"Do you have any suggestions on where we should go? They said they wouldn't mind what I pick but, I have no idea of places they would like."
"Bring them here, love. You guys can have a little girls' day since I'll be out," he responds while putting on a pair of dress pants.
"Yeah, we can do that." I sit in bed and watch as he gets dressed for the day. "I thought you were going to run a few errands."
"I am," he tells me as focuses on looking in the mirror gelling down his hair.
He's wearing a white dress shirt and black pants with expensive-looking, shiny black shoes. He also chooses his biggest silver watch and chain to go with it. "You look handsome."
He smiles, walking over to me, "Thank you, baby," and opens his arms.
I hop out of the bed and snuggle into his arms. "You smell good too."
He chuckles deeply, "Don't I always smell good?"
"Shut up, you know what I mean." I look up and pucker my lips indicating I want a kiss but, he doesn't move.
I pout and say, "Can I have a kiss?"
"Yeah, if you can reach my lips."
Glaring at him I say, "Seb you know you're too tall."
"Then no kiss, love."
"Fine, I don't care," I push him out the door as he laughs at me. "Don't ask me for kisses or cuddles later."
He sucks his teeth and lifts me causing me to wrap my arms around his neck. "You know you couldn't resist me if you tried. Lips."
I immediately connect mines to his. I expect him to kiss me a bit longer but, it's short and sweet. Strange.
"How long will u be gone?"
"I should be home by midnight but, if I'm not here by then, don't worry. Have fun with the girls." He sets me down walking towards the door. "I love you, baby."
"I love you too. Be safe," I tell him.

Opening the door, I quickly pull Eliza and Mads inside.
"Lara calm down," Eliza tells me rolling her eyes.
"Shut up I need help. What do you guys think? Do you think Zara would like it? I want her to be comfortable."
"What about us?" Mads asks crossing her arms.
"What about y'all?" I say confused.
"Don't you want us to be comfortable too?"
I glare at her, "I don't care if you're not comfortable, you just care about food. Now answer me."
"Yes Lara, it looks fine even though she's probably not going to care. Where's the food," Eliza says going to the kitchen with Mads following closely behind.
"Near the stove. Mads you look cute."
"Thanks, hun," she responds.
"So I don't look cute?" Liza speaks up.
"Of course you do because I bought you that dress. You're welcome," I say blowing a kiss in her direction.
"Whatever. Your dress looks ok I guess. Mines is better though."
"You look gorgeous Elara. Liza is just jealous." Mads tells me and Eliza sends her a glare.
"You're lucky I have food right now or we'd be fighting." She throws a chocolate-covered strawberry at Mads.
Mads ducks and rolls her eyes, turning to me, "How long did it take for you to prepare this food."
"Not long, because I ordered some of it."
*Ding Dong*
"I'll answer the door. Get out of my kitchen, y'all are eating all of the food." I open the door to see Zara waiting patiently.
"Hi Elara, sorry I'm late. I had to drop my son at my parents' house."
"No, it's fine, come on in! I didn't know you had a son. How old is he."
"His name is Zachariah but we call him Zach and he's 2 years old."
"Aww he's so young and I'm sure he's just as beautiful as his mother. Come on in!"
I lead her over to the couch where Eliza and Mads are. Eliza stands up first to greet her, "Hi, you must be Zara. Nice to meet you. My name is Eliza and this is my best friend Madeline."
"Hello, nice to meet you too," Zara hugs both of them.
"Ok now that we're all introduced, I was kinda hoping we could eat first because I'm starving."
"Same," Eliza is the first to run to the kitchen.
I roll my eyes, "Don't mind her, she's just obsessed with food. Well we all are but, she's on another level"
"No, I totally understand I love food too. I might just be on her level because I can eat a few plates on my own." Zara responds.
"Lara where's the salsa for the chips?" Eliza asks
"Look in the pantry."
"I love your dress Zara, where'd you get it?" Mads speaks.
"Thanks and I'm not sure where it's from because my fiancé bought me it as a gift."
"Ooo fiancé?" I ask looking down at her finger.
"I honestly did not notice your ring until now, even though I see you at work every day. It's gorgeous."
"Thanks, hun. You probably never saw it because most of the time I would take my ring off before I leave the house. I don't want to lose it and it has to get resized."
"Oh, that makes sense."
"Are you guys in any relationships at the moment?" Zara asks.
"Yup," I respond.
"Me too," Mads says tells her.
"It's complicated." I look over to Liza to make sure she's good and she's stuffing her mouth with french fries.
"Liza there's more food and I wanted some of them." I shew her away from the stove and open the oven pulling out a long pan of seafood boil.
They all grab plates immediately but I stop them. "Hold on. Back up. Let me get some for my man before y'all devour the whole thing." I slowly put the food in the container just to see their reaction and Zara is drooling.
I laugh out loud and say, "Zara you cannot be that hungry."
"Girl that looks too good right now. I haven't eaten all day:"
I giggle, "Alright let me hurry up. I also bought wine if you guys want any."
"I'll take some!" Zara responds.
As soon as I step away, they rush over filling up their plates. Luckily I did enough so I don't have to worry about them eating all of the food.
When they finally sit down I ask them all, "Is it good?"
No answer.
"Damn ok. I'll leave you guys to it."
I take a seat at the head of the table and send Seb a picture of my outfit. I don't know why but, I just feel like he needs a little cheering up today.
ââââââââââââââââââ
Me: *Attachment*
Sebð: Damn baby, you look gorgeousð¤¤
You have me cheesing at my phone
in front of my guys.
Me: Thanks 𥰠What are you up to?
Seb: Work. A lot of work.
Me: Can I help with anything?
Seb: Yes actually. You can keep sending
pictures, preferably with fewer clothes on.
Me: ð¤£ð¤£ I don't think so. Maybe if you
come home early, you can see it in person.
Seb: Stop Elara. You know I have to
work and I won't hesitate to leave and
come home right now.
Me: I would like that but sorry
baby but, it's girls' day.
Seb: ð ok well, I have to get going. I'll talk to you later baby. I love you.
Me: I love you tooð¤

"Helllooooo Laraaa," I hear Liza calling my name.
"Yeah?"
"Wow, you finally answer," she rolls her eyes. "Are you going to eat any or can we get more."
"Yes, I'm eating. There's other food you know."
"Yeah but, we want the seafood," Zara whines.
"Hmmmmm, no." I stand up and shewing them away from the pan and place them in the oven. "How about dessert and maybe we can chat on the couch."
"Sure, what did you make?" Zara asks me.
"Apple pie, strawberry cheesecake, and I bought cookie dough ice cream," I tell them sitting near the pillows.
"Oooo my favorite," Mads bolts to the freezer.
I giggle and say, "Please don't eat all. I want to taste it."
"We won't!" they all shout from the kitchen.
Minutes later they all trail from the kitchen with bowls of dessert in their hands. Liza places her bowl on the coffee table and jumps on me.
"Liza what the hell!?"
"Shut up. You look like you needed a hug."
"Liza I'm fine. Please remove yourself from my personal space."
She huffs, "Fine but, you know you wanted my lovin," she sticks her tongue out.
"I get enough of that from my man, thank you very much," I copy her by sticking my tongue out too.
I look over to Mads and Zara and they're smiling at something on Zara's phone.
I go over to them and ask, "What are you guys looking at?"
"Oh, I was just showing Mads a picture of my fiancé." She turns her phone towards Liza and me. There's an average height, white man with long brown hair and glasses. He looks very sophisticated but hot at the same time.
"Damn girl you did good, he's very handsome."
"Yeah, I agree. Does he happen to have a brother?" Eliza asks jokingly.
"No, unfortunately, but, he has cousins."
"Ooh, what's their Instagram."
"Um, I'll send their accounts. What's your username?"
"LizaAaliyah"
"What's yours Elara? I'll follow you both now before I forget."
"Oh, mines is Laraalissa."
"Damn, both of your initials are EAS. That's so cute," Zara says while typing.
"Yeah, it's pretty cool."
"Oops, my ice cream is melting," Liza grabs it and begins to eat it quickly. "Also, my graduation is soon and I want you guys to be there."
"Find out the date because I might be busy," Mads responds.
"I need a pedicure so bad," I announce, wiggling my toes.
"Same, I haven't gotten one for like a month now and I can't stand it. I just don't have time," Zara sighs.
"Is it because of little Zachariah?"
"Yup. I could always drop him at my parents for a few hours but they already watch him when I'm at work."
"What about your fiancé?"
"He takes a lot of business trips but, he helps when he's here. I don't really mind because I understand his job and he makes sure he visits as much as possible."
"It's the same thing for my man too. He has taken quite a few trips but he always makes time for me. I can't relate as much though because you also have a baby to take care of."
"I'm going to get more food, I'll be right back," Eliza says standing up and Mads follows behind her.
"Bring me a plate of French fries please!" I ask.
"Alright."
I turn back to Zara, "If you want, I can look after Zach sometimes."
"Really?"
"Yeah! You deserve alone time."
"I'll keep that in mind because that sounds good," she yawns. "I'm so sorry but, I'm tired. Were you trying to put us in a food coma because damn?"
I giggle, "You could stay the night if you need to. There are guestrooms upstairs."
"No that's fine. My fiancé is coming home tomorrow and we have plans."
"Well, if you leave now then you'll probably have enough energy to drive home."
"You're right," she sighs. "I'm sorry for having to leave early," she walks over to me and pulls me into a tight hug.
"It's ok, we will make more plans to hang out."
"For sure! I'll say goodbye to the girls and get going. Byee Lara," she waves as she walks away.
"Bye hun!" I wave smiling.
