Someday

Chapter Thirty-Two

"Man when you said to meet you at the café for the wedding, I didn't think you meant that I had to help set it up!" Richard complains as he sets up the tables with decoration.

"Well you have Kelly and Nichelle helping you out. I already did the hard part of cleaning the café."

"That was sweet of your aunt and uncle to close down the café early for this," Honey says arranging the flowers on the front table.

"Yeah I was really surprised that and also thankful since that gives us enough time to go To yours and Envy's place to get dress and come back here before Mya and the girls get here," I jump when I see a flash go off. "Dammit Tony!"

"What, I gotta make sure that it works," he holds the camera in his hand as he goes around taking random pictures. "Plus it would be a great addition to the albums."

"I got the jazz collection that you would usually hear at any black weddings. I would have found some music that you would hear at white folks weddings, but I never been to one before so," Richard shrugs as the music starts to play in the background.

"I don't really pay attention to what is playing when I am at a wedding. I pay more attention to when it ends and the alcohol."

"Too bad there won't be any alcohol served ," Honey says killing the mood.

"Man why not?" Envy cries just as he pulls out a box full of brown liquor .

"One because I'm nursing , two Mya's pregnant, and the four of you guys are stupid as hell when you guys drink too much."

"One the baby will sleep better during the night, two who said that she has to drink anything, and three who said that we are going to be drinking that much."

"Boy y-"

"Alright alright, shit, can we at least two cups."

"One."

"Two."

"One!"

"One and a half."

"Envy."

"Alright that settles it, we'll have three," I insert myself into the conversation taking the heat off of Envy.

"Now I'm about to beat your ass," Honey's attention was now on me like I planned.

"Honey come on it's a wedding, and not just any weddings, it's Tanner's wedding," Envy says grabbing my shoulders.

"Your right it is Tanner's wedding, not yours."

"And Tanner wants to take three shots, isn't that right?" he asks looking at me, I was about to agree until I saw the look that Honey was giving me.

"You know I think that having one shot is fine."

"That's what I thought," she smirks walking away from us.

"Girl, that is because you scared the poor boy, but that's fine. Let's go home so that we can take a shower, I can smell Tony from here."

"Nigga fuck you."

"How are you feeling?" Tom asks me as he fixes my bow.

"I'm feeling fine." No I'm not, I feel like I am about to throw up. Looking around the café doesn't look like what it usually does, which I am grateful for. The theme is simple because Mya never really talked about what she wanted her wedding to look like, or she probably did and I just paid her no mind. I just hopes that she likes the effort that we put into this.

"Alright they're here," Tony says as she comes in from the back continuing to take pictures.

"You can stop taking pictures now," Aunt Susan laughs as she puts out the last of the food onto the chaffering dishes.
