"go shawty, it's your birthday
we gon party like it's your birthday
we gon sip bacardi like it's your birthday
and you know we don't give a fuck it's not your birthday!".

it was saturday morning and iman just woke up. it was a little after ten thirty and she woke up to an empty bed. roman was gone, presumably at the warehouse and she could smell food coming from the kitchen so julianne was cooking breakfast.

today is also the day of iman's surprise party, so a lot was happening today. there was a whole master plan that's been set for about a week now and it was all going down tonight. they wanted to make sure that this was the greatest night of iman's life and everything needed to go accordingly.

iman was on her phone, scrolling through instagram when her phone started to ring. it was janelle facetiming her so she answered the phone.

"hey girl" iman said to her best friend.

"hey bestie!" janelle exclaimed. "you look like you just got up".

"I did" iman said. "but where are you going this morning?".

"going to get my nails done and then going to get my hair done" janelle told her. "cause we got plans tonight".

"we? of course it's last minute" iman sighed.

"girl please, at least we doing something for you" janelle said. "but tonight melissa, aniyah, tron, and I are gonna take you out to dinner and then we hittin up the club!".

"the club? what club?" iman wondered. she was hoping that it was a club that roman or any drug gang had no affiliation with, she did not wanna be in a shooting again.

gag is that they weren't really going out to eat or to the club, this was just a rouge to get iman to leave the house to lead her to her party. it's all apart of the master plan.

"club allure in queens, our favorite" janelle told her.

"what about the restaurant?" iman asked again.

"the smith, something cute before the real party starts at the club" janelle said.

"oh okay, so should I dress for the club or dress for the restaurant?" iman wondered.

"club, definitely club" janelle told her, just so she can be dressed to dance at a party. "so go get your hair, makeup, nails, whatever you need done cause we gonna be lit tonight!".

"what time is the reservation?" iman asked.

"eight, so leave your house like seven thirty or before that if you concerned with traffic" janelle said, the perfect time for her to arrive at the surprise party.

"okay, shit now lemme call gina so she can do my hair. then I gotta call rose for my makeup, thank god I got my nails done yesterday. ugh y'all and this last minute shit!" iman said.

"like I said before, at least we doing something for you" janelle said, looking hard at her in the camera. "but imma let you go, and i'll see you later!".

"bye girl" iman said as they both hung up.

iman then called up her hair and makeup girl to schedule a last minute appointment. luckily they were available (thanks to roman telling them about the surprise), and they let her through. iman then got up to get ready since she had to go now.

when iman was finished getting ready to go out, she went through the kitchen to leave and saw julianne and jianni sitting down eating breakfast.

"good morning momma!" jianni exclaimed.

"morning babydoll" iman said to her daughter, kissing her on the cheek.

"where are you heading this morning?" julianne asked her.

"well janelle just told me that her, the girls, and tron are taking me out tonight so now I have to go get my hair and makeup done" iman told her. "the last minute plans of it all".

"oh okay, want any breakfast?" julianne asked her.

"no I have to go now i'll just get something while i'm out, thank you though" iman said. "i'll be back later!".

"bye momma!" jianni said.

"bye jianni" iman said, then leaving out of the penthouse. as soon as she left, julianne grabbed her phone to make a call to roman.

"hello?" roman said on the phone.

"iman left, she went to go get her hair and makeup done" julianne told him.

so here was the plan for today. this was a plan that was set up by roman with the help of janelle and julianne. currently roman was coming back from picking up the video that he got made for iman, compiling all of her childhood movies into one big tribute to her. he was going back to the warehouse now but at four, he was going to go to 583 to take a look at the venue and make sure that the decorating team that he hired were doing their job right, decorating the party the way he wanted. after that, he was going to come home and prepare for the party.

meanwhile for julianne, roman booked a hotel for julianne and jianni to stay at. the plan was to tell iman that julianne took jianni out for the day but in reality, they'll be staying at the fairfield inn and suites to get ready for the party and to stay overnight. roman didn't wanted them to stay home while they were getting ready because obviously iman would know something was up if they were all getting ready at the same time. they were also staying overnight because roman wanted iman all to himself for the night, with no one home. they were going to be doing some "things", if you catch the drift. julianne and jianni were planned to leave at around three thirty so that they could check in at four.

janelle had the easier plan out of the three. all she had to do was be there at seven, which was the "plan time" of the party. iman wouldn't be arriving until eight but janelle suggested to roman that he should put on the invitation that the party starts at seven so people would come on time, it would be a disaster if people came while iman was coming in. janelle was going to be the first person there, and janelle and roman would be texting each other throughout the first hour to make sure that things are going to plan.

"okay.... you didn't need to tell me that, I told you to call me when you and jianni leave the house" roman said.

"okay well I told you that to let you know that she left the house" julianne said. "but what if she comes back home before three thirty?".

"I set her hair appointment up for twelve and then her makeup for three thirty, she won't be home until at least five. y'all have plenty of time" roman told her.

"okay, and what time will you be back here?" julianne asked him.

"y'all will be gone because i'm going to 583 at four to check on the place. the decorating crew I hired starts decorating at two, they should be almost done or done by the time I get there" roman said. "so i'm not coming home until after that".

"okay, we'll i'll call you when we leave for the hotel" julianne said.

"what are you gonna tell iman when you tell her you and jianni are "going out"?" roman wondered.

"tell her that i'm taking jianni to times square, taking her to the disney store" julianne said.

"yay! I wanna get a elsa doll!" jianni exclaimed.

"well.... looks like I might actually have to go" julianne chuckled.

"if you gonna go, go before four so you could make the hotel check in" roman told her. "anyways I gotta go i'm about to go back in the warehouse, call me when y'all leave".

"bye" julianne said, and roman hung up the phone.

"julie are we gonna get the elsa doll?" jianni asked her.

".... yes jianni we are, and we're gonna have fun tonight too" julianne told her.

"ooooh!" jianni exclaimed.

the plan was moving along great, now let's get to eight o clock.

it was in the seven o clock hour and iman just finished getting ready for her night. she was wearing a fashion nova mesh jumpsuit with pink heels and her new pink birkin bag to match, as pink was in the jumpsuit. she got her hair done in a 90s styled flipped ends ponytail and her makeup done to match her outfit. iman felt real cute in her look, and she couldn't wait to show it off tonight.

iman went in the wardrobe room to get her birkin bag and she saw roman in there getting dressed himself. roman told her that he was going to one of paul's club to check up on business, which was obviously a lie. he looked nice himself though, in a blue moncler shirt and black jeans along with black, white, and blue jordan 1s.

when he saw iman though.... he was in awe. he just wanted to tear that jumpsuit off and make love to her in the damn wardrobe room for all he cared. he had to collect his horny thoughts though, he actually had to get her to the party that he made happen.

"my wife is really the sexiest woman alive.... goddamn" roman grinned, licking his lips as he stared her down.

"you like? I was lowkey thinking it was too much" iman said.

"no, no.... this is perfect" roman said. "you're just..... wow, i'm just-".

"at a loss for words baby?" iman smirked.

".... just know that you are getting it later, that is all" roman said.

"so damn horny all the time" iman laughed.

"well when you got a fine ass wife, or milf I should say... you'd wanna be horny all the time" roman said, wrapping his arms around iman's waist.

"I know you just didn't call me a milf" iman chuckled.

"that's your name in my phone" roman said as he kissed her neck. "and it's damn true".

"anyways.... what time is it? I gotta go soon" iman said.

"wait... i'll take you to the smith" roman said.

"isn't that out your way? don't you gotta go to the other boroughs?" iman wondered.

"it's basically on the way iman it's fine. i'll drop you off and pick you up from the club if you need it" roman told her.

"oh.... okay then, finish getting ready cause our reservation is at eight" iman said.

yeah, in a way it was. a reservation to get to 583.

for the night by pop smoke, lil baby, and da baby was playing in the car as iman and roman were "on their way" to the smith, obviously really 583 park avenue. iman was on her phone, on instagram story recording herself as the music played in the background.

iman then put her phone camera on roman recording him. he looked at the camera once and rolled his eyes with a laugh which made iman laugh. roman hated the whole social media game, but iman loved putting that phone in his face.

"you gonna show me off to your friends?" roman scoffed.

"yup cause you're so cute" iman giggled.

"and so are you" roman said. "god I can't wait til the night's over, I wanna do so many things to you".

"i'll try not to get too drunk" iman jokingly said.

the two were currently in some mild traffic getting to 583. the typical saturday night traffic of new york was in their way, and while roman would usually be pissed at it he didn't mind this time only because it was stalling time for them to get to 583. they had left a little after seven thirty so the traffic was stalling the time and it was gonna make sure that they arrived at 583 at the scheduled time of eight.

"i'm surprised you're not mad about the traffic" iman mentioned.

"it's not as bad as it usually is" roman said. while that was true, he still somewhat hated it.

"you just hate traffic overall so I just assumed" iman said.

"well we're only.... eight minutes away and we're towards the front of the traffic so once I get my opening i'm out" roman said.

"oh okay..." iman said, going back on her phone.

the car continued to sit in the traffic but once roman got to the front, he drove off real quick as eight was nearing and continued their way to 583.

they arrived in the parking lot of 583 park avenue. it was 8:04 and iman was really confused as why she was here rather than the smith.

"roman what are you doing? this isn't the smith" iman said.

"we have to stop here real quick, cmon" he told her.

"for what? I have a whole dinner with my friends that i'm four minutes later for and you taking me somewhere that isn't the smith. take me there!" she exclaimed.

"can you just come real quick? it'll be quick, just cmon for a second please" roman pleaded.

iman sighed and got out of the car and roman began to lead her into the place.

"so why are we here?" iman asked him.

"just hold on, you'll see when we get in" roman said.

they walked into the first door, about to open the next.

"god roman you're always being so damn va-" iman began to say before they walked through the second door...

"SURPRISE!!!"

the hall erupted in cheers as they saw iman. iman was in so much shock, and that's when she realized that this was a surprise party for herself. she looked back at roman and roman just gave her a smile and backed up to let her enjoy her moment. iman covered her mouth as she was truly surprised. she was already getting overwhelmed, and she was about to tear up at all the love she was getting.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY BITCH!" janelle screamed as she came over to give her best friend a hug.

iman hugged her back and began to cry a bit. she was so honored, so blessed that someone went out of their way to do this for her.

"you did this?" she asked janelle.

"your husband planned the whole thing, I helped of course but this was all him" janelle told her.

when she told her that roman planned this all iman actually began to cry. the fact that roman actually went out of his way to do this for her made her so happy. hell the fact that he actually got janelle to work with him despite their dislike for each other made her happy too.

iman turned back around to roman and gave him a hug, they then shared a passionate kiss which had everyone aww'ing.

"you did all of this for me?" iman asked him.

"of course I did, you deserve it baby" he smiled.

".... I love you" iman said, kissing him again.

"we're gonna have a fun night" roman smirked.

"momma!" jianni exclaimed, coming over to her parents.

"jianni! my baby!" iman said picking her up and kissing her daughter on the cheek. "wait y'all were here the whole time?!".

"yup, your husband got us a hotel for us to stay and get ready at" julianne told her.

"oh my god" iman gushed.

iman was just in a rush right now. she was so happy that she was having this party. so thankful to have a husband that cares for her to give her such a big party like this. she hasn't even taken it all in yet but she knew once she did, she was probably going to cry again. now she had to greet everyone that came.

after greeting all of her family and friends that came to the party along with taking some pictures, dinner was ready and everyone was eating. janelle got roman to book a black owned catering company to serve the party and it worked with macaroni and cheese, fried chicken, collard greens, baked ziti, dinner rolls and meatballs on the menu.

"not gonna lie babe, i'm surprised we're not eating filet mignon right now" iman chuckled.

"well your friend told me to use that catering company to serve the food so here we are" roman told her. "that might be the first thing she ever got right cause this food is pretty good".

"you're welcome!" janelle said as she was passing by their table presumably to get more food. "and you better pay them well too".

"they're getting their money once their services are done" roman said.

"I still can't believe you two actually came together to do this for me" iman smiled. "all I ever wanted was for you two to get along and it actually happened".

"I wouldn't say we got along...." janelle said. "but just know that I did this all for you".

"I just needed janelle to invite everyone, that was all. she decided to stick around" roman said.

"only because this party would've been vastly different without my input" janelle scoffed. "and you know it too, so run me my credit".

"when I feel like it" roman said.

"give her credit babe, you both did so good" iman said.

"listen to your wife" janelle added in.

".... thank you for helping me" roman mumbled.

"I couldn't hear you, say it again please?!" janelle teased.

"..... thank you for helping me with the party, your input was actually good and it made it better" roman said louder.

"aw thank you!" janelle smiled. "thanks for forcing him iman, I knew he would listen to you".

janelle walked away and roman just rolled his eyes, meanwhile iman laughed at him.

"now that wasn't too painful now was it?" iman asked him.

"no but she's annoying" roman groaned.

"but you got her to help you, so I guess she's not that annoying to you" iman said.

"... just know that i'd do anything for you, that's all" he said and iman smiled and kissed his cheek.

before everyone could begin to really party there was one more thing that needed to be presented, the tribute video. so once everyone was finished eating, janelle went up to the stage in preparation to present iman with the video.

"hey everyone!" janelle said on the microphone which prompted "hellos" and cheers from their friends.

"so first I would like to say happy birthday to my best friend iman. iman, we've been best friends since we were nine years old. that's twenty three years of friendship, and saying that is making me feel a bit old. I wouldn't have it any other way, and I am so happy to have such an great woman be my friend". iman smiled at that and she put her hands to her heart.

"so in honor of you, your husband actually created a video for you. a tribute video per say in honor of your life then and now. so here you go! happy birthday boo, we love you".

the lights went low and on the screen presented a home video from september 1993 of five year old iman telling the camera that it was her first day of kindergarten.

"my name is iman elaine gibson, I am four years old, and I am going to kindergarten! today is gonna be a great day!".

home videos of iman's childhood played throughout the video, chronicling her early life. everyone was aww'ing at little iman and her parents were smiling at the nostalgia of the home videos that they would do to preserve iman's greatest moments. family gatherings, birthday parties, and regular home videos were being shown, some things that iman had the fondest memories of.

tears started to well up in her eyes, especially the parts that showed her late grandmother who she had a close relationship with. not only that but as she watched her life in front of her eyes, she was just so emotional at how grateful she was. so grateful to have had a nice childhood, an amazing family, a loyal group of friends, and most of all, a beautiful daughter and a great man as her husband. the same husband that made this video for her.

at the very end of the video, it ended off with a title card that was a penned message from roman.

"and you did just that, becoming an amazing woman, mother, wife, daughter, friend, everything".

"happy birthday iman, I love you".

the crowd applauded and cheered at the beautiful video and when the lights came back on, everyone saw iman covering her face as she was crying. janelle gave her a hug, holding her tight as iman had to collect her thoughts from the beautifully made video.

then roman came over to hug her, holding her tight and kissing her forehead. then jianni came over, hugging both of her parents as the little family all embraced each other.

"I love y'all, so much" iman tearfully said.

their perfect little family, nothing better.

"you cannot pop and forget the smoke, i'm from the floss where niggas tote!" iman and her friends sung on the dance floor as gatti by pop smoke and travis scott played. the best part of the party was happening right now, the dancing, singing, and drinking.

iman had a cup of cosmo and she was drinking it up. she was in such a good mood and she already knew that she was gonna get very lit tonight. shit she might end up drunk or very tipsy. regardless the rest of the night was gonna be good ass vibes and she couldn't wait.

"and i'm in that bugatti, movin two hundred! givin pumps like who shot ya!".

instagram stories and lives were being recorded right now as everyone was on the dance floor. well not everyone, roman was sitting at the bar area with jimmy and jey. he claims that he "doesn't dance" so he won't be hitting the dance floor with iman. he was gonna look at her all night, like he always did whenever they went out to a function.

iman continued drinking and dancing until she wanted another drink so she went to the bar. roman and the twins were still there and roman was just staring at his wife hard, well presumably her ass.

".... you know instead of staring at my ass you could be grabbing onto it on the dance floor" iman said, she peeped him staring.

"you know I don't dance iman" roman said.

"well you could! you can at least dance with me once" iman pleaded.

"I don't know if you wanna see that iman, roman can't dance for shit" jimmy said.

"I know but I still want him with me!" iman said. "you two as well, y'all wives are on the dance floor and y'all over here".

"we don't dance" jey said.

"ugh, you damn samoans" iman scoffed.

freak a leek by petey pablo came on and iman gasped in excitement. this was one of her favorite songs in high school, she had some memories singing and dancing to this song at school dances and parties.

"you're dancing with me to this song" iman said as she was dragging roman onto the dance floor.

"you want me to dance so damn bad" roman groaned.

"it'll be fun, just follow after me" she told him. "i'm gonna dance on you and you're gonna like it trust me".

iman had roman right on the dance floor and at first, they were just casually vibing together. it was really nice and it kinda got roman to wanna dance with her. he was still being a bit stingy though.

but then, iman turned herself around and started to dance up on him. she was moving her hips and she put roman's hands on her waist so he could move with her on the beat. all eyes were starting to go onto them and iman's friends started to gas them up a bit.

"see? isn't this fun?" iman said to him.

"so when's the part when I grab on your ass?" roman asked her.

"almost there...." she smirked.

she waited for the chorus of the song to come on and the minute petey pablo started naming all of the girls in the song, iman started to get down. she was dippin' it low and shaking her ass, all on roman. when she got back up, she was grinding up on him which resulted to everyone on the dance floor to cheer and gas them up. phone cameras were going around as everyone wanted a look at what they were doing. roman was grabbing onto iman's ass as she was dancing on him. she was having a good time and so was he, only cause he got to touch her.

the song transitioned into my type by saweetie which sampled freak a leek anyways so it was the perfect transition. iman got back up from roman and he pulled her away from the dance floor.

"I really just wanna take you home and do so many things to you" roman said. he's been pushing to have sex with iman since he saw her in that jumpsuit. .

"it's my party baby I just can't leave" iman giggled.

"however.... I will let you do anything you want to me tonight, you deserve it".

roman had a huge smile on his face and when iman turned around to go back onto the dance floor, he smacked her ass which caused iman to have a small smirk on her face. god she loved that man.

sparklers were going off on iman's birthday cake right now. everyone just finished singing stevie wonder's rendition of happy birthday to her and she was just reeling in all of the love. the party had been amazing, she was dancing and drinking all night spending so much time with her friends and family. it was amazing and she was so blessed.

after getting the slices everyone including iman had walked away from the dessert table. right before anyone could eat though, roman was walking onto the stage and he grabbed the microphone.

"hey everyone, i'm iman's husband roman and the one that planned this surprise party for her" roman said on the mic.

"WITH MY HELP!" janelle yelled out, which prompted some to laugh.

"yeah so first off I wanna say, happy birthday iman. you are truly the love of my life, you've made my life a lot better and have taught me a lot of things. we've been through a lot but it's all worth it, i'm glad to have you as my wife and as the mother of our child. I love you" roman first said.

"love you too" iman said faintly.

"so i've basically been surprising iman throughout the night but there's one more surprise I have for her tonight that I wanna present" roman announced. "it's nearing the time that we gotta get outta here so I might as well present it as the finale for the night".

"this surprise is outside though, so i'm gonna need for everyone and iman to follow me outside to see it".

outside? what could be outside? everyone was wondering what it could've been, including iman who was very confused. roman is always so damn mysterious.

"what do you have up your sleeve now?" iman wondered.

"you'll see baby" roman grinned. "you'll see".

roman led everyone out to the parking lot of 583 and once everyone saw what it was, gasps were let out and iman was astonished. she couldn't believe what was in front of her, and she was so happy.

"MY CAR!" iman screamed out.

roman purchased her a 2020 maserati quattroporte, aka iman's dream car. before iman would just drive in a mercedes gle but she got a whole maserati now. she's wanted this car ever since she went with roman to a fancy car dealership months ago. she didn't know when she was actually gonna get this car but she definitely got it now. it was a white sports car which was her favorite and it was even better on the inside. she had beige leather seats which was better than the black she usually had and the cat just felt so luxurious, she felt like a superstar.

iman was so excited as she was dancing all in front of the car while the people recorded her. she then hugged roman and gave him a kiss.

"YOU DRIVING US AROUND IN THIS ONE SIS!" tron, one of her close friends yelled out.

"I KNOW!" iman said.

"thank you so much".

"you finally got a cool car" roman jokingly said.

"please" iman chuckled. "I love you so much".

"love you too" roman said as he kissed her forehead.

it was a little after midnight and the party was over. everyone was going home now, and that included roman and iman.

"hey iman! we're going to continue the party and actually go to club allure.... you wanna come?" janelle asked her.

"I got my own plans" iman said as she looked at roman who was staring up the car.

"she's getting dick janelle she's not coming!" aniyah shouted out at them.

"I actually will be doing that since i'm getting it" iman chuckled.

"okay girl I didn't need to know that!" janelle said. "but you have fun!".

"you know I will" iman smirked, flipping her ponytail and going back to roman's car.

she got in the car and they drove out of 583 and back to the penthouse. roman was practically speeding, he's been horny all night and he couldn't wait to rip that jumpsuit off of her and do- well everything. iman couldn't wait too, she had a good amount of alcohol in her system and roman did too. tonight could be real interesting.

they got to the penthouse and once they got inside, they took their shoes off at the door and roman picked iman up and started to kiss her. they were kissing and making their way to the bedroom. right when they did, it was officially game time. the rest of the night was theirs and no one could stop them.

what an amazing night.
