All the rest of Deena's stuff was just finished moving into my apartment, and I was GLAD. She just had toooooo much stuff for one girl dammit, it took almost a month to get everything from Uptown situated into my Midtown place. It was super chill out that night, and I couldn't help but bunch my hands up in my sleeves while I carried the last box into my place.
"BABE!!!! It's so COLDDDD!" I said, as I came into the apartment with FROZEN written all over my face. "Hug me, pleaseeeeee, warm me upppppp!!!!!! It's your fault I'm cold anyways, all your damn stuff man.." She came over and kissed my hands, and I swear they almost instantly went warm. What she did to my body was something crazy, my temperature shot up insanely and suddenly I didn't feel so chilled anymore. She walked away, while still holding on to one of my hands, and I pulled her back in to a hug. "Where you going, magic lady?" I wrapped my arms around her and bit her cheek.
"I'm goinggggg to start your little red velvet cake you've been begging me for, you know exactly what I'm doing you punk." She giggled and walked away, and I watched her. Even at 4 months pregnant, she looked every type of gorgeous to me. "I want it to be finished by 12 AM, because I want you to eat a piece so I can sing happy birthday until 12:01 and then give you your real gift loser! So let me at least start!" She was right, I did want that cake, so I let her walk off.
11:14pm, Friday, November 6th
My phone showed the time and date as I pressed the power button. I wasn't really all that excited for it, I just saw it as any other Saturday, but this time I had red velvet cake and endless kisses from my baby. I didn't really care for my birthday much, but now I really didn't care much about it. 23 was NOT an important age at all, 21 was the last birthday I'd get until 50 where there was a card that was age specific. That's how you know the following day was going to be toooooo regular. I decided to lay down on the couch, because I was SOOOO tired. That particular Friday, I stayed longer than usual outside, because I had an EXTENDED lunch date, and I was so exhausted. The guys from Sprayground wanted to do a collab and we had to talk MUCHO business. I laid on the couch thinking about the meeting, when I suddenly found myself falling asleep.
I was dreaming about my cake, when all of a sudden I felt a big, cold glob of SOMETHING come across my face.
What the hell was I smelling... Lemon???
I stuck my finger into what was on my face and smelled what was on my finger, and I was right: LEMON. But lemon what? I heard Dee's snickers, but kept my eyes closed. I laid flat on my back and tasted what was on my finger next, a BIG risk, seeing as I was dealing with trickster Dee. I tasted LEMON FROSTING and my eyes shot open. "ANY MORE?"
"Oh, now you're awake, huh?" She giggled some more and climbed on top of me and laid down. "Babeeeee, it's your BIRTHDAY!" She started kissing me all over and I couldn't help but smile. "It's super duper your birthday and I have a cake for youuuuuuu.. I... GOT... A... Redddddd velvet... CaaaaAKEEEEEeeee for you dadddddy, come getttttt it!" She sang, and I started dying of laughter.
"OKAY baby, just PLEASE shushhhhhhh!" I started laughing even harder until my stomach hurt, and she laughed with me as she walked to the kitchen. She came back with a slice of red velvet with lemon icing cake and I fell in love... THIS was why I made this girl my wife. Cute shit like THIS!! "Babeeeeee, oh my gosh!" I took a cake fulled spoon and put it in my mouth. "Ah luh yuh so MUH!! Yooo.. this cake es suh guhhhhh." I said with cake dropping out of my mouth.
"Your welcome baby... Happy BIRTHDAY! I just want you to know I love you unconditionally... So... Everything I have ready for you today is because you deserve it okay? I love you.. Soooo much." She kissed me and pointed into the bathroom. I swear I could see candle light coming from in there, but I could still see it was dark...
"Listen... When you finish that cake? I have a bath waiting... So make your way in there... Okay?" She stood up and bent down to kiss me again, deep and long this time... "Don't take TOO long..." She kissed my lips once again and walked away toward the bathroom.
This birthday... Is the BEST I've had in a LONG ass time! It can't get no better than this, with this beautiful ass girl in my life, this bomb ass cake, and this bath I was about to take...
