"Hey, Mirah! W'sup?", Kelton asked his cousin as she stood in front of his apartment's door.
"Hey! I was in the neighborhood so I thought I'd drop by to see if you would mind helpin' me to find a gift for Rome.", she smiled after they shared a warm hug.
"Why? It ain't his birthday or nothing‘.", he joked. "Unless he juss got it like that!"
"Whateva foo'! Now are you gonna be able to help me out or not?!", she huffed.
"Aight...lemme grab my keys. We can go in my car.", he chuckled as he ran over to his coffee table to grab his car keys.
About an hour later while sitting in the food court after finding the perfect "thinking of you" gift for Jerome, Tamirah asked Kelton how his date had went with a girl he met at a neighborhood basketball game on last week.
"Me and ol' girl juss didn't click.", he replied with a shrug of his shoulders while placing a few french fries in his mouth.
"What'chu mean yall didn't click?"
"I'ono. I mean...the only thing she wanted to talk about was how all the females on her job are jealous of her because she's modeled for several magazines, blahzay blahzay!", he sighed with a roll of his eyes. "Then if she wasn't talkin' about that...she was constantly checkin' her makeup in her mirror! That sh!t ain't cute!"
"Damn! But maybe she was juss tryna to make a good impression on you. There's no need to be that way. Give her a chance! Shoo'...give any female a chance! I've noticed how picky you've been in the past few months with every girl you tell me about that you've gone out with. W'sup with that?", Tamirah asked while staring at him.
"Man, why I gotta be picky? I can't help if none of them seem to be like Syl...", he began before catching himself.
Tamirah noticed how he abruptly stopped speaking. But before she could say anything, she received a call on her phone. "Hello?"
"Hey, ma. Where you at?", Jerome smiled.
"Oh hey.", she smiled back. "Kel and I are juss hangin' out for a while. Where are you?"
"I'm at home. I was callin' to see if you wanted to keep me company for a while."
"Mmmm hmmmm.", she jokingly replied since it was only a little after 2:00. She knew exactly what "company for a while" meant whenever she received a call from Jerome in the middle of the day. "I'll be by there in a lil' bit."
"Aight...I'll be here. Love ya, boo.", he grinned.
"Love you too. Buh bye.", she giggled.
"Oh my God!", Kelton mumbled under his breath in a sarcastic tone while rolling his eyes and sitting back in his chair.
"Don't hate 'cause your cousin is gettin' more quality time than you are!", she teased him after ending her call.
"Whateva!", he replied with a suck of his teeth before they both began to laugh. After finishing up their food, he drove her back to his place so she could get her car to go to Jerome's place.

"Roooooooooome! Where you at, man?!", Tamirah jokingly asked as soon as she stepped in his empty living room. On her way down the hall, she noticed the beginning of a trail of rose petals at her feet. She looked up from the floor with a big smile on her face as she began to follow them. They ended at the bathroom. As soon as she walked inside, she was greeted by the aroma of lavender candles burning throughout the bathroom where a tub full of bubbles awaited her.
While standing with her back to the door as she looked around in awe, she felt a pair of arms slowly wrapping around her.
"It's not too early to pamper you is it?", Jerome whispered in her ear before lightly kissing it.
"Of course not.", she giggled.
After walking over to the door and hanging her purse on the doorknob, Tamirah slowly began to unbutton her blouse as she headed back over to the tub.
"Nah, I got that for you.", Jerome smiled as he gently pushed her hands out of the way. Once he had completely undressed her, he led her over to his tub that she stepped up into. As soon as she was seated, he wasted no time in washing her hair following up with washing her off.
"Ready to be toweled off?", he quietly asked after he was done.
"Aight.", she replied with a bashful smile and a nod of her head.
He immediately stood up from the side of the tub and grabbed a large towel for her. When he was done, he swiftly scooped her up in his arms and carried her into his bedroom where he lotioned and massaged the parts of her body that were exposed from the towel wrapped around her. As soon as he was done, he lowered his body onto hers and shared a series of kisses with her as he slowly removed the towel. He then began to plant lingering kisses down her body until he ended at the place that made her immediately lose her breath. After several minutes had passed by, Tamirah thought her body was going to explode from inside out as Jerome's kisses intensified. Before too much longer, she grabbed up to the back of his braids and shut her eyes tightly while biting her bottom lip although that didn't keep a series of whimpers and moans from escaping her mouth.
Once he was finished, without saying anything, he stood up and walked over to his closet and pulled one of his t-shirts out to dress Tamirah in. When he was done, he pulled her into his arms and held her tightly.
"I didn't even get a chance to give you your gift.", she lightly giggled as she buried her head deeper into his chest.
"Thanks, but you'll do juss fine, boo.", he smiled.
For several minutes, they lay in silence as a few birds in a tree chirped right outside of his opened window where a cool breeze was blowing inside. That's when Tamirah began to think about how happy she was in her life right now and how she was fortunate enough to be sharing it with her new and only love. Lightly rubbing his arm that was placed across her side, she began to quietly sing Jill Scott's "He Loves Me" while feeling her eyes welling up with tears of pure bliss.
"Girl, you know what your sangin' does to me.", Jerome lightly chuckled while placing his chin on her head.
"I can't help it, Romey.", she giggled as she wiped a tear that had already fallen from one of her eyes.
"Awww...c'mere, ma.", he grinned as he leaned his head downward to share a quick kiss with her. That's all it took for them to begin their own lil' party.
