Growth

Omniscient P.O.V

Meech waited patiently on Summer to finish getting dressed. This has been the first weekend that they both didn't have to work or have the kids. With a few things planned for this weekend they decided to have a nice dinner first. Meech knew how long it took Summer to get dressed so he prepared himself and told her the reservation was set for an earlier time than what it really was.

Summer came out of the bathroom moving her head side to side so her freshly done bob could swing.

"You feeling it since you got your hair done huh, Edna?" He let out a laugh since the visual of Edna from 'The Incredibles' was fresh in his mind, as it was one of Kayla's favorite movies that she forces him to watch with her.

"Haha" Summer fake laughed and crossed her arms over her chest "You need to be worrying about why the rest of your beard hasn't grown in yet" She retaliated with a laugh "Now that's funny"

Demetrius stopped laughing "That's how you feel huh?"

"Okay im ready come on" Summer pulled at the end of her skirt in a attempt to pull it down even more before reaching her hand out to pull Demetrius up from the bed. "Come on old man"

Demetrius stood up "Old Man? You're older than me so watch what you say because you gone need me to take care of you when we get old"

Summer hit the light switch as they exited the room and headed to the front door "Here you go again, Demetrius we are only a year apart you be exaggerating that little ass age gap so much"

The couple left out of the house and headed to the restaurant. They were so determined to enjoy the weekend that they both agreed to not using their phones for work, gossip, and anything else with the exception of family emergencies, the kids and music choices.

Upon arriving to the restaurant Meech valeted the car and held Summer's hand as they walked into the entrance. "Reservations for.."

"Mr.Flenory" The host interrupted respectfully with a friendly  smile. "We are ready for you two, please follow me"

Summer felt her suspicion rising as she walked past the main dining room which was occupied by mainly older couples. The lights in the restaurant was dim which made Summer laugh to herself because she knew people were probably having a hard time reading the menu, hence the amount of glasses she see on many faces.

The host stopped at the private seating area and held the door open. Demetrius moved to the side so Summer could go in first. She entered but before she went further into the room she stopped and admired the set up in the room. It was a replica setup of the time he asked her to officially be his girlfriend in Miami. Except this time around the room were some of the happiest moments they've experience thus far.

"Oh my god, this is beautiful" She fanned her eyes attempting to stop her dramatics that would mess up her makeup.

Turning to face Demetrius she hugged him tight "I love it. I should've known you were up to something you were way too calm" Moving back from the hug they approached the table that was set up in the middle of the room.

"Good evening, my name is Javier I will be your personal waiter tonight. Shall we start with a personal picked wine?" He asked while looking at Demetrius who just nodded at his question.

Summer kissed her teeth lowly as the waiter walked away. "Now what do you know about wine? I've never seen you drink it before"

Meech, adjusted his chains and looked up at her "Just because I don't drink it don't mean I don't watch when you drink it and pay attention to which one is your favorite"

Summer "Okay Mr.Flenory" she looked down at her hands before looking back up at him. "You know I talked to your mom yesterday and she started asking me about the engagement again" she paused.

"She been on my ass about it" he spoke up. Having this conversation right now would bring her some relief, since she'd mean to bring it up a few days ago. However life has been too busy and on top of that it's hard to really sit down and have a heart to heart talk when she was in Los Angeles and Demetrius was in Atlanta most of the time.

The waiter came back with two glasses and Summer's favorite wine. She watch as he poured an even amount between both glasses and left the bottle on ice, per her request. She had her glass up and Demetrius did picked his up so they could cheers. "Hmm cheers to Us. Cheers to you Demetrius you've done a lot to make me happy and I'm so grateful for it" Summer kept her little speech to a minimum. Laughing as Demetrius face displayed a disgusting expression something she'd expected.

"That shit nasty as hell" He complained about the wine.

Summer put the glass back to her mouth taking another sip before going back to the conversation they were having. "I feel like..." She stopped talking so she could format the proper words to express herself "I feel like everyone thinks we have to rush just because we have a kid, two houses and more.In which I understand it's like, what's the hold up however I ideally want us" she pointed between the two of them "To take our time it's no need to rush anything. We're locked in of course but let's not rush anything to meet the standards of anyone who is outside of our relationship"

"I'm fine with that. I don't wanna rush anything either, I know you already got some shit saved though" He added and Summer laughed. She had her own pinterest board that she added to every single night filled with ideas and things that flowed creatively through her mind.

Watching as the waiter brought their food out. Summer tilted her head to the side because she didn't even get a menu, since Demetrius already picked everything out for them. Placing her napkin in her lap. Summer did her similar dance she always did when she was about to devour the food in front of her. "Now how did you see my pinterest board ? It's giving stalker" She joked as they both started to dig into their food.

"Nah, You just suck at hiding shit Summer" He laughed not even looking up from his plate.

"Nah you just be snooping around acting like Joe Goldberg"

After the couple left the restaurant they found themselves at someones wedding drunk. It all happened after Summer encouraged Demetrius to try the wine again this time the taste wasn't as bad and the both of them finished off the bottle while having various conversations and enjoying each other's company.

The restaurant allowed them to leave the car in valet as the two walked down the private road seeing a Botanical garden including a private event tent in which they were unaware that someone had closed off for their wedding. When they peaked in the Reception had just ended and the bride and groom were walking down the aisle as music played.

"Oh my god, is that Lil Meech" The bride asked in shock and became even more happier once she seen Summer next to him. "You guys have to come in here, I love you two" She pointed at her maid of honor and demanded that she find them a seat.

After taking multiple pictures with some of the family members and even staff working the wedding the couple was very just down for whatever the night brings to them. After the groom and bride shared their special dances it was a open dance floor for all of the guest. Summer got up grabbing Meech's hand pulling him to the dance floor. She couldn't control her laughter as she attempted to teach him the line dance to Tamia's "Can't Get Enough" She'd even took off her heels so he could clearly see the steps she took.

"Man let me just stop I'm about to break my damn ankles all them twists and turns" He went back to his seat. Summer grabbed her heels and followed him.

"Don't be mad you don't have any rhythm" She teased sitting next to him as she leaned down to put her heels back on.

"How long have you two been together?" A older couple sitting across from them asked.

"Coming up on two long years soon" Summer exaggerated and nudged Demetrius.

The older lady laughed "Ohh you guys are still fresh in" She gave them a huge smile while locking her arm with her husband and resting her head on his shoulder.

"How long have you two been married" Demetrius asked.

"Forty-five long years" Her husband spoke.

"Damnn" Meech and Summer said in unison obviously still drunk from earlier and the open bar at the wedding in which they both took advantage of.

The couple laughed "It seems like a long time but honestly when you're in love and spending every single second together it goes by so fast. I remember having my first child and here I am now at my last child's wedding. It went so fast cherish every moment" The older lady spoke although she was speaking to both of them it felt as if all of her words were directed towards Summer.

"How many kids do you two have if you don't mind me asking?" Demetrius asked.

"We have ten all together, two came from my previous marriage" The older man spoke up which caused Demetrius to to smile and look at Summer. She raised her eyebrows at him "Don't get encouraged at all. The baby making factory is closed! Two and done" She shook her head and moved her index finger left to right.

"There yall are" Nikole's voice got louder as she approached their table. Summer had almost forgotten that she called her to come get them since she knew they would probably continue to drink after leaving the restaurant.

"It was nice talking to you two..." Summer trailed off as she grabbed onto Meech's arm so she could stand up.

"Maurice and Sandra" The older lady finally said their names. "I'm Summer and this is Demetrius" Summer responded.

Sandra looked at the couple with such admiration as if she had known them for a long time "Well Summer and Demetrius, I pray that you two are covered in love and able to experience plenty of years of marriage. Now let me get this old man to the room before he goes to sleep at the table" she laughed

After saying their goodbyes. Summer laughed to herself as Meech reached into his pocket pulling out five hundred dollar bills and putting it into the gift box the bride and groom had before leaving out following Nikole to the car. "What's so funny?" he asked her as he wrapped his arm around her waist.

Summer looked up at him "They sound like us. I hope years from now we can reflect back like that while meeting a younger couple"
