"I will cut his ass. I didn't wanna just text him, what's today? because I want him to remember. Shit, he better remember because I want Corey later."

"Nah, I ain't believing he forgot ya birthday. The woman he loves nah." Arie said.

I sighed, "I don't know."

After spending the day running around for tomorrow. I decided to stay in my room at my Mom's house tonight instead of my apartment.

I took a shower and climbed right into my bed. As soon as I got comfortable I got a text from Joey.

You ain't come see Corey today? Joey texted me.

I rolled my eyes sending him a straight face emoji.

wya?

fuck you. I replied.

😂😂😂 wya?

😑🖕🏽

He didn't text back.

A minute later Aubree walked into my room then walked back out.

"What are you doing weirdo?" I called to her.

"Oh, nothing." She called back.

15 minutes later I got a text from Joey telling me to come outside.

I stared at the text confused before getting up, putting my slides on and going downstairs.

I opened the door as Joey's car was pulling up into the driveway.

"Happy Birthday!" Corey shouted once Joey got him out the car and he was holding a bouquet of roses.

"Awh, thank you baby." I said with a huge smile on my face as I picked him up. "Give me kiss."

He grabbed my cheeks kissing me. "Love you."

"I love you more Poppa."

"He's been practicing saying happy birthday all day." Joey said making me look up at him and he was carrying a bunch of balloons. "Happy Birthday Kaelyn."

"Awh, thank you. I thought I was gonna have to cut you for forgetting."

"Nah, never that."

"Corey, tell Kae you want her to come spend the night with us."

"Yes, please." He said pressing his face into mine.

I sighed with a smile, "Okay, Poppa."

I went into the house to pack me a bag and I also stopped into my mom's room to let them know I'm leaving.

"Wanna see Momo." I said to Corey as we walked into their room.

"Kae you love just walking in our room." Dad Ron said.

"Only when y'all door is open."

"That's my baby Corey." My mom said sitting up.

"Momo!" He said reaching for my mom.

"Little man look just like his idiot ass dad." Dad Ron said.

"Don't say that, he'll copy you." I said.

"Good." I shook my head.

"What you doing here baby?" My mom asks Corey.

"Happy Birthday Kae." He said pointing at me.
