"Wake up sleepy head ." I heard Jasmine voice smacking my butt . "Bitch ." I groaned into the pillow grabbing the other one smacking it upside her face . "HOE !" She screamed hitting the floor making a loud thump . I busted out laughing at her trying to get up . "I don't see how Jay haven't jacked yo ass up already ." She mugged me walking to the bathroom . "Get up . Brandy and Layla coming over so we can have a girls day out ."

"What's the important event ?" I asked walking into the bathroom where Jas was at . "Every year we have a special dinner as a family . We can bring one guess and we eat with our dad best friend and he would talk to us and stuff . It's this fancy restaurant full of fine ass niggas and girls ." She described picturing the event . "Put this on . We are going to get our hair , nails , and find a outfit to wear ." She put out a black Adidas sweatsuit that matched her red one she had on . After ten minutes I was dressed and ready to go .

"This is cute ." Jasmine said holding up a red dress that had diamonds and cuts on both side of my stomach . "Now you know I'm too damn big for that ." I laughed at all the opening on the side of the dress . We had already got our hair and nails done and now we was looking for me a dress . "It go perfect with your nails and bomb ass makeup I'm going to do ." Layla said handing me the dress to try on . Rolling my eyes I took it out her hands walking over to a dressing room . Closing the door behind me I took off my clothes leaving myself in only my purple panties and bra to match . Slipping the dress on , I zipped it up in the back fixing the sides so the slits would be on my sides and not down to my butt .

The dress showed every inch of my curves as it reached down to the ground . Opening the door all three of them was in amazed . "Damn girl ." Brandy said walking up to me putting the tag in the inside . "How much is it ?" Layla asked going through her purse . "Five hundred . Look it's too much just to only wear it for one night ." I said getting ready to walk back into the room . "We got you Angel . Don't worry we getting the dress for you . Hurry up so we can go it's getting late ." Jas said making me stop . "You don't have - ." She gave me that look making me walking into the room to unchanged . Once I was done they paid for the dresses so we could leave . "Thank you ." I said putting our bags into the trunk getting into the back seat . "You good . Now let's do this makeup so we can get ready to leave ." She smiled cranking the car up backing out .

"Do this look nice ?" I questioned standing in the body mirror fixing my tie . "Yes boy now here put this on ." Mom said handing me some chap stick . Putting it on Quan , King , Ace , and Troy came into the room all dressed up . "Look at my big cousin looking all daddyish ." Troy said licking his lips laughing . "Hell no stop with that gay shit ." I said squaring up . "I'm just messing with you nigga ." He said pushing my shoulder . I forgot to mention King is Troy's big brother . King and I are the same age while Troy is twenty - three . Ace and I go way back to diaper days , like he's my main nigga and if something go down he got my back all day . "Watch your mouth ." Mom said walking over to her dresser putting on her pearls on . Looking at my watch , it was already six .

"Aye we need to get going ." I said rolling my sleeves down . They agreed walking out the room . "I'm so proud of you baby ." Mom smiled tearing up . "Awe Mom ." I laughed bringing her into a hug . "Awe ." Jas pulled out her phone taking a quick picture . "Stop crying Mom ." Wiping away her tears she nodded walking out the room following behind King and Ace .

"Where is this nigga ?" We been sitting down for like ten minutes and he already wondering where Lance at . Lance was my dad best friend . I lowkey think Mom and him got a little thing for each other . I can't even be mad because Dad passed away twenty years ago and she haven't messed around with anyone . Not that I think of . "He might got tired of yo nagging ass for once ." Renee , King's wife said rolling her eyes . "You need to be quiet before I fuck yo ass up ." He barked back as they started arguing back and forth . This is the main reason I can't take these hooligans anywhere with me . "Jesus take the wheel ." Zalina , Ace's girl said looking up . I could tell she was getting tired of this mess just like everyone else . "Hoe I would come cross this table and knock some sense into yo head ." Renee mugged her crossing her arms .

"Bitch it's whatever I'll bust a couple rounds in that ass ." She barked back standing up from her chair mugging back . Renee stood up trying to size Zalina up . "Both sit ya'll ghetto ass down somewhere with that shit . Damn can't take ya'll no where ." Ace said tugging on Zalina arm making her sit back down . He whispered something in her ear making her frowned then put a big kool-aid smile on her face biting her lip a little . They are so nasty . "There go my main niggas ." Lance voice made all of us turned to see him walk in . "What's up man ." Troy and King got up from the table daping him up . Ace and I gave him a quick head nod before he took a seat beside my mom . "How are you my darling ?" He kissed Mom hand as she began to turn red in the face . "Fine . Lance ." She tired to speak out before he put her hand down .

"Who are the new friends ?" Lance asked looking across the table at Angel and them . "This is my girlfriend Brandy ." Jas wrapped her arm around Brandy making her blush and giggle . "Nice to meet you beautiful ." He said giving her a warm smile . "This is my girl Angel ." I said placing my hand on Angel thigh making her look from her fingers . Her face looked sad like something was on her mind . Lance cleared his throat getting our attention again . "Nice to meet you princess ." He smiled at her quickly looking away from her . Something way up and I was going to find out what it is . "Who's ready to eat ?" He asked standing up from the table snapping his fingers as like ten waitress and waiter came out with food .

"What happen next ?" King asked as Lance talked about the first time Dad and him went to jail together . "It was pure hell . This big nigga named KO2 would always mess with us and take our food ." He rolled his eyes like he could picture everything . "Why did they call him KO2 ?" Layla asked as she laid on Troy chest . "Because his Dad nickname was KO , they both was big as fuck and his punches were so damn powerful every time they would knock you out ." We listened for the next twenty minutes of him talking about Dad him together before I decided it was time to ask . "Excess me everyone ." I said standing up from the table putting down my cloth onto the table . "Ya'll know I'm not with that romantic shit but I want to thank Angel for being with me through everything . If you didn't know she was my lawyer for that bitch ass nigga murder and she won it for me , even when we didn't like each other . Your everything I want and need in life ."

I got down on one knee making her scream fanning herself . "Angel Jamie Smith . Will you marry me ?" I smiled opening the box showing the ring . "YES ! YES ! YES JAY I WILL !" She cried getting down on the floor hugging me . Helping her up I slid the ring on her finger . "I see you girl . He got money ." Layla said . I laughed looking back at the boys clapping and cheering me off . "I love you ." She mumbled pulling my face to hers kissing me . I never felt like this before and it felt good .
