28. Ari
I was excited to see Zelan so damn happy about us having a baby.
I was nervous telling him, but to see his reaction made me feel so much better.
My hair was finally finished, and it was time for me to get my make-up done.
My baby wanted to have a damn celebration now, so we were going all out for his birthday.
Juelz’s buyer came over with many different dresses for all of us to choose from.
I selected a beautiful gown made by Christian Dior, Ciera, and Toya were wearing Valentino.
One thing was for sure; we were going to kill the damn game tonight.
I wonder where the hell Toya went, she got a text and ran out the room saying she would be right back.
I’m glad Toy only had my make-up to finish because we would damn sure start the party late.
Ciera’s hair and makeup were done, Grams, and Ms. Simone was ready to go as well..
When I tell y’all Grams was killing the game, she was killing the game. I prayed I looked half as good, as she did when I’m her age.
“Ari, Zelan is back and he would like to see you,” Ciera said, as she opened the door.
“Where is he?” I asked her as I stood to walk out.
“He is in the family room,” she replied as we both got on the elevator, because there was no way that Ci could do the stairs right now.
“Are the babies sleeping?” I asked her.
“Yeah, they wake up to eat and then back to sleep they go. I just fed them, and the nanny just put them back in the nursery. We got to the family room, and Ciera walked in ahead of me. When I stepped in the room, I couldn’t fucking believe my eyes.
Alicia Keys was sitting at the piano. She was my favorite singer.
“Zelan, what is going on?” I asked him, looking around the room at everyone with tears in their eyes.
Alicia Keys began to play the piano, and when she started singing “Unthinkable,” I damn near passed out.
That was my song. Zelan walked up to me, staring in my eyes, that shit had me in my feelings, I fell deeper in love with him in that moment.
He did all of this because we were having a baby?
Damn, maybe I should give him another baby right after this baby is born.
He leaned over and kissed me so sensual between the music, and that kiss my ass was ready.
I wanted to lay his ass down and ride the fuck out of his dick, right here in front of our family.
The music finally stopped, and what happened next had me ready to faint. Zelan was down on his knee. Oh my god is he going to do what I think he is doing?
“Ari, from the moment I met your feisty ass, you have been my lady. The day we bumped into each other you officially belonged to me, and you didn’t even know it.
Only God can create such a magical love, as the one we share, and baby I can’t allow you to walk another day without having my last name.
Giving me a baby, only solidified the fact that we are supposed to walk this path of forever together.
He designed you just for me, I’m asking for your heart my lady.
If you give it to me, I promise I will take care of it.
I will always treat you with respect and I will love you without limits.
I will treat you just as a queen should be treated.
Please do me the honor of becoming my wife?
” Zelan asked me, and I was hanging on for dear life.
“Yes, oh god yes, baby, I will marry you,” I cried out. When he pulled that damn ring out, my heart jumped out of my fucking chest. I jumped in Zelan’s arms, and everyone was clapping; my sister was a crying mess.
“Ari, I’m so happy for you. I love you so much; you have a very caring and loving man. I know you are in good hands. OMG, I can’t believe you are getting married!” Ciera yelled.
“I know, thank you Ci. I love you so much, but I do know that I don’t want a big wedding. I just have to give you and Toya that disclaimer now, before y’all start with this big affair,” I said laughing.
“Babe, this is Ms. Margie from the clerk’s office. She will issue us our marriage license now. But you need to sign the documents,” Zelan stated.
“Why now? What’s the rush?” I said, as I signed where she advised me to sign.
“Because our wedding is tonight, my lady. Now sign those papers and go get yourself ready to be my beautiful wife,” Zelan responded with a smile.
Toya came and hugged me, and then rushed me out of the room to get ready to marry the man that held my heart forever.
I couldn’t believe I was getting ready to marry Zelan Kassom.
