Ivory Whitaker | Memo😝

"What did you want to be when you was little?" I asked Zay as he rubbed my stomach under the table.

"You know little kids always say they wanted to be an astronaut or the president? Not me. I wanted to be a turtle." He said making me look up at him.

"Stop playing." I laughed.

"For real, you know the show Franklin? I use to watch that and tell my mother I wanted to be like Franklin when I grow up." He smiled reminiscing.

"You are so freaking weird."

"What did you wanna be?"

"A singer." I shrugged.

"You still can be."

"No I wanna be a dentist now."

"I believe in you."

"Thank you, I would tell you the same but I don't think I should encourage you to try to be an turtle."

"Shut up." He said laughing. I saw Josiah pass our table and my eyes followed him. "You gotta tell him Boo."

"I know, imma tell him right after I tell my parents."

"And when is that?"

"I don't know." I sighed.

"Boo you bout to be four months, you can't go that long without telling them."

"Can't I tell them when I'm about to give birth?" I asked.

"No punk ass." He laughed. "I know what I want for my birthday tho."

"What?"

"For you to tell them."

"How about I tell them when I get to my fourth month?"

"I'm fine with that, as long as you tell them."

"Can you be there when I tell them?"

"I don't know about that one."

"Why not? You'll help me get through it."

"If you really want me then I will be there."

"Good, now what do you want to do for your birthday?"

"I usually just go out to eat with my brothers, I don't really care for my birthday."

"Everyone cares for their birthday." I frowned.

"Not me, I've never had an eventful birthday. My brothers try and I'm beyond grateful for that but they never did anything exciting."

"Tomorrow, I will make you have fun." I smiled already thinking about it.

"You can try but even if you fail, I'll still tell you you did good."

"I can't stand you." I laughed.

"Royalty's here!" Mulan yelled squatting down by my stomach. "Hi aunties baby, you feeling okay today?"

"Bitch move before you make it obvious." I glared at her.

After going to the doctor, she confirmed I was 7 weeks pregnant. A wave of emotions flooded through me when I heard those words but Zay and Mulan have been by my side. Zay, Mulan and all his brothers are the only people who knew.

I felt so guilty not telling Jaylen or Avery because we have never kept anything from each other, this was literally killing me not letting one of them know.

"Don't curse around aunty baby." She rubbed my stomach again and than sat across from me. "So Zay Imma be at your house tomorrow."

"Uh, for what?"

"To meet my man in person." She smiled as I rolled my eyes.

"Who?"

"She swear Zayden her boyfriend." I said.

"He liked my picture on instagram the other day, we're basically in a relationship."

"How did you find his instgram?" Zay asked.

"Long story short I stalked your instagram until I saw his and boom the beginning of our relationship."

"She said and boom." I started laughing.

"I'll let him know you coming." He said

"No I want it to be a surprise when I show up and ride his face." She said.

"I'm telling my brother." I said scrunching my face up.

"And imma tell him your little secret."

"Dumb bitch."

"Your momma and watch your mouth around my baby"

"Y'all annoying." Zay laughed.

"Shut up." We said in unison.

******************

"I thought you was playing, why are you here?!" I said to Mulan once she got in my car.

"No bitch I need to meet my side nigga for when Jaylen in college." She said fluffing her weave out.

"You ain't shit."

"Glad we both know." She blew a kiss at me.

"Make sure I got all his gifts." She looked back and checked the bags,

"Lemme claim one of your gifts." She said.

"No."

"Please? I'll claim the cheapest thing."

"Aight claim the CD's."

"Fine with me." She plugged her phone in the aux cord playing Rihanna x Desperado.

When we got there I walked through the door since it was already open seeing all the boys sitting on the couch and Mulan fixed her hair again and FaceTime'd Remy.

"Y'all get on my nerves." I laughed.

"Cho ass up." Remy said. "Bitch flip the camera, I don't wanna see your ugly ass."

"Wassup y'all? Where's Zay?"

"Sleep." Zayyir said in a duh tone so I pulled his dreads.

"Yo you look familiar." Zayden told Mulan.

"I better look familiar, I'm your girl." She said.

"Stop Mulan." I laughed.

"How old are you?"

"16."

"A get off me." Zaydrien said laughing.

"I'm worth the charge." She shrugged.

I just laughed, she is so outspoken yo.

"Lemme know when you ain't jail bait babygirl."

"Bihh you heard that?" She asked Remy. "Jaylen who?"

"Anyways, go get pots and tops." I told them.

"Happy birthday to ya, happy birthday to ya. Happy biiiiirthday." We all shouted, Zay groaned and threw a pillow which hit me.

"Ow." I said dropping the balloons. The hell was in that pillow?

"My bad, you good?" He sat up and I nodded.

"Remixxxx." Mulan yelled.

"Go, go, go, go, go shawty it's your birthday. We gon party like it's your birthday, we gon sip Bacardi like it's your birthday." They all yelled.

"And we don't give a fuck if it's not your birthday." Mulan said as they all started laughing.

"Y'all are so stupid, why couldn't y'all stick with the regular version?"

"Because we black." Zayyir said.

"Y'all annoy me, come open gifts." I told Zay.

"Damn can I brush my teeth first?"

"You should, I wasn't going to say nothing butt...." Mulan said.

"Y'all so annoying, get out."

"Y'all got everything?" I asked.

"Yeah, everything good." Zaydrien said.

"Alright so-"

"We got it Memo." Zayden said.

"Alright, I'm ready."

"I'll go first." Mulan said handing him the bag which contained Lil Uzi, Kevin Gates, Kodak black, Chance the rapper and Young Thug mixtapes.

"Oh shit, thanks Mulan." He hugged her.

"Memo helped me a bit but you welcome lilbro." She said winking at me as I scoffed.

"I'm older than you."

"Anyways, go head Memo."

"Alright here." I handed him the footlocker and game stop bag. "See if you could fit them, I had to guess your size."

"You know what they say about a man with big feet." Mulan whispered in my ear making me laugh.

"Yeah they fit perfectly." Zay said admiring the black Yeezy boost 350 on his feet.

"Open the game stop bag nigga." Zayyir said. Zay mugged him and opened the bag which had Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare and Halo Wars 2.

"Lil sus that game ain't even come out yet, how you get that?" Zaydrien asked.

"I got connections." I smirked while Zay opened the Polo Ralph Lauren fragrances.

"Thanks Memo, shit mean a lot to me." Zay hugged me and kissed me on my forehead.

"We not done yet. This is your last gift." I handed him the Cartier bag.

"What's this?" Zay asked looking at me.

"Nigga open it." Zayden said.

I watched him open the box in the bag while Mulan recorded his reaction. He slowly opened the box and his mouth dropped open. It was a 16 caret diamond encrusted presidential Rolex, he held it and just observed it.

"That ain't a Rolex." Zayyir said walking towards him as did the all the boys.

"Damn it Memo fuck you." Zaydrien said.

"What I do?" I laughed.

"How the hell my gift suppose to top that?" He asked.

"Nah this too expensive, I can't take this from you." Zay said putting the watch back in the box.

"Zayn JaKobie Green if you don't take that damn watch! You deserve it honestly, if you don't take this I'm going to cry."

"Please take that damn watch you know she be ugly as hell when she cry." Mulan said as I flipped her off.

"C'mere Boo." Zay said. I stood up and sat on his lap as he wrapped his arms around my neck and I laid my head on his chest. "Thank you, I love you for this and not just because the watch."

I looked up at him with a smile on my face, this was the first time he told me he loved me and I don't think he even noticed he said it.

"I love you too." He smiled kissing my forehead.

"She the realest yo." Zaydrien said.

"Shittt my birthday in August, wassup Memo?" Zayden said.

"I got you baby." Mulan smirked.

She literally has no chill.

**************

"Ivory I don't want this on my fucking face." Zay said trying to take the blindfold off.

"Stop, let's sing in the car like they do on movies." I said plugging my phone in the aux cord turning on Maroon 5 x She will be loved.

"Really?"

"Yes sing with me like Miley and Liam did in the Last Song."

"And she willllllllll be loveddd." I sung, he sighed making me laugh.

"And she willll" He yelled making me laugh.

"Yes sing Kitty."

"And she willlllll be loveddd." He said louder as I recorded him laughing,

The uber stopped at the Karaoke bar and I thanked him grabbing Zay hand leading him in the place. I walked in and the lights was on and nobody was paying attention, I frowned.

Black people can never do anything right.

"Can I take my blindfold off now?" That made everybody look at me and I frowned.

"Sure."

"HAPPPY BIRTHDAY!" They yelled making Zay jump.

"Oh shit thank y'all." Zay smiled hugging whoever came to him.

"You shining boyyy." Avery said looking at his wrist.

"That's all your sister." Zay said wrapping his arm around my waist.

"Y'all so cute." Avery thot for the day said.

"Thank you." We said at the same time. Zay and I was just friends but people always assumed we were a couple so we just stopped correcting them.

"Jaylen come meet my new nigga ima have when you leave for college." Mulan said grabbing his hand pulling him away.

"Yo wassup with her?" Zay asked laughing.

"You get used to it." Avery shrugged walking away.

"You did this by yourself?"

"No your brothers and my uncles helped."

"Where they at?"

"Around somewhere." I said looking around.

"I probably said thank you like 50 times already but imma say it again, I'm really thankful for you Memo."

"This is only the beginning. The surprises don't stop." I said.

"What does-"

"Happy birthday brah." Josiah cut him off.

"Goodlooks, thanks for coming." They did they little hug or whatever while Josiah girlfriend was just looking at me and I was looking back at her.

"I'm Angela, your really pretty and glowing." She smiled. She was actually really pretty, she was like a black barbie doll. She reminded me of Ashley from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

"Hi, I'm Ivory and thank you, so are you." I smiled back.

"Wassup Ivy."

"Hey Jo." He hugged me.

"We'll see y'all around." Josiah said before walking away with Angela.

"That's good, y'all being cordial."

"Yeah but I have a surprise for you." I smiled as he groaned.

"What else?"

"Walk to the bar and ask for a New York big blue." I told him. He looked at me weird going to the bar to do as said.

"You showing him now?" Daddy asked.

"Yes, thank you for all you doing for him." I hugged him.

"I know what it felt like not knowing when your next meal is coming. I didn't grow up like your mother or even you but that's why I make sure you never have to want for anything or your brothers. My hard work is for y'all and Alyssa and my grandchild." I spit out my drink.

"What?" I asked wiping my mouth.

"Come on Ivory, I have three kids. I could tell when something going on with y'all. You wouldn't think I noticed you throwing away all your clothes or eating more?"

"How long have you known?"

"For two weeks."

"And your not mad?"

"I was pissed the fuck off, I was about to disown you but I'm not perfect, nobody is. I wished you could of waited but I'll never judge for making a mistake."

"I love you daddy." I hugged him.

"I love you more but you need to tell your brothers and mother."

"Tomorrow." I nodded my head.

"There go your surprise." Daddy said pointing. I walked towards Zay recording.

"Can I have a New York big blue?" He asked the bartender.

"Y'know that should really be a drink." Victor said.

"For real, I'll call mine Odell big blue." Odell said.

"No the fuck she didn't." Zay slowly turned around and his eyes got big and he jumped up and down.

"Happy birthday." Odell smiled. I almost forgot it was Zay birthday for a minute, his smile is so perfect.

"Yo Ivory I swear to God I love you."

Odell Beckham Jr. and Victor Cruz are Zay favorite football players and uncle Iyan use to be their physical therapist so I asked him to do me a favor and now their here.

"So you Ivory?" Odell raised an eyebrow smiling.

"Y-yeah that's me." I stuttered, feeling her get happy down there.

"Bitches love Odell." Avery said behind me making us laugh.

"She a real one keep her." Victor said.

"I got her." Zay put his arm over my shoulder.

"Alright let's sing happy birthday, the REAL version." I said as Zayyir groaned.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you." They sung as Uncle Ike rolled out his cake.

"How old are you now?"

"3 hunna." Mason yelled before he can making everybody laugh.

"Bang, bang." JJ said.

"How old are you now?" They asked again.

"90." Mason yelled again while him and JJ laughed.

"How ooolld are you nowww?"

"Older than a motherfucka." JJ yelled.

They play so much

"Happy birthday to you." They sung.

"Make a wish." Zay paused and than blew out his candles as everybody cheered.

"Oh shit look Memo." Uncle Mace said. I looked at him and he mushed cake into my face.

"Oh my God." I jumped up and down about to cry.

"I got you Memo." Jaylen said digging into the cake and throwing it. Uncle Mace ducked and it hit Aunt Ahjaya who wasn't even paying attention.

"WHO DID IT?! FIGHT ME! FIGHT ME!" She yelled throwing up her guard.

"Bitch shut up." Ma said hrowing cake at her.

And this what started the cake fight.

Zay pulled me and we went into a corner while hiding out from all the cake being thrown.

"Are you having fun?"

"Yeah, you really outdid yourself. You made me enjoy my birthday for once."

"I told you but it wasn't all me. Your brothers did a lot."

"Thank you Memo, for real." He looked down at me and we stayed in silence just looking in each other eyes.

"What did you wish for?"

"Courage." I knitted my eyebrows.

"For what?"

"So I can do this." He cupped my face and kissed me.

"NEXT BITCH THAT THROW CAKE AT ME, I'M CUTTING THEIR ASS!" I heard Aubree yell.

"Bitch eat this." Mace said. I'm guessing he threw cake at her as I heard a buzzing noise, it sounded like somebody dropped, some yelling and people running.

"That just really ruined the mood." I laughed licking my lips.

"It didn't." He said before he kissed me again.

Happy birthday to us😏
