DISCLAIMER: Before I start this chapter, I want start off by paying tribute to the victims, who have lost their lives of the Orlando Shooting on June 12, 2016. Fifty people, including the perpetrator were killed and fifty three victims were wounded at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, FL. The Orlando shooting is one of the most deadliest violence against the LGBT community. May God bless the victims' families/friends and may the victims rest in peace.
Jaelyn's POV
Good morning, peoples! Do you want to know why I am jocund is because- Today is my twenty sixth birthday! And Trisha gives me a day off because we want to celebrate my birthday by hanging out with Ms. Tessa and our friends.
I start the day by brushing my teeth, washing my hair with just a conditioner, especially washing my body in the shower. After taking my shower, I towel dry my hair and cover it with a plastic shower cap as I use a blow dryer all over the place at my head for twenty minutes.
8:45 AM
Subsequently, I straighten my hair and get down on my knees to pray. I clap my hands together, close my eyes, and bow my head down to my hands.
"Dear God, thank you so much for blessing me to see another day for me to see myself turn twenty six years old today. Lord Jesus, tonight is my first time experiencing an intimate moment with Danny and I know when I was a teenager, I promised you that I will never commit sexual immorality as a teenager and never let the devil invade my mind, heart, soul, words, and actions. When I was a teenage girl, people used to criticize me for formerly being a four hundred pound bully, who never has sex. And that's because I'd rather settle for abstinence instead of being licentious. I must really thank you for bringing Danny, Trisha, Randall, Ms. Tessa, Jackson, Iris, Lucas, and Mr. Stanley into my life and preserving my life in a healthy condition as a plus size woman. I will never abort you out of my life because I need you forever in my life. How could a person be whole without religion? All people need religion to turn to you for comfort, discussing their problems, and whatever we sing; we pray for our problems and diseases to beat it, in Jesus' name I pray. Amen." I pray as I open my eyes and stand up.
Someone knocks on my door. "Come in!" I yell. The door spreads open to reveal Cousin Michelle carrying a paper shopping bag in her hand and Saran wrap over her hair. "Happy birthday, Cousin Jaelyn girl!" Cousin Michelle trills.
She passes the bag to me and I pull the party tissue papers out of the way to discover a jar of coconut oil, a two piece lingerie, vanilla brown sugar body care, five Prince CD's, and a knee length chiffon robe. I look through the albums and they are; Diamonds and Pearls, Lovesexy, 1999, Controversy, and Purple Rain.
"Thank you, Cousin Michelle, girl!" I reply and swathe my arms around her back for a hug. I have a few Prince songs on my iPhone on my way to and from school in my high school years. When I was in high school, I had my first car to have Pandora Radio installed in my car.
"So... what will you be doing since it's your birthday today" Cousin Michelle asks me.
"Hmm..." I hum, "Well, I'm considering that after Trisha and I have a birthday shopping spree, I could watch Fifty Shades of Black." I contemplate. "Oh, my gosh! I was thinking the same thing! Critics are soooo vapid for writing acrid reviews about the movie! Parodies are supposed to be funny! Marlon is bringing comedy back, the Wayans Bros way! Critics are so judgmental nowadays, dawg! They need to remember the 'good comedy' comedians/comediennes enlighten everybody. My gosh! And Ana needs to eat for real! I don't give a fuck if I give her a finger lickin' meal from Kentucky Fried Chicken as her wedding gift. I mean, she hasn't eaten shit in the movie and the book! If I was cast as Ana in Fifty Shades of Grey, I'd be, like, 'Dude, you don't need to tell me to eat; I eat all the time just like my female cousins just to fulfill your satisfaction.'" Cousin Michelle jokes.
