like this! I closed my eyes and smiled replying, "Yes."
    "Yes what?"
    "Yes I will be yours." I said. He smiled, holding both sides of my face kissing my forehead, nose, and then my lips.
    "Thank you, that’s all I needed to hear tonight." he said, before walking out and closing the door behind him. I let out a deep breath, walking into my bathroom. As I ran a cold shower, I couldn't help but smile. Even though I didn't get "none", this was still the best Valentine's Day.
     
     

Chapter 7: From This Day Forward
     
          The sun snuck its way through my bedroom window, the rays hitting my eyelids. I could even hear birds chirping rather rapidly. That’s a first, or maybe this could be the first time I actually paid attention. Waking up this morning was quite different than most lately. A feeling of peace came over me. My mental vision was clearer and my hearing more intense. I find it hard to believe that a person could enhance my soul this way; but then again, isn't that what we are here for….to elevate our souls through this journey? I opened my eyes, glancing around the room. The sun broke through every possible crack, as if an angel was descending down from the Heavens straight into my room. My phone rang, startling me. I reached to answer it and then it stopped. I picked it up anyway to see who was calling. Shelly. As I was getting ready to redial her number she called back.
    "Hey girl! What's up? You boo'ed up?" I rubbed my hand across my face then dropped it onto the bed, in disappointment.
    "No chick. I’m solo this morning."
    "Whaat?? What happened? Or what didn't happen I should say?" she continued.
    "Oh girl, it was about to happen! We were interrupted by the girl next door!" I replied laughing. "I’ll tell you about it later, when I feel like taking another cold shower. How’d my baby do last night? Was he good?"
    "Yes hunny, he was an angel. It's my nephews that got on my damn nerves! Thias is so sweet though. He was asking about you all night."
    "I know child! He is not used to being without me."
    "Well, he is a little mama's boy. But I was just calling to see if I can keep him one more day?"
    "Girl no! I miss my baby!"
    "Look, you gotta learn to let him spread his wings Sage! I’m going to take care of him. I promise. I'm taking my nephews to Six Flags today and Thias is already sold on the idea. Please?"
    "What am I going to do today Shelly?"
    "I don't know heffa! Try being a woman!" she laughed. "Go out with ya man! You the only mama I know that has objections about someone volunteering to keep their child. You a mess!"
    "Ok well just let me talk to him for a second." She began calling Thias’s name for him to come to the phone.
    "Hey mama! We going to Six Flags today!!" I could feel his smile through the phone. "Ok baby. Mama misses you."
    "Moooom!" he whined. "I only been gone one night. What would you do without me?" "I'd really be lost, baby." I responded. "Make sure you wear your long sleeve shirt today. It’s pretty out, but it's still supposed to be a little windy."
    "Ok mama, I love you. See you later!" Before I could say I love you too he had already handed Shelly back the phone.
    "See girl! He aiight! Now go get you a life!" We both laughed.
    "Well do you need some money for the tickets? I got a few dollars."
    "Naw, we good. My sister gave me three free kids’ passes yesterday."
    "Ok. I appreciate you girl."
    "No problem love, see you later." I hung up the phone and sat up on the side of the bed. I have no idea what to do with myself right now. My phone rang again, this time it was Silk.
    "Good morning love." he answered. "How did you sleep last night?"
    "I slept pretty good, but I woke up feeling amazing."
    "Has Thias made it back yet?"
    "You won't believe this! I just got off the phone with Shelly and she asked to keep him another day. They are going to Six Flags." He began to laugh.
    "What's so funny?" I asked.
    "The fact that you literally sound hurt that he's not coming home
