Unfathomable

New Years Eve

I woke up to my phone ringing. Stretching my arms out I opened my eyes and pressed the answer button.

"Hello", I said half asleep.

"Come open the door I'm cold", Mya said with chattering teeth.

I heard 3 knocks and my eyes got big as hell.

"Hurryyyy", she wined.

Ending the call I rushed to the bathroom to brush my teeth. If I'm gon' be ugly the least I could do was be ugly without morning breath. Jogging downstairs I opened the door looking at Mya.

"Damn why you take so long I told you I was cold", she said coming in and taking her coat off.

"And if you hang up in my face again we gon' have a problem", she finished.

"Yea cause I wasn't expecting you to be here so early"

She giggled, "It's already like 8"

"Fa real?", I said checking the time on my phone.

"Isn't that what your phone says?", she asked.

"Yea"

"Ight then that's the time"

"Get smart again", I said staring at her.

All she could do was smile and look down. I know she missed this, she missed us.

Once she hung her coat up I watched her slim thick frame walk away as she went to look in the mirror. Heading into the kitchen I grabbed some left over pizza from the refrigerator and put it in the microwave. While waiting I glanced over at the window looking around at all the snow that the storm had brought us yesterday. Must've been so busy on the phone last night that I didn't even notice the storm happening.

"You drove through allat?", I asked stopping the microwave from beeping.

"Yea", she said walking into the kitchen and muffing my head to the side.

"Ugh what's that?", she asked disgusted.

"What?"

"That damn tree", she continued.

"I know I know", I said turning around and leaning back on the counter.

"It didn't come out like it was supposed to"

"Yea I see", she said laughing with me.

Walking back into the kitchen she opened the refrigerator, "you got pizza for me too?"

"You can have some if you want"

"I wrapped you up some candy yams too"

She gasped, "awww and you saved me eggnog?"

"Yea"

"Thank you baby", she said hugging me.

I squeezed her small frame with one arm kissing her forehead. I could feel that her hug was genuine. Letting go I moved to the side so that she could warm her food up too. I told her not to eat too much because we were about to head out to a restaurant anyway. Stuffing a few spoon fulls of candy yams in her mouth she put it back into the refrigerator.

"So where we going?", she asked.

"Olive Garden"

She gasped, "really?"

"Yea", I said slightly laughing.

"What we waiting for then?"

"Me", I said throwing away my empty plate.

"Hurryyyyy", she wined pushing me towards the door.

"Hold up I gotta get dressed mann", I said dragging my weight.

She slowly stopped pushing me because she simply couldn't anymore. Smacking her lips she mumbled sumn and sat on the couch.

"What you say?", I questioned.

"Nothing", she said with a small smirk.

"What I thought"

Walking upstairs I got dressed as fast as possible and made my way back down after grabbing the engagement ring. The snow had cleared up some but Mya's lil attitude didn't.

"Bout time", she said standing up and stretching.

"Say sumn smart again"

"Sumn smart", she said turning her head sideways.

Taking a step closer she already knew what was coming.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry", she said taking a step back and laughing.

"Let's go though", I said grabbing my jacket.

I watched as she put on all her  'armor' for outside. I mean she had: gloves, a scarf, hat, jacket, a coat and ear muffs. All I had was a jacket. I was never really a fan of coats. You'd be outside for .3 seconds there was no point in wearing one. Once we made it down to the basement car garage I opened the door for her and let the engine warm up. On our way to Olive Garden it took a lil longer just cause some of the roads were still bad but once we got there she was over excited. Since it was in one of the skyscrapers we had to take an elevator up. Mya was speechless the whole time just taking in the view. I was lowkey surprised cause I know she's scared of heights. When we finally got to the 124th floor they led us to a table near the glass window which also was the wall.

Looking down I pointed towards the lake, "that's where they'll be shooting the fireworks"

Mya's lil frame straightened and her smile was the biggest I've ever seen inna while. She took a moment just staring then turned her attention to me. Once the waiter finally came I placed both of our orders which was the same thing. This wasn't a shocker though, Mya always wanted to be like me.

"Of course you get what I get", I said jokingly.

"Boy hush", she said smiling.

For the rest of the time we just talked about us and what we had to do to make 'this' work. We came to a couple conclusions but those never usually follow through. I lowkey wasn't even paying attention, all I wanted to do was put this damn ring back on her finger.

"Romannn", she called my name.

"Yea", I said coming out my daze.

"You okay?", she asked.

Looking into her eyes I repeated myself, "yea".

Not breaking eye contact, I grabbed her hand rubbing it with my thumb.

"You still love me right?", I questioned.

"Of course"

"And you still wanna be with me?"

She chuckled, "yes".

"Then put this back on and don't take it off again", I stated pulling the ring out of my pocket and placing it on her ring finger.

"Never again", I watched as she lied to me.

She was just caught up in the moment. I didn't realize that I wasn't even smiling until she looked away awkwardly. Right then I got a phone call, it was J.R.

The restaurant started cheering...

"Hi, Roman", a women said over the phone. I could hear the worry in her voice

3

"This is Britney, Jamari's sister"

"Everything okay?", Mya asked

"I'm not sure what happened but we're at the hospital, they won't tell us anything"

The restaurant overwhelmed me as the fireworks exploded over the cities skyscrapers.

"HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!"
