Two months later...
Danny's POV
"Come on, Jaelyn!" I groan after doing twenty eight crunches on the exercise ball.
"Nope! You've got about, twenty more reps until you answer my question." Jaelyn retorts and taking a bite of a Twinkie. Right now, Jaelyn and I are in the gym of her apartment and are playing a game to know each other.
"What is your favorite color?" Jaelyn questions. I raise my back from the ball to plant a kiss on her lips. Our lips synch with a slow rhythm while our hearts accelerate with the same pace. I break the kiss and answer, "Gray and indigo blue." I cup my hands on her cheeks and kiss her again.
"What is your favorite color?" I ask Jaelyn.
"Peach, yellow, and plum." My sexy curvy fidanzata answers. "Who is your favorite singer?" She asks.
"My favorite singers are Frank Sinatra, the Rolling Stones, Queen, David Bowie, Jill Scott, Kanye West, Nat King Cole, Beyonce, Pharrell Williams, Justin Timberlake, Jay Z, Michael Jackson, the Temptations, Robin Thicke, Smokey Robinson, Babyface, Toni Braxton, Aaliyah, Black Eyed Peas, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway, the Weeknd, Rick James, Teena Marie, the Clark Sisters, Marvin Gaye, Kirk Franklin, Mint Condition, El DeBarge, and Pitbull." I respond. Jaelyn raise both her eyebrows and gives me her signature, 'Are you for real, for reals,' look. Her humorous personality will be the death of my interpersonal tragedy. "My white chocolate fidanzato likes his R&B Soul!" Jaelyn smirks and snaps her fingers. This lady of mine! "Who are your favorite singers" I ask her.
"Well, some of my answers are similar and longer than yours. Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, CeCe Peniston, Aaliyah, the Jones Girls, the Clarks Sisters, Selena Quintanilla Perez, Aaliyah, Mariah Carey, Toni Braxton, Faith Evans, 702, the Runaways, Rick James, the Mary Jane Girls, Jennifer Lopez, Tamela Mann, Justin Timberlake, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Lady Gaga, the Spice Girls, Beyonce, Shakira, Christina Aguilera, Celia Cruz, Hector Lavoe, Luther Vandross, Teddy Pendergrass, Sylvester, INXS, Nsync, Backstreet Boys, TLC, Tamar Braxton, 3LW, Minnie Riperton, Teena Marie, Lil Kim, Late Night Alumni, Pharrell Williams, Daft Punk, Lana Del Rey, Robin Thicke, Mandisa, Jon B, Mariam Evans, Britney Spears, Pitbull, Rita Ora, Chayanne, and lastly, Xscape." Jaelyn replies.
"Wow! That is a long list of singers you adore, my divertente ragazza comico." I laugh before she joins with me. We perform forty eight crunches together and head back to her apartment.
Once we are in the living room of her residence, Jaelyn and I are letting our lips cling to each other with a passionate rhythm of our love just as Luther Vandross is crooning through the speakers of the T.V. My arms snake around her waist and I feel her arms swathe behind my neck. Her body clings to mine, causing my hands to grip onto her waist. Her lips disappear and I open my eyes to see my giocherellona fidanzata voluttuoso biting her bottom lip.
"So, Jaelyn, for Valentine's Day, I'm thinking about having your family and my family enjoying our Valentine's Day weekend at the Crystal Springs Resort in New Jersey, including Kendra and your Cousin Michelle. And check this resort out!" I mention, handing Jaelyn the brochure of the New Jersey resort. "Oh, my goodness!" Jaelyn gasps. "Danny! Of course! When are we going?" Jaelyn questions.
"It depends on the children's schools closing-" My ringing phone cuts me off. Sighing, I pick it up to my ear and answer, "Hello? This is Danny speaking."
"Iris and Violet's school is closed for the holidays next Thursday until February 24th as well as Paige's." My sister, Trisha announces. How does she know?!
"Because you kept your phone on." Trisha adds. "And, Danny, can you put Jaelyn on the phone? I have good news to share!" Trisha asks. I hand my phone to Jaelyn and remind her Trisha wants to talk to her. "Hey, Trish!" Jaelyn exclaims. "Your brother and I are listening to Luther Vandross on Pandora." She giggles. An exclamation escapes from her mouth and her hand pats on top of mine. "Oh, my goodness! When? Today?! Okay, you got it, Trisha! Thank you! God bless you!" Jaelyn cries and returns my phone to me. "What was the good news?" I inquiry.
"Your sister, Trisha called me that the photo session will happen today at the Space-4-Shoots at about two o'clock and she wants to include you with me with some of the photos!" Jaelyn mentions. I hold her hands into mine and we thank God that we're gonna participate for the Plus Size Magazine photo session and our two month relationship.

2:00 PM
Jaelyn and I are at the photo session and there are racks of clothes on one side and the other in the other side. Trisha greets the both of us before the hairstylist and the makeup artist prepare her hair and face. Me, on the other hand, needs to change. Electronic music is playing from the stereo while we are getting prepared for our pictures to be taken. Jaelyn comes into the room with fuller thick hair in waves and wearing a fit and flare coral dress without sleeves with deep red ombre lips and soft neutral pink eye shadow. La mia mamma mia! My amica voluttuosa looks whimsical with her spring spirit mood in that dress she's wearing.
"Ready to do this Photoshoot?" Jaelyn queries to me.
"Let's do this!" I say.

Jaelyn's POV
Following an hour of the photo session for the March issue of Plus Size Magazine, Trisha, her husband Jackson, Iris, Danny, and I return to my residence, eating Chinese food while we are watching Tyler Perry's Madea's Class Reunion play when Cousin Michelle enters the residence. We all turn our heads at Cousin Michelle, who has a dark red bruise on the right side of her neck. "Wassup, everybody?!" Cousin Michelle introduces.
"Hey, Michelle!" We exclaim in unison and Cousin Michelle gasps out loud. "Y'all are having Chinese food without me?!" Cousin Michelle screeches. I pick up the tray of her food and she screams with jouissance, but I hold onto the box of her food away from her. "Can you explain to me, what is that doing on your neck?" I question.
Her eyes go big and presses her finger at the bruise. "Oh! You mean, this thing here?" Cousin Michelle excuses.
"Yes!" I remind. "Oh, I got this big ol' bruise because Luke's dog is a Pug breed and I was taking a nap. And when I woke up, I went to the bathroom to find- Poof! A mark on my neck." She's tryin' it! "Girl! Luke does not have a dog!" I doubt. "Oops!" Cousin Michelle giggles and snatches her food in the box from my hands. Is she for real, for reals now? My Cousin Michelle, girl!
