I turned off the stove and headed upstairs to Zay's room.
I shook him. "Zay."
"What?" He mumbled.
"Happy Birthday big bro." I said.
"Happy Birthday to you too Nia."
"I made us birthday breakfast." I said and he literally jumped making me laugh.
"Fahreal?" He asked.
"Yes fat ass." He kissed my forehead and then headed down the stairs with me following behind him.
"Awww look at my little sister playing chef." He said looking over the food. I made eggs, cheese grits, chocolate chip pancakes, bacon, sausage, and hash browns.
Every year for our birthday, either he'll cook for me or I'll cook for him. Considering he cooked for me last year, I decided to cook this year. The perks to having a twin.
"Yeah whatever." I chuckled. I grabbed a plate and put food on it. Zay did the same and then joined me at the table.
"Oh my gosh Zay, we're 17. We gettin old." I said.
"No nigga YOU gettin old. I don't age."
"Shut up retard." My phone started to ring and I looked down to see that it was Amiyah.
"Hey Miyah!" I yelled into the phone.
"Happy Birthday boo!" She exclaimed.
"Yeah happy birthday Nia! Tell Zayon I said happy birthday to him too." Fal yelled into the phone. I put the phone on speaker.
"Hol up hol up hol UP! Miyah how you gone call her before you call me." Zayon said. "And thank you Fal."
"I did call you. Twice." She said. He checked his pockets and stuff.
"Oh my phone upstairs. You forgiven baby." He told her and she laughed.
"What time are y'all coming over here?" I asked.
"Around 1." I looked at the time and it was only 11:32 in the morning.
"Okay. See you then boo." I said then we hung up. Dre sent me a text saying happy birthday and all that. Cymiere called me so I talked to my baby all this morning and Jai'Anna slow self. Oh my gosh. This girl sent me a text saying,
"Happy birthday Yada Yada Yada ! Now about your present. I was thinking that we should make up a new thing where you would get me something instead of vice versa you know change it up a bit and be different. Oh and where the cake at homie?!" I kid you not.
I was finishing the rest of my food when the front door opened. My head shot towards Z. He had the same expression. We heard footsteps approaching the kitchen and Z inched towards the kitchen drawer where he kept his gun. He has about 3 that are all registered. My dad insisted but my mother didn't really approve.
Then they entered the kitchen. The very last people I expected it be.
"Ma?" Z asked confused.
"Daddy!" I exclaimed as I jumped out of my chair and ambushed them with hugs. Yes I was crying. I missed them without a doubt.
"Happy birthday baby." My mother said.
"What are you guys doing here? I thought that y'all were going to be in Taiwan on business for a while." Zay said as he hugged our parents also.
"We were but we finished early. We also decided to try to do most of our business from home now. I missed you two. We've been so caught up with our jobs that we started paying little to no attention to you. I'm so sorry. And Zayon go put that gun back!" My mother said and Zayon walked away to put the gun back into the kitchen drawer.
