The Mercy Of A Thug

Chapter 10

   

    It had been three months since the fight with Tasha and Tara. Tara no longer conversated with her, they friendship was completely over.

Tara wasn't complaining about it because she gained a good friend and a awesome boyfriend in the end.

Passion and Tara relationship had grown tremendously, they were extremely close and Passion's grandmother had officially accepted Tara as her new granddaughter. She was enjoying the feeling of being loved even by Ahmad. He catered to Tara's every need. He was in love with her and she was deeply in love with him as well. Ahmad made the perfect boyfriend and Tara considered herself blessed to have him.

"So it's spring break and someone's birthday is around the cornerrrrr!!!! What's the plans?" Passion asked as her, Tj,Tara and Ahmad sat at the lunch table. It was the last day of school before spring break and Tara's birthday was in two days.

"I don't know. Girl I just wanna lay on the beach and soak up the sun with my baby." Tara said kissing Ahmad.

"If that's what you want to do then that's what we'll do." Ahmad smiled pulling her close to him.

"Y'all too cute, but what about ya birthday though?"

"I have nothing planned." Tara said "Maybe us four can do dinner and a movie?"

"Hell yes let's do that!" Tj said all hyped. Him and Passion was kicking it a lot lately but only as friends though.

"That's fine with me." Passion said

"Ight."

Tara's birthday...

"Omg I'm so damn full I can barley breathe." Tj said as they sat at the Cheesecake factory.

"I bet you is." Passion said as she took a sip of her water.

"This was fun and I thank you guys for spending my birthday with me. This means a lot to me. So thank you guys so much."

"Aww baby you're welcome. It's like everyday I find a new reason to fall deeper in love with you. You appreciate the little things and for that you deserve something big." Ahmad said as he gave Tara a gold box wrapped in a pink bow.

"Aww babyyyy you shouldn't have."

"Open it."

Tara slowly undid the bow.

"Omg Ahmad I love it." Tara struggled to say as she began to get emotional.

"Don't cry Tara,you deserve it." Ahmad took the diamond embedded bracelet and place it on her right arm.

"I love you so much." Tara said as she placed a kiss on his lips.

"I love you too."

"I think this moment deserves a toast."  Passion said holding up her glass.

"To new and everlasting friendships." Everyone held up their glass and repeated after her.

"So that mean you and I are getting married?" Tj asked her.

"Heck no and get your hand off my thigh." Passion said playfully pushing him.

Everyone burst out laughing and Passion just shook her head.
