falling for you. | tarasia

hbd princess, pt2 .

                     fantasias pov:

stepping out of the shower, i realized i had been in for over thirty minutes. my hands looked like curly fries.

once i dried off and stepped into my room. there was a dress laid out, heels and a bouquet of roses.

a note was there.

"my lil shit forever"

nobody wrote this, but t. i laughed and smelled the roses.

"monique!" my mom yelled out.

"im coming out"

"it's been almost an hour come on guh"

"okay"

once i put the dress and heels on, i immediately started to feel myself. i literally have been eating my rice and cabbage.

i applied my favorite scents.

afterwards, i sat down and took a mirror picture holding my flowers and left to join everyone else.

the way they immediately started to hype me up and clap upon my entrance.  it was very much heartwarming and beautiful. 

growing up feeling like you're ugly, but always had someone there to let you know that you're beautiful, it's been that way my whole life and thats why my confidence level has broken the scale.

im literally HER.

"i chose the perfect size. you look good."

"you probably had to ask jen" i teased.

"nah, i just went by yo height and hips."

"well, thank you, i suppose my hips are taking it."

"not just the hips, everything. including you"

this girl know what she doing looking at me with them eyes.

"stop doing that."

"what am i doing?"

she lightly put one hand on my waist, slowly rubbing it up and down.

she removed her hand, kissing my cheek.

"i got something to show you, but it can wait until the party over."

"hint?"

"luxurious."

oh? let me find out she got me a yacht.

they got me a cake made out of my literal face.

"come on, baby girl, let's get our pictures out the way"

i took pictures with my parents first, friends second, and lastly, t.

she kept trying to rub on my butt.

"t- cut it out. my parents are standing right there"

"they not even looking"

"they could turn at any given moment"

"well, then we can make it a quick shot"

"hurry and snap, please. i dont mean to rush i just would rather this one be done quickly."

"whenever you're ready"

"ass covering both of my hands. shit feel like heaven." she kissed my neck.

i couldn't help, but laugh and squirm.

4:45

"everyone gather around, please."

we all stood around, awaiting for my mom to speak.

"so, as you all may know, it's my baby who's not a baby anymore, twentieth birthday, and i would just like to say, Fantasia Monique Barrino, i love you forever and always. if it had not been for your existence, i wouldn't have made it through the rough times i was having with you. ive missed three months of holding you and it was hard, but i had to make it my priority to make up for all those missed months and sundays. as your mother, i can proudly say you have kept me out of harms way even as a newborn. thats why i love on you as much as i do and can. you saved me and never even knew it. happy birthday, i love you, baby. "

"i love you more, mommy."

i hugged her tightly, never wanting to let go.

"now who cutting onions up in here?!" my dad yelled.

everyone laughed. he came and joined the hug.

"love you babygirl"

"love you more, dad."

"now let's sing happy birthday, shall we!"

after everyone sung, it was time to open gifts.

"it's so many. what am i opening first"

"open the big red bag first" t spoke.

i pulled out a red lingerie set, but only enough to where i could see it.

"t..." i chuckled.

"dont by shy, let us see."

"absolutely not, next gift."

"purple bag"

it was a brace- the same bracelet set t bought yesterday for her "girl" so it was me this whole time.

she got up and helped me put it on.

"thats pretty" my mom said.

"pretty girls deserve pretty things" t spoke never taking her eyes off me "except you fine as fuck with it" she added.

"we have a crowd t, wait until later" i whispered.

"ok, best open mines. pandora bag"

it was a pendant with a picture of us in the eighth grade.

"aww, thank you, best! i love it. "

"this one is special. it's from your dad and i. "

i opened the letter only to see front row seat tickets to patti labelle concert.

i broke down. they know how much i adore patti.

"i can't stand yall. i really cant" i said, wiping my eyes.

"and we love you more. we know how much you love patti, so why not? first concert at twenty"

"best gift so far. i love them all, but this is by far my favorite. thank you, guys."

"anything for you"

after the gift opening and partying...

7:40

the party was over. my parents and friends cleaned up everything, and i just sat back being the princess i am.

"everything all cleaned and ready to go. we have something else for you tomorrow, so be prepared. love you, goodnight. "

"i love yall more, and thanks for everything."

"anytime baby"

7:50

my house was officially cleared and cleaned. i dont know where t is taking me, but im trusting her.

"you had fun tonight?"

"i cried most of the night, but overall, i enjoyed you guys"

"hopefully, you enjoy what i have planned."

"oh god"

"what? its gon be enjoyable for the most part. "

"i trust you"

"you do?"

"no, but it sounds good saying what i know you wanna hear."

"i know i fucked up, but im not on that type of timing nomore"

"stop telling me that and just show me"

"i will, just let me. you ready?"

"yes"

she grabbed my hand, leading me outside.
