On the warm Friday afternoon of his mother's birthday, Tae follows and listens to the celebrity event planner in the banquet hall where his mother's celebration would be thrown. He has been up all morning making sure things go perfectly for her.
His mother sacrificed a lot for him and his brothers, went broke to provide, and her reaching her biggest milestone in life, he wants her to have the time of her life tonight.
She points out where the circle and rectangle tables would be on each sides of the dance floor, the DJ setup, and the food placements. "DJ SoHo will be here two hours before the party starts."
"Yeah, I spoke to her while I was sending her the music list," he looks around the banquet hall, "when will everything be set up?"
She looks at Tae. "In the next hour. I promise it will all be coming together by six."
"I trust yo' process," he said. "Since I'm already hea' witchu, my son Romeo gon' be sixteen in two months. I'm tryna throw 'em a li'l 90s Hip Hop theme party. He loved Notorious B.I.G. You think you gon' be busy?"
"For little Roro? Of course not."
Tae nods just as he feels arms wraps around his torso from behind. He looks down to orange painted acrylic nails rubbing his chest. He turns around, facing his fiancée. A cheesy grin, stretches on his mouth as he looks into Celine's big brown eyes.
"Mm," he kisses Celine. "I thought you was in Canada?"
"Melanie and I finished writing sooner than I thought," she pulls him closer. "Besides, you didn't think I would miss out on Mama Ruth's celebration?"
Tavon kisses her once more. "Good cause I missed you and we got som' catchin' up to do."
Celine giggles as he jiggles her booty through her jeans. "Stop it, boy. Not in front of her. Oh my Gosh — sorry about that miss," she apologizes to the event planner, "Celine."
