The Gifts
It was the next day, and Liyah and Egypt were asleep when her alarm sounded. It was time for her to go to school and Egypt to go to daycare. She woke up and bathed Egypt and dressed her. Then She showered and put in her chef's uniform. She grabbed her purse and bus fare and was on her way out the door. When She opened the front door August was in the driveway leaning on a silver 2014 BMW with a giant red bow atop. He smiled and said "They didn't have any Thinking Of You cards at the store, so I got you a car instead." Liyah was shocked. "You've only known me for a few days and you've bought me a car?" said Liyah. August smiled. "Well I was thinking about how you catch the bus everywhere. A pretty lady like you shouldn't be riding on the bus with a child. These streets are far too dangerous. You need a pretty whip to match your pretty personality." Liyah was shocked. "Get in" He said. "There's more gifts." Liyah went to put Egypt in the back seat when She saw a booster seat with a giant red ribbon on top. "I think Egypt should be able to enjoy mommy's whip too." said August. Liyah put Egypt in the booster seat and she hopped in the front seat. August said "Follow the GPS." Liyah did as She was told. She drove to this restaurant with a note attached to the door. "Go get the note." said August. Liyah got the note. It read:
Roses are red, Violets are blue
I thank lord Jesus that I met you
This is clue #1 and this rose is for you
Now drive to the gym for clue#2
Liyah took the rose that was attached to the card. Then, She hopped into the car and drove to the Gym She worked out at. When She got to the gym, She saw the receptionist standing in front of the building holding a note and a box. This note read:
Liyah you are everything
I promise to love you, you are my Queen.
I promise to give you everything.
I promise to be everything you dreamed
I promise to make you happy for the littlest things
I want to be your everything
To accept my offer please wear my promise ring
You're everything I dreamed you would be
Head to Club Mansion for clue #3
Liyah opened the small Velour box with the red ribbon. Inside it, there was a 19 karat emerald cut diamond on a platinum ring with the words "To Liyah, with Love " engraved into it. She slid it onto her finger. She hopped back into her car and drove to her favorite nightclub. It was during the day, so they were closed. On the front was an envelope.
I was thinking of you so I went to the store
Your gift is behind the plant next to the door
I want you to have it, because It's you I adore
Now open the door for clue #4
Liyah reached down behind the plant, there were four shoe boxes. Four brand new pair of red bottoms, and a different watch in each shoe box. Liyah opened the door to find an easel sitting in the dark with small lights, and big cursive words written on it.
It's the final clue of the love I feel
Your heart was shattered , I'll make it heal
You're the perfect Girlfriend, and this is real
Clap your hands twice and enjoy your meal
Liyah sat the boxes on the floor and clapped twice. Suddenly the lights cut on and there was a table in the middle of the floor. August walked in, and suddenly Diona's car pulled off. "Where's Egypt?" asked Liyah. "Diona just took her to Chuck E. Cheese's for the day. I payed her $200 to spend the day with her goddaughter."
August pulled a remote out of his pocket and pressed a button. Then, the lights dimmed and the music played. The song If This World Were Mine by Luther Vandross played and August and Liyah took a seat. Then two men dressed in all white with trays came from the back. The first man bought two plates of Filet Mignon and side salad. The next man bought a bucket with a champagne.bottle & ice, and filled the two glasses. He then pulled a lighter out his pocket and lit the two candles on the table and walked away. August smiled at Liyah. Liyah said "Why did you do all of this for me. I feel special." August smiled. "That's because you are special. Liyah these past couple of days have been life changing. You bought out a part of me that I never knew I had. You make me smile. I love you and I want to spend my life with you. Even though It's been a fee days, my love is real." Liyah smiled. Suddenly her phone rang. She went to answer it when August took it and turned it off. "Don't worry about anything else right now. Just enjoy your meal and relax.
They ate and August put Liyah's gifts in the car, drove her to school, and picked her up afterwards and took her shopping again.
