Best Friend

Lets begin again

Toni and the girls, Vince and mommy. Sat in Tamar's living room, chatting, eating, snacking.

Toni laughed as Denim came running into the living room.

"Mom come quick!" He shouted.

Toni looked at him confused, but got up anyway. Rushing towards the door, everyone followed behind, as the kids pointed up into the sky.

Fireworks.

TURN AROUND!

Toni spun around as she looked straight into Babyface's eyes. Holding back a huge smile as he came walking towards her, every step he took made her heart skip a few beats.

Her breathing heaved up. As soon as he was face to face with her, he took her hands holding onto them.

"Can we start over? From the day we met 23 years ago? The day I set my eyes on you? The day you told me your name? The day we became best friends?" Babyface questioned, as Toni let a tear escape her eye.

Nodding her head.

"Am Kenneth Brian Edmonds. But people know me as Babyface. And you are?"

"Am Toni Michele Braxton. Your even more handsome in person mr Babyface."

"And also lays down that good good!" Tamar shouted from the back. Causing the two to chuckle.

"Your beautiful."

"Well someone I know always tells me that."

"Really? You don't say. What is that particular someone's name? Do I know him?"

"Very well. They call him Kenny. But I call him Ken, my night and shinning armor." Toni threw her hands around his neck as their lips finally connected.

"At last!"

"Ewwww....!" The kids shouted chuckling.

"I got a new son in law."

"Lies mommy. You had him the whole entire time." Tamar chuckled, wrapping her arms around Vince. "Nah see, I luh em thick." She said pecking Vince's lips.

***********

"Yall just gonna sit hea and say nothing?" Tamar asked Toni and Babyface.

"Well we hea aren't we?" Toni and Babyface both said impersonating Tamar in unison.

"Yall think yall real cute for doing that. Don't cha?" Tamar pouted.

Laughing.

"So what's the next step?" Mommy asked. "Marriage?" Everyone at the table asked.

Toni looked at Babyface, as the both looked back at everyone.

"I don't-" Babyface cut Toni off.

"Definitely." He smiled, placing his hand over hers.

"Boys?" Toni questioned.

"We always loved uncle Ken. That's our best friend. Before he was yours. Okay. Maybe after he was yours. But you guys were always weird together."

"Yeah. Goals though yah know. The fact that mom yells at him for no apparent reason and he would just look at you. Crazy, but that's what made yall goals." Diezel smiled.

"Let's celebrate-"

"Me and Toni will leave than. Tamar, your keeping the boys, mama, Trina, Towanda, Vince." He dapped up Vince.

"Logan!" Toni and Babyface both said.

"We should babysit him sometime, you know together."

"I don't know about that, you two can't keep yall hands to yall selves. Am just saying. I don't want my baby ears to be scared." Tamar chuckled.

"Whatever Tamar." Toni chuckled.

"Yall go. I'll keep them. Don't forget we have breakfast at my place tomorrow." Tamar smiled reminding them.

"I won't." Toni said.

"It starts at 8." Trina says. Toni's eyes widen as she grabs Babyface hand.

"Come on Ken, we only have 8 hours!"
