You don't even know what that was."
"I trust you not to kill me," I say throwing the into the sink. It goes clean into the dish water and I smile.
"Yummy das berry gut." I say with a silly face causing her to laugh. I loved the site of her smiling, the sound of her loud laughter is like music to my ears.
"Now what was that?" I ask turning to her.
"Hmmm?" She says looking over her shoulder.
"What was I eating fool."
"Oh, that's the glaze to the ham for dinner." She says giggling.
"Shits gone be fye! Save some for the after party." I respond licking my lips looking at her. Placing my plate in front of me she smile that smile that makes time stop.

"Zaidee."
"Yeah?"
"You don't have to marry me in two weeks." I say pulling her back to me.
"What if I want to tho?" She asked bitting her bottom lip, looking at me through her eye lashes.

"Yo, you wanna marry a nigga?"
"Kevin you know I love yo ass, but you better ask you got time." She says quickly pecking my lips and walking to check on her other food. Nodding my head I smile. Now I have to find the perfect proposal place. I already got the ring, I've had it for two years now. I spent my first million on it. Finishing up my lunch I go to my office. Locking the door I pull out the beautiful ring.

Picking up the phone I call Violet's father.
"Well well well looky here!" He laughs into the phone.
"Good afternoon Sir." I say laughing with him.
"I'm guessing it's time. Huh?" He asked but I could sense his smile.
"Tim who is that got you smile like that?" I hear Tasha, Violet's mom say.
"This Kevin, I think is finally time!" He says excitedly away from the phone.
"That means grand babies! Move let me talk." Chuckling I wait for Tasha to pick up the phone.
"Hey hey my sweet pumpkin."
"Hi momma."
"So, when's the big day?"
"I want to ask her tomorrow. So I wanted to call and see if you guys were free to come to my house for dinner to meet my family you know." I say playing with the million dollar ring set.
"Yes!" Tasha says excitedly.
"Wouldn't miss it for the world." Tim says and I chat with them a bit more before I end the call. I didn't mention that their daughter was pregnant. Not that it mattered but still that's rude. I want Violet to tell them when she is ready.

Standing I lock the ring away in my safe and exit the room. Walking in the kitchen I notice everything clean and Vi no where in site. After looking around the house I notice she's no where to be found downstairs.
"Zaidee!" I shout knowing she would answer because she hated her name.
"Why you playing. What?" She yells back and I head in that direction.
"Wanna go to the big house?" I ask.
"Tired of being in the city country boy?"
"Yes, and for what I got planned I don't need the Pigs knocking on my door because you screaming bloody murder." I reply smirking.

"Boy bye. We can after dinner." She said turning away dropping her towel.
"Keep on. You wanna go or nah?" I ask holding my goods.
"I just said after dinner, but I need to go get my car and some of my junk. Then go check on my businesses. Momma has to make sure her cash flow is in tact."
"Ight', now just bend over." I saw walking towards her.
"No, don't you dare Kane!" She says running on the other side of the room.
"What?" I ask dropping to my knees on the bed.
"Don't give me that look. I got business to take care of."
"Come er'." I say wiggling my finger at her.
"No." She says backing away.
"You know you want me to lick it Violet." I say sticking out my tongue, and playing with the diamond ring that was there. Chance was definitely right about this damn thing. I watch as she has an inter battle with herself.

Picking up her clothes, she quickly ran into the bathroom to get dressed. Chuckling I get my things and go to the guest bathroom to shower and get dress. Sitting in the den I turn on the TV to watch ESPN until she's ready to go.

"Momma!" I yell as I walk into the front room.
"Yes Kev sweetie?" My mother Kelly says popping up out of no where.
"You have to stop doing that. That's so creepy you could make noise while walking ma." I say hugging her looking down at her tiny frame.
"Whatever. I was gone call you today anyways."
"What ma what's wrong?"
"Oh nothing, I had a dream about you and some girl you were with and she was pregnant."
"What the hell," I say scratching my head.
"Momma knows honey. Momma knows. So who is she?"
"You know who she is." I say smiling.
"I do?"
"Mhmm you'll see her tomorrow. When I propose to her."
"It's Zaidee, isn't it! Oh my god Kevin James!"
"Yes ma'am momma."

After all of the screams of excitement she hugs me and tries to go call everybody but I stop her telling her I was on my way to meet with my siblings at Kash's house. Since him and India decided to have the baby here in Texas while she was taking a break from performing, they were here in town for awhile. Her and Kash still lived in California, but they visited often now.

Violet should be here any minute now. After preparing her a nice relaxing evening. I left dinner with Violet forty minutes ago, she should have been here. Pulling my phone I call her.

"Yes?" She answered innocently.
"Zaidee, where are you?"
"I had a few pit stops and get some things."
"You said you had everything, at the house." I reply frustrated.
"I had to get some Starbucks and some In-N-Out."
"Doll we just had dinner."
"Nigga what you trying to say?"
"I'm saying what I said. What else you need?" I say changing the subject off her weight.
"I'm getting some pickles, you want something shit." She said with an attitude.
"I got pickles. Ima need you to bring yo ass." I say.
"I'm coming, damn."
"Not yet." I say followed by a deep chuckle.
"Fuck you dude."
"You will."
"Better have my snacks to. Punk."
"Keep on running that little mouth of yours doll. Ima put it to work."
"Better have my snacks nigga you heard me!"
"Yo dick ready."
"I hate you."

Ignoring her I hang up and get the pickles and whatever else I can think of. I hear the garage opening walking out I go to collect her things.
"Took yo lil ass forever." I say pulling her up into my arms out of her Range Rover.
