New Years Eve

After Christmas, my mother came to Detroit. I really had no choice but to let my brothers and sister go back with her. I really couldn't take care as I thought I could, they realized it too. I promised them that they could come back for spring break and for some of the summer. I actually cried when they left, oh well it was all for the best.

It was New Years Ever and the guys went out that day. Bobby and Angel went to only god knows where. Jerry took the girls, Jack and Weston out to some play place. It was just the women Sofi, Nikki, Camille, and I.

We decided to have a spa type day. Camille brought over some facial masks, pedicure and manicure kits, and some other things.

"What about this color?" Nikki handed me a bright pink nail polish.

"Hum, maybe for my toes." I took the nail polish from her.

"Sofi you have to tie your hair back." Camille was smearing the brown facial cream on Sofi's face.

"Alright, alright, this stuff smells bad." Sofi tied her hair back.

"It's mud Sofi." I laughed.

"What! Why are you putting mud on my precious face!"

"Madison don't tell her that. Sofi it's a facial mask, it's not mud." Camille reassured her.

"Oh, fine."

"Come closer." Nikki motioned me to her.

I scotched forward and stuck my foot in her face. "Don't worry I washed them."

"Gross get your foot out of my face." Nikki pushed my foot away.

"Here, use this color." I handed her a dark purple.

"Give me your foot."

I placed my foot in her hand, "So Camille isn't your anniversary coming up?"

"Yeah officially ten years January 10th." Camille smiled.

"You've been married for that long?" Sofi asked.

"Yeah time flies."

"I've been dating Angel for 3 years."

"Three years, and no ring yet. Damn Sofi." I shook my head.

"What's that suppose to mean?"

"Nothing I'm just shocked that's all."

"Why because Angel and I have such a strong relationship, we don't need to get married."

"Oh ok I understand why now."

"What!" Sofi went to get up.

"Stop it, come on it's suppose to be a girls day today." Camille pulled her down.

"Fine." Sofi sat down.

After our little Spa hour, we went into the kitchen for something to eat. I opened the fridge and got some beer and Mikes.

"So how did you and Bobby meet? I never heard the full story." Camille asked.

"Oh actually I met him at my old job, I was a bartender he came in a couple of times." I replied.

"Sounds like Bobby, always looking for trouble somewhere."

"Well then one night after leaving I ran into my old b/f Chris. He kind of tried to get back with me, but I refused and all I knew is that I woke up in the hospital." I tried to hold back tears.

"Oh girl." Camille touched my arm.

"Yeah well Bobby was there and asked if I was alright. Then I found him again like a week or so later and the rest is history." I took a swig of my drink.

"Oh well glad to have you then, Sofi tell them how you met Angel."

"Ok." Sofi smiled. "I was in Dunkin Donuts with some of my friends. It was about two in the morning. This gorgeous man comes walking in, my friends and I couldn't help but stare. That night Angel and I went back to my place. Then here are today three years later. When he went into the service I wrote him everyday." Sofi smiled.

"Oh how nice." I smiled.

"How about you Camille, how did you meet Jerry?" Nikki asked

"I met Evelyn first at a supermarket. We talked a bit and she invited me to dinner. She told me that I had to meet her lovely son Jerry. Of course I went and I met him. I thought he was really dorky when I met him, but after two years he proposed and I said yes. Here we are today with two beautiful daughters." Camille smiled.

"Aw." We all looked at Camille.

Later on that day the Jerry and Jack came back with Weston and the girls.

"Hi." Jerry walked in and kissed Camille.

"Mommy, look what I got!" Amelia held up a princess crown.

"Wow, where did you get this?" Camille looked at Jerry.

"We won it."

"Oh really, I like it sweetie."

"Mommy, look what Weston got." Weston handed Camille a teddy bear.

"Aw, that's cute. Why don't you go show your mommy."

Weston walked over towards Nikki. "What you got?" Nikki looked at the bear.

"Aw did Jack win this for you?"

Weston nodded and pointed towards Jack.

"Yeah it took us a couple times to get it." Jack smiled.

"What do you say to Jack Weston?"

"Thank You." Weston walked over to Jack and hugged his leg.

"Your welcome, come here." Jack lifted him up.

Sofi and I sat back and smiled.

"There both the greatest families." I smiled.

"Yeah, they are." Sofi sounded upset.

"What's wrong Sofi?"

"Nothing, come on we have to get things ready for later tonight."

Later that night the children were put to bed, and the adults sat around down stairs waiting for midnight. Bobby and Angel came back around 10:00, Angel had a sort of suspicious look on his face.

"Hi baby." Sofi walked over and hugged him.

"Hey Sofi." He kissed her forehead.

"What's up with Angel?" I asked Bobby.

"Nothing come on." Bobby took my hand and we sat on the couch.

Finally midnight came and the ball dropped. We held our glasses up and said "Happy New Year!" We walked around and kissed everyone on the cheek.

"Happy New Year Mr. Mercer." I laughed and kissed Bobby.

"Oh my god Angel!"

I looked over to see Angel on one knee proposing to Sofi.

"Sofi, baby I love you so much. We have been through so much together, and now I want you to be mine forever." He grabbed her hand. "Will you marry me?"

Sofi choked in between tears, "Yes."

We all clapped, it was about time those two got together.

The rest of the night we gawked over Sofi's ring, it was gorgeous. I was honestly a little jealous of her, but hey she deserved it.
