“Wish you would see that the other dude…he aint me…I know you gotta another try in ya.”
(Chris POV)
After our talk this morning I understood a lot more about Sweets especially why she keeps her guard up so high and quick to defend herself. I know it’s gotta be hard trusting especially after people that’s close to you hurt you like that and I knew that feeling well. I just wanted to make the rest of our day about fun and see her happy!
Once everybody came to Auntie’s house to meet up and get ready it was time to head to my cousin Ricky’s house. He was BBQing , so I couldn’t wait to get on that! I went to my Mom’s room where Sweets was getting ready. I wanted her to wear the outfit I had got for her.
“Can I come in?” I asked knocking on the door.
“Yea.” I heard her say. When I came in she was sitting on the bed in a towel and putting lotion on her legs.
DAMN!
“Hey what’s up Beautiful?” I asked smiling at her trying not to get distracted by her towel.
“Hey you…What’s that?” She asked immediately looking at the box I had in my arms.
“Well nosey it’s for you. Happy Birthday.” I said handing it to her.
“Chris you didn’t have to get me anything.” She said smiling and starting to open the box.
“Yea I did…I wanted you to be fresh for today.” I said laughing.
“Hey I’m always fresh!” She said pushing me on my shoulder and pulling back the paper inside the box.
“Oh my God Chris!…I love it!” She said holding up the graffiti tee I had spray painted for her that said Beautiful across the front.
“I know you like art so I had it made for you.” I said smiling. “There’s more.”
“Really!” She said holding up the shorts and the shoe box. “Oh these shorts are my favorite…Are these Jordan’s, Chris you’re a mess!” She said standing up and walking over to her huge suitcase.
“Why?…You don’t like them?" I asked as I felt my heart break a little cause I had put a lot of thought into these gifts.
“Yes I do crazy just…Here.” She said giving me three boxes.
“Oh shit…We got the same J’s!” I said laughing cause they were the white Jordan 3’s.
“Yup…So you're fresh like me.” She laughed.
“Aight ok you got me…Thank you.” I said hugging and kissing.
“Wait look in the other ones.” She said.
“Oh yea!” I said laughing. I opened up the second box and it had a Jordan 23 throwback jersey and some jeans.
“Yea… Baby I love it!” I said kissing her again. “Yeah I’m wearing this right now!” I said excited!
“You're not done.” She said. I opened the last box and lifted out two Bulls fitted caps, 1 black and 1 white.
“This is perfect…Man I love all of it!” I said “Yea I’m gonna go get dressed…You got another gift but I’m gonna give it to you at the party.” I said opening the door and winking at her.
“Ok…Yea you got more too.” She said smiling. “Now go so I can get finished.”
Then it hit me that she was still in the towel so I stuck my head back in to get another look.
“GET OUT!” She said throwing a pillow and missing me.
“Ha! Ok ok I'm goin…Nice butt.” I said laughing and making a silly face.
“You Ass!” She said laughing.
“No that’s what I just saw..Ha!” I said laughing hard.
“You're so corny…Go Chris.” She said still laughing.
“You love it!” I said making another crazy face at her.
“Yes I do now go.” She said shaking her head.
“Aight I'm out…Hurry yo ass up woman!” I said closing the door.
I loved making her laugh.
Now it’s time to get fresh and make everybody mad at our party when we walk in. Then I thought oh shit I need a haircut! Let me find KJ then it’s on.
Me and My Girlfriend…
