Merry Christmas you guys.
|Issaiah Love|
My eyes open and I instantly smile to myself. Another day, another year. Thank you Jesus. I am finally twenty one and I can honestly say that this would be the best birthday regardless of what I'm doing today to celebrate it. Last year was crazy but this year is a whole different story.
"Happy birthday Soul."Foreign announces coming into my bedroom with a tray of breakfast. Eggs, bacon, and french toast is on a plate for me to eat with a cup of orange juice and sunflower.
"Thank you Megalos, Merry Christmas."He places it down after I sit up and fix myself.
"No problem baby, Merry Christmas to you too."
"Smells delicious, lets hope it taste as such."
"It will."I shake my head before closing my eyes and holding my head together to pray. Lord thank you for blessing me with another day to be here. Thank you for another year. Thank you for blessing me with all of the lessons and challenges. Lord please bless the hands that prepared the food, and let it fill me up until my next meal. Please let no harm sickness or disease come nears me when I eat this food. Thank you for this man that you have brought into my life and please keep me on the right track Lord, in your name I pray. Amen.
I bring my head up and open my eyes so I can take a bite out of my food. As much as I have cooked, it's nice to see my baby do it in return for me. The food is delicious letting me know that he really does pay attention to me when I cook.
"I see you pook, food is good."
"I told you."He leans in to kiss me ignoring my morning breath. This is real love. I take another bite and then check my phone looking at all the text messages coming in to wish me a happy birthday and a merry Christmas.
"I got you a present."
"For real?"
"A few actually."
"Why, I told you not to get me anything."
"When have you ever known me to not do anything?"
"Today is your day though."
"It's also Christmas bae. It's cool, let me spoil you shawty."
"Keep that same energy when it's yo turn, ma."
"I'll see what I can do."I watch him move around while I eat my breakfast feeling so content. I reply back to everyone before I finish up and take the tray back to the kitchen to wash the dishes. Foreign comes up behind me pushing all up on me. Playing house with him is really fun.
"Who told you to clean up?"
"Me."His hands hold a tight grip on my waist.
"I got something for you."
"What is it?"
"Close your eyes."Doing as he said, I dry my hands and close my eyes. He grabs my hand and places something it it making sure that it's secure in my hand."Open them."He got me a strawberry daiquiri from Red Lobster and it wasn't virgin.
"Thank you now I don't have to order one for myself."
"No problem."I take a sip falling in love with the flavor. I can barely taste the alcohol which I appreciated.
"Amazing."
"Since you're twenty one, you know what comes with that right?"
"I swear if you hit me, I'm fucking you up."
