"watch your step," luca said with his hands over my eyes.


"nigga you supposed to watch it for me," i said. shortly after he removed his hands and saw everyone sitting there smiling at me.


"surprise!" they screamed.


"it's not my birthday," i laughed taking a seat at the top of the table. my parents were here, luca's mom and sister sadly, kendra, tavares and deante ofc and demario.


"this is uh, an appreciation dinner luca planned for you," my dad said with a grin.


"yeah we just wanted to say thanks for being there for all of us," my mom added.


"thanks guys but you ain have to get me dinner. a simple thank you would've been fine but i appreciate this a lot," i smiled.


"okay i'm going say grace so we can eat," mom stretched her hands out to hold hands with either person sitting beside her making everyone do the same.


after she was done everyone dug into their food. i watched as luca talked and laughed with his mom who sat beside him. luca eventually gave her a second chance, without alaina being spokesperson, and they've been getting closer ever since which made me happy for him. despite whatever happened in the past, i'm glad he was able to put it behind him and move forward.


"egypt got my boy luc changing," deante shook his head with a mouthful.


"how? and finish ts you got in your mouth before talking," i said.


"shut up," he said gulping it down, "look at him over there with his mom laughing and shit. old luc wouldn't be even be laughing like at all,"


"or he's just happy," i shrugged.


"yeah but you brought that happiness to him. without you i doubt he would've went through with that promise with debo. glad he did tho, love to see my boy happy," he smiled, "and he over here planning dinners for you n shit... it gotta be crack in yo pussy juice or sum,"


"shut up deante," i hit his arm making him laugh.


"ay na fr tho. thank you for coming into his life. this the most i've ever seen his crooked ass teeth,"


"don't play with my boyfriend his teeth straight asf,"


"yeah thank God for braces cos whew... remind me to show you later,"


"yeah cos i wanna see that shit," i pointed.


"aight lemme do my lil speech now," luca half yelled, "as we all know this was an appreciation dinner for my girlfriend so i just wanted to start by saying thank you for being my peace, my happiness, my everything. it's gotten to a point where idek what i'd be doing without you. even on my worst days, just looking at your smile can make ts ten times better and you know, other things," he smirked.


"ahem," my dad cleared his throat making me laugh a lil. i was lowkey tearing up but i managed to keep it in.


"my fault og," he chuckled, "but as a token of my appreciation i got you a lil sum," he said walking over to me.


"get up," my mom whispered. i stood up in confusion as everyone's flash on their phones lit up.


this better not be what i think it is...


luca stood over me with a smile then got down on one knee. he brought out a small black box from his pocket then pulled the lid off, revealing a diamond ring with a big rock.


"omg..." i said covering my mouth with tears falling out my eyes, "you got me ruining my make up and shit dawg,"


"it may have not been years since i met you, but everyday with you feels like a lifetime so i know for sure i'm ready to spend the rest of my life with you... egypt aaliyah ali, will you marry me?"


"...na you straight i'm good on that fr," i said but i couldn't help but break out of character because of luca's face, "i'm playing ofc i'll marry you," i laughed.


"you was gon marry me regardless," he sucked his teeth and placed the ring on my finger, before getting up and planting a kiss on my lips.


"ayy my boy getting married," tj and deante cheered.


"i love you," i said to luca.


"i love you too mama."
