Nothing lasts forever

Trophy

I woke up early to see Chris by my side snoring softly. I stared at him drinking in his features, his long eyelashes, plump lips, fresh hair cut, slight beard but perfectly shaped, his thick eyebrows, his diamond earring glistening from the sunlight pouring in from the balcony curtain - this man was beautiful. I was so busy admiring him that I didn't realise that he was waking up, his eyelashes fluttered slightly so I quickly yet gently lay down to pretend I was sleeping. "I know you were watching a nigga while he was sleeping", yawned Chris. "Huh? What you on about I just woke up", I smiled. "I know you weren't sleeping I've admired you too many times while you've been asleep to know that", he kissed my forehead. "Baby, you know I love you right?", I told him. "I know you do, you know I love you right?", he said. "Of course baby", I smiled kissing him, I could never get enough of those lips. "What you wearing today boo?", I asked looking in the wardrobe. "Uh I don't know, why you wanna be matching?", he said sitting up from the bed. "Yeah of course, gotta let people know you're mine", I smiled. Ever since me and Chris had gotten closer overtime more and more of his clothes have ended up in my wardrobe but it's fine because there's enough space plus it's easier for when he stays the night.  "Hey T, you wanna meet my mum today?", he asked hugging me from behind. My heart rate started to speed up and my breath quickened, he already wants me to meet his mum, what if she doesn't like me? "Uh yeah sure, I'll meet her", I smiled reassuringly trying to calm my nerves.  "I'm wearing all black today btw baby", he kissed my cheek. He went into the bathroom and as soon as I heard the shower turn on I ran across the hall to Alyssia's  door and knocked on it. "Come in", I heard her scream from the other side of the door. "He wants me to meet his mum, today", I stuttered. "Ooh yass you're in there girl, he must really love you and I know his mum will like you. You have nothing to worry about just be your normal polite, well mannered self and everything will be fine", she said hugging me tightly. "Thank you so much". I ran across the hall back to my room. I had no idea what to wear so I just flopped back onto my bed waiting for Chris to come out. "You okay babe you look stressed", Chris questioned lying next to me. "I'm good I just don't know what to wear to meet your mum", I rubbed my temples in frustration. "Whatever you wear you'll look beautiful baby, my mum will love you. I'll help you pick". He kissed my cheek and peered into the wardrobe. "Here wear this", he pulled out my black strapless jumpsuit "you can wear it with your black heels", he smiled accomplished and proud. "Alright I'm gonna go shower".

We had already eaten, washed and changed and we were now sitting in Chris's car. "You got everything?", he asked. "Yes, now let's go see your mum", I smiled weakly. The butterflies in my stomach were on a rampage, I'm usually quite good in new situations but right now I'm nervous as fuck. I leaned back in the seat inhaling deeply trying to calm myself down, Chris must of noticed how worried was because he switched on the radio and caressed my thigh, smiling reassuringly.  Childish Gambino 3005 was playing so I felt more at peace.
We pulled up to a decent sized house which I'm guessing is his mum's. I took a deep breath, adjusted my bun and stepped out the car and gripped Chris's hand firmly. He rung the doorbell and a small lady who seemed to look around early  50's opened the door smiling brightly. "Chrissy my big boy, I haven't seen you in ages, who's this beautiful lady ", she said hugging Chris tightly and shaking my hand. "Ma, this is my girlfriend", he said wrapping his arms around my shoulder. "Good afternoon Ms Stevens, my name is Tiana", I smiled politely. "Welcome Tiana to my humble abode, I've heard so much things about you please come inside", she said holding my hand and lightly tugging me into her living room. "Please take a seat". I obliged and sat down next to Chris opposite to Ms Stevens. "You have a lovely home Ms Stevens", I said admiring the beautifully furnished house. "Thank you Tiana, you may call me Mary".

Hours had passed and me Mary had become really close practically best friends. We were bussin joke all night, and we exchanged numbers. She is one of the best cooks I've ever met and she is so sweet, she made me feel like her own daughter. TT I trust you to take care of my son and let me know if he mistreats you, I'll whoop his ass", she shouted from the doorway as we were about to get into the car. "Don't worry Mary I'll keep your son in check, don't forget to text me", I shouted back waving. 
"Your mum is amazing", I smiled buckling up my seatbelt. "But I'm amazinger", he pouted. "1. Amazinger is not a word and you sound jealous - of your mum", I laughed pinching his cheeks. "I ain't jealous of anyone, and i know amazinger isn't a word but you're so fine you got me talking gibberish".

"How did it go, his mum loves you right", Alyssia said jumping on me before I could properly step through the door. "Of course she loves her, look at how adorable she is", Chris patted my head in a childlike manner. "You see! I told you she would like you", she squealed hugging me. I looked over to see Jermaine on the couch awakening from his slumber rubbing his eyes. "Who the fuck is up in here screaming and squealing I'm tryna sleep, whoever it is needs to shut the fuck up before I gotta beat some one ass", he groaned rubbing his eyes. "I wish a nigga would. I was the one screaming and squealing, what are you gonna do about it", shouted Alyssia screwing him. "I'll show you", he said standing up adjusting his clothes. Alyssia went off running upstairs screaming with delight while Jermaine ran after her. "He gon beat her ass", Chris laughed. "That ass not the only thing he beating tonight, believe that", I smirked walking to the kitchen. "And what's that supposed to mean", he said following behind me. "Well, you know they're very busy - all the time", I got a can of Old Jamaica Grape soda from the fridge and sipped on it staring at Chris trying to read his facial expression. "Busy? Busy with what? May I ask", he smirked. "I swear, you're so childish", I tapped my acrylic nails on the table top swinging my legs on the stool. "Nah nah nah just explain what you meant, elaborate please", he cheesed. "Well when I said they were busy I meant that they're you know sexually active - all the time". He laughed hard, "you looked so uncomfortable, I'm sorry baby you forgive me?", he stroked my hand. I ignored him and went back the cupboard to go get Doritos. "Aww you ignoring me", he kissed my neck. I simply just away and started eating, " what about us baby we active?", he smiled. It's not that we were active, it's just that we didn't let sex rule our relationship. "We lowkey active, it's not a bad thing". "What about Isiah? Were you guys busy?", he questioned looking down at his feet. "Since when do you care bout Isiah and whether we were busy or not. Isiah barely came near me while we were dating. We were better off as friends, why'd it matter?".  Chris was obviously a very jealous man; but he doesn't have to worry about any other man whilst I'm with him. "I just wanna know if you saw us similarly", he shrugged. "I would never compare you to Isiah".
