Crazy For U

When I think of you

We had arrived in Paris the next afternoon. I was excited to see my mother it has been awhile. When the car pulled up to her house my mother was standing outside. Laurent and I ran to embrace her.
"So where is she?" Maman asked.
Blu and Imani walked towards us hand in hand.
"Bonjour mam je m'appelle Kehlani c'est ma soeur Imani. Je suis le fiancé de Larry. C'est un plaisir de vous rencontrer" Blu said.
My mouth dropped I didn't know she could speak French. All the times Laurent and I thought we were having private conversations and she understood us the whole time.
"You non tell me you speak French." I said.
"Nous parlons plusieurs langues. Nous parlons français, espagnol et créole. Et jamais demandé" Imani said.
Laurent whipped his head around in amazement.
"You something else." I laughed.
"So tell me more about yourself?"
"Well my name is Kehlani but most people call me Blu. I am a dance teacher. I am also a performer. I was born in Guadeloupe but raised in New York. "
"Us from Guadeloupe too." Maman beamed.
"So what are your intentions with my son?"
"Ma'am honestly I just love him. I don't wish to change him in any way because then he wouldn't be the man I feel in love with."
Maman looked her over for a moment and then smiled. "I like her she definitely a keeper."
Blu smiled lighting up the whole room. I think Maman was more in love with her than me if that's at all possible. Her and Blu sat and talked for hours. Blu was open and honest about the situation between her and her mother. It brought my mother to tears.
"You been through so much in so little time." Maman said as she wrapped her arms around her. "But you non have to worry because you have family now."
I sat and watched my two favorite girls bond. It warmed my heart to see them together. Time moved by quickly and it was time to go to the hotel.
"You all can stay here." Maman protested.
I would have love to but the things I planned on doing tonight should not be done under Maman's roof.
"Well at least leave the little one." Maman said holding onto Imani.
"Pleaaaase Larry Pleaaasse Kehlani." She begged.
"Ummm what do you think amour?" I said.
"Ummm okay but be on your best behavior." Blu said as she kissed Imani on the forehead.
Blu and I hugged Maman and headed to our hotel.
"I love your mom she is so sweet." Blu said.
"Yeah to you" I joked. "But back to you speaking French why you non tell me?"
"You never asked."
"Well my language sound so sexy coming out you mouth."
"Awe you making me blush." She said.
Before we went in for the night we stopped and got some ice cream. We sat outside and ate it while starting at the Eiffel Tower.
"It is so beautiful here." Blu said laying her head on my shoulder.
"Anywhere you are is beautiful." I said kissing her forehead.
We sat out and watched the star lit sky for awhile. Finally we walked towards our hotel. In the elevator I couldn't keep my hands to myself. Once we made it to our room we were both beat. We climbed into bed and just talked.
"How you feel about about moving to Paris after us married."
"I would live anywhere as long as we're together." She said.
I smiled as I wrapped my arms around her.
"Tomorrow I take you on tour before you meet rest of my family."
"Awesome." She said as she yawned.
She closed her eyes and was out. I smiled I knew my mother would love her. I hope they won't make a big deal tomorrow but I know my mom and sisters. I cringed at the thought of all the embarrassing pictures. Finally I dozed off. The next morning I heard Janet Jackson's Love will never due blasting from the bathroom.

I stood in the archway watching her sing and dance in her underwear. Once she saw me she smiled walking towards me continuing her bathroom performance. I laughed she was so adorable.
"You are in great mood this morning." I said kissing her.
She smiled as she brushed her teeth.
"Wow you look amazing." I said as she got dressed.
"Shouldn't you be getting ready? " She asked with an raised eyebrow.
"Yes." I said heading towards the shower. While I showered Blu called Imani. Laurent answered instead.
"Hey Laubear where's Imani?"
"Us nieces kidnapped her." Lau laughed.
"Well we should be there soon." She said before hanging up.
Finally I was dress and we were off to my mother's house. When we got there she was immediately snatched away by my sisters.
They fired a million and one questions at her. Blu sat patiently trying to answer all of them. Finally it was Maman to the rescue.
"Give her room to breathe." She said helping Blu from the crowd.
"Yeah Larry this one is definitely the one." My older brother said patting me on my shoulder.
From the corner of my eye I saw Maman pull out the photo album. Lau and I looked at each other.
"Oh no!" We both said face palming ourselves.
