Khalil POV
As soon as I pulled into the driveway and put the car in park, Avaa was rushing out the car. Well rushing by her standards, but rushing nonetheless. I wasn't too far behind her, though, and got in the door just in time to see her mini jogging to the nearest bathroom. Damn she must've been about to pee on herself I thought and made my way to the kitchen, in the opposite direction.
Okay, the stuffing will take the longest, so stuffing first I thought out loud as I shuffled through the pantry for the all the necessary ingredients. Since there were only two more things to make, I was going to make the stuffing using my Grandma Pearl's recipe and Avaa was going to make the mac and cheese. Apparently her Great-grandma Bessie's recipe was "to die for," but I'll be the judge of that because so far, nobody has rivaled any of Grandma Pearl's recipes.
I grabbed a mixing bowl and dumped the cornbread mix and other ingredients in just as Avaa entered the kitchen.
"What, you almost peed on ya self?" I smirked as she grabbed what she'd need for the mac and cheese.
"Nigga..." she glared at me and I couldn't hold in my laugh in any more.
"You peed on yourself, didn't you?" I asked and my laugh got much bigger. Every time I wound down and was ready to get back to work, I would look at her face giving me the "nigga are you done" look and lose it all over again.
"You keep it up and I'll take my ass right to sleep after everybody leaves" Avaa threatened and I immediately stood upright. Tonight was the last time we'd have to get it on before I leave in the morning and I was not going to mess that up. "That's what I thought..." I heard Avaa mumble at me. Now by no means did she run me like she thought she did, but was I going to jeopardize sex to prove a point? Not tonight- so this round goes to Avaa. Later tonight, she'll know who really wears the pants, so I aint that pressed.
"You right, my bad baby" I said getting back to work on the cornbread stuffing mix in front of me. I turned on one of Avaa's Christmas playlist and mixed everything together with my hands while Avaa cut up the cheese blocks. The first song that came on was Under My Christmas Tree from the Braxton Family Christmas album and we began singing to ourselves. A few songs later, I was done with the first half of the stuffing recipe and stuck the cornbread into the oven.
"Rd babe, what else you need me to do?" I asked.
"Well I'm just about done putting all the stuff in this pan for the baked mac and cheese , but I don't wanna put the stuff on until about an hour before dinner, so nothing dries out" she looked around the kitchen to see if there was something else to be done, "oh you could set the table and have it ready for all the food to be sat out" Avaa suggested.
"Sounds good" I said making my way to the formal dining room as she put the finishing touches on the mac and cheese.
"Use my good china please!" Avaa yelled, "and don't forget to set plates out for Kina's boyfriend, Eric and Julia's boyfriend, Gio"
"I got you!" I yelled back. I grabbed the good china from the china cabinet like Avaa requested and laid out enough place settings for all of our guests and set up a kiddie table beside the big table. After the plates came all of the utensils, so I grabbed a handful of forks and dashed around the table, laying out forks beside each plate. Then I did the same with knives, napkins, and spoons and reserved the paper and plasticware for the kiddie table. I do not need them kids breaking Avaa's favorite china, I'd never hear the end of it. I finished and took a look at my handiwork, making sure I didn't forget anything and nodded in approval. I glanced at the time on my phone and noticed the time, we only had 3 and a half hours until everybody got here. Time to start part 3 of my Christmas gift to Avaa. I jogged upstairs to our bathroom and started her bath. It is my ultimate goal to make this day as relaxing and fun as possible for her because Avaa is more than half way to her due date and doesn't need any additional stress and shit. I made sure the dial was to the right temperature before letting it run. While the tub filled, I lit a few of her favorite scented candles and set up some apple juice and fruit beside the tub for her to eat. I had to sneak back in the kitchen while Avaa was in the bathroom for that stuff. As the water got higher, I added in some rose scented bubble bath and Epson salt. And when it got high enough, I turned the water off and dimmed the lights. Perfect
