August

"Right here Mr. Alsina?"

"Yea man, that's perfect."

Setting things up here at the Villa, Alei was out in town with Amirah and Gabe.

Being honest with her, I told her I needed her to leave for some hours because I had a surprise for her.

Not bothering you even ask, she agreed and got them organized. Getting a car for them, they left and since then been out. Every now and then she would call me or send me a photo of something.

"Hello?"

Hearing a familiar voice, I smiled and made my way to the front. Seeing our mothers walk through the door, I greeted them.

"Hey how was the flight?" I helped with the bags.

Same time Alei's dad and brother came walking in along with my brothers and sister and our friends.

"Wassup y'all." I greeted them.

"Hey man."

"Wassup bro."

"Is she here Aug?" Her mother asked.

"Nah. She went into town with the little ones."

"OK. Well just guide me to a room then let me know how I can assist."

Smiling, everything was really coming together now. Once everyone was settled, they all helped finish fixing and setting up.

"Ms. E?"

Giving me her attention, I called her over to me.

"I need to show you something and tell me what you think."

"Sure love."

Walking off, she followed me to the children's room. Getting on the floor, I got it out.

"What the hell?" She laughed.

"Its the only place I could hide it." I placed it on the bed.

Unziping the bag, I opened it.

"Ya think she'll like it?"

"Oh wow. Thats beautiful Aug. Of course she will."

"Thanks."

"She doesn't suspect anything at all?"

"Nope." I laughed.

"Well that's good."

Closing the bag, I put it back and we rejoined everyone. As well sat and ate, my phone rang.

"Yea angel face?"

"We're on our way back. Amirah is cranky and needs her nap and Gabe is out. Can you meet me out front to help me with the bags."

"You shopped a lot huh?" I laughed.

"Just a little a lot."

"Aight. I'a be out there waiting."

"Thank you."

"Aight y'all. I'm gonna need y'all ta hide fa a bit. Alei on h way back and Ion want ha seeing y'all before she wakes up from her nap."

"How you know she gonna take a nap?" Travis asked.

"Because that's Aleisha." Her brother answered. "All she do is sleep."

Laughing, we knew it was the truth.

"Aight y'all."

A short while later, the car pulled up. Everyone went somewhere while I walked out side. Getting out, she removed Gabe's interfold carseat that dropped down into a stroller before lifting Amirah out.
