"Bae, wake up." I leaned over Yazmine, resisting the urge to shake her ass awake.

"Hmmm."

"Get upppppp." I snatched the covers off of her.

"Nooooooo." Without opening either eye she snatched them mother fuckers right back.

"Girl."

"Boy."

I started laughing. "Get up love, it's late as fuck."

Finally she stirred. First she came from under the covers. Then she cracked one eye. Then the other. Next she sat up, rubbing her eyes. "What time is it?" She asked in her sleepy voice.

"It's like nine."

"Nine? You said it was late!"

I ignored her incredulous tone. "Fuck all that I wanna show you something." Reluctantly, she climbed out of bed. She was so cute when she first woke up, with her lil sleepy brown eyes, and black curls. She was only in an oversized t-shirt, my shirt. "Come on." I took her by the hand and led her downstairs, to the dining room. A nigga went all out.

First off, I set the table. I never set no table in my fucking life. But shit, I had put on a nice table cloth, I had the good china, the silverware, allat. Even had a vase of fresh flowers on that table. Pinterest said it gave shit a pop of color, whatever that means.

I made us breakfast: big ol waffles topped with fresh strawberries and tons of whipped cream, fluffy eggs, turkey bacon, and grits. Like I was a whole chef in this bitch. I was pretty amazed with myself to be honest.

Yazmine brought a hand to her mouth. "Ohmygawd."

"Happy birthday, Yazzy." My baby was twenty one and shit.

"Aw this is so cute. You did this all by yourself?" I pulled out a chair for my girl and she sat down, geeked. I could see it in her eyes, which were sparkling.

"Yeah, I took my ass on Pinterest and everything." I sat down in my own chair and I couldn't help myself I had to snap a picture of her while she was smiling.

"Ohmygawd I look crazy don't post that," she was laughing.

"Yeah, aight."

"Thank you baby." She grinned up at me, and I took the opportunity to plop some whipped cream on her nose. "Really, nigga? Don't do that, don't start nothing you can't finish." She swiped the whipped cream off with a napkin.

"I never do."

"But nah, for real, thank you. It means a lot."

"This is only the beginning." I rubbed my hands together, like Birdman.

"What you mean only the beginning, I toldja I don't want nothing big."

"Don't worry about allat, just eat your waffles."

She looked like she wanted to protest but she ain't, she ate her waffles. When we finished eating, her phone started going off. First it was her parents, then her sister and the kids, then her brother, then Trey, then Candy and Tasha. Even my aunty called her. Shit, Armon called her. I had the card he made her, but I would give it to her later.

After I cleared the table, Yazmine begged me to let her shower and get dressed. "At least lemme look decent for your next surprise."

"Aight, but you only get an hour to get ready. I'm timing you too!" I called after her as she raced up the stairs.

I got comfortable on the couch because I knew she was going to take forever. But it was like as soon as I got comfortable, Trey's ass called me.

"I'm outside," was the first thing he said when I answered.
