Year two without Him

Last night all I dreamt about was the good moments I had with Giovanni. Even though Mrs. Baronet said I shouldn't be grieving as much as last year, I honestly felt the same. Of course Taylor helped the best she could but she had problems of her own, so I understood the moments when she didn't bother to ask if I was alright. Hell my fifteenth birthday is going to be here in two more days and I just can't imagine celebrating without Giovanni or my mom. All I could think about was the last birthday I was actually happy.

"Happy twelfth birthday lani!" my mom shouted while holding a tray filled with breakfast and a cupcake that had a lit candle in it.

I smiled, "Thanks mommy." I replied before blowing out the candle.

I wish I could spend the whole day with Giovanni! !

I thought to myself, "What you wished for?" she asked while sitting at the edge of my bed.

"If I tell you it won't come true," I smiled before digging in.

"Right, Well what would you like to do today lani?" she smiled.

Spend the whole day with Giovanni! !

"I didn't really have anything planned so whatever comes up I'm down," I lied.

She smirked, "I bet I know what would make your day."

I looked at her with a raised eyebrow, "What?" please say Giovanni is coming over!

"A Girls Day!" she said with a big smile.

Oh.

"OMG ! Yes, we haven't had one since I was eight." I pretended to be excited.

"Well hurry and eat so we can get going boo," she patted my thigh and left my room.

I looked at my phone and noticed I had a missed call from Giovanni, so I called back.

"Hello?" I said with a smile.

"Happy birthday gorgeous!" he yelled making me laugh.

"Thank you babe!"

"What you gone do today?" he asked.

"My mom wants to have a girls day so that's what we're doing." I said.

"Well how bout when you get home later I can pick you up and show you the big surprise?"

"I want to see you now tho," I said with a pout.

"Stop pouting baby , ima see you later. Alright?"

"Okay, Guess what."

"What?"

"I Like You" I giggled.

I heard him chuckled, "I Like You too bae, ima talk to you later."

I pouted, "Okay." I hung up and moved the tray.

What should I wear for my birthday? Maybe something simple and cute. I pulled out a nude crop top, black pants that had cuts going down the front, some black vans. Next combed my hair out. After getting my hygiene together I put my clothes on and kept my hair down. I walked downstairs to see my mama in a cute sun dress and flats.
