started for him last night when I got home.
    I had been painting for so long that I hadn’t realized it was two o'clock already, until my phone began to ring.
    "I’m on the way love." he said.
    "Ok, I'm ready." I had paint all over my sweats and hands. Before long, my phone rang again.
    "I’m outside."
    "I'm coming out now." I replied. I slip my sneakers on and grabbed my keys, locking the front door. I walked down the steps and got into the car.
    "Hey beautiful."
    "Hey babe." I replied, covering my mouth in shock when I realized I called him babe. It just came out that way. He smiled.
    "You got it right!"
    We headed to the school to pick Thias up. Shelly had called me to let me know that she was going to pick Thias up early because her nephews were coming over too. Shelly and her girlfriend had broken up a while back. So instead of indulging in ice cream and romantic movies for Valentine's night, she decided to babysit for those who had dates. We made it back to the house, Thias and I rushed up the stairs to open the door, while Arsen was getting something out of his trunk. I left the front door cracked so he could just walk in.
    "Baby, pack a little night bag. Shelly will be here in a while to get you. Her nephews are going to be with her."
    "Mama you talking about Travis and Shaun?" he asked.
    "Yes baby them two."
    "YESSS!!!!" he shouted running to his room to pack a bag.
    I laughed to myself; they are really going to drive Shelly crazy tonight. I walked down the hallway to see Arsen standing in the living room with two boxes. He looked at me and said "Don’t open them until I leave, please?" I was a bit confused, but for some reason whenever he asked me to do something, I felt the need to listen. Kind of like a "Yes Daddy" moment. "I'll be back at 7:30."
    "Ok I'll be ready." He kissed me and walked out the door.
    As soon as the door closed I ran to the couch to open the boxes. The first box had something wrapped in red paper. There was a card on top with Shelly’s name on it. Shelly? Confused, I open the card and out fell a $50 dollar bill with the words "Thank you for watching our son." “He really thought this through.” I thought to myself. I pulled opened the paper and lifted up a white long sleeved form fitting dress. I opened the other box and it had a red pair of platform pumps with an ankle strap; about 6 inches high. He has great taste. No wonder he didn't want me to worry about what I was going to wear; thinking back on when he tripped over one of my pumps. That's how he knew what size to get, huh? He thinks he’s slick! I love it!!! He did and said everything right. He's almost too good to be true. I began cleaning up the house as Thias was watching cartoons on the couch. There was another knock at the door. This time it was Shelly and her nephews. She rushed in like the typical friend and headed straight towards my fridge.
    "Girl, aint nothing in there!" I joked.
    "You know I had to check." she said laughing, sitting down on the couch.
    "Whose shoes are these?" she said picking up one of the red pumps. "And this dress???" I smiled.
    "He bought that for me to wear tonight." I replied.
    "Girl he got taste!!!" she exclaimed.
    "Oh! I almost forgot." handing Shelly the card he had got her.
    "What's this?"
    "Stop asking so many questions and open it!!" We both laughed as she opened the card. The money fell out and she read the note. "Girl! He is definitely a keeper!!!"
    "I know right?!" I looked over at the clock on the TV box. "It's 5:30, I gotta start getting ready."
    "Ok, well we gonna go. Tell ya boo I said thank ya! And make sure you shave that twat! I know you got cobwebs!" she said laughing hysterically. "Boys!! Come on let's go!!" she yelled to the back. All three of them came stampeding down the hallway. I kneeled down next to Thias.
    "You be good, ok? And listen!"
    "Ok mama."
    "Have fun girl! And be prepared to tell me all about it!"
    "Ok love." I laughed. "And thanks!"
    I went to my bathroom,
