The Goal Isn't To Make The Wold Happy With Who You Are. The Goal Is To Make Yourself Happy With Who You Are.

Nova sat with her legs crossed, waiting for Chris to come back from the restroom. He had been in there for a good five minutes; she was only hoping he wasn't shitting or anything.

Ew.

The two had just finished eating at Taste Of Texas, which was literally the best steak house in Houston, Nova had been plenty, while Chris had only been once or twice.

Maybe the food just wasn't settling right.

Nova thought to herself while pulling out her phone and putting her thumb print in, going to some random game to keep her busy. It was now going on seven minutes.

Maybe I should go check on him.

As soon as Nova had stood up from her seat is when Chris came strolling back to the table with his hands behind his back.

"Did you wash your hands?" Nova ask scrunching her face up while sitting back down.

Chris looks at her strangely, wondering why she thought he would wash his hands, but then remember he told her he was going to the bathroom. He chuckles knowing she probably thought he shitted or something.

Without answering her, Chris sat back down, setting the white gift bag down in front of Nova. Nova's mouth opens since she was about to criticize Chris for not washing his hands, but stops seeing the bag placed in front of her.

"Erm, what's that.....?" Nova curiously ask shifting her eyes repeatedly from Chris's smirking face to the bag in front of her.

"Open it."

Nova just stares at the bag, trying to figure out why Chris got her something. She somewhat began to feel bad knowing she didn't get Chris anything; she should've considered Aaliyah's words.

"And before you start with the, "now I feel bad cause I didn't get you anything." Chris says mocking her voice as Nova playfully rolled her eyes. "It's just a lil sum to show my appreciation....and one of the things you actually asked me for." Chris says.

"There's multiple things?!" Nova ask, her eyes going wide making Chris laugh.

"Nothing too much. Just open it girl." Chris says shooing his hands at her. Nova smiles before grabbing the bag and taking the white sparkly tissue paper from out of it.

The first thing Nova's eyes landed on was a beige and white Pandora box, making her smile immediately drop.

"Chris...."

"Shut up and open it nigga." Chris says mugging Nova. She kisses her teeth before grabbing the long rectangular box out, she sets it in front of her before carefully lifting the top off. Nova gasped in shock at the Rose gold diamond charm bracelet sitting in the box, she carefully takes it out the box, holding it her hands.

"There ain't no charms on it yet, but I bought you your first five. You add onto it for whatever reason you want." Chris says.
