16 HOURS LATER…..
I was awakened to Miracle and Persia shaking me squealing. “We are here bitch,” Persia said as she pointed to the window. I sat up and wiped my eyes as I looked at the beautiful scenery out of my window. It was absolutely breath taking. I couldn’t wait to get off of the plane and stretch my legs. Sitting for 16 hours on a plane was something serious. I didn’t sleep the whole trip here but I rarely got up. I unbuckled my seat belt and quickly got up. “Y’all know we about to fuck up some stores out here!” Persia yelled.
“I didn’t even bring a lot of money so I’ll watch you guys shop,” Miracle said as she smiled.
“Girl do your ass really think Turk about to let you come all the way out here to watch us shop? Best believe he gone drop some money in your pocket. He would never do that to you,” Persia stated.
While they were talking I tried to walk past them so that I could go outside. I was a sucker for nice scenery. I needed to see what Cuba was about and staying in this damn plane with these two heffas wasn’t going to cut it. As I walked down the plane’s steps with Miracle and Persia following closely behind I spotted the men sitting by the limo sharing a cigar and having conversation. When they were huddled like that Persia and I knew not to bother them because they were more than likely talking about something serious. We were welcomed by two beautiful women who placed beautiful Orchid flowers in our hair.
“Welcome Ladies, Stacks is looking forward to meeting you,” the ladies said in unison.
“Who the hell is Stacks?” Persia asked as she placed her hand on her hip.
“The women looked at each other as if that was one of the craziest questions anyone has ever asked.”
“Stacks is our Pops, like I said before…. he runs Cuba.” Adonis interrupted in his deep baritone raspy voice. “Y’all ladies ready to go or what?” He pulled the limo door open and we quickly walked over to get in. The roads were cobblestone making the ride to Stacks home very bumpy. Either way, I enjoyed the ride as I snuggled next to the love of my life. Within 20 minutes the limo came to a complete stop in front of a house that looked like the Whitehouse. There was a large gold gate that guarded the fortress. James appeared to be speaking into the intercom system and the gates immediately started to open. The limo crept through the entrance and my eyes were literally glued to what awaited for us outside of the limo. Tall white cranes, pink flamingoes, and funny-looking pelicans, to name a few, all danced in what appeared to be a large water fountain with the name Stacks engraved on every side. I thought our home was pure luxury but this shit here was magnificent.
The limo door flew open and we all got out one by one. The doors to the luxurious home slowly opened and two more Spanish women walked out. Behind them appeared to be a man that looked like Adonis and Ramses. Now I could see where they got it from because he was every bit of sexy. He reminded me of the actor Idris Elba. I could see where Adonis had gotten his cold glare from as well because there was no hint of emotion on his face.
“Stacks, my mothafuckin Unc,” Turk boomed as he walked over and embraced him.
“Ahhh, my fuckin boys are finally here. Took y’all mothafuckas long enough.” He said as he eyed them. “Mom. My lovely mother. You haven’t aged one bit.” He said as he walked over to her kissing both cheeks. Then he spotted us. He walked over to us slowly and began to whistle. He stared at me squinting his eyes for a while before he looked at Persia and Miracle.
“Let me guess who each of you belong to,” he said as he eyed us.
“You.” He pointed to me before he continued. “You are chocolate, I know my son loves a chocolate thick woman. He definitely got that from me because you are beautiful. You belong to Adonis.” He continued down the line as he stared at Persia. “You are stunning, you belong to Ramses, and you must belong to Turk,” he finished before he kissed all of our hands. “Welcome to the family ladies, Briana I hear that your birthday is tomorrow. You and Adonis will get the master suite. Help yourself to any and everything you need. Mi casa su casa!” He yelled as he popped open a bottle of champagne. Even though I couldn’t drink anything but red wine, this mini vacation was starting off just right.
ADONIS
We all sat in my dad’s basement that resembled the living room of a mansion. Every time I came to my dad’s crib it was a constant reminder that I needed to put in more and more work in order to get to where he had gotten. Then I looked at my bank account and realized that I was already there or had at least caught up to him. If I wanted a house like this I could easily have it built for me, but I was an impatient mothafucka and I wouldn’t like the waiting process. My pops stood up with a cigar in one hand and a glass of Hennessey in the other as he walked towards the window. With his back facing us he began to talk. “So you lil niggas really love them girls huh?” He asked. “Pops, you don’t even want to know what I have done to a mothafucka for even looking at Bri wrong. When somebody disrespects her Adonis flies out of the window and in comes Wolf.” I stated honestly.
Stacks chuckled as he toked his cigar before turning around and looking at all of us. “Son, I’m convinced men are crazier than women when they’re in love. Y’all niggas ain’t never loved another woman other than your grandmother so these feelings are foreign to you. I’m proud of my boys for finally settling down because ain’t shit out here for you if you constantly messing around with these hoes. Ain’t nothing like loyal warm pussy that’s waiting for you at home,” he preached. We all clinked our glasses and chatted for a couple hours before we departed ways for the rest of the day. I walked to the room Briana and I occupied and didn’t see her there. I spotted her outside walking on the beach with her bathing suit on making sand castles with Kenneth. I smiled to myself as I imagined how our family would be once the twins were born. I threw on some basketball shorts with a tank top and headed out there to join them.
Briana
“Now lift it baby and you’ll have a sand castle,” I told Kenneth as we played on the beach. Stacks had a beautiful home that looked over the over-lapping plains, green mountains bordered all sides with white sand beaches and a dark-sapphire, rolling ocean, and tall royal palms peppered through the countryside. The rich land overflowed with brilliantly colored wildlife. His backyard was so beautiful. I felt at peace because it was so breathtaking, tranquil and serene.
“Wassup baby, mind if I join y’all?” Adonis asked from a few feet away. Kenneth saw him and immediately ran to him. It was wonderful because he was beginning to warm up to everyone so fast. He was such a happy little boy with a wonderful soul. Adonis picked him up and walked over to where I was standing. I stood up and began to watch the sunset as he wrapped his free arm around me. I stood on my tip toes and kissed him passionately. “Always and forever Bri?” He asked as he shot me and intense stare. “Always and forever baby.” I answered. He looked back at the sun and appeared to be in deep thought. Miracle and Turk came outside with Barbra behind them. As soon as Kenneth saw his mother he ran towards her at full speed. His little legs was hitting his back hard as he ran to her like his life depended on it. She bent down with her arms out but a saddened look graced her face as he ran to Turk instead. Everyone began to laugh as she stood up and shook her head.
“Babies, it’s getting dark out here and dinner is almost ready. Come on inside!” Barbra yelled from the doorway. “We will be in there in a minute Grams!” Adonis yelled back before he looked at me.
“Our eyes locked as the different hues from the sunset kissed our bodies. He held my hand is in his as he brought them up to his chest. He towered over me and sucked on my bottom lip before gripping my ass.
“You love me ma?” He asked that as if I never told him I loved him before. “Of course I love you baby, why would you ask me that?”
“You know I’m never letting you go Briana. I will never fucking let you go,” he said in a serious tone. Thing was, I already knew all of this. I just didn’t get why he was repeating it. “You are mine…” he stated.
; “And I am yours” I said finishing the sentence for him. He looked at me again as if he was in deep thought. I didn’t know what he was thinking about and I wanted to know so badly but I decided not to ask. He smiled at me and kissed me softly again “Lets gone head and take our asses inside”.
The next day……
I woke up to the sound of maracas with Miracle and Persia in party hats singing happy birthday. “Happy birthday bitch!” Persia screamed as she kissed me all over my face. “You finally grown now,” she said as she stopped and looked at me. It honestly didn’t even feel like my birthday. I didn’t even know what Adonis had planned for me but being in Cuba was enough. Waking up to the sound of the ocean crashing towards the shore was enough for me. I was in paradise and couldn’t have asked for anything better.
“Get ready boo, we going shopping,” Miracle said as she and Persia hopped off the bed. “Meet us down stairs within twenty minutes,” she continued. They both walked out and closed the door. I sat up in bed and yawned as I stretched my arms. I looked over at the empty spot that Adonis occupied last night. I wondered where he was. I picked up my phone and wanted to call him but decided against it. I’m sure he was with his father catching up and having a man to man conversation since they hadn’t in a while. I didn’t want to disturb them so I quickly got up and walked over to the Ihome system so that I could listen some Neo-Soul as I got ready. I turned it to Jon B – They don’t know. I walked into the bathroom and ran the shower water, I took off my night gown and stared at my body. I smiled at myself and hopped in.
Thirty minutes later I was finished. I decided to rock some denim skinny jeans, a black tank top & my black Giuseppe Zanotti flats. I tied my hair into a ponytail and threw on my sunglasses and was ready to explore Cuba. I quickly made my way downstairs, I saw Barbara in the kitchen feeding Kenneth. When he saw me he immediately got excited. I kissed his forehead and walked over to kiss Barbra as well. “Happy birthday baby, aww chile look at that little bump. You gone make me cry in here,” she said as she rubbed the side of my face.
“Thank you Grams, do you know where Adonis is?” I asked.
“Girl he somewhere around here with his dad, aren’t you ladies going to go shopping right now? Gone head and go.”
I don’t know if I was tripping but it seemed as though she was rushing me out of the house. Persia and Miracle soon joined us in the kitchen. We all said our goodbyes and headed out to the limo that awaited for us. I was ready to start my day.
MIRACLE
The girls and I had literally been shopping our asses off for the past three hours. We were sitting outside of the shopping centers waiting for James to come and pick us up when my phone started ringing. It was Turk calling and I immediately started smiling. Last night Turk, Kenneth and I had spent the whole night together in his room. Last night was also the first night me and him slept in the same bed together. We didn’t have sex but having him hold me through the night was the best feeling I’ve felt in a long time. I would sometimes wander away and he would grab be me and pull me closer to him. I would smile and drift off to sleep again. This morning he gave me money to go shopping with the girls while Kenneth stayed with him and the other guys. Of course I declined at first but he literally begged me to take it. I didn’t want him to think I was a gold digger because I was far from it. I wanted Turk for him not because of all the materialistic shit he came with.
“Hello?” I answered.
“Wassup baby, y’all on the way back? Everything set up! Make sure you put that blind fold over Briana before y’all get out of the Limo.”
“We’re are waiting for James now but I gave it to Persia so she will put it on,” I answered referring to the blind fold. Adonis had Persia and I take Briana out of the house for hours so that they could set up for the party he was throwing her. And also so that everyone could be there already before she arrived. We had went to the salon and got our hair done as well as a mani pedi. We also went to a couple boutiques and picked out a few outfits and told Briana to wear a white tight fitted dress that stopped just below her knees. On her feet were white and gold Versace heels. Her hair cascaded down her back in big barrel curls. Briana looked stunning and the pregnancy gave her skin a glow.
Persia wore an olive green dress and nude red bottoms & I wore a black dress with black red bottoms. We were all dressed to the nines and ready for Briana’s party. Of course she didn’t know what we were doing. She just thought we were going to dinner. The limo arrived and I quickly ended the call with Turk. We stepped in and Briana immediately started crying.
“What’s wrong Briana? Bestie you’re looking gorgeous please don’t ruin your makeup,” she said as she grabbed a couple of napkins out her purse and gently patted Briana’s face with them.
“Y’all, Adonis hasn’t called me all day to say happy birthday or anything. What If he forgot or something.”
“Briana, I’m sure he didn’t forget. The men all stayed out and drank for hours last night. He is probably hung over,” I said.
“Right Bri, don’t trip ok! He wouldn’t forget his loves birthday.” Persia cosigned.
“Y’all are right, I’m tripping. I need to relax.”
BRIANA
I was feeling down because Adonis hadn’t text or called me all day. He and the guys did stay out all night last night so I was giving him the benefit of the doubt. But it still hurt because I thought that’s why we were here. I didn’t want to be a crybaby so I wiped my tears away and waited till we got back to the house. Stacks didn’t stay to far from where we were so the ride didn’t take long at all.
“We all look beautiful,” I said trying to change the mood as we pulled into the gates.
“Here Bri, put this on.” Persia said as she pulled my hair away from my face. She gave me a blindfold and I wasted no time. I love surprises. The limo came to a halt and the door opened seconds after.
“Ok Bri, your ass have on heels so please get out slowly!” Miracle yelled. I laughed because my ass was trying to haul ass out of there. I wanted to know why I was being blindfolded. I stumbled a little out of the car and was guided up a couple of steps. I could hear the water fountain so I’m sure it was the steps to the front door.
“Ok Bri, we got you just keep walking.” Persia said as she giggled.
“Y’all are killing me! Can I just take it off?”
“NO!” Miracle laughed. I heard a door open and then they let my arms go. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. My heart was beating out of my chest.
“Take the blindfold off boo,” Miracle yelled. I slowly took it off and opened my eyes.
“SURPRISE!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRIANA!” Everyone yelled. I looked over and saw Adonis smirking at me looking so damn sexy. He basically matched what I had on. He had on a Versace t-shirt with white baggy jeans that sagged off his ass a little with the Versace sneakers that matched my heels. The haircut he had gotten was the icing on the cake. He walked up to me and kissed me passionately as he held me in his arms. I was overfilled with emotion. I pushed him away playfully as I began to cry.
“Ugh baby, I thought you forgot.” I said wiping my tears away.
“You really think I would forget your fuckin birthday B? Come on ma, you know daddy better than that,” he said as he kissed me again.
“Thank you so much baby, you brought your whole family out here,” I said as I looked at everyone. This party was packed, everyone danced on and stacks was on the grill. Maxwell’s-Ascension blasted through the speakers as all the old heads danced together and laughed. All of the kids played and ran around the house. By the grill sat a table filled with every snack you could think of. In the middle of it sat what I’m guessing was my birthday cake. Adonis took my hand and introduced me to all of his family members that I had never met. They told us how much of a beautiful couple we were and congratulated us on the pregnancy. I stood beside my baby and admired him as he spoke so highly of me. He often would bring my hand up to his lips as he stared at me. I was so blessed
to have a man like him in my life. I knew he would go all out but I didn’t expect for it to be this extravagant.
“Thank you so much baby, this is all so beautiful,” I whispered in his ear.
“You are my queen ma, you deserve everything I give you! Now go and enjoy yourself,” he said as he palmed my ass and tongued me down in front of everyone. I wiped his bottom lip and smiled before I walked away to find Persia and Miracle.
ADONIS
Seeing the smile on my girls face was pure satisfaction. I had to ignore her ass today or else I was liable to slip up and tell her what I was doing for her. I walked over to pops and thanked him for letting me throw this party at his crib. I was forever thankful to him and the family for showing up and showing out. They all welcomed Briana into the family with open arms. Which made everything for me that much easier. “That’s a beautiful woman you have their son, she is smart too! Ain’t nothing like an intelligent woman with looks to match. You lucked up with that one son. I’m proud of you my boy.” He said as he patted me on the back. I smiled and searched through the crowd looking for her. I spotted her and watched her as Ramses and Turk walked over.
“Damn nigga she okay, chill out.” Turk laughed as he handed me a glass of Moscato. I laughed at him but I definitely wasn’t about to stop watching her. That was something I will never be able to stop doing until god decided to call me home.
“Yo, you went all out with this mothafucka.” Ramses said.
“Thanks bruh, she deserved it. She done changed a nigga for the better, she done touched places of my heart I didn’t know I had,” I said honestly.
“We all proud of you nigga, I see the change, trust and believe that. We all lucked up,” Ramses spoke honestly.
“I’m proud of all of my boys, I never thought I would be throwing a party at my house for a woman that Adonis is serious about. I’ve seen a dramatic change within you boys and I’m honestly proud of all of you. God sent you these women for a reason, stick by them and lead them. Remember what I always say…A woman will always submit to a man who is a leader. If she ain’t following you, check your map because you not going anywhere. Don’t give up on these women and they won’t give up on you.” Stacks said as he eyed all of us.
