Family Ties

This Special Day

September 29,1996
Our anniversary,

Michael's POV
As I sit in the theater and looking at slidshows and some footage of me and Roberta I can't help but to get teary eyed... When we met we were in our 20's and we had the world to go drive crazy... We share so much. Secrets nobody knows, hair ties, a house, and a child. Despite the fact that we broke up we still remain best friends and now she's my wife. The other day I was looking at her pictures when she was a little girl. Nothing changed much about the little girl who was born in Bronx of New York and grew up in the outskirts of Queen's and relocated to California. Her brother must be proud of his little sister. As the staff is preparing breakfast I make my way to my bedroom, once I get inside as usual I'm in awe looking at the woman who is sleeping. Her face is turn towards me. The sheets hug her frame and her hair is in her face and on the pillow. I have a actual angel in my bed, in my life period. I go back downstairs after checking on my blessing who is sleeping still. They sleep hard depending on how late they went to bed the night before which was late. I take the tray that they have prepared and make my way to the room. I place the tray on the table and decide on when I wasn't to wake her up... That's how beautiful she is.

Me: *kisses her forhead*

Roberta : hmm

Me: good morning my love

Roberta : I'm still sleep.

She still isn't the easiest person to wake up.

Me: I know but I got you something

Roberta : what you got?

She sits up and stretch and rubs her eyes with her hair slightly messed up hahaha. That's my baby still.

Me: * takes the tray to her with our food on it * this is for us.

Roberta : oh my goodness. This looks amazing. Do you know what today is? *sings the anniversary song by Tony, Toni, Tone *

Me: hahaha it's our anniversary.

Roberta: yes sir it is. Happy Anniversary baby. I love you to pieces and back.

Me: you still have the key to my heart and I don't want it back because it's safe with you. I love you always and forever.

Roberta : forever and always.

We ate and she did her hygiene stuff and put on some jeans, a green long-sleeved shirt and a black vest with black boots underneath her jeans. She left her pretty hair down and put on her accessories while she was doing that I stopped her and took her wedding ring off.

Roberta : what are you doing?

Me: two years ago I place this on your fingers with the hope of you becoming mine forever. But it was 12 years ago that you actually became mines. Thank you for being there. You never left , changed, betray me none of that. I know I drive you crazy and believe me you drive me crazy but I rather you drive me crazy than anybody else. I love you Roberta Dakotashea.

Roberta : *wipes her tears carefully* ugh you got me crying already .

Me: baby I'm not trying to make you cry or upset. It's just these past few weeks I honestly couldn't wait to see this day. Baby we made it two years down the rest of our lives to go. We have a daughter to raise and hopefully many more to come . I just really love you soo much baby.

I put her ring back on her finger and picked her up and put her against the wall and took her lips into mines . Once I put her down she and I walked to our daughter room and played with her and hung out there. This day is just awesome and we didn't even do what they planned for us today.
