ROSE IN HARLEM
some where in
cali, los angeles !
"five.." the count down was torture, trinity tightening her hands around the popper, anticipating to see what color would pop out.
she kept reminding herself she was good, tightening her grip to make sure she was straight. "..one!" she quickly twisted, watching the dark blue powder explode from the tube. her heart sped up as the cheering grew louder.
she dropped the tube, hands going to cover her watering eyes. she looked at the person closest to her which luckily it was brandon because the next thing she did was toss her arms around his neck, breaking out in sobs.
"those better be happy tears!" she could hear diamond yelling in the back.
"of course!" trinity wiped her face, disregarding her face full of makeup.
the next hour was filled with hugs and congratulations, overwhelming trinity with a large amount of support. now, she was casually opening gifts, not exaclty wanting everything to be taken out of context.
she had opened up plenty which were basics. diapers, a bouncer, white tee's, mittens, banies and more. everything was gender neutral, that way for the baby shower, they knew what to really look for and dabble in.
they had planned to keep it going for another two hours, shifting from a reveal to a regular kickback. trinity thought it was the perfect time to pull brandon away and let her know her feelings before things were too late.
"is there a problem?" brandon was slightly tipsy, finally sipping on his first beer of the day. everyone agreed to loosen up and celebrate, but he didn't want to go overboard honestly.
"no, i just want to talk," trinity smiled, shutting the bedroom door to block out the noise. "we been around everyone all day and it kind of got me thinking about us and i'm lowkey ready to make things offical again,"
brandon was shocked. "deadass?" the smile was growing on his face by the second. "wait," he stood up, towering over trinity as he held her hands.
trinity giggled, "i'm serious. i just think we can work on trust and communication between us. it's time to start maturing not only for the sake of us but for the sake of him," she said, mentioning the baby.
"holy fuck," he placed a kiss to her lips. "you don't understand how long i've veen waiting to call you mine again," he kissed her again, savoring the moment.
"same," she laughed, placing a kiss of her own to his lips. "but i mean it when i say we need to work on communication," she rose a brow. "like if there is anything you want to tell me now, let me know,"
brandon thought, there was really nothing inportant that could really make or break them. besides the fact that he happened to invite maggie to the baby shower which trinity only knew because edwin ran his mouth after two bottles of beer. but vrandon didn't know that, shrugging his shoulders.
"are you sure," trinity squinted, "you didn't meet a new girl? invite someone to the baby shower, respond to a couple dm's?" she threw a couple things out there.
"oh," brandon looked dumbfounded. "maggie is coming to the baby shower," ge said it bluntly. "i didn't even invite her. i invited denzel and then she invited herself and i told her i don't want or need any drama,"
"and you couldn't have told me sooner?"
"honestly baby, i forgot that it even happened. she's never on my mind these days and i can easily tell her not to come id you want me to," he didn't mind uninviting maggie.
but trinity smiled, "nope. i want that bitch to come and watch us be a happy ass family infront of her face,"
and just like that, everything was back to normal, the couple laughing at trinitys comment. they shared a kiss before going back out to the party. trinity went to go climb up under diamond who was in conversation with austin, cockblocking them from doing anything. she missed her best friend way too much to pass up this opportunity.
as for brandon, he went to slap edwin upside his head for snitching on him once again. also to brag to everyone that he had his girl back.
