Meeks birthday which was May 6 had just passed and Papi which is May 13 is in 3 days, he's turning five. Meek and Fah are throwing him a party at a trampoline park Saturday which is the day of his birthday and Monday Meek and Papi are going to Disney Land, I was going to go but it's pointless because im about to be three months pregnant on Tuesday. I can't get on any rides, and I definitely can't be walking around in all that heat. I was on my way to work once I got there I seen Candi, and a few of the new girls that I'd hired since Thembi had quit once her boyfriend Jay had came home from jail she claims it was cause she needed a new start in life but we think Jay made her, she hasn't been in contact with any of us I wanted to go by her house but Meek had told me to mind my business. "Hay boss lady" one of my employees Asia said "Hey asia" I said "Is Kira here?" I asked "Yup she's in the back" Asia said "Sooooo guess who I seen earlier today" Candi said "Who?" I asked putting our new purses on racks "Thembi" she said "Really! Where?" I asked "Girl yes at McDonalds with Jay daughter" she said "Did you say anything to her?" I asked "Yes I said hi and tried to give her a hug but she gave me a pat on the shoulder, I know Meek told you to stay out of it but something's off about her" Candi said "Well Candi it's not really much you can do about it any way if that's who she wants to be with them who's stopping her" I said greeting a customer. I went behind the counter to the register, "Excuse me do y'all got this shirt in a size small all I see are mediums" a lady said "Yes we should I'll go in the back and look" I said walking off. Once I found the shirt for her, I went back to the front seeing Meek "What are you doing here?" I asked smiling handing the lady her shirt "She'll check you out when you're ready" I said pointing to Kira "Dang I can't come check on you" Meek said "No because you come check on me everyday" I said "Most days not everyday" he said "Wassup Kira" Meek said waving "Hey" she said "Since you check on my so badly go get me something to eat" I said "Like?" he asked "Ummm me and my baby girl have taste for some Cheesecake Factory" I said smiling "You and my baby boy" he said correcting me "Nah it's a girl and do you need my debit card?" I asked "Do I ever need yo debit card?" he asked "Ok well bye you know what I want" I said "No kiss?" he asked poking his lip out. I gave Meek a kiss walking him outside, "So I think you and Meek should have a gender reveal" Candi said "No" I said "Meek want to but I don't a baby shower is good" I said also "Well if I ask Meek can I plan y'all one he's gonna say yes so guess what" Candi said "I don- "Gender reveal it issss!" she said clapping "Whatever" I said. Once Meek came back with my food Candi dumb ass asked him could she throw us a gender reveal and of course he said yes, out of all my friends she's his favorite. Once it was time for me to go Candi asked me to come over her house because Rika and Kaila were coming over also when we got there an unfamiliar car was parked in the drive way "Who's car?" I asked "Kira's" she said "How they get in?" I asked "Rika been here all day" she said unlocking the door going in. "Hey y'all" I said sitting on the couch "Hey nephewwwww" Rika said touching my belly "Umm niece" Kaila said "Ummmmm how about hey mommy" I said and everybody started laughing "When do you find out the gender?" Kira asked "Next month" I said "Awww where's Meek?" she asked. Kira was steady asking questions about Meek like I'm not his girlfriend or something, not to long ago he took me Papi, my mom, and Ciah to dinner then asked me to be his girlfriend again. "So who wants a drinkkkkkkk?" Candi asked "I'll help even though I can't have any". "So is it me or does Kira have a thing for Meek?" Candi asked "I knew I wasn't tripping im not gone say nothing though" I said grabbing me a water and whoever a margarita.

Once I had got home I took a shower, after I got out I was on my laptop looking at houses since I didn't plan on renewing my lease here. I wanted a room for when the baby came plus a room for Papi and a guestroom for whomever. All together I was looking for a four bedroom house while looking I came across a five bedroom and it was really pretty I liked it a lot. I sent it to Meek asking if he liked it, he was at the club so I didn't expect an immediate text back but he did text right back saying "It's beautiful, how many rooms it got?" "5" I sent back "Wanna go look at it whenever were both not busy??" he said "Yes, now enjoy yourself, love you😘" I sent back "I love y'all to" he said referring to me and the baby. I emailed the realtor about the house grabbing my remote turning on the t.v. after watching family guy for a while I fell asleep.
