It All Started With Hello Ch.18

Artemis

New Year's was so much fun.

After welcoming the new year in church, we went by a church member, and one of my dad's friend, Willie Thomas and Anya Thomas.

We popped fireworks and ate meatballs, chicken, and bread. Their dog Sheriff(they're police officers) didn't seem to like me when we first came in, but when I got my plate I was the first one he came to.

At 2AM, I texted Prince, Roc, Ray, Prod, Myles, Keisha, Walter, and Kenneth happy New Year's. They reolyed back the same thing.

[Happy New Year, mi amor:) can I call you right now? -Prince]

[Happy New Year, baby:) and yes you can -Princess]

Prince's ringtone, Boo Thang, started playing and everyone looked at me.

"Ooh! Someone's famous boyfriend is calling them." Anya teased. I cut my eyes and answered my phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey mi amor! I miss you, baby!" Princeton said excited through the phone.

"I miss you, too. Happy New Year." I smiled.

"Happy New Year." He said then paused.

"Any reason you wanted to call beside wanting to hear my beautiful voice?" I joked. We both laughed as I walked into the room Sarayi, Juno, and I were staying in while we stayed over here. I went into the bathroom.

"I wanted to tell you something. Something important. I just wish I could tell you in person, but I have to tell you now." Prince said.

"Okay. What is it?" I asked.

"Artemis, I love you. I love you. I love you. Te quiero, mi amor*. Artemis, I love you so much. I really do. I don't know how I would function if I didn't hear your voice or see your face-- if I didn't know you. I love you with my heart. Doce veinte doce**." He said. (*I love you, my love) (**12/20/12)

I was crying silently and happily.

"I love you, too, Prince. I love you so much. You make me so happy. I love just hearing your name. I love seeing you smile. I love everything about you. I'm so glad you even noticed me. If I knew anyother language I would say I love you, but since I only know English," We both laughed softly. "I love you so much, Jacob. 12/20/12."

"Artemis, did you just call me Jacob?" Prince asked.

"That's your name isn't it?" I answered.

"Yes. I love the way you say my name." He sighed. I giggled at his goofiness.

"You are truly mindless." I shook my head.

"Thank you, amor." He said and I could hear the smile in his voice. I yawned loudly.

"I'm sorry for yawning all in the phone." I yawned again. "Sorry."

Prince chuckled softly.

"It's fine. The boys wanna talk to you." He said.

"Speaker!" I said.

"Hey Greece!" Ray yelled.

"What's good Greek Goddess?" Roc asked.

"Hey Princess." Prod greeted simply.

"Hey boys. I miss you guys!" I said

"We miss you, too!" They said.

"Happy New Year. I love you guys so much! You are like brothers to me. Ray, you have to be my twin." I laughed.

"Yeah. My twin is Greece, Prince." Ray gloated.

"I'm going to take out your twin, amor." Prince joked.

"No! Not my twin!" I joked with them. We all laughed.

"What's good, Artemis?" Prod asked.

"At one of my dad's friend's house for the New Year. We just finished popping fireworks." I answered.

"It's like, what? Two out there?" Roc asked.

"Yeah. We had a thing at church where we finish the year in church and bring the new year in church." I explained.

"Oh. That's cool. It sounds nice." Prod said.

"Yeah. The sermon Pastor Kirk gave was amazing." I smiled.

"Aww. Prince got him a little church girl." Ray teased.

"Aye! Ain't nothing wrong with a church girl, Ray!" Keisha shouted. "Hey Artemis. Happy New Year. Can't wait to sew you for Ray's birthday."

"Guys, Ray's birthday is a day before we have to go back to school." I told them.

"Awww!" They whined.

"I'm sorry, but we may not be able to come. When you guys come for Isis's and Horus's birthday we'll party three times as hard." I promised.

"I like the idea." Ray said.

"Alright. I love you guys, but I'm tired. I'll talk to you later, okay?" I yawned.

"Alright. Love you, twin." Ray said.

"Love you, Princess. Sleep well, little sis." Prod laughed.

"Love you, GoddessA." Roc smiled before Prince took the phone off speaker.

"I love you, baby." I told Prince as I walked out of the bathroom.

"I love you, baby. Sleep well." Prince said before we hung up.

What a way to bring in a new year.
