"Happy birthday to you.. Happy birthday to you.. happy birthday dear Harlem." Harlem's friends and family sung, gathering around the table.

Harlem wiped a tear from her eye and smiled, she was the happiest girl in the world. She had finally turned twenty three and instead of a big birthday bash she had a small dinner with friends and family at her favorite restaurant. It had been a while since she was able to get every one in the same room because they were all always super busy.

"And I got you something extra." Trouble, the love of her life told her as he pulled out one of many gifts he had gotten her. Harlem and Trouble has been together for nearly six months after years of playing with one another. Trouble was her first everything except she never had sex but tonight, she planned on giving up her virginity to him.

Harlem waited so long because Trouble was just like his name and he never stayed out of it. He was a Drug dealer felon who turned his life around with quickness for the girl he loved. Trouble was now into real estate and investments and made more money than he ever did risking his life. Trouble left the bitches alone and the streets all for the girl he had always been in love with. He wanted a family.. a life with her and tonight was just the beginning.

Trouble pulled out a small box and got down on one knee. He opened it and a ring with a rock just as big as Beyoncé's sat inside.

Harlem's heart swelled with love and joy, she teared up covering her face because she was always told she had an ugly cry. No one would ever understand the love she had for Trouble and here he was proposing to her in front of everyone that she loved.

"You know I'm not good with my words but I just want to show you how much I love you and how far I'm willing to go for you b, I been in love with you since I was 18 and I know it took me a long time to get my shit together but I'm here now and this shit forever word to mommy," Trouble was so hood and Harlem loved it. "You turned me into a man and I promise to be the best man I can be for you and our future together so Harlem Carter, I need you to marry me." Trouble licked his lips and smiled, trying to hide the fact that he was nervous as hell. Harlem was a hard chick to impress. If she wanted she got it on her own and she ain never need him for shit and she constantly let it be known. They weren't perfect but they were definitely meant to be and everybody knew it.

Harlem didn't even have to think about it. "Yes." She jumper into his arms, kissing him so lovingly and passionately! This was really her man.

Everybody congratulated them, they were genuinely happy for them. Especially her aunt, she played a main part in the Trouble and Harlem story being as though she never wanted them together but she eventually came around.

"Congratulations baby," Her aunt hugged her, kissing her on the cheek. "I can't wait for you to give me some nieces and nephews.

"I can't wait to give you some grandkids." Harlem corrected her. Her aunt was like her mother being as though she raised her on her own along with her son Duke who hadn't been home in three years. Duke was like her brother and best friend but once he loved to Atlanta he started calling less and less.
