We pulled up to Naomi's house that looked like it was already filled with people.
"Chris look, you made us late." I said.
"It was worth it though." Chris said smirking and kissing me.
"I had to change twice because of you." I said getting out of the car.
"I told you we should have just stayed home." He said getting out of the car and wrapping his arms around my waist and kissed my neck. I smiled.
"No. It's Naomi's birthday and plus I want to be able to walk tomorrow." I said laughing. He laughed and smacked my ass and kissed my cheek.
We walked into the house. the dinner was mostly Naomi's family and people from the hospital.
We walked into the dinning area where almost everyone was already seated.
"Nessa!" Naomi said. I walked over to her and took the seat next to her.
"Why are you guys so late?" she whisper yelled.
"It was Chris' fault." I said. she looked at Chris.
"What?" he asked not hearing our conversation.
"Why were you guys so late?" she asked. Chris smirked.
"I was fucking my girl." he said. both of us looked at him.
"What? you asked." he said. Naomi phone rang and she excused herself from the table. August came in and sat in Naomi's seat. he was tapping and shaking.
"Aug, what's wrong?" I asked.
"Nervous." he said. I looked at him confused. he pulled a box out of his pocket and showed me a ring.
"Danm August." I said shocked.
"You should go outside and catch some air, before you pass out." I said.
"Good idea." he said getting up and tapping Chris to follow him. Chris kissed me and followed him outside. Naomi came back.
"Come with me." she said. I got up and followed her into the kitchen. she handed me the phone. I looked at her confused.
"Hello?"
"Hey Beautiful." Noah's voice said.
"Noah." I said.
"How are you? I'm a little hurt I havent heard from you in a while." he said. I smiled.
"I've been good. Happy Birthday."
"Thanks. How you holding up with you know... the baby?" he asked.
"So you know."
"Naomi told me." I sighed.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you that yourself."
"Don't you apolagize." he said.
"But look I have to go. give everyone hugs and kisses for me." he said.
"Ok." I said then heard the phone click. I handed back to Naomi.
We walked back inside and sat at the table. We ate and talked.
"Where's August and Chris?" Naomi asked. I looked around.
"I don't know. Let me go check" I said standing up. I walked out to the back door and the sent of weed hit me.
"Oh hell no." I said sliding the back door open. I found August and Chris in the backyard.
"What do you two think you're doing?" I said with my arms folded.
"You told me to get some air. So I'm getting some air." August said showing me the blunt. Chris laughed as I slapped my forehead.
"I meant fresh air." I said knocking the blunt out of his hand and stepping on it, putting it out.
"Hey!" They said in unison.
"Go to the bathroom wash your face and pull yourselves together. Both of you." I said turning to walk away.
"And if you relight that blunt I'll burn you both with it." I said going inside.
After a while they both came inside . Chris sat beside and tried to kiss me but I moved, he looked at me funny but then he caught on.
August sat in the side of Naomi and whispered something in her ear. She smiled then looked confused. August stood up.
"May I have everyone's attention please." He said.
"He's doing it." Chris said with a smile.
"Naomi, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on. From that night you walked into Chris' house I thought 'Damn,shorty have to me mine'" he said gaining a few laughs.
"And even though it was such a horrible event that brought us so close together, I don't regret a moment of sitting up at 1 am in the hospital with you. And now you are blessing me with baby." He said smiling.
"I want you to know you are nothing less than a queen, and only deserve to be treated like a queen." He got down on one knee.
"That's why I am asking you to be my queen. Now I know you said you didn't want nothing fancy but," he pulled the ring out of his pocket and opened it.
