Present Day- 2019

Runnin this game for five years, guess that's why my feet hurt.

"Wonder when they bite me DO THESE BITCHES TEETH HURT" I yelled Nicki's verse on the No Flex Zone remix while I placed my underclothes on my bed. Walking into the bathroom, making sure the music was now going through every room in my apartment, I got in the shower.

Showers always helped me to compose myself and prepare me for the day. Today was no different. I could hear my phone dinging through the speakers in the bathroom. Rolling my eyes I realized it had begun. The "happy birthday" messages, posts, snaps and DM's had started to roll in. I finally turned 25. Today felt like a regular day but my friends refused to let me have a day to myself. I love them, don't get me wrong but sometimes I just want time to myself. They didn't bother me yesterday so I guess that was them giving me my "day to myself". Twenty-five years ago today my mommy brought me into this world, and as her and most other black women in the world would say, she could take me out. I could never thank my mom enough for the sacrifices she's made for all these years. I'm twenty-five and grown now and she still sacrifices and drops anything to be there for me. I'm going to give her the world and then some one day.

Looking at the clock I realized I had been in the shower for an hour, lost in my thoughts. Wiping the lone tear that managed to escape I turned the shower off and wrapped my body in my towel.

"We pop out at ya party I'm with the gang, and it's gon be a robbery so tuck ya chain, imma killa girl im sorry but I can't change" I rapped as I began to wash my face and brush my teeth. Stepping out of the bathroom nodding my head, I sat on my bed lathering myself in cocoa butter. Hearing my phone ring through the speakers I got up to answer it. Looking at the caller Id on the incoming facetime call I realized it was my bestie boo Milan.

"ONE TIME FOR THE BIRTHDAY BITCHHH, TWO TIMES FOR THE BIRTHDAY BITCHHHH" She yelled sticking her ratchet ass tongue out twerking in the camera. I swear I love this bitch. We've known each other since middle school and we ain't never fold. That's my girl, ride or die, all of the above. Periodt.

"Hey MiMi" I said laughing.

"I know ya ass not still in ya towel we gotta nail appointment in a hour and ya ass takes 2 hours to figure out what you wearing alone." She said. Rolling my eyes I looked at the time.

"Aigh so lemme get off this phone and get dressed. I'll see you in a hour hoe."

"Aigh bitch love you."

"Love you." I said hanging up. Walking into my walk in closet, I put on my underwear before I started looking for an outfit.

Finally deciding that I would wear a black off the shoulder long sleeve shirt, black leggings and nikes. Walking towards my vanity and looking in the mirror I moisturized my face deciding I wouldn't wear make-up because I'm just going to get my nails done.
