"Yes, Stokeley?" I responded, pausing Criminal Minds.
"You watching that police shit?" He mumbled. I could already tell he was laughing about it because he always did.
"And if I am?" I shot back, playfully rolling my eyes like he could actually see me.
"I'm finna slide, I been at the studio all day. Bye, love you," was the last thing he said before ending the call. He never gave me the chance to respond but he knew how I felt about him.
I looked at my digital clock on my nightstand to the right of me and it read 2:12 AM & 2/15/20. I respected the fact that he was busy and I was too but his schedule was different, to say the least. Valentine's Day was never that important to us so we didn't do much but it could be extended if I made the decision. We hadn't really been around each other recently but we knew where we stood. A busy schedule didn't mean a change in heart for us.
I unpaused Criminal Minds and watched it trying to act normal but truthfully I was too excited to see Stokes. I miss him and his basketball head.
After trying to watch the show for 15 minutes straight, I gave up. I had to do something different.
I got over to a drawer I never open and pulled it open.I knew he liked the simple shit so I made sure to do that for him.

"Baby you sleep?" Stokeley's raspy voice said to me.
"I'm falling asleep Stokes. The hell took you so long?" I responded. I wanted to fuck the soul outta him tonight but I had lost some of my energy. When I looked at the clock it read 3:38 AM. I fell asleep.
"y/n. Open the door."
"No," I joked, reluctantly getting up and walking to the door to open it for him.
As he was kissing his teeth I finally twisted the doorknob and when he looked me up and down he was damn near drooling. He always did but this time was different and I was confused as to why.
After a couple seconds of wondering I realized that I had forgotten to put on my robe.
Fuck.
It's not like he hadn't seen me like this before though, so I guess it was okay.
"Baby go to the room for me real quick," he said after giving me a peck. I wanted more because it felt like it had been so long. Either way I ended up going.
I laid down on my stomach in my standard sleeping position with my leg up and started playing Helix jump. I hope he wasn't gonna surprise me or nothing because I don't like them and he knew.
"Ight ma come on!" I heard him project his voice to me. "And don't put on the robe!" He added. Ugh.
When I got to the living room my eyes automatically widened. I saw pink and red balloons, some with hearts on the them and some that were in the shape of hearts. Fun dip, Hershey's chocolate, and all of my favorites were in a heart-shaped basket. There were big Nike and Victoria's Secret/PINK bags laid out. My eyes landed on the huge FashionNova bag and my heart was already heavy with emotions.
