[REPEAT CHORUS] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 8/14/04 - 4:00 p.m. Omarion was in the middle of getting ready to take Dayna out on a special date in a few hours when someone rang his doorbell. Once he reached the door and opened it, he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"Tashia, what are you doin' here?", he angrily asked.
"I have to go out of town with ma and I don't wanna take Brina with me.", she nonchalantly replied as she walked across his living room toting their 4-year-old daughter, Sabrina, on her hip.
"It's not even my weekend to keep her!", he whispered with a shrug of his shoulders so their child wouldn't hear him.
"I know, but my aunty has come down with somethin' and ma needs me to go with her to help out. I should be back sometime tomorrow evenin'.", she stated while sitting down on the sofa with Sabrina on her lap. She then proceeded to retie a ribbon that was about to slide off of one of her many ponytails.
" Daddy? Can I watch cartoons?", she asked after sliding off of Tashia’s lap and running over to Omarion. She lovingly threw her little arms around his legs.
He couldn't help from smiling as he bent down to pick her up. "Of course you can, lil' momma." Without giving Tashia as much as a glance while walking past her, he sat Sabrina back down on the sofa and turned to Nickelodeon for her. "Sit here and be a good lil' girl for daddy while mommy and I talk in the other room. Okay?", he smiled.
"Okay.", she smiled.
"That's my girl!", he grinned as they shared a quick peck on the lips.
"Come with me for a minute.", he grumbled to Tashia as he walked past her once more. She sucked her teeth and followed him to the far end of the apartment so they could talk about their present situation in private.
"So w'sup? You can't keep our daughter because you have one of your girls comin' over?", Tashia huffed while folding her arms and leaning up against his dresser.
"First of all...I left GIRLS alone a long time ago or did you not figure that out yet?", he spat while flopping down on the bed. "And yeah, I had special plans for a WOMAN I'm seein' tonight."
"Yeah, whateva! So I guess what you're sayin' is that a female comes before your own child.", she snapped while glaring at him.
"Man...I ain't got time for this. As much as I love our baby in there, I can't watch her tonight. Go find one of your cousins or sisters to watch her.", he huffed as he stood up from the bed to finish dressing in his clothes.
"Oh I don't EVEN think so! You're the one who laid down and helped me to create Brina, so you're gonna have to watch her!"
Omarion clenched his fists after whirling around to give her an icy stare before walking around to the other side of the bed to make a phone call while Tashia watched him.
"Hello?", Dayna smiled when she checked her caller ID and saw that it was Omarion.
"Hey, ma. How ya doin'?", he tried to ask in a pleasant tone.
"I'm aight, but the question is how are you?", she asked after noticing that he didn't sound well.
"Well now that you ask, I don't feel so great because somethin' has come up so I'ma have to postpone our plans until next weekend. I'm sorry.", he wearily sighed while shaking his head.
"It's okay, Mari. Really. Besides, you sound like you don't feel well.", Dayna stated in a concerned tone. "Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Nah...I'll be fine. But thanks anyway.", he managed to smile.
"Oh, okay then.", she sighed while trying to hide the obvious disappointment in her voice. "Get some rest and take care until I see ya."
"Aight...I love you.", he grinned. He didn't even care that Tashia had heard him.
"I love you too. Buh bye.", Dayna smiled.
"Bye." After hanging up, Omarion stood up from the bed and turned to face Tashia.
"I hope your ass is happy now." He then proceeded to angrily brush past her as he headed back into the living room to sit with Sabrina.
In the meantime, Tashia told him that she would be back in about an hour with Sabrina's favorite pair of pajamas. Even though Omarion had some of her pajamas that he kept in his room, Sabrina wanted her "Spongebob Squarepants" set. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

8/14/04 - 5:19 p.m. Tashia and Omarion got into a heated argument when she returned. For the sake of Sabrina, he told Tashia to rejoin him back in his bedroom.
While they continued to argue, Dayna walked up to his front door to surprise and keep him company after dropping by the grocery store on her way there to pick up some juice and other light food items since she figured that he may have been coming down with a stomach virus that was going around.
When Sabrina heard the doorbell, she called out to both of her parents, but they didn't hear her. That's when she decided to climb down off of the sofa and walk over to the door to open it.
A puzzled look came over Dayna's face when Sabrina slowly opened the door. However, she smiled and asked her if Omarion was home.
"Uh huh, daddy is here.", Sabrina replied with a nod of her head. "What's your name?"
" Daddy?! What the hell is this lil' girl talkin' about?!", Dayna angrily thought to herself. After getting her anger under control, she managed to smile and told Sabrina what her name was.
"Oh...okay. You want me to get him for you?", Sabrina asked with an innocent and cute smile.
"Yes, please. Thank you.", Dayna replied while standing in the middle of the room in an almost state of shock. However, before Sabrina had made it all the way over to the other side of Omarion’s apartment, he was walking out of the back still dressed only in his jeans and socks. Tashia came out behind him while playing in her hair.
"Boo, were you callin' us?", Omarion asked as he lifted Sabrina up into his arms.
"Uh huh...it's a lady here for you.", she stated with a nod of her head while playing with one of his braids.
"What lady?", Omarion asked before he noticed Dayna standing several feet away from him and Tashia. He could see that her eyes were watery from the tears that were on the verge of falling. He slowly placed Sabrina back on the floor while heading in Dayna's direction.
"No, don't come near me!", she huffed as she backed up away from him while watching Tashia who had a small smirk on her face while looking at them.
" Dayna, it's not what you think.", he sadly replied while trying to reach out and take one of her hands. However, she quickly snatched it away.
"How come you couldn't tell me you had a child?! And who the hell is she?!", she cried as tears began to quickly run down her cheeks.
"That's my mommy!", Sabrina answered as she ran over to Tashia to grab her hand.
"Mari?!", Dayna sobbed as she gave him a hurt-filled look. "I can't believe you!" She turned and ran out of his apartment with him going after her out into the hall.
" Dayna, please listen to me!", he pleaded as she ran all the way down the hall for the elevator.
"Go to hell!", she yelled after climbing inside the elevator right before the doors closed.
" Dammit!", he spat through clenched teeth while placing his hands on top of his head. He stood in this position for about two minutes in silence until he heard someone walking up behind him. When he turned around, it was Tashia and Sabrina walking hand-in-hand.
"I'll be back for her tomorrow around 4:00.", Tashia smirked as she placed Sabrina in his arms before she headed for the elevator as well.
" Daddy, why was that lady cryin'?", Sabrina asked him as they headed back to his apartment. However, he didn't answer. Instead he gave her a light kiss on the cheek. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 8/14/04 - 6:20 p.m. I was on the sofa reading Omar Tyree's "Fly Girl" when my doorbell rang just as I was getting to a good part. I was still reading as I headed for the door while asking who was it. When Nick answered that it was him, I quickened my pace to let him in. Although he and I hadn't started a relationship nor shared any more kisses, I was still falling deeply in love with him. Not to mention that I was trying to mentally prepare myself for his departure on next weekend to hit the road for a few months. I couldn’t help from missing him already.
"Hey!", I smiled once our eyes met after I opened the door.
"W'sup, short stuff!", he joked as we gave each other a friendly hug.
"I thought you had to go out of town to do a show tonight?", I asked as we walked over to my sofa to sit down.
"I did, but it was canceled at the last minute. A fight broke out and some sh!t got damaged at the spot last night, so it's shut down for repairs.", he huffed with a shake of his head and a roll of his eyes.
" Damn! Your peeps can't go nowhere without startin' sh!t can they?", I joked while lying back down on the sofa. I proceeded to place my newly manicured feet in his lap to show them off.
"Anyway…! I see you finally got the crust scraped off your footses.", he laughed while gently placing my left one in his hands to rub.
"Mmmmmm hmmmmm. Now when you're done with that one, get to work on the otha foot!", I sighed as I sat back to finish reading the last part of the book that I was on.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah.", he smiled as he watched me reading while he continued to massage my foot. "Are you gonna be busy tonight?"
"Nah...my only plans were to stay home and chill. Why?", I asked without removing my eyes from my book.
"Well, ummm...I wanted to know if you...", he began before my doorbell rang again. He volunteered to get up and get it for me. On his way over to the door, he kept chastising himself for not asking me out to dinner any quicker than he had before being interrupted.
When he opened the door, I immediately recognized Dayna's voice as she cried uncontrollably. I jumped up from the sofa to see what had happened to her.
" Day what's wrong?!", I anxiously asked while pulling her into my arms to console her. However, she continued to cry while Nick helped me to walk her over to the sofa.
"Listen, I'll call you lata.", he whispered to me before heading for the door to let himself out.
For the next several minutes I held Dayna in my arms as she cried her heart out. When she was ready to talk, she lifted her head off of my shoulder to tell me what was wrong. In the meantime, I handed her a few Kleenex to wipe her tears away.
"Omarion...he...his small daughter and baby's momma was at his place when I went ova there a few minutes ago.", she stated in between sobs.
"What? Oh my God! Are you serious, Day?!", I asked in a shocked tone while staring at her.
"Yeah, he had no choice but to tell me the truth. But we've been togetha a lil' ova three months and before now he had neva so much as mentioned that he had a small child with someone."

"I am so sorry, but maybe you should hear him out and see why it's taken him so long to tell you.", I suggested while placing her braids over her shoulder away from her face.
"I don't think I want to because he and his baby's momma were comin' from the back when his lil' girl let me inside. Nay, he was only dressed in his jeans and ol' girl was puttin' her hair back in place! I don't ever want to see him again!", she heavily sobbed while leaning forward and burying her face in her hands.
Damn! I didn't know what to think after she told me this piece of information. After all, I had experienced a similar situation when I caught Xavier and that female at his place. Hmmmph...that's funny! Up until now, I had forgotten all about his dumb ass thanks to Nick and I having so much fun whenever we were around each other. I'll be glad when I get up the nerve to tell him just how I feel about him. But anyway, I have more important things to deal with right now. I gotta do something to pick my baby sis up.
"Ummmm...maybe he has a rational explanation for that, if you give him a chance to tell you.", I stated.
Dayna gave me a look of surprise. "Nay Nay! Don't you rememba how you felt when you caught that ho at Xavier's house that time?!"
I couldn't help from chuckling before answering. "Yeah, I rememba. But at least hear O out because you didn't literally catch him in the act, so there's a good chance that nothin' happened."
"I'ono...I think I juss need to leave his ass alone. Is it okay to stay here tonight? I don't feel like goin' back home and I sho' as hell ain't goin' ova to ma and daddy's so I can hear her run her mouth non-stop!", she managed to chuckle in between tears.
"Sure you can, girl.", I smiled with a nod of my head.
"Thanks. I'ma go take a shower and find somethin' of yours to put on.", she laughed this time while standing up.
" Damn! Some things neva change!", I joked as I stood up to give her a reassuring hug. "Listen...while you're doin' that, I'ma run to the store and pick up some junk food. And when I get back, we're gonna trip out watchin' some ol' music videos like we used to do back in the day!"
"Aight, coo'! And thanks again.", she smiled before we shared one more sisterly hug.
On my way out the door, I picked up my phone from the kitchen table which was next to Dayna’s phone that she threw down when she came in. However, as I made my way downstairs, I noticed that my phone was off even though I thought I had left it on from earlier in the day.
Several minutes later after arriving at the grocery store, I received a call on my phone. The moment I answered, a male voice began to speak.
" Dayna, please don't hang up!", Omarion pleaded.
"Ummm...this isn't Dayna.", I replied. However I knew that it was him since he said my sister's name. That's when I realized I had picked up her phone by accident.
"Oh, I'm sorry...", he stated as he was about to hang up. However, I quickly stopped him. "This is Dayna's sister, LaNaya. I guess I picked up her phone by mistake."
"No problem. But could you tell her I called and that I really want to talk to her?", he asked in a sincere but sad tone.
"Yeah, but can I ask you somethin'?", I asked as I pushed my cart up and down the snack food aisle filling it with boxes of Twinkies and Little Debbie cakes as well as a large bag of Cheetos and Lay's Sour Cream and Onion potato chips. I was about to pass my bag of Chewy Chips Ahoy until I made a u-turn in the middle of the aisle while almost taking out an elderly man who was directly behind me. I quickly apologized to him.
"What is it?", Omarion asked.
"Why the hell you didn't tell my sis that you had a child?"
"It's because I was waitin' for the right time to tell her which would have been tonight if our plans didn't have to be cancelled on the count of havin' to watch my daughter. I neva meant to hurt Dayna though. I had no idea our relationship would have moved as fast as it has. There's no denyin' that I love her, LaNaya.", he wearily sighed.
It was then and there that I knew he was truly sincere with his. I told him that I'd talk to her when I went home even though I couldn't promise anything because he and I both knew how stubborn she could be.
"I'd ratha talk to her myself if possible. Ya know to explain everything to her.", he replied.
"But you know she's not gonna pick up the phone, O.", I half-laughed as I headed for the frozen food section to get a box of Breyers French Vanilla ice cream.
" Damn! What am I gonna do?", he thought aloud to himself.
In the meantime, I told him to let me see if I could think of something. Then it hit me. I told him to call me back in about ten minutes so I could make a quick phone call. Although there was some skepticism in his voice, he agreed to my request.
I immediately dialed Nick up to see if he'd be home for the next two hours or so. When he told me that he would, I told him I'd explain everything when I came back home before rudely hanging up on him. I'd just have to apologize once I reached his place.
Anyway, while I was in the checkout line, I received a call. Like clockwork, Omarion was returning my call.
"Okay...so what's goin' on?", he asked.
"Is it possible for you to drop by Nick's place within the next hour? I have a way for you to talk to Day.", I slyly smiled while paying the cashier.
"Man, the only way she's gonna wanna talk to me in person is if I lock her in a room with me. I think if she could juss speak with me on the phone that would be the best thing.", he chuckled.
"Nah...I got it set up where yall will be locked in a room. So don't EVEN worry about that!", I laughed.
"Hunh?!", he laughed back.
"Look, juss lemme know if you're comin' or not!", I huffed while giggling.
"Aight, I guess I can get Nick to watch Brina for a lil' while.", he smiled.
"I'll help him watch her.", I agreed with a head nod.
"Okay...thanks. I'll be there in a lil' bit. Bye."
"Bye." After I hung up with him, I zoomed home to explain things to Nick. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

8/14/04 - 7:01 p.m. "…And you females are so quick to say that us guys are sneaky asses!", Nick huffed with a shake of his head as we stood in his doorway. I had just finished explaining the situation at hand to him.
"Yeah, whateva! Anyway, I can't let my sis lose out on a good thing.", I smiled. "I'll call ya to come ova with Brina after I put my plan into play O comes ova here. Bye, silly." I stood on my tiptoes to give him a quick but friendly kiss goodbye.
"Bye, ma.", he yelled after me. "With your sneaky self! You need to be spanked!"
"Well if I do, it won't be by you!", I replied after turning around to stick my tongue out at him.
"Wanna bet?!", he joked with a devilish wink as he pretended to go for his belt.
"Bye, foo'!", I laughed as I stepped inside my own place. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 8/14/04 - 7:42 p.m. Dayna and I were watching Puff and Mase's "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down" video while having a junk food fest when my house phone began to ring. It was Nick calling to see if the coast was clear for Omarion to come over. I sat upright while trying to keep a look of panic off of my face. In all of the excitement, I had forgotten what I would need to do in order to sneak Omarion inside my place without Dayna seeing him.
"Oh hey, Nick...ummmm...lemme go see if I have your CD in the back.", I lied as I quickly stood up and walked to my bedroom. As soon as I reached it, I told him to have Omarion come on over and that as soon as I let him in, he would have to be quick in hiding in the closet in my spare bedroom that I would lock from the outside once I could coax Dayna to go inside of it. After talking over my new game plan, I came running out of my room like crazy.
"Smokey?! Why did you do that to Day's shoe?!", I yelled at him after reaching the living room. I knew this would get her up.
"What did that fleabag do?!", she anxiously shrieked as she jumped up and took off running towards the back. In the meantime, Smokey gave me a look like "what the hell are you talkin' about". And like that, he went back to licking his paws which was a part of his pre-nap ritual.
As soon as I walked over to the door and opened it, I quickly pulled Omarion in by the hand and hid him behind the bar that separated my living room from the kitchen.
"Nay Nay?! Where the hell is my shoe?! I can't find it to see what that damn cat of yours did to it!", Dayna huffed as she came stomping down the hall.
I put my finger up to my mouth while looking at Omarion. He quietly nodded his head while trying not to laugh.
"Huh? Oh...I saw it in my room.", I lied as I quickly walked out of the kitchen while pretending to dry my hands with a papertowel.
"I didn't put my shoes in there!", she huffed with an angry look on her face.
"I know YOU didn't, but I guess that's where Smokey took it.", I replied with a shrug of my shoulders. In actuality, I had placed the shoes there myself.
"Please don't tell me you on that stuff!", she joked as she headed back down the hall to my bedroom.
"Whateva!", I nervously laughed while Omarion peeked over the top of the bar. I quickly waved my hand for him to follow me while keeping an eye on the hallway. We had made it halfway down there when Dayna came storming out of the room. I forcefully shoved him into the bathroom which caused him to fall onto the toilet. In the process of falling, he managed to knock over some of my items that I kept on the sink when he tried to reach out and balance himself. I quickly ran in after him and closed the door.
"What the fvck you tryna do...kill me?!", he angrily whispered as I quickly turned the light switch on.
"Shhhhhh!!!", I spat at him.
"LaNaya?!!! Are you okay?!", Dayna asked while knocking on the door.
"Get in the shower!", I whispered to him before cracking the door open. He almost tore my shower curtains down trying to pull them back to step into the tub.
"Ummmmmmmm...I'm aight.", I innocently smiled after sticking my head out of the door.
"Well I don't think so, because my shoes are juss fine!", she huffed while thrusting them into my face.
"Oh...well it must've been my shoes that Smokey messed up.", I replied.
"You 'bout to be foolish!", she sighed with a roll of her eyes before I closed the door in her face.
"Look, maybe we should forget this!", Omarion whispered after stepping out of the tub.
"Nope! You're almost in there! I juss gotta get ya in the closet and then err'thang will be set.", I whispered back.
"Well let's hurry up and do this before I change my mind again!", he quietly huffed.
"Hold your damn horses!", I snapped while flushing the toilet and running the water as if I were washing my hands. Afterwards, I quietly opened the door and stuck my head out into the hallway. When I heard Dayna laughing while watching an old MC Hammer video, I grabbed him by his hand and ran with him into my spare bedroom that had the large closet with the window in it. In the past, I had used it to paint or draw in when I needed to be in my own little world.
"Stay here! I'll be back shortly!", I sighed with relief as he walked inside of it.
"Where else do you expect my ass to go?!", he replied with a shrug of his shoulders.
"See? I'm about sick of your damn mouth!", I stated while pointing my finger at him. "Juss keep quiet!" With that, I quietly closed the door and made my way back into the living room.
" Day? Could you help me get somethin' out of my closet?", I asked.
" Damn, girl! You juss as bad as ma! Now what is it?", she huffed as she slowly stood back up.
"I juss needed to see if you could grab the box of pictures from the top shelf of my closet since you're taller than I am. I thought it would be coo' for us to trip out at them. But if that's the way you gon' be about it, then forget I asked.", I sighed as I walked over to the sofa to sit down.
"Oh nah...that I don't mind helpin' with. It is gonna be funny as hell to see that ol' picture of daddy in his red and white checkerboard suit and red pimp hat with the black and white feather that he took at the club the night he met momma!", she laughed.
"I know right! Rememba that time I took it to school as a part of show and tell and got in trouble for it?! But I'ono why he was mad. Nobody told him to buy that crazy lookin' sh!t!", I laughed back as we both headed down the hallway.
As soon as we reached the closet, I opened the door and turned the light on. Then without thinking twice about it, I gently pushed her inside and closed and locked the door from the outside.
"Oh sh!t nah! Open this damn door!", she yelled while pounding on it the minute she saw Omarion standing next to her.
" Dayna, Dayna, Dayna! Hol' up, ma! I juss need five minutes!", he stated while trying to grab up to her hands that she kept snatching away.
" Do you want your ass whuppin' before or after LaNaya's?!", she spat while backing up away from him.
"Well, damn!", he laughed.
Dayna wanted to laugh along with him, but her stubborness wouldn't let her. Instead, she turned her back to him while looking out of the window.
" Dayna, I need to start by tellin' you that I'm sorry.", he whispered as he slowly approached her. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Awwwwwww...you must be Sabrina!", I smiled when she and Nick arrived at my place about 10 minutes after I called to let him know that all systems were go. He carried her in on his back. She was the spitting image of Omarion; especially when she smiled and laughed as Nick danced to Tribe Called Quest's "Electric Relaxation" video that I was blasting.
"Hi!", she bashfully giggled once he turned to the side so I could shake her little hand.
"You ready to get down?", Nick smiled while slightly turning his head back to look at her.
"Yes!", she laughed while continuing to tightly hold on to his neck.
"Okay!", he replied before he grabbed me around the waist to dance while playfully flinging Sabrina from one side of his back to the other.
"Nick, put that baby down and cut it out!", I laughed as I squirmed out of his embrace.
"But she the one that said she wanted to get down! I was juss doin' what she told me to!", he laughed while stooping down so Sabrina could slide off of his back.
The minute her feet were on the floor, she ran over to Smokey to play with him.
"Get away from that evil thang!", he yelled while trying to stop her. However, I began to laugh when I saw how Smokey pleasantly reacted to her as she rubbed the top of his head.
"I want a kitty, but my mommy said I can't have one.", she sadly replied.
"Awwwwww...well you have all the fun you want playin' with Smokey.", I smiled as I knelt down beside her.
"Okay. Mr. Nicky, c’mon and play with Mr. Smokey with me.", she smiled while glancing over her shoulder at Nick as he made himself comfortable on the sofa.
"Nah, that's okay, Bree-Bree.", he smiled while shaking his head.
"Oh c'mon.", I teased as I picked Smokey up and headed over to the sofa.
" Don't start!", he laughed while jumping up to move away from us.
" Don't you like Mr. Smokey?", Sabrina asked as she walked up to Nick.
"Yeah, but he doesn't like me.", he chuckled.
"Yes, he does. Don't you, boo?", I cooed as I nuzzled my face up against the back of Smokey's head. However, he made a growling type noise while staring at Nick.
"You betta be glad I'm a non-believer of cruelty to animals.", he laughed as he sat down on the loveseat. Sabrina climbed onto it to sit beside him.
"Yeah, yeah.", I chuckled. "So, Sabrina...are you allowed to have a snack?"
"Yes. Do you have any cookies?", she asked with a big smile.
"I sure do. C'mon...I'll get you one." I placed Smokey on the sofa and walked into the kitchen where I washed my hands and made her a glass of apple juice along with placing two Chips Ahoy cookies on a napkin for her to have. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "...So that's the reason why I hadn't told you yet. I can't help that I was afraid of losin' you if I told you too soon.", Omarion sighed while continuing to watch Dayna's back.
"Bullsh!t!", she huffed with a shake of her head.
" Dammit! It's not bullsh!t!", he yelled as he turned away to punch the wall next to him.
This made her jump out of fear since this wasn't a usual part of Omarion's character. She couldn't stop the flow of tears that began to roll down her cheeks as she stared at him.
When he saw how upset she had become, he immediately pulled her into his arms while apologizing for frightening her. However, she slowly backed up out of his embrace while continuing to look at him.
" Dayna, the last thing I want to do is hurt you.", he whispered as he stepped up closer to her although she put her head downward so she wouldn't have to look at him. That's when he gently took her two hands into his which he took turns kissing. "I'm sorry, ma."
This time when she looked up, she was crying again and noticed that he was on the verge of crying as well. But before either one could say a word, he removed his hands out of hers and placed them on either side of her face. Then he slowly leaned forward and kissed her. Afterwards, they sat together on the floor to sort out their problems. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 8/14/04 - 8:50 p.m. Sabrina and I were watching “The Proud Family” while Nick went into the kitchen to make himself something to drink. Just as we were dying laughing at Suga Momma saying something crazy as usual, Nick walked into the living room to ask for my help.
“I’ll be right back, okay?”, I smiled at Sabrina as I stood up.
“Okay.”, she smiled back although she kept her eyes glued to the tv while rubbing Smokey’s back as he slept across her lap.
“What’cha need?”, I asked Nick once we were alone.
“Listen…I have somethin’ that I need to tell you. I’ve been holdin’ off on it long enough.”, he quietly replied while taking one of my hands into his. I could tell from the serious look on his face that it must’ve been something extremely important that he had to tell me.
“What is it?”, I asked while staring into his eyes.
“Well you know that at this time next week, I’ll be goin’ out on the road with Shad and O which means I won’t be able to see you until the first of next year, but…”, he began with a sigh before we were interrupted by Sabrina who came walking into the kitchen to ask me if she could have some more juice. That’s when I glanced down at my watch and realized that I had left Dayna and Omarion in my closet for over an hour!
“Oh my God! Nick…can you get her some juice? I have to go check on somethin’ in the back right quick!”, I laughed before I took off running down the hall. I thought for sure that maybe Dayna may have all but killed Omarion if I didn’t know any better.
When I reached the room, I noticed that things were a lil’ TOO quiet as I approached the closet door. I proceeded to loudly knock on it, before unlocking and opening it. To my pleasant surprise, Dayna was sitting in between Omarion’s legs on the floor as they looked through the box of our family pictures.
“So err’thang’s aight?”, I smiled while looking at Dayna.
“Yeah…thanks.”, she smiled back.
“Yeah, thanks.”, Omarion laughed while looking at a picture he was holding. When Dayna leaned back to see what picture he was laughing at, she burst out laughing.
“What’chall lookin’ at?”, I laughed as I stepped up closer to them.
Dayna took the picture from him and handed it to me. I took one look at it and fell out. “Okay…yall are NOT funny!” It was a picture of me when I was about two. I must say that was one of the ugliest pictures I had ever taken in my life because I was screaming my head off because ma and daddy told me that I was mad because I didn’t want to give the photographer’s Kermit the Frog toy back to him.
“Wasn’t she an ugly sight though?!”, Dayna laughed.
Omarion was about to answer until he saw me glaring at him with folded arms.
“I make it a point not to get into family affairs.”, he laughed while giving me a wink.
“That’s what I thought.”, I chuckled. Just then, I heard Nick calling me as he and Sabrina walked down the hall together.
“I’m in here!”, I yelled. Several seconds later, they reached us.
“ Daddy!”, Sabrina giggled as she ran towards Omarion right after he and Dayna stood to their feet.
“Hey, boo!”, he smiled as he picked her up to hug and kiss her.
“That’s the lady that was at your house today.”, she stated with a puzzled look while pointing at Dayna.
“Yeah, I know. Her name is Miss Dayna.”, he smiled as they walked over to where Dayna and I were standing.
“Hi, Sabrina. It’s nice to meet you again.”, Dayna smiled as she shook her hand.
“Is she your girlfriend, Daddy?”, she asked while playing with one of his braids.
“What’chu know about girlfriends?”, he laughed before placing a light kiss on her forehead.
“I’m Devin’s girlfriend at school.”, she blushed before burying her head in his shoulder out of embarrassment. We couldn’t help from laughing.
“Oh is that so? I’m gonna have to meet this Devin!”, Omarion laughed while playfully swatting her on the bottom before placing her back on the floor. “But yeah…Miss Dayna is my girlfriend.”
“Awwwwwww.”, I sighed as I nudged Dayna with my elbow.
“That’s good because she’s nice.”, Sabrina smiled while looking up at Omarion.
“Thank you, sweetie.”, Dayna replied as she went to stand next to her. “You and I are gonna be good friends.”
“Okay.”, Sabrina giggled before taking a hold of Omarion’s hand. “ Daddy, can we go home and watch ’Shrek’?”
“Yeah, boo. Hey, Dayna…would you like to join us?”, he smiled while glancing at her.
“Sure. Lemme freshen up a bit.”
Several minutes later, she, Sabrina, and Omarion left my place leaving me and Nick all alone.

I was about to straighten up the living room a bit, before he asked me to join him on the sofa after turning the volume down on the tv. “Listen, before I speak again…are you expectin’ anybody else to come ova here?”, he chuckled while facing me. “Nooooo.”, I giggled. “So what was it that you were tryna tell me earlier?” He proceeded to give me a shy smile before speaking. “Ummmm…I’m gonna miss you while I’m gone and I feel like there’s no betta time than now to tell you that I care for you…A LOT.” I couldn’t help from blushing as I held my head downward while caressing the top of his hands that I was holding with my thumbs. “I care for you a lot too.”, I bashfully grinned. “How much?”, he smiled as he leaned forward and placed his forehead against mine. I answered his question with a light brush of my lips against his. “This much.” “That’s all?”, he joked in a hurt tone. “Well, how much do you care for me?”, I grinned as I brushed my nose against his. “Girl, stop! I’m ticklish!”, he chuckled as he pulled his head back to quickly rub his nose. Then without giving me notice, he gave me a long, deep kiss. “I care for you so much that I love you.” He then proceeded to lean his forehead back up against mine. My response to his statement was to smile as I lovingly rubbed the side of his face with my free hand that had been resting in my lap. Needless to say, we expressed our love for each other for the next hour or so. Afterwards, while we lay in each other’s arms in my room, Nick took it upon himself to get something else off of his chest. “Ummmm…now that we’re bein’ open with each otha, I thought I’d come clean about one more thing.”, he replied while rubbing my bare shoulder that was lying across his chest. “What is it?”, I asked. “Remember that day when I brought that piece of mail to you?”, he smiled while looking down at me. I slowly lifted my head and placed my chin on his shoulder to look at him. “Yeah.” “Wellll…one day earlier in that week while you were at work, I sorta went into your mailbox and pulled an envelope out at random so I’d have an excuse to come and see you.” For several seconds, I gave him a blank stare before we both began to laugh. “I know you didn’t…?!”, I replied as I sat up to grab a pillow to whack him with it. I got him smack dab in the face. “Man…I had to do something’!”, he laughed after quickly snatching the pillow away from me. “Yeah, whateva! But I’m glad you did.”, I smiled as I laid back down in his arms. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ FAST FORWARD 6 MONTHS LATER…2/14/05 - 5:32 p.m.While I should have been happy that I had received a bouquet of balloons as well as a dozen red roses on my job from Nick earlier in the day, I couldn’t help from feeling a lil’ sad since I knew I wasn’t going to be able to share Valentine’s Day with him until after 9:00 tonight. He told me that he had to attend a dinner meeting with his agent at the last minute to discuss several movie roles that were being offered to him through several film companies. After opening my door to step inside, I was greeted to a room full of both red and white roses and red heart-shaped balloons. I couldn’t help from letting out a deep sigh as I dropped my purse onto the sofa before placing my vase of roses and balloons down on the coffee table. That’s when I noticed a small red box wrapped in a white bow sitting next to my balloons. I quickly leaned forward and snatched it up. With shaky hands stemming from my excitement, I managed to open the box. Once again, I let out a deep sigh as I pulled a diamond and ruby tennis bracelet out of it. “Need any help puttin’ it on?”, Nick asked me as he came strolling into the living room dressed in only a pair of black silk boxers with red hearts plastered all over them. I couldn’t help from laughing; especially when I saw Smokey walking behind him with a big, red bow tied around his neck courtesy of, you guessed it...Nick. “What are you doin’ here?!”, I giggled as I ran into his open arms. “C’mon now…like I was gonna let’chu spend another Valentine’s Day alone!”, he chuckled while holding me close to him. “Awwwww…well thank you sooooo much!”, I cooed before planting a big kiss on his cheek. “And look at you.”, I smiled while looking down at Smokey. “Your boy and I came to an agreement that from now on we’re gonna have to share your attention.”, Nick joked. “Ain’t that right, maing?”, he asked while looking down at Smokey. Smokey replied by sitting down and looking up at him while softly purring. “ Dat’s right!”, Nick smiled before turning around to give me a loving kiss. Several hours later after a romantic evening together, Nick and I fell asleep in each other’s arms while Smokey slept at the foot of the bed. Never again will I have “Memories” of being “All Alone” because “My Valentine” proved to me that “Cupid” is for real. --The End [glow=red,2,300]:-*HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! [/glow]
