Imagine your whole life being a lie and all your dreams being pushed aside against your will. Imagine being tied to someone you don't even know. Imagine how Tayeisha Peterson felt when she was told she has to marry a man she doesn't even know.
The day is finally here. Today I'm actually getting married and to say that I'm nervous is an understatement. This is a forever thing that I'm about to do and I have no way out of it. Not that I'm looking for one.
"Yo, my head is killing me." Freddy groaned, holding his head.
"That's what you get for drinking to much last night." I chuckled. Dumbass.
"I had to get lit for my boy. It was your last day of freedom. You're about to officially be tied down. No more hoes, staying out late, doing reckless shit." He told me like as if I don't already know.
"I haven't messed with anyone in a whole year so I ain't worried about hoes and I only plan to go out with Tay or if I absolutely have to." I said.
"Yo, when does this shit start?" T-Bone asked, walking into the hotel suite.
"In like 30 minutes. You gave Tay's maid of honor the gift?" I asked him.
"Yeah. Shawty bad as fuck. Tay need to put me on." He licked his lips. I mean? If he like the gold digging type then he should go on ahead.
There was a knock on the door and Freddy went to open it. It was Tay's cousin and she handed Freddy a small box. It must be the gift Tay got for me but I told her not to even bother.
"This shits heavy." Freddy said then tossed the box to me. I caught it and examined the black box with red ribbon.
I untied the ribbon and opened the box. I smirked, looking at the diamond covered Rolex. I took the watch out and turned it over. On the back it was engraved with our wedding date and initials. Damn, she did good.
"Bruh, I need me a Tayeisha. That watch probably cost as much as her ring." Freddy said.
"Nah bruh. That ring plus the band that matches it cost me like 3 Rolex's. It ain't a thing though. What's the point of being wealthy and having a girl if you don't give her the finer things in life." I let him know.
I stood up and looked at myself in the mirror. Damn, I can't believe I'm really getting married. Seeing myself in this tux really just made it real. It's a start to a whole new life.

"Uncle Z!" I snapped out of my thoughts and turned around to see my play nephew running to me with the ring pillow in his hand.
"Wassup lil man?" I bent down on one knee and he ran right into me. I laughed and straighten out his blazer that matches mine.
"I hungry but my mommy said no. No cookie." He pouted.
"You're gonna get your suit dirty then you won't be fly no more. Don't you want to be as fly as me?" I asked. He pouted but nodded. "Auntie Tay wants you to look handsome to walk down the isle but after, you can eat as many sweets as you want. Cool?" I asked.
