A Hooper's Dream

                   Melo's POV

"Be quiet and don't wake her up" I said as I let E and Kaliah inside the house

Evoni: "I promise we'll be quiet" she smiled as she sat her suitcases down

Kaliah: "I'm so excited I wanna scream" she whispered

I looked her like she was crazy

Kaliah: "Relax I'm not going to" She said lowly as she sat her stuff down next to E's

The girls spent about 10 minutes debating who was gonna sleep in which guest room before finally taking their things upstairs

It was 7 in the morning so I took my ass back to bed

By the time I woke up again it was at least 9 and imani was still sound asleep in my arms

I'd give the world to stay like this forever but I needed to get up and actually get ready for the  day

I got up, took a shower, brushed my teeth, then got dressed before waking up mani

"Wifey" I said as I gently tapped her forehead

It sounds silly but it was something I always did since we met.

The thing is.. she hated being woken up and would get real violent with people but one day I realized that she she'd never go crazy when I woke her up.

I'd tap her forehead so she knew it was me and not somebody else, I guess it was something that just stuck with me

She opened her eyes then closed them again

"Come on slug, get up" I said as tapped her forehead again

This time her eyes shoot open and she sat up

I chuckled to myself knowing she  hated when I called her that

"What?" I played dumb

Imani: "nothing, you just haven't called me that in years" she shrugged as she got out of bed

"You still hate it?" I chuckled

Something in me loved to get on her last nerve early in the morning

I watched as she shook her head

Imani: "I got used to it but once you stopped calling me that...I guess I started to miss it" she shrugged as she got out of bed

I watched as she headed to the closet

"No need.. check that bag over there" I said as I pointed to the corner of the closet

Imani: "oh im gonna look bomb in this" she said as she held up the gray bodysuit I bought her

"Oh I know" I smirked as she headed to the bathroom

I quickly jogged to E's room to make sure the girls were ready

"Mani's in the shower so she should be ready in like 30 minutes.. stick to the plan"

Kaliah: "We know, we know" She nodded

I headed back to my room to wait for imani

Once she was out of the shower I watched her get dressed and do her makeup

I smiled as I watched her slide the ring back into her finger

"I've got a surprise waiting for you downstairs"

Imani: "then why we still standing here?!" She laughed as she damn near dragged me downstairs with her

She looked so confused to see the living room just as she left it
