Since Nashon moved into his new spot he hadn't visited his family. He'll call Mel from time to time to check on things and he sent his Aunty money every month and even paid down her mortgage on her home. But Eastshore was the last thing on his mind. Nashon had made it in the big leagues and he didn't want no ties to the hood.
Nashon mostly spent time with Tiffany just on the weekends. She would stop by during the week to bring him dinner, which was always some vegan mess, he wasn't too fond of. She would spend the night once or twice some weeks but she insisted she needed to go home and catch up on work. They had been dating for two years and even though he was ready to marry her, they rarely discussed it. He knew deep inside that Tiffany wouldn't want to marry him, until he made partner. In her world status was everything.
Nashon worked extra hard to prove to his company that he was partner material. He often golfed with Tom and Mr. Winters, and they encouraged him to continue climbing the corporate ladder. He knew in maybe a year he would be considered for partner. Nashon was ready to make his first big purchase a Lamborghini Urus. He had visited the dealership a few times to check it out. He figured since Mel's birthday was coming up, he will gift him his BMW and get it kitted out for him.
Mel was throwing a huge party at the house. Mel always had huge parties and the whole neighborhood would come by. Nashon hadn't visited the hood for over a year. He knew the next time he went he would have to take Tiffany to meet the family. Nashon's aunty called to make sure him and Tiffany were coming. I'll be there Aunty. You will both be here, right? Yes, Aunty.
Nashon was nervous bringing Tiffany to the hood. He had grown accustomed to the high class, uppity lifestyle and knew how the hood shenanigans were frowned upon in Tiffany's circle, but if Tiffany was going to be his wife one day, she had to experience all sides of him. Nashon's birthday was a month before Mel's. Him and Tiffany stopped to the dealers and he purchased his dream car, an all black Lamborghini Urus with white interior. Tiffany wanted to assist with his purchase, but he insisted it was something he wanted to do for himself.
He dropped his BMW off to the detailer to get it ready for Mel. He and Tiffany spent the weekend at the Melroose house to celebrate his birthday. Well, Tiff we're back where it all started, Nashon said, as he kissed her forehead as they walked into the doors. You've come a long way Shaun I'm proud of you. Thank you, Tif I couldn't have done it without you.
