  “They asses sound like a bunch of gossiping boppers,” Leah whispered over her shoulder before she asked the cashier if the hiring manager was in.

  Tyson shook his head and laughed, she and NuNu were definitely alike in a lot of ways.

  “Daynice to the front,” the cashier called over the microphone and then asked if Leah could step to the side to wait as she took Tyson’s order.

  The manager walked from the back and the cashier told her that Leah was looking for the hiring manager. Daynice approached Leah and asked if they could sit at the booth right behind them. After 30 minutes of talking and laughing Leah walked out with a job and a start date. She ran to Tyson’s car excited and ready to share the news. She climbed into the car and all she heard was.

  “Ty if my damn frosty is melted by the time you get back here we are going to have serious issues.”

  Leah laughed and took the phone from him.

  “Girl calm yo pregnant ass down I'll make sure he grabs you a new one right now, stop being so damn moody,” Leah said, trying to stop NuNu from fussing.

  “Bye Leah didn't nobody ask you shit,” NuNu shot back hanging up.

  Leah and Tyson both laughed. NuNu was already mean but this pregnancy was going to make her the devil for sure.

  “What are you going to do with her ass?” Leah asked, still laughing.

  “Pay her evil ass no attention when she acts like that,” Tyson said as he pulled through the drive-thru to order his lady another medium chocolate frosty.

  He ordered the frosty, paid and then headed straight back to the crib. Leah and Tyson talked more about the party and her getting the job on their way. Leah decided to stay with them for the rest of the day, wanting to spend time with NuNu after finding out about the baby and that she could drive. That small milestone had made Leah feel like she was missing out on important things in her friend's life, so she wanted to do some bonding. They laid around talking and watching BET for the rest of the day.

  2 weeks Later

  It was the night of NuNu’s 19th birthday party as Leah prepared herself for the evening. She and Marcus had shopped for hours trying to find the perfect all black outfits for the party’s theme. When Tyson had come to her asking for ideas, they both agreed on an all black attire theme. Leah wore a black v-cut dress that came mid-thigh and Marcus had accompanied her with an all black suit brought out the man in him. He had requested that she wear the braids that Janet Jackson had in the movie Poetic Justice and she did as he asked. Marcus stepped in as he watched Leah add the finishing touches to her look by laying her baby hairs down and then adding earrings. She was beautiful. The way the dress hugged her hips made Marcus want to indulge in her before the party. Calm down homie, we don’t have time right now. We’ll hit that shit later, he coached.

  “You look fine as hell bey,” he stated as he entered the room completely. Leah smiled in the mirror and gave him a wink.

  “You ready?” he asked as he stood behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. “Yep, let’s roll,” Leah said as she turned and pecked his lips.

  “You don’t look half bad yourself,” she said as she craned her neck back while pulling at his suit jacket.

  “Yeah, ya man do look good, don’t I?” he said as he swiped a hand down his face.

  Leah rolled her eyes.

  “Alright now you can calm down homie you not all that,” she said playfully.

  They made their way to the party and pulled up at the same time as Tyson and NuNu. NuNu stepped out of the car in a black and gold one strap dress. The dress showed every single curve NuNu had and revealed her small baby bump. Her hair was bone straight with a middle part and her high yellow skin was glowing. Tyson was by her side with an all black suit on, with a gold shirt underneath. Tyson had paid his old school homie to use his night club for the event instead of who Leah had suggested, and he held back no expense. The couples stepped in the club and NuNu’s mouth dropped. The club had black and gold balloons everywhere, black covered tables had been set with gold candles on top, and a live DJ in the booth. “Happy Birthday to our girl Nu’Asia,” the DJ announced as Tyson gave him a head nod. The club was already packed with guests who were invited and NuNu couldn’t believe her eyes. She had to blink away tears as she wiped at the corner of each eye.

  “Ty, you didn’t have to do all this,” she said, turning to him.

  Tyson leaned down and kissed her, “I know ma, but I wanted to.”

  NuNu stood on her tip toes as she kissed him again and then whispered in his ear, “we’re doing some serious fucking when we get home.”

  “Indeed,” he said with a smirk as he led her to the dance floor.

  Leah and Marcus trailed behind the couple as they made their way to the dance floor. Leah tapped NuNu on the shoulder. “Leah Booo,” NuNu said dramatically. “Happy Birthday baby,” Leah said, closing the space in between them and taking NuNu in for a hug. NuNu meant everything to Leah and she was ready to celebrate yet another special birthday with her sister. They had a long night ahead of them and she hoped NuNu was ready to have a great night because Tyson had indeed out done himself. She held onto NuNu as they hugged, she looked ahead at the DJ’s booth and saw an image of Mandy standing next to him, naked with bolts going through her body. Leah jumped causing the girls to part for a brief moment.

  “You ard?” NuNu asked as she stepped back, looking puzzled. Leah still staring straight ahead nodded. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

  “Yeah, boo I'm fine,” she said plastering on a fake smile.

  “I see Ty got your ass talking like him,” Leah said laughing after realizing NuNu had used ard instead of aight.

  Leah took a step back, looking NuNu up and down. NuNu looked amazing, pregnant belly and all. “You are rocking that dress Nu,” she said, taking another step back and then stuck her tongue out. NuNu smiled and stuck her tongue out as well. She knew she was popping because she had spent a lot of time putting herself together for the night. Tyson tapped her, grasping her attention with the set of keys he was holding out. NuNu’s mouth hit the floor,

  “Ty, what are these for?” she asked, taking them from his grasp.

  “Your black and pink Cuttie that’s sitting outside, ma,” he replied with a wink.

  “Ayyye,” NuNu screamed as she jumped up into his arms.

  Tyson caught her effortlessly, bear hugging her but not too tight.

  “I freaking love you Ty, thanks baby,” she whispered.

  Tyson kissed the side of her neck before placing her back down on her feet.

  “No, thank you, ma. Thank you for being love and showing me love. I love you more lor mama.”

  NuNu leaned up and kissed him sensually, she loved this boy and everything about him.

  She would have never envisioned in her life to end up with him. This was the type of fantasy that she saw playout on T.V. as a young teen. That Corey and Topanga from Boy Meets World type fantasy, but here she was living the vision and she was loving every second. NuNu pulled back from their kiss and snatched Leah by the hand and dragged her outside to see her new car. Tyson and Marcus swaggered behind the girls.

  “You a sucka,” Marcus said laughing as he slapped Tyson on the shoulder playfully. “Nah, you're a dummy,” Tyson shot back.

  As they stepped into the parking lot, one of Tyson’s boys climbed out of the driver seat and handed Tyson the spare keys.

  NuNu squealed in excitement as she climbed in the driver seat and Leah in the passenger. She was becoming emotional as tears started pooling in her eyes. It didn’t help that she was pregnant, and her hormones were all over the place. Tyson, as usual sensed the emotions and gravitated toward her. He kneeled in front of her, cuffing her hands inside of his. He looked at her and his look told her that he needed to know her thoughts. They were that in tune with each other that they were able to communicate through looks alone.

  “Ty, you’ve made this the best birthday ever,” she said as she began to cry. She cou
ldn’t keep the tears back any longer. They rained down over her pretty face and Tyson stood and pulled her out of the car.

  “Stop crying ma, you deserve everything you have been giving,” he said, clearing the tears from her face.

  He kissed her and in return, she stuck her tongue in his mouth. NuNu appreciated him and she was ready for the night to end so she could show him just how much she appreciated him.

  “I’m ready to go Ty,” she said in a seductive tone.

  Tyson smiled. He knew when her voice got like that, she was ready to play house.

  “Nu, what about the party ma?” He asked, chuckling at her eagerness.

  “Ty, the party was cute, thank you but this kitty puurringg and I’m ready to let out a few meows,” NuNu said, kissing him deeply while sliding her hand down to the seat of his slacks. Tyson groaned and lost all restraints.

  “That’s why your ass pregnant now,” Leah called from the other side of the car.

  “Girl shut the hell up and get out,” NuNu said.

  She gave Tyson one last peck and whispered in his ear to meet her at home. She was ready to come out of her clothes and show him her birthday suit.

  “Nu, what about the party?” Leah asked as she climbed out the car in irritation.

  “I’m finishing the party at home Leah damn. Now get out because I got shit to do.” She said dismissively.

  “Come on bey let’s shake,” Marcus said as he approached Tyson and dapped him up. “Aight Dummy, I’ll rap with you later.”
