Karmen Harris

Tomorrow is the day I have been waiting for my whole college years I finally made. There is absolutely nothing that can ruin my day today not even my mother. Every since the little incident with shawn and I she has barely said a word to me. Daddy, however loves his little princess oh so much he is going to let me have a graduation party back home in Charlotte. I suspect that he knows nothing bout that night because if he knew I'm pretty sure he would be just as pissed. But unlike mommy daddy can't stay mad at me forever like she can so either way it goes I'm good. Shawn however has been texting me and calling me nonstop at first I wasn't answering but one day coming home from class I open the door to my apartment and there he stood in a suit looking handsome as ever. There was rose peddles everywhere lit candles and my kitchen table was set for the two of us. There was lit candles and a nice steak dinner with crab legs on the side. He must've remembered bitch love to eat and he got my favorite drink some hennessy on rocks to side.

" follow the rose pedals baby"he said following behind me

Still speechless I just follow his command and walk to my room. Opening the door to my bedroom there was a beautiful Versace dress. with matching Versace heels. Weirdly, my bathroom door open and out comes Tasha. "why are you in my room once again" I asked her laughing and shaking my head

"Sorry I'm about to leave just needed to use your eye liner Chris is taking me out tonight but enough about me how you like the gifts and things your man just did" Tasha said smiling all big

"Its cute he never did anything like this for me" I admitted

" I know he came banging on the door earlier after you left for class talking about let him in. I slams the door in his face because I knew you wasn't talking to him at the moment. Then this nigga had the nerve to tell me if I didn't let him in he would kick the door down. Me being me I'm thinking he joking until this nigga actually started kicking hard as shit. He had all the neighbors out watching and laughing he still didn't give a shit. Finally i gave in an open the door to let him in. So just beware bitch you got a crazy one on your hands" she said laughing at Shawn crazy behavior

"Yes clearly I know how to chose them." I said sticking up for my boo. Tasha left me to get dress and to do my hair and makeup I can't even lie and say I'm not impress right now. While I was getting dressed I heard a knock on the door and the door opened. So I knew Tasha must have let him in.

Walking out with a little strut because I know he was watching me. As we began to make eye contact he starts licking his lips then hands me a bouquet of white and red roses that I didn't notice before.

"You look gorgeous baby I just can't stop staring at you" Shawn said watching me in amazement

"Thank you Shawn you look handsome yourself I must say. But why are we dressing up like we going out somewhere when we are just eating at my kitchen table " I said realizing we was having dinner at my place

"Karmen don't ruin the moment just go with the flow baby. Plus I wasn't sure if you was gone accept everything and meet me at a restaurant so I decided to do it here so I know I have all your attention." Shawn admitted

" yes I can't say I would have accept it myself you can't buy my love Shawn." I told him truthfully

"And I am not trying to Karmen...I meant every word I said to you the other night, you are my heart and soul girl...My life has not been the same since you left I felt like I was missing a piece of me. Karmen I love you with everything in me" Shawn said grabbing both of my hands and getting down on one knew, I couldn't help the tears that started to fall
