"Is Cavalli going to stay while the party's going on?" Taylor asked.

"Why wouldn't she?" I finished putting out the pink roses.

"I don't know, I'm just asking since there won't be any kids but it is her mother's birthday party."

I nodded my head, getting off of the counter.

Since it was Onika's birthday and she was woking, I decided to surprise her. I made her believe that I hadn't known of her birthday, that I forgot and I knew she was both angry and sad at the same time.

I had gotten all of her 'new' friends, the ones that I did not know about. I didn't want to be rude to them because of my love for Onika.

Her friends consisted of Saiyr, Meagan, Gabrielle, Kelly, and Jada. all five of them had spouses, both men and women. Saiyr's wife, Kayla was a cute little thing. Meagan's husband pissed me off just by the name, Brandon. Gabrielle's man, Dwight was more in love with her than ever. Kelly's girl, Alex was standoffish to everyone besides Kelly. Jada and Will had a real deep, old soul love.

Taylor and Joseph were the only ones that I brought. Ming came as well and although she had done nothing, I was still watching out for her.

"Is that bitch ever gonna get off of work?" Gabrielle chuckled. I knew she was joking but I wanted to tell her to watch her damn mouth.

When I heard the door opening, I swooped Cavalli up and went behind the bannister. I didn't want her to see us, she could see whoever else was in the house. I just needed her to think we weren't here nd that I forgot when I didn't.

She stepped in the house and smiled extra wide but she started looking around as well.

"Where's my daughter and Bey?" She asked.

Cavalli was about to run to her but I pulled her back. Oh my God, this little girl.

"Mommy!" She yelled.

"Oh my God." I walked out and she ran to hug me. "Did you do this?"

"Yeah, I did." I hugged her back. Cavalli was hugging both of her legs.

"How do you know all of my friends?" She asked.

"I've been planning this since MY birthday. I was at your job and Saiyr came and I knew she was your friend so I asked her who the rest of your friends were. I made sure they would all be able to come too."

"Oh wow." She picked up Cavalli then went to hug her friends.

Meagan hugged me. "So you're the one that broke my girl's heart?"

"No girl, I'm not Kaylin."

"I know exactly who you are."

"How?"

"She's my girl, obviously we talk about everything. You're Cavalli's other mom. You let Cavalli and her down sometimes but she loves you and she forgives you for some reason."

I needed to actually talk to Onika's friends 'cause for no reason in particular, they knew more about my girl's emotions than I did. All of that could wait until after the party though.

"Bey do you still not drink?" Nika asked. She had her eyebrows furrowed and a knocked out Cavalli on her hip. How the hell does that little girl fall asleep so fast?

"I don't drink and you shouldn't either but it's your birthday so you get a pass. I'll put her to sleep." I grabbed Cavalli from her and put her in her bed upstairs. I stayed there, making sure she was actually asleep.
