Alex
Lani should be here any minute, man I'm so scared. I wanted to do something special for her so I remade our first date since she liked it so much. The whole dinner and everything but I feel like it's all wrong.
I bought her everything she likes, from her favorite food down to her favorite songs. "Everything is right." I sighed sitting down at the top of the stairs.
"Maybe I should fix my hair." I got up rushing to the bathroom taking my hair out the elastic and putting it in a high bun.
"What if she wants to touch your hair dummy?" I groaned taking it out.
"You've worn this outfit in front of her multiple times." I mentally faced palmed myself changing my outfit. I straightened out my shorty before answering the front door.
"Alex Fernandez you got this." I dried my palms before opening the door. "Hey, baby." Lani smiled taking her shoes off and kissed me.
What do I say? Just say hi. No! That's so basic.
"Are you okay?" She looked at me and my heart skipped beats. Great! Two answers! I'm only one person! Take a deep breath and relax.
"Yeah, I'm cool just happy to see you." I smiled earning another kiss.
Smooth. Nice and smooth.
"Well, what's up? You said you have something to show me." Lani walked up the stairs stopping in her tracks.
"Surprise," I said lowly. "Baby, I don't know what to say," Lani said on the verge of tears. "What are you crying for? I thought you liked it."
"I'm not sad Alex I'm happy! Thank you." Lani kissed me then grabbed my hand sitting down across from me.
"I'm glad you like it." I smiled. "What did you do without me?" Her pearly white teeth showed as she grinned ear to ear.
"I went out with Niah and bought some stuff." I can't stop smiling!
"See, and you wanted me to drag you around all day." Lani chuckled as I rolled my eyes. "Doesn't mean I didn't miss you."
We finished eating and sat on the carpet in the living room cuddling up with each other.
"There's something very important that I want to talk about." Lani sat up turning towards me. "What's up?"
"I think we should have a baby."
I choked going into a spiral of coughs, I looked at her trying to process what she just said. "You mean the baby you carry for 9 months?"
Lani smiled nodding her head and I just didn't know what to say. I can't say no and I can't say yes. One because I'm still in high school and two I'm just not ready.
"Lani, I'm not ready for that, I mean we're still in school can't you wait two more years?"
"Of course I can wait." Lani kissed me taking a hit from the blunt. I grabbed her face taking in how beautiful she is. "Close your eyes." I smiled at how fast she did it. I'm starting to think she likes my surprises.
Pure white Hennessy.
"Alex, what is this?" She sipped from the cup at least three times before giving up."Guess." I smiled taking a sip myself. "You know I'm not good at guessing." Lani laughed opening her eyes.

"Oo baby this my song." Lani grabbed my hand making me stand up.
She sang along to Say Less by Roy Woods. I put my hands on her waist while she wrapped her arms around my neck.
