Ivory Whitaker | Memo

"Aspen!" I yelled aggravated hearing her footsteps run into the room.

"I no did it." She said putting on her puppy dogs eyes.

"You didn't do what?"

"I no put lotion on bed."

"I didn't even blame, you that's how I know you guilty." I laughed making her giggle.

"I sorry." She hugged my leg.

"It's okay baby."

"So damn sad, I though Josiah had it bad but all she gotta do is say sorry and you forget everything." Nyasia said making me laugh.

"I can't help it, she's so pretty." I laughed looking at her still hugging my leg.

"She bad as hell, that's what the hell she is." Remy said passing my room.

"Call Zay?" Aspen asked.

"He's busy baby." 

"Call daddy?"

"He's at the gym."

"Call pawpaw?" 

"He's in the hospital baby."

"Pawpaw hurt?" She curling her lip.

"No baby, he just wasn't feeling okay."

"Call Moo?" 

"Isn't she in the livingroom?" I asked.

"I dunno know." She shrugged.

"Let's go see." I picked her up.

"HAPPPPY BIRTHDAY!" They yelled scaring me.

"Happy birthday mommy." Aspen giggled grabbing my face kissing me.

Mulan, Remy, Nyasia, Journee, Jade, Tay and Avery was standing in the livingroom holding a banner that said happy 21 making me smile.

"Thank y'all." I laughed.

"Bitch you twenty fucking one. All we gotta do is wait until March and we'll turn up." Mulan said twerking.

"You're annoying, you spoke to Zay?" Remy asked.

"I haven't spoken to him in two days." I frowned. "I'm getting used to it, I just thought he'll call."

"You know he could if he would Memo."

"I know I'm just tired of missing him and him missing things. He missed Thanksgiving, Christmas, Aspen turning 3, my birthday. I just want him here."

"It's going on 9 months right?" Avery asked.

"Yeah." I sighed then smiled seeing he was calling.

"Must be him." Journee laughed.

"Hello?" I answered the FaceTime going in the room.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you." Him and a few soldiers sung making me laugh.

"Thank you guys." I laughed watching him get up so we could talk in private.

"Where are you now?" I asked him.

"I'm in Denmark, baby it's so beautiful. We gotta go for our honeymoon or some shit." He shook his head.

"That's where Beyonce is, if you really loved me you'll get her to say happy birthday to me." I joked watching him laugh.

"Damn I thought me calling you would be enough."

"Oh I love you but you ain't topping Queen Bey." I laughed waving him off.

"Where your ring?" 

"On the dresser."

"Why it's not on?"

"Because I don't sleep with my ring on Zayn. I just woke up like thirty minutes to yell at Aspen, don't start."

"I bought that expensive ass ring so you could wear it, lemme find out you not wearing it when you go out."

"Zayn I hear you talking but I'm not listening, you're getting me annoyed. I'm in the house, you know I lose shit. You'd rather me not wear it or lose the shit?" I asked getting annoyed.

"Ivory who you talking to?"

"You damn, you're annoying as fuck." I rolled my eyes.

"Hang up then."

"You know I'm not going to do that, I haven't spoken to you in two days." 

"Exactly so shut your fine ass up." He smiled.

"Whatever."

"Zay?" Aspen asked coming in the room making me roll my eyes.

"Aspyyy!" Zay said making her squeal in excitement trying to get on the bed. "You see her struggling, pick her up." He laughed.

"Hi Zay, it's my mommy birthday." 

"I know, mommy getting old."

"I miss Zay." She looked at me pouting like she was going to cry.

"Don't start Aspen." I turned my head trying not to cry myself.

"Both of y'all don't start." He laughed. "Aspy one more month and I'm all yours."

"Tomorrow?"

"More like thirty tomorrows baby." I answered.

"Mommy sad." She pouted wiping my face.

"Yeah because mommy misses Zay."

"I miss Zay too, Zay I three." She held up two fingers on one hand and one finger on the other one.

"Why she do her fingers like that?" He asked laughing.

"Avery dumbas- self told her that's how you do it." I rolled my eyes.

"Aspen Aviana Walker!" Josiah yelled walking in the room.

"You got to be loud?" I asked rolling my eyes.

"Daddy!" Aspen stood up on the bed as he twirled her around.

"Shut up mad ass, you 21 and still grouchy." He laughed smacking my head then grabbing my phone. "Wassup boy? They treating you good in the field?"

"Yeah this shit change my perspective on a lot of shit. I called ya jack the other day though."

"I changed my number, imma text you on the new one." 

"Y'all act like y'all best friends." I rolled my eyes taking my phone back.

"You mad I got yo man?" Josiah asked in a girl voice and they both busted out laughing.

"I got yo baby daddy and you mad?" Zay mocked him.

"Y'all really corny." I laughed.

"Green 15:00." One of the sergeants.

"I could have a few? I'm saying happy birthday." Zay asked him.

"3 and then let's go."

"Thank you."

"Say see you later to Zay Aspy." Josiah said putting her in the camera.

"I see you thirty tomorrows, I love you Zay." She blew a kiss in the camera.

"Thirty tomorrows, I love you more Aspy." He blew the kiss back and laughed.

"You got a family to come back to, be safe out there. Love you my nigga." Jo said.

"Love you too five, don't forget to text me ya new number." 

"Gotchu." He walked out with Aspen closing my door.

"I love you Kitty." .

"I love you more Boo."

"I love you." I repeated.

"I love you too."

"I love you Zay." 

"I love you more Memo." He laughed.

"Zay." One of the solders called.

"I gotta go okay baby? I love you so much, happy birthday baby."

"I'll see you in thirty tomorrows." We laughed. "I love you more." 

"Thirty tomorrows." He said before he hung up making me sigh and lay back down.

"Hi papa." I smiled going in the hospital room.

"What you doing here? Ain't it your birthday?"

"Yes but you're more important to me than a birthday." I hugged him and he coughed.

"Don't be trying to butter me up." He laughed.

"Papa how you feeling?"

"I'm good Memo, I'm just getting old. I'll be okay."

"Is the lupus messing with you?"

"I have my days."

"PawPaw I got you candy." Aspen said coming in the room with Remy, Mulan and Nyasia.

"Candy? I love candy baby girl." He said excitedly reaching for her.

"Mommy say you not feeling okay, candy makes me jump around and happy. Candy make you happy so we can go home and play dressup." She smiled putting a starburst in his mouth.

"Aspen that's nasty, your hands isn't clean and you too big to be on papa." I said trying to get her but he stopped me.

"She's fine, I'm fine. We're fine Memo." He laughed.

"So papa when you get out?" Nyasia asked.

"Maybe next week, they testing me for the okay. You been keeping my knucklehead out of trouble?"

"Avery has his days but yeah he's been fine." She smiled.

"What about you? Joshua make you happy?" Tac asked looking at Remy.

"No and then yes and then no." She rolled her eyes texting then giving her attention to him.

"Look at that smile, you love him." He said making us laugh.

"I never denied that." She smiled.

"I'm not even going to get on you." He shook his head at Mulan making all of us laugh.

"What I do?" She asked.

"Yuh too foofool." Tac said in a Jamaican accent making her roll her eyes.

Tac spent two months in Jamaican and he came back swearing up and down he was meant to be from the islands.

"How am I foolish?" Mulan asked laughing.

"Cause you so confused, you don't know if you want Jay or Zay"

"I'm with Zay." She rolled her eyes.

"Please don't call Zayden Zay, that's my nigga name." I said looking at them.

"Yuh need ti comb yuh picky picky head." He said grabbing my hair.

"Ooh Tac you tried it, my hair isn't nappy. It's curly." I smacked his hand away.

"That's what y'all can it now?" He asked laughing to his self.

"Yeah alright Poppa." Remy laughed.

"Baby girl I can't give you anything right now but Imma take you out next week so you better prepare to turn up." He did a little dance making me laugh.

"That go to all of us right?" Remy said.

"No he said me, y'all always tryna take my papa from me." I pouted.

"I'm his favorite anyway." Mulan smiled.

"Says who? He doesn't even like you." Remy said.

"We'll just ask, who your favorite papa?" I asked.

"Nyasia." He said and we all smacked our teeth.

"You don't even know her." Remy rolled her eyes.

"She doesn't ask for anything, she's never in trouble, she keeps my nephew out of trouble. I have enough reasons." He smiled.

"I gave you your first great grandchild and I paid for your trip to Jamaica!" I looked at him.

"Exactly you made him a great grandfather this young and you're throwing your money in his face. Seems selfish to me." Mulan said.

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

"I'm playing, I love y'all equally. Y'all four are my favorites." He smiled.

"I'll take it." I laughed.

"PawPaw I favorite?" She asked looking up from her YouTube show.

"You're my all time favorite princess." He squeezed her cheek.

"Mommy daddy call."

"Answer."

"Hello? We with PawPaw. Mommy daddy said you stinky." She laughed waving her hand in front of her nose.

"Tell your father to grow up."

"Daddy that's mean." She gasped then laughed.

"Give me my phone." I hung up.

"Papa you sleepy?" Nyasia asked.

"Yeah they gave me some shit, I'm bout to be dreaming about some bad bitc-"

"Papa! Aspen!" I said laughing.

"Oh my bad." He laughed.

"Mi a leff, inna di morrows." I said making him smile.

"Likkle more, one love." He turned giving us hugs and playing with Aspen.

"We love you more papa." Remy said as she grabbed Aspen.

"See you later papa." Nyasia said as we walked out.

"I love pawpaw." Aspen said laying her head on Remy.

"Us to." We laughed.

"Memo shut up." Remy laughed.

"No bitch didn't I just say nobody can't tell me nothing? I'm twenty fucking one! Let me show y'all how my ass work." I stood up twerking.

"Okay Memo, lemme get some dollars." Journee said digging in her bag before I felt a whole bunch of money hit me.

"Ayeee." Nyasia said flicking money on me.

"Get that shit Memo, tell them you ain't come to playyyy." Mulan dragged out making me laugh and go harder.

"I should buy one of those money gun shits." Remy said throwing money.

"Why y'all playing with y'all rent money?" Avery asked sitting down.

"Cause I'm twenty mother fucking one!" I stuck my tongue out going to my split.

"The hell I walk into?" Raphael asked sitting down.

"Memo our own little drunk stripper." Nyasia said.

"She come with lap dances?"

"She ain't free." Remy laughed.

"Shit I'm paying hundredddss." He dragged out pulling out a wad of hundreds.

"Ayeee." I got up and started twerking in front of him laughing.

"Oh shit, oh shit." Mulan clapped encouraging me.

"Aye ligh." Remy started making beats.

"Hella money on this floor." Avery said stuffing some in his pockets.

"Broke bitch." Mulan laughed and I sat down drinking my Amsterdam.

"What you got to say to Insta?" Remy asked with the camera in my face.

"Y'all corny ass bitches, y'all wild and boring. On January 16 a queen was born." I rapped into the camera then drunk straight out the bottle.

"Okayy suh." Nyasia said laughing.

"This my shit!!!" I stood up holding my heart singing to Boyz II Men x I'll Make Love To You.

"I'LL MAKE LOVE TO YOU, LIKE YOU WANT ME TO!" We all yelled once the part came on.

"Memo go check on the curry goat and the jerk chicken." Mulan said taking pictures.

"I almost forgot." I laughed as I went in the kitchen and they turned the music up singing as the song changed to Ed Sheeran x Thinking Out Loud.

"Darling I will be loving you till we're 70 and baby my heart could still fall as hard as 23." I sung checking on the jerk chicken in the oven.

"Who turned the music off?" I yelled.

"Mommy!" Aspen said.

"Aspen don't come over here, it's hot."

"Mommy look what I made."

"Aspen wait one second baby." I took out the chicken.

"Mommy do you see it?" She asked making me roll my eyes, she was so impatient.

"Aspy I-" I held my face as my eyes watered.

"Me I fall in love with you ever single day, and I just wanna tell you I am." Zay said holding Aspen.

I fell to my knees covering my mouth crying as I looked at him holding Aspen, he laughed and walked towards me getting on his knees hugging me as did Aspen.

"Mommy thirty tomorrows went by quickly." She said as he let her down. We laughed and then I jumped on Zay and we both fell on the floor and I held him tight.

"Awwww." Remy said.

"I missed you." I cried in his neck.

"I missed you more baby." He laughed holding me tighter.

"How did you get here so fast?" I asked.

"I been in Atlanta since yesterday, I got tired of missing things." He smirked.

"I missed you so much." I kissed him three times then got up.

"I miss you too." He laughed.

"I hope you know you're not seeing sunlight for two weeks." I told him hugging him.

"I'm all yours." He kissed my temple.
