I'm usually the first one up in the morning sitting in the chair, watching you while you sleep. You look so peaceful and beautiful. This morning I wanted to make breakfast in bed. I go into the kitchen and begin to prepare breakfast.
Usher Good Kisser is playing over the speaker, "it's five in the morning kush is rolling while she making steak and eggs." There are a few dishes in the sink from our latenight eating habits and I wash them real quick.
I season the steak and put it in the broiler, I begin preparing home fries. I chop up some onions & peppers I cut the potatoes. Then I turn on the stove to heat up the grease I put the potatoes on. The steak is done just the way you like it, I put it in the microwave so it can stay warm. Once the potatoes are done I start making your eggs over easy. Once the eggs are finished I put everything in the microwave.
After I finished making breakfast, I go into the bedroom to wake you up. I kiss you on your forehead and run my fingers through your hair. I know that you don't like to be bothered when you're sleep. When you open your eyes you sit up on the bed you say "good morning ma." You ask me what's for breakfast? Because you can smell the aroma from the food.
I ask you if you were hungry? I know that you're not really a breakfast person you get up to use the bathroom. After you've finished in the bathroom, you come back in the room you tell me to light a blunt. After we smoke you said you was hungry. I go heat up your breakfast and make some toast, I come back in the room with your breakfast on a tray. While you was sleep I ran out to the store to buy a dozen roses. I put one of them in the small vase on the tray with your food.
After we say grace, you dip your toast in the eggs and take a bite. You lean over and kiss me, "thank you baby." I asked you what did you have planned for today? You said you was going to the salon later why? I tell you that I have a surprise for you. You say I can't keep a secret from you, I say "watch me." After we finished eating I wash the dishes then put them away.
You always want to know what kind of surprise it is. "It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you, now would it?" I go take my shower I tell you that I have some running around to do. I take my shower and get dressed. Once I've finished getting dressed I asked you what time were you leaving? You said that you was going to the bank to take out some money to get your hair & nails done.
Before I walk out the door you come behind me to lock it. You tell me to have a good day, I kiss you and tell you I'll call you later. When I get to the the train station I buy a can of Pepsi and a bag of cheez it. I get off at 125th street. First stop is the jewelry store to pick up our rings, and get your chain repaired. Then I go to Dr Jay's to buy an outfit for tonight. Next stop the supermarket, I buy some strawberries and whipped cream for later. I stop by the house real quick to put the strawberries and whipped cream in the refrigerator.
You called me after you were finished in the salon. I tell you that I was just thinking about you. You called me to tell me about your day in the salon. I asked you how was it, did you have to curse them out again? You were telling me how much you liked it and I would like it when I saw it. You ask me where was I at? "I just left the house why?" You said you were hungry. I asked you where you wanted to go to eat? You asked if we can go to Manna's on 125th St, because you have never been there and you wanted some soul food.
We agree to meet on 125th St & Lennox Ave. When we meet you have on your pink pants and your Wonder Woman shirt. You just came from the salon your hair and nails look nice. You asked me if I liked it, I tell you that you look nice, real nice in my Bernie Mac voice. We walk around so we smoke a blunt like we usually do before we go eat. After we finish smoking we walk to the buffet.
Once inside we make our plates I pay for our food , I grab two 20 oz Pepsi's out of the fridge, we sit down and say grace. I check my watch to make sure I have enough time to set up the rest of the day. When you come back to the table, I tell you we're going out to eat tonight.
