Nicki- are y'all ready Meek?

Meek- almost

Nicki- can you stop playin with him and get ready, we have to leave this house in 5 minutes.

Meek- you not even ready

Nicki- i don't have to start the car and get him strapped in either.

Meek- I'm already done but you still in the bathroom tho.

Nicki- can you shut up and go get in the car?

Meek- who you talkin to?

Nicki- I'm not about to start with you. Just please go get in the car, I'm almost done.

Today was our anniversary so Meek was taking me out to dinner. We had to bring the baby with us because we don't really trust anybody to watch him but I didn't mind because if it wasn't for him, we wouldn't be celebrating tonight anyways.

Meek- you look pretty baby

Nicki- awww, you look nice too babe!

Meek- what time we gotta be there?

Nicki- Meeeek, how you make the reservations and not remember what time you made them for?

Meek- I forgot

Nicki- it's at 7

Meek- oh yeah

About 10 minutes later we were pulling up to one of our favorite restaurants, Zuma. I got out and Meek got the baby. He had the car seat in one hand and my hand in the other. We were looking like a cute little family tonight.

We walked in and the host took us to our table.

Nicki- this place is so beautiful.

I sat in the booth with Razah and Meek sat across from us.

Meek- you need to wake him up so he can sleep all night because we gone be busy.

Nicki- if I wake him up now he's gonna act a damn fool.

Meek- then he gone get in trouble.

I unbuckled him and picked him up out of his car seat. I kissed his little fat checks over and over until he opened his eyes.

Nicki- he's tired Meek" I whined

Meek- no he not,give him here

He pulled his phone out and turned on his favorite tv show, Mickey Mouse. He was only 3 1/2 months old but he loved watching tv. As soon as he heard the theme music he was no longer tired.

Nicki- that's a damn shame.

The waiter came to our table with a bottle of wine. This was what I had been waiting for. He poured some in our glasses and then left the table.

Nicki- stop lookin at me like that

Meek- like what?" He chuckled

Nicki- you know what you doin Meek

Meek- give me ya hand

My hand met his in the middle of the table and he kissed it before interlocking our fingers.

Nicki- I love you

Meek- I love you too

We starred passionately into each others eyes as if we were the only ones in the room. We finally snapped out of it and turned our attention back to our menus.
