" Come in." I said to the person knocking at my office door.

I looked up and seen Nia walk in right along side with Jenici. The store was closed and I was staying after like I always do.

" Hey sis in law."

I gave a small smile to the the both of them, " Hey guys."

Nia sat down, " Want to get dinner with us?"

I'm really happy they became close friends because I love them both and that would of been hard if they didn't like each other.

" I don't think so. I have to go do something later tonight." I didn't want to mention Casie or Gio.

" Like what?"

" I made plans with your brother." I instantly thought of a lie.

Jenici sighed, " That stupid bum. Well okay, I guess there will always be a next time."

I chuckled, " Next weekend."

" Next weekend what?" Nia asked typing on her phone.

" Next weekend, we can do something. I won't make any plans."

She nodded, " Oh hell yea, you guys want to jump out of a plane?"

Jenici scoffed, " Girl bye. I'm not jumping out of a plane. Better ask your boo."

" Afraid of heights." Nia said pouting.

" Yea count me out."

" Well just let me know. I don't have any plans." Jenici said standing up.

" Okay."

" Hey sis." Gio said as I walked inside the kitchen.

" Hey. Is Casie sleeping?"

" Yea, the baby has been giving her a really hard time." He said washing the last of the dishes.

I put my things down and helped him dry, " Where is Junie?"

" Dad has her for the weekend. Nadia I really appreciate you being here for us and taking care of Junie, but you still have a life of your own and that's seems selfish of me to stop that."

I shook my head, " You aren't stopping my life. You guys are my family and family comes first. I know if the roles were reversed, you would be there. Trust me, I don't mind at all."

He nodded, " Alright then but you can head home, I got everything settled. I'll let you know if I need anything."

" Okay, I'll see you later. Love you." I said giving him a hug.

" Love you too."

I made it home and unlocked the door. When I opened it, I was instantly shocked because it looked different. There were flower petals on the floor, candles lit and heart-shaped balloons everywhere.
