Typical (Editing)

Chapter Twelve- Milestone

|||| Part 2 ||||

|| Chapter Twelve ||

I sat at the mirror in our room. Today was our One-Year Anniversary and he was taking me out to eat.

We had a good year, of course we fought about things, but we'd always make up a few minutes later.

Te'osha had her baby. It was a girl. She named her Ashely Sakia Adams, she looked just like her parents. She had a head full of hair and a smile brighter than the future ahead of her. We called her Ash, she's about 4 months now. The new addition has Anthony so excited about babies, it's ridiculous.

I have a job now. I was interviewed after graduation like Anthony said she would, Amanda checked my records and felt that I deserved more than just an assistant intern job. She sent me to the C.E.O to be interviewed and to my surprise the man I've been living with was my boss.

I knew he worked there, but damn. He was C.E.O. I tried to keep it strictly business when he interviewed me and he respected that and did the same, but when we got home it was a different story. We joked on each other from the time we got home until we went to bed.

I can't lie Anthony was a good guy. If only it were more guys like him in the world. It has really been a great year. We hadn't had sex, yet. A whole year without it. I almost practically tried to rape him, but he put my ass in check real quick; had me calling him Daddy.

I smiled at the memory of that night. We didn't say that we loved each other a whole lot, but it was understood. I finally was able to buy me another Toyota Camry; I got it in the latest edition.

For my birthday Anthony bought the car off, without my permission. I wanted to be mad, but I couldn't. What can I say? Less bills, more money.

I needed all the money I can get. I started college in August and I haven't yet decided what I want to major in, but I do have an idea.

I walk away from the mirror and stepped into my closet. I had just got home from work. Anthony had a meeting to attend to and would be home any minute now.

I looked at dress Anthony left for me. It was folded nicely inside a black box with a white bow on top of it.

It was beautiful, Tee had to have picked it out, because I let Anthony shop for me before and it was a hilarious disaster. He knew a lot about men's fashion, but when it came to women's he was a lost puppy.

The dress was a peach-like color and it had no sleeves. It was knee length and very form fitting. I liked it, simple, yet still strikingly beautiful and it had my favorite fabric; lace. The hole dress had lace on it from the shoulders to the hem of the dress.

I walked to the bathroom smiling as I undressed. I pulled my hair up into a ponytail. It had grown, a lot and it reached a little further than the middle of my back. I recently went to the salon and got half of it dyed a light auburn color.

I turned on the shower and adjusted the temperature. Tonight was going to be romantic, I just knew it.

After 20 minutes of washing myself thoroughly, I stepped out of the shower and dried off. I wonder what I'm going to do to my hair. I don't want anything typical or predictable.

I pulled my robe on as I search through the drawer that was built in the sink. I grabbed my flat iron, curling rod, and curling wand. I heard the door close and scurried to the living room. "Any, which one?" I asked pointing to my equipment.

He chuckled and pointed to the curling wand. "That one."

"Okay, thanks." I said as I kissed him on the cheek and scurried back to the bathroom. That was taken care of, now on to makeup.

I went through my lipsticks and picked a burgundy color, and a nude pink color. Which one? I hated to do it again, but I might as well go ahead. I scurried out of the bathroom and into the bedroom to find Anthony sitting on the bed. "Sorry, which one?" I asked.

He chuckled again and pointed to the burgundy one. "I think that'll give it a pop of color." he advised.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." I said as I went back in the bathroom.

Now that all the decisions were made I began to put my makeup on. Starting with eyeliner and finishing off my look with my lipstick. I rubbed my lips together and grabbed my lotion.

After applying my lotion all over, I grabbed my dress and began to slide it on. It was a perfect fit, not tight and not loose either. I looked in the mirror and sized myself up. I looked good.

I walked out of the bathroom and went into the closet to grabbed my shoes which were the same color as my dress.

I walked back into the bathroom and cleaned the mess I had made.

Remembering I had to do my hair, I grabbed my curling wand and went into my closet and sat at my vanity mirror. I plugged the wand up and pulled my hair out of its ponytail while the wand heated up. I brushed my hair out and pulled out a medium sized section, sprayed it with heat protection spray. I grabbed the hot wand and wrapped my hair around it. I held the ends of my hair as I waited for 30 seconds so I could get a tighter curl.

I continued the process until my whole head was finished. I figure combed through the curls to separate them. I grabbed my black and gold clutch and walked out of the closet, turning the light off.

I stepped into the living room to find Anthony standing by the couch in a white button-up dress shirt and black blazer. He wore black dress pants and dress shoes.

I smiled as he looked me over, biting his bottom lip. I already knew what he was about to say.

"Damn, Ma." he grinned. There it is, the infamous catchphrase.

I laughed and walked over to him. "You look fancy."

"You do too." he chuckled. "Happy Anniversary, Babygirl."

"Thank you, same to you, Babyboy" I responded as I hooked my arms around his. "Ready?"

"When you are." he said as he walked us into the garage.

He opened my door, and I got in. He was smiling like a little kid on Christmas morning when he got in the car.

"Tonight is the night!" he said as he rubbed his hands together.

I looked at him and laughed. "For what?" I asked.

"You'll see, and I'll make sure you never forget." he said as he cranked the car up and opened the garage door. What was he even talking about?

|| Anthony's P-O-V ||

I backed out of the garage. Tonight was the night. I've waited 1 whole entire year for this. Tonight was going to be the definition of epic. I've been planning on this for several months. I made reservations at a five-star restaurant, rented us a beach house right on the coast of the gulf , and I had a another surprise that I wanted to save for the right time. We had a whole weekend together, away from home, away from work and all the drama that came along with it.

We would have the whole weekend to be together and alone. My only hope was that everything went as planned.

I glanced at her as she looked out the window, this was it. This was the girl I had been looking for all these years. Everything I wanted was in this beautiful, striving, young lady that sat next to me.

I played with the box I had in my coat pocket. Tonight is the night.
