“Reach into my pocket and get one of your gifts,” he said.
I did a little happy dance as I smiled big, and then I dug my hands into his right pocket. It was a set of keys, and the word, Tesla, was written on it. All I could think about was how a couple months ago, I told him I would t
rade my Mercedes coupe in and get this Tesla because I had been eyeing that car for almost a year.
“Oh, my God! Baby, you got me a Tesla?” I screamed while pulling his arm, so he could stand up with me.
“Go outside and look,” he nonchalantly said. I stepped into my house shoes that had slipped off when I was sitting down on his lap and ran outside, eager to see if there was a new car in the driveway waiting for me. Once I got the door unlocked, I raced out to the driveway, and there it was, a beautiful red, 2020 Tesla Model X with a huge, beautiful, hot pink bow on the front of it. The ribbons read, Happy Birthday, Beautiful.
“Thank you, baby. Hmmmm, I love you,” I cooed, kissing him all over his face, and then I went to check the car out.
The inside was a perfect beige color, and all I could do was think to myself that this was exactly the one I wanted. I never told Billionaire the model, the color, or anything that I wanted about this car, but it was crazy how he still delivered. I swear this man had access to read the thoughts taking place inside my head. Inside the car were so many shopping bags from a few of my favorite stores, like Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Hermes, and a few other stores. Gift bags filled the entire back seats, and it was hard to fully see the interior, but I wasn’t complaining.
“Make you want to give a nigga some more babies, huh?” Billionaire asked as he stood outside the car and watched me with his arms folded.
“Baby, I’ll give you all the babies in the world. You’re so perfect,” I said before grabbing his face with both hands and kissing him.
“Ima hold you to that,” he said, and I knew he would.
This man didn’t forget a damn thing.
10:16 P.M.
“Out of all the shit that we could have done tonight, this is what you’d rather do? Bae, I could have flown us anywhere in the fuckin’ world for the weekend, and we could have come back Monday morning. Why you choose to do this?” Billionaire asked me as he reclined his seat and looked over at me in the passenger seat.
We were at the Swap Shop, but at the drive-in movie theater. I already had the throw blanket wrapped around me that I liked to use when I was in the house, I had all types of sweets, and I was straight. Yes, I loved when my birthday came around, but the older I got, it really wasn’t the celebration that I cared about. Instead, it was just the fact that I was thankful to be here.
Not to sound like a broken record, but with what happened in Mexico, I could have been spending my birthday God knows where, if I hadn’t been rescued. This birthday, I just wanted to keep it simple, although my husband went out of his way to do everything over the top. After breakfast and taking my new car around the block a couple of times, we went to the next part of my birthday celebration. Billionaire took me to look at three gorgeous homes, because true to his word, he wanted to put us into something bigger since our family would soon expand. I loved him to death, but I knew he was such in a hurry to find us a house, so I could sell my townhouse.
The second home we looked at, I fell in love with it. I mean, it was really something out of a movie, and my fingers were crossed that this would be the home we got and that everything went according to plan. After that, I was pampered at my favorite salon and spa. The only thing I wanted to do after the wonderful day I had was kick back with my husband and enjoy this drive-in movie.
“It’s the simple things I love. You know that. I enjoyed my day. You made me feel like a real-life queen today. I’m not mad at you anymore,” I cooed, making him laugh at me.
Billionaire was dressed down in his laidback attire tonight, which wasn’t anything but some sweats and a V-neck. He was so laid back that he was even rocking his durag. I knew he would have rather been anywhere in the world with me except in the car at a drive-in movie, but he was doing it to make me happy.
“You was never mad at me. You was just acting like a spoiled ass brat,” he said while opening a pack of banana Now and Laters that he’d picked up from the corner store. That’s where we stopped on the way, so we could have our snacks for the movie. Billionaire even had some boiled peanuts in the cup holder that he was waiting to eat once the movie started. We were there to watch Bad Boys, and I was excited to see it. Loving to be snuggled up with him whenever we watched a movie together, I crawled over to his side of the car and got in his lap. We were riding in his Porsche, so there was plenty of room for me to squeeze in.
“You don’t be letting a nigga fuckin’ breathe, ma,” he joked and threw his head back into the headrest of the car.
I laughed as I snuggled closer, and within ten minutes, the movie started. I was fighting my sleep so hard once the movie started, although it was actually good. Billionaire’s phone buzzing in his pockets had me getting up. He lifted my body a little bit so he could dig into his pocket and retrieve his phone. Once he had it, I laid back down on his chest.
“Yo,” he spoke into the phone.
I could hear a male voice on the other end, but I couldn’t really make out what they were saying. What came from Billionaire next made me jump up, so I could look at him.
“Are you fuckin’ serious? When? I just fuckin’ talked to him this morning! He called and wished Normani a happy fuckin’ birthday and everything! What the fuck, man!” Billionaire barked, and I even heard his voice crack.
I couldn’t figure out who he was talking about because a few of his people called him today, and he was telling everybody that it was my birthday. I talked to a few of his friends and family on the phone because they all were wishing me a happy birthday. Although it was dark in the car, the light from the movie screen outside was bright enough to shed some light into the car, and I saw a tear drop from his eyes.
I mouthed, “What’s was going on?” but he wouldn’t tell me. He just continued his conversation.
Almost five minutes later, he hung the phone up, and when he did, he let out a loud, thunderous growl that scared me shitless.
“Baby, what happened? What happened, Billionaire?” I asked and took his phone, so I could see who had called because he wasn’t answering me. It was his dad that he’d just finished speaking to.
“Fuck niggas killed my uncle, man,” he said, and a tear fell from his eyes.
My hands went over my mouth as I thought about his uncle Malcom. Like Billionaire said, I’d just talked to him this morning on the phone. He was calling just to chop it up with his nephew, but Billionaire told him it was my birthday, so he and I talked on the phone for a few. I remember one of the last things he told me; he basically thanked me. He felt like Billionaire meeting me had a lot to do with the changes he was making in his life. A tear fell from my eyes, as well.
