Falling For Her

"Treat her like you're still trying to win her, and that's how you'll never lose her."

Kenya and I are going to her mom's for Thanksgiving. This is the first time that I'll be meeting her. Am I nervous? Honestly I'm not. I know that if Kenya loves me, then most likely her mom will. I'm easy to get along with, I'm very respectful. I'm a good guy. Her mom sounds nice, she was actually the one that told Kenya to bring me. No, she would've brought me anyway. Anyway.

Around the time of the holidays, it gets real hard for me. I start to miss my Nena like crazy. I don't know what and where I would be if I didn't have Kenya's support. This girl is my support system. My back bone. I don't have anybody to go home to on the holidays. Thank God I met Kenya. She changed me in so many ways it's crazy. I just knew that I was going to.be a thot for the rest of my life. I don't even want to think about being with somebody else. It's only her. And that's how it's going to be forever. Yeah we have our ups and downs but I know that no matter what, we always gonna have each other.

On the way to Kenya's moms house I felt like I was about to have an emotional break down. I didn't know what to do. My Nena just kept popping up into my head and I just wanted to cry. But what do I look like crying in front of my girl. I knew that Kenya could sense that something was wrong with me. Part of me wanted her to ask me what was wrong so that I could just get it off my chest. But then the other part just didn't want to sound like a bitch. But then our song came on. You know the song by Tink. Treat me like somebody. It was like that song was for us. Well for everybody. It explained us in so many ways it was crazy. (If you haven't heard the song you should look it up) Kenya told me to pull into a gas station and after I did that, we just talked. It felt so good to get everything off my chest. I know that she's here for me and she always will be, but it feels good to hear her say it. We're so in love with each other. It's crazy how two young people can go somewhere and not be looking for love. Trying to avoid it and then they come together and do just that. I'm so glad I bumped into her the night that I did. I kinda feel like we've would've met eventually. It was our destiny. I know this. Y'ALL even know this. It was meant for us to meet, for us to be together. We're perfect together. Yeah, at first I had my doubts. Who doesn't? Kenya's the type of girl that everybody wants and dreams of. She's just perfect to be honest and I didn't see why anybody would ever want to hurt her but I'm glad they did, because if they didn't, then I wouldn't be able to call her mines.

"Avi wake up, we're here!" Kenya yelled shaking me. I looked down at my watch and saw that it was 9:30 pm. I'm tired as hell.

"I'm up." I said getting out the car and jogging to her side to open the door for her.

"Aww what a perfect gentleman." Kenya's mom said walking towards us. I just smiled, now I was nervous as hell. Now I know how y'all girls be feeling when y'all meet somebody new.

"Mommy, this is my baby, poohbear, my stink. My everything mom. I don't know what I would do without him. He's just amazing mommy. He's the man that I'm madly in love with." Kenya said turning her head and wiping her eyes.

"Avian it's so nice to finally meet you." Her mom said smiling and walking towards me. I went to offer my hand but she pulled me in for a hug. And that's when me being nervous just went away. I felt at peace, I felt comfortable. Like I belonged. I felt at home. I hugged her back and smiled. Now I see where Kenya gets it from. Her and her mom are two amazing woman.

"Come on, it's cold outside." She chuckled grabbing our bags.

"Oh, no let me do that." I said trying to take the bags from her.

"No, no I got it." She said before taking the bags into the house.

"That was the best introduction that I ever had babe. I love you too." I said pecking her lips and then grabbing her hand. Kenya pulled me into the house and then shut the door.

Their house was sexy. I mean what other word could I use. There was candles and Christmas decorations everywhere. The house smelled of cinnamon and gingerbread cookies. It was warm. It was like one of the houses that's on t.v that you always dream of having.

"Are you two hungry." Kenya's mom asked interrupting my thoughts.

"No, I'm not I'm ready to take it down." Kenya replied kissing her mom and then grabbing a cookie off of the table.

"Are you?" She questioned me.

"No, I'm just really exhausted." I answered yawning.

"Are you okay, you look like something is bothering you. Oh my what the fuck did Kenya do. I know she probably said some reckless shit didn't she?" She said making me laugh. One minute she was nice and then the next she turned psycho. I see who Kenya gets it from. But it was funny.

"No, no she didn't do anything. Not yet anyway." I said truthfully.

"Alrighty, well I'm here if you wanna talk. Goodnight hun." She said pecking my forehead and then disappearing into the kitchen. Kenya came out and grabbed my hand. She pulled me up the stairs and into her room, talk about girly. Before I could say anything she said:

"I know babe, my mom's crazy as hell."

"Yeah, I see who you get it from. But for real, I just met your mom and I love her. Y'all act just alike it's crazy." I chuckled.

"I love you more sweety." Her mom yelled walking past the room.

Kenya just rolled her eyes and I laughed. So far, so good. We was so tired, that we just jumped in the shower together. When we got out, I put in boxers and basketball shorts, Kenya put on my shirt and some underwear. And with that we was knocked out. I can't wait to see what the morning holds for us.
