“Thank you.” I blushed.

“I’ve been losing sleep thinking about officially giving you away on Saturday,” he confessed. “I knew the day was coming, but it’s here. You’re my first baby. My junior. My heart.”

“I know, Daddy.” I simpered.

“But I’m proud of you, baby girl. Everyone counted you out when it came to love, but I knew you’d find it eventually.”

“That’s not true, Chase.” My mother voiced and I knew she hit him because he winced causing me to laugh.

“Seriously, baby, your mother and I are proud of you.”

“Thanks, Daddy. I really appreciate you and Mama.”

“Where are your sisters?” My mom asked just as both of them entered the room.

“Right here.” Italy called out.

“Hey, Mama.” China voiced.

“Tootie, I can’t wait to get thing one and thing two back to you.” My mother fussed. “Bad butts broke my dog on vase.” We all laughed. “Don’t laugh. I sent your husband an invoice.”

“Mama!” China giggled. “Did you really?”

“I sure did. That vase cost me two thousand dollars!”

“We’re about to take off, Africa.” My dad said because he had gotten up and walked away from the phone.

“Okay, girls, we’re about to take off. I’ll be dropping your children right off to you, so for whatever reason you have on those skimpy bikini’s, cancel it.” She teased and we all laughed. We all had on coverups so she couldn’t really see anything, besides we knew she was joking.

We said our goodbyes and wished them safe travels before we finished getting ready and headed out. The resort wasthrowing a foam party and we all decided to go since it was our last official day out. Since tomorrow was the day before the wedding I wanted to unwind and tighten everyone’s hair up then do my mothers and Big Ma’s.

By the time we made it to the pool, it was packed. I was so thankful that our diamond membership provided us with our own private cabana because there was no way that I was going to be out in the pool with all of the people that were there.

We were getting situated in the cabana when a big commotion rang out. I paused what I was doing to turn and see what all the fuss was about, and of course it was my man and his crew heading our way. I smiled and stood, waiting for him to approach. When he did, he wrapped me in his arms and kissed me lovingly.

“The pictures you sent did you no justice,” he scanned my frame. “You look even better in person.” He leaned down to kiss my neck and ear before growling. “Good enough to eat.”

“What are you guys doing here?” I pulled back and looked up at him. I was glad that he was here, I just thought they were chilling for the day because he was going to some club later.

“Wanted to chill with yo’ ass. Tired of lookin’ at my homeboys and Trell.”

“That’s been your excuse the whole time we’ve been here.” I grinned. “You did not do right at all.”

“We been havin’ fun together.” He smiled, descending onto one of the swings in our cabana then pulling me down into his lap. “Nai was the only thing missing, but my baby on the mothafuckin’ way.”

“You talked to my parents?” I asked and he nodded.

“Yo’ mama trippin’ talkin’ ‘bout Nai still hers ‘til the morning.”

“She is baby.” I chuckled. “You’re going out later and we’re doing something at the suite.”

“Doin’ what?” He glanced up at me.

“Wouldn’t you like to know.” I grinned.

“Aight, play with it if you want to.”

“Shut up.” I giggled. “We’re just doing a little game night because tomorrow will be busy with rehearsal and me fixing everyone’s hair.”
