Page 28 of Still Made For You

“Exactly. Like I said, if you are worried about seating, we can just switch it up. It’s mainly immediate family anyway, so it’s not like it would be a problem for them to sit on both sides. This day is going to be all about you. Whatever we need to do to make sure you feel happy and comfortable is what we’re going to do. All you have to do is ask. You’re over here stressing about nothing when you have a whole army behind you, baby girl.

Do you understand the blessing you’ve been to this family? You already know my brother is going to move heaven and Earth for you and we’ll be right there with him.” I heard the sound of sniffling, so I turned in my chair to see Ciyani crying.

“You and your best friend are some real crybabies. Sensitive ass thugs.” I chuckled as I pulled her in for a hug.

“I’m sorry, I just feel so lucky you just don’t even understand. I’ve been wracking my brain about this because I knew it would make me feel some type of way to walk down the aisle by myself and only have a few people on my side. Justice has been on me lately because he doesn’t want me to be stressed. I’m trying my best to focus on the things I can control, but it’s not always easy. I’m so grateful for y’all.”

“We got you. Now you’ve got to help me plan this baby shower for your stubborn best friend.”

“Charity and I are already on it. Janae claims she doesn’t want to have a gender reveal, but I’m doing that as well. I’m not going to allow her to miss out on any milestones in her pregnancy. We are going to celebrate these babies because they are a blessing. I don’t care what she says.” Times like this made me grateful that my wife had solid people in her corner. I knew she was afraid to celebrate because she was worried something would go wrong. I really wanted her to have a healthy and happy pregnancy and even though she said she didn’t want to have a baby shower; this was something I knew she’d regret later on in life.

“I’ll give you my card, and y’all can get whatever you need. We’re supposed to find out the sex of the babies at our next appointment, so I’m going to send you the information so we can get it together. Our family is blessed because I barely have to outsource anything. We have a hair stylist, nail tech, event planner, and makeup artist. Y’all need to come together and start offering packages or something.”

“You know what? I’ve never thought about that. We really do have a lot of in-home talent. I haven’t had to hire anyone because Aunt Faith is making my cake as well. I’m telling you, this family has me so spoiled. Uncle Prosper hooked us up with the house we’ll all be staying at for Christmas. I can’t wait to have everybody under the same roof, opening gifts together and just enjoying each other’s company. I’m trying to get all of the ladies to agree to one design so we can all wear matching pajamas as a family.”

“Man, y’all wildin’ with that one. I’m too damn tall for some pajamas. Let’s not forget Messiah and Big Moe. Unless these are going to be some custom joints, all our nuts and shit gone be on display,” I fussed. I’m all for family time, but I knew the ladies in our family were going to do the most.

“You just let us worry about that. The only thing we need from you is the money and for you to show up.” She giggled, directing me to the dryer. This was the part I hated the most. The shit was hot as hell. I didn’t understand how women sat under these all the time. My neck felt like Satan was breathing his breath on me.

My phone sounded off, so I opened the notification to see who it was. Of course, my wife’s contact picture was the first thing I saw. Shit. My dick was hard as a brick admiring the pictures of my wife with her legs cocked open. We had just had two sessions in before I made my rounds so, I thought it would be enough to hold her over. Apparently, I was wrong because the video she sent me next had me wanting to get up out of this seat and take my ass home.

Janae loved sending me all kinds of pictures and video showing me her sexy ass body. My wife was drop-dead gorgeous, and the glow from her being pregnant had only enhanced her beauty.

Me: You gon’ ride this dick when I get home?

My World: Yes, zaddy. I want you to bend me over and hit it from the back. Go as deep as you want.

I really needed to close out of our messages because the last thing I wanted to do was walk around my sister-in-law with a hard dick.

Me: This is the reason your ass is pregnant now

My World: And I’m going to be pregnant again because I’m not coming up off that dick.

Her little ass does not play fair, and I was going to make sure to make her pay for all of the shit she was talking about.

My World: *attachments* I’m leaking, Zaddy. How much longer are you going to be?

“You’re all done, Bro! Now make sure you take a picture and tell all the hoes who gets your locs looking crispy.” Ciyani broke me from the conversation I was having with my wife.

What hoes are you talking’ about? You already know your best friend doesn’t play that shit. The last time I posted a pic of my hair, she started blocking folks on my page.” I chuckled at the memory. There was nothing insecure about Janae, she just didn’t play about disrespect. A few compliments were cool, but nowadays these women had no chill in the comments. If we as men said some of the vulgar things these women put in our comments, we’d be looked at crazy.

“I don’t blame her at all. Every time Justice posts a picture, I just like it and keep scrolling. Those bitches don’t care about y’all being in a relationship at all, and I’ll be on there all day if I took the time to reply to all of the foolishness. Instead, I take pride in the fact that they all want what I have.” Ciyani’s outlook on things always impressed me. She was younger than me, but her life experiences made her more mature.

“That’s the best way to look at it. Shoot, I make money off of those posts, so I don’t even be trippin’ half the time. Anyways, your best friend is requesting my presence, so I’m about to head out of here.” Pulling out a few hundred-dollar bills, I held them out to her.

“Wise, I already-”

“Sis, we go through this every time. Us being family doesn't change a damn thing. Now take this damn money with your difficult ass.” Ciyani huffed, then accepted the cash from me. We’d been doing this back-and-forth thing since the very first appointment. I believe in supporting a family without any discounts. Ciyani’s skills were unmatched, and she deserved to be paid for her services.

“You get on my nerves,” she grumbled.

“That’s what brothers are for. Love you, Yani!” I threw my hand up as I headed out of the door. I prayed she felt the sincerity in my advice from earlier. There wasn’t a single thing we wouldn’t do for her as a family, and she needed to understand that.

“I love you too, bro!” She shouted back. Our family has this rule where we never leave out of each other’s presence without saying we love one another. You never know when it may be your last time, so it’s important to make sure they know it. Getting into my car, my thoughts were processing the events of the day. My business was doing well, my family was growing in both size and love. Life was good, and I couldn’t ask for much more than that.
