Two Worlds Apart

68

August

"All packed?"

"Yes and I'd still like for my man to tell me where myself and our son are going or at least meeting him."

"Does it matter? You trust me regardless."

"That is true but you know how I feel about surprises. I don't even know why you're surprising us for your birthday." She laughed.

"Because I can." I smirked

Deciding on going Puerto Rico for my birthday, though she was hell bent on knowing where we were going, I was standing my ground.

"We'll see you later wherever then."

"Yup. I love you. Kiss August for me."

"I will and I love you too."

Ending the call, I went back to packing my bag. Terrence was on his way to pick me and as always, I was late to packing. We were gonna be gone for a week and then she was coming back to Atlanta for another week but I had plans of going somewhere else, seeing as she was on two weeks vacation.

This was going to be my first time in two months seeing them and I needed it. After leaving at the end of June, between hers and my work schedule, not even weekends could have been accommodated. So when she told me her vacation got approved, naturally I was happy about that.

Hearing the buzzer on the intercom, I checked the monitor and saw it was Terrence coming in. Finishing pack, I made my way downstairs and opened the door, same time he was coming up the porch.

"Wassup goon. Ready for this trip?" He took my bag.

"Yeah man, you?" I laughed.

"Hey man." He said loudly. "Whether it's to be security for you or babysit my lil goon, I'm always ready."

"And we appreciate that man. We really do." I said as we finally dapped.

"You know Chrys tried to get me to snitch?" He laughed.

"I'm not surprised. She hate not knowing where she's going.

"You know why she don't like surprises?" He asked as we entered the kitchen.

"Anxiety." I admitted. "She suffers from anxiety since she was young."

"Oh shit. I ain't know that."

"Yeah but I still plan them to show her, it's nothing to be worried about. Sometimes she accepts it sometimes she doesn't but I don't take it personally."

Getting a couple bottles of water from the fridge and some fruits I had prepared in a ziplock bag, I grabbed my keys, set the alarm and left.

"Well that's good. Y'all been good?"

"Nah, we've been great." I smirked. "I think because we were both in work mode, that it didn't even bother us much, but now, a nigga is ready to be with his fam."

"Bet yo ass she gets pregnant from this trip."

"Man." I smacked my lips. "We got enough time for that if it's to happen again."

"I was just about to ask if you didn't want anymore."

"I do but it's also Chrys's body that will be going through the changes."

"Well just be safe."

"Ah nigga will try." I laughed.

After being stuck in traffic for almost an hour, we finally made our way to the airport. Making it with some time to spare, once checked in, we went to the gate.
