"Good morning my love."
"Morning sunshine." I softly answer my boyfriend's greeting.
"Is my love well rested?"
"Her soul is. She's not sure about her body tho." I chuckle and he joins in.
"I love you." He says caressing my cheek.
"You already said that like a thousand times." I say softly enjoying his touch.
"I know and I won't stop saying it till the day I die. Even then my spirit will continue whispering it through the wind."
"Oh Christian. What have I done to deserve you?" I say as my eyes start watering.
"You made my life worth living. You've been my friend for as long as I can remember. My only friend when everybody else pushed me away. You accepted me as I am and even shared your mother with me, because I lost mine. We've had our fights and all, but never once did you make me feel like the orphan I actually am. You're my everything Yelle. My world. My dream."
His words render me speechless and I can't think of anything better than scooting closer to him and wrapping my arms around his torso as much a that's possible in a lying position. My head is on his chest and I'm listening to the sweet rhythm of his heart.
"Today is mom's birthday. We didn't plan anything for her." I say.
"I ordered a big chocolate cake and bought some of her favourite wine. So I think that'll do."
"Thanks. I didn't even think of that. What time is it?"
"It's 6:17 am. You think she'll be up already?"
"6:17 am? Did we sleep at all?" I chuckle. "I don't think she's up yet. Wanna go boil her an egg?"
"Or we could just make her a full breakfast in bed." He suggest.
"Yep let's do that after we shower. I'm gonna make sure she stays in bed and you hit the kitchen." I grin.
"Like I didn't know you'd leave it all in my hands." He says rolling his eyes.
We shower together and do as we planned. He goes into the kitchen and I walk towards my mother's room. I slowly open her door and walk in. She's still asleep with her hair all over her pillow and in her face. She looks flawless.
I sit down on the chair and unlock my phone. I post a picture she and I took a few days ago on Facebook wishing her a happy birthday in my caption.
I scroll through my timeline and see hundreds of birthday wishes for her. Chris also posted a beautiful picture of her. He did it exactly at 12am,so his is the very first.
My mom rolls over in her bed and I look up from my phone. It looks like she's about to wake up. I put my phone down and climb into the bed.
"Morning baby." She says with a sleepy voice without opening her eyes.
"Happy birthday mama." I say putting my arms around her and my face buried in her neck.
"Today's my birthday?" She asks confused for a second, but then she smiles right after. "Of course it's my birthday. Thank you honey." She says hugging me tight.
"Forgot your own birthday?" I giggle.
"No, that's not it. My brain was still sleeping I think."
"You got any plans for today?" I ask her.
"No, not really. Jamal invited me to his birthday party, but I'm not sure. You wanna go?"
"Aah yeah. Today is his birthday too. If you want to I'll join you. He's my friend after all. So why not?"
"Okay great." She says at the same moment the door opens and a couple of voices start singing happy birthday.
Megan, Sean and Drew walk into the room followed by Chris who's carrying a tray of breakfast.
"Oh my God. Thank you so much guys. This looks amazing." My mom says after we finish the song.
"Okay open up." Chris says holding a hard boiled egg in front of her face.
"I haven't brushed my...hmm."
Before she finished her sentence Chris stuffed her mouth with the whole egg."You're supposed to eat it like that for good luck." He laughs as my mom struggles to chew it all.
"Aunty Alex your hair is a mess." Drew exclaims out of the blue.
"Y'all get out of my room." She says laughing.
After making it a fun day together by eating cake, drinking wine, watching tv, dancing and playing games we decide to go to Jamal's party.
From outside it looks lit. Not the messy "frat party" kind of lit though.
"I'm having second thoughts about this." My mom says as we get out of the car. Keith our new driver drives off to park the car as Pablo walks in with us.
"It'll be fun. Stop trying to be the party pooper." I say.
"Whatever. I won't stay long tho. Drew will miss us. Remember she's not used to babysitters." She replies.
"Mom Cordelia is not a babysitter. Besides Drew knows and loves her. She'll be okay."
"Oh my God. You came!" Jamal nearly screams when he sees my mom.
"Yeah she did and so did I and Chris and Megan and everyone else." I say rolling my eyes.
"Stop being so jealous Chan. Happy birthday darling." My mom says handing him a gift bag.
"Thank you so much." Jamal says taking it from her. "Follow me."
He takes us to a nice spot accros the room where we sit down.
"I want you guys to meet someone." Jamal says and walks away. After a few minutes he comes back with a girl, holding her hand. "This is Eleanor. My girlfriend. Elly these are my friends and umm..."
"Miss Righters. I've heard a lot about you." Eleanor says and sticks her hand out to my mom following with the rest of us. She's a beautiful girl and looks kind of mixed. Thank God she's not as shy as Jamal, cause that'd be really awkward.
My mom stayed for about an hour and then she said she was going somewhere with John.
Jamal's party was loads of fun. He didn't keep it too late, because he had to travel early in the morning. So by 11:00 pm we were already leaving.
"Don't you think Sean and Megan are...." Chris starts, but stops immediately when Megan wraps her arms around him from the back.
I look at him and he mouths "later." So I nod.
"Let's go guys." Sean says putting his arm around Megan's shoulders and pulling her close before kissing her on her forehead.
