Whew! Where do I even start? This birthday has been nothing short of amazing. I love the fact that Cameron actually pays attention and listen to me. I mention Vegas once and he heard me. He took me to poundtown and I took him throat central! I definitely gotta go ten times harder in July for his birthday, because baby he set the bar high! Baby brought me to Vegas, the Four Seasons, and I was gifted a gift everyday until my actual birthday? It's a man.

We were currently on the way to the airfield and I'm so ready to get in this bed. I'm going to sleep the whole way home. I'm tired and my body is sore. I knew I was flexible but shit. I don't remember being a pretzel. I looked over at Cameron and smiled. God really blessed me and I'll forever thank him for that. I grabbed his hand that was on my thigh and intertwined our fingers. He looked over and smirked before bringing our hands to his mouth kissing mine. I shook my head and looked out of the window.

About thirty minutes later we were pulling around to the air wing. Cameron parked and I threw off my seatbelt grabbing a hold to my purse and bookbag that was seating between my legs. I stepped out and pulled my hood on my head walking slowly towards jet. Baby he did a number on me. I took one step at a time as I climbed up. Once making it inside, I threw my bags on the couch and sat in the chair. Soon as Uncle Lewis say we can remove our seat belts, I'm going straight to the back.

A couple minutes later, Cam was making his way inside. I shook my head as he threw his bag off his back and walked to the bathroom. I still don't know how he fucked me with his boot on. I busted out laughing because thats funny. 🤣

"Good Evening, this is your captain speaking. Takeoff will be shortly. Please take a seat and fasten your seatbelts. Please turn off all electronic devices until we're up in the air. It is now 4:34, we will arrive in Dallas at 6:34 in Central time."

I pulled my seatbelt across and laid back into the chair. Cam came out of the bathroom and did the same. It's like my uncle knew because as soon as he sat down, I felt us moving down the runway. He took off and I waited until we were in the air for at least five minutes before removing my seat belt. I stood up getting ready to head to the back.

"Where you going?" Cam grabbed my hand and looked at me.

I pointed towards the back. "To the bed."

"Ooo I'm coming too."

I laughed as he threw his seatbelt off and hopped up. Shaking my head, I walked down the walkway and pushed the door open. I kicked my slides off and pulled the cover back climbing in the bed. Cameron closed the door behind him. He walked to the other side and sat down removing his boot. He climbed and pulled me into him—rubbing his hand up and down my thigh. I looked at him and smiled. Can't believe months ago I actually thought about not giving him a chance. Thinking back, I'm glad I dropped my phone.

"What you thinking about?" I heard Cam say and I looked at him in confusion.

"How you know I'm thanking about some?"

He licked his lips. "I was watching you. You do this thing with your eyebrows when you're deep in thought and then your lips form into a small pout."

I smiled. "I was thinking about me, us. I wasn't going to give you a chance, but I'm glad I listened to my folks."

"Can I ask why?"

I nodded my head and sat up sitting crisscross in front of him. I bit my lip and pulled at my hood strings. "Trauma. I've only been in one relationship my whole 21 years of existing, but that relationship and person honestly traumatized me. I was cheated on and raped."

Cameron closed his eyes and turned his head to the side. I grabbed his hand and played with his fingers. "The way I found out about the cheating was crazy. He was downlow and got exposed on social media. Baby I was hurt! I found out around the time my business was picking up. We broke up and I went into a mild depression and my business started deteriorating. My dealers threaten to throw out our contracts and everything it was bad. So my parents made the decision to shut it down until I was back to myself."

I sighed and looked off to the side. "He got in contact with me one day and was like he wanted to meet up to apologize. I didn't see no harm in that but boy was I wrong. We met up at a restaurant. He talked, I listened and that was that. Before I had the hellcat, I had a Jeep Grand Cherokee. I don't know how but I was forced into the back an—." Cam cut me off.

"You don't have to finish that." He reached his hand up and wiped my face—cuffing it after. Damn. I didn't even realize I was crying. I smiled and leaned into his hand.

"I admire how strong you are mama. I would have never thought you went through that based on your smile and aura." He pulled me into his lap making me straddling him. I leaned down and placed my forehead against his.

I kissed his lips and smiled. "I said the same thing about you and that goes to show no matter how bright ones smile is, there's a story behind it."

I scooted down and laid on his chest. He wrapped his arms around me. My happy place. I closed my eyes and let sleep take over.

I don't know how but when I woke up we was pulling into our driveway. I just know I wasn't that tired. Cameron hit the garage opener and pulled in. Looking over at him, I shook my head and stretched. "You carried me from the plane to that car?"

"Yes and before you say anything about your weight, you're not heavy at all." He pressed the stop button and threw his seatbelt off.

I smacked my lips. "I wasn't."

"Yea right." He gave me a look and climbed out. I rolled my eyes and opened the door stepping out. I pulled my leggings up and walked around to the trunk. He passed me my bookbag, purse, and both duffles.

"Go ahead I got the other stuff."

I nodded my head and pulled my keys out. I unlocked the door and kicked my slides off stepping. I sniffed the air and frowned. That smell like food. I walked around the corner.

"SURPRISE!"

The lights came on and I jumped dropping the bags. I looked around the room and mugged everybody, everybody being my parents, siblings, Bari, and Cam's parents. Where the hell their cars? I placed my hands on hips. "Now what if I would've had my gun?"

Kailani smacked her lips. "Daddy didn't I say that? Crazy ass girl."

My daddy popped her in her mouth and she frowned walking away. I shook my head and picked up the bags—heading for the stairs. I made it up and kicked my room door open—setting the bags by the dresser. I pulled my hoodie off and fixed the straps of my sports bra. I quickly threw my hair into a messy bun. Walking to Cam's side of her dresser, I pull the drawer open and picked up a random shirt. I held it up and seen that it was one of his football shirts that he cut into a crop top. I pulled it over my head and slid some black ankle socks on my feet. I rubbed my lips in vaseline and went back down.

"Hey hey!" I jumped the last step and slipped.

"Oh shit!" Cam caught me. We looked each other in the face and busted out laughing. I released from his grasp and shook my head. I stood in the middle of the floor and looked around.

"Sooooo who's idea was it to throw this lil surprise party?" My daddy pointed behind me and I turned around seeing Cameron standing next to his daddy with a red solo cup in his hand. Lord that better not be no alcohol. He took a sip and winked at me. I blew a kiss and turned back around.

"I smelled food when I walked in. Who cooked?"

"Sasha and I did." My mama said as she was walking out of the kitchen with a plate in her hand. I saw that it was Mexican food and shot to the kitchen. I shook my head that spread that was in front of me. Aww, they love me.

I washed my hands and grabbed a plate—placing two chicken quesadillas on my plate with some nachos. I grabbed a water from the fridge and walked over to the table sitting down. As I was picking up one of my quesadillas, I felt somebody staring at me. I looked up and saw my sisters grinning in my face. I looked between them.

"What? Why y'all being weird?" I frowned and took a bite before dropping it back on my plate.

"Bitch you not low." Kailani smacked her lips and hit the table.

"Your walk is different ma'am." Keria took a sip from her cup and looked over the top.

I rolled my eyes. "I don't know what y'all talking about."

"Bitch stop playing! How was it?" Kai said as she leaned across the table.

I looked around and over my shoulder making sure my daddy was out of earshot. Don't need him looking crazy. I looked back at my sisters as they watched me with anticipation. "Y'all ever been restrained?"

"Bitch! I know you fucking lying." Kai mouth dropped.

"Hell nah! Bitch he tied you up?!" Keria sat her cup down and looked at me in shock.

"Watch y'all fucking mouth!"

We whipped our heads around and saw our daddy scolding us. Looking at us crazy. We turned around. I looked them and nodded my head.

"He used a restraint band. My arms were under my stomach strapped up and my feet were strapped as well. Y'all! I was stuck! A bitch couldn't move." I shook my head as I thought about the past weekend festivities. I thought about the way he held me. The way he touched me, and the way he kissed me. Whew!

About a hour later I was tipsy, borderline drunk. Everybody challenged me to take twenty one shots and to make it interesting, my daddy said he'll give me two hundred and ten dollars for each shot I take. Guess who just pocketed four thousand bucks? This girl. Im currently sitting in Cameron's lap with my head in his chest, eyes closed listening to his heartbeat. He was rubbing his hand up and down my thigh—gripping it occasionally.

"It's a birthday, I wonder for whom? It must be for somebody right in this room. So look all around you for somebody who is smiling and happy, my goodness, it's you!"

I popped my eyes open seeing everybody with their phones out. Kai had her camera around her neck and my mama was holding the cake in her hands. I shook my head and smiled. They continued singing.

"Happy Birthday Brielle, from all of us to you! Happy Birthday Brielle, from all of us to you. We congratulate you, and hope all your sweet dreams come true. Happy Birthday Bri, from Mommy, Daddy, and family too ."

I busted out laughing because after the boom boom, because Jabari broke it down like a drum major. I pouted. "Awwww! Y'all love me!"

"Girl you better not start crying. Can everybody get behind the chair so I can take a few pictures please." Kailani directed everybody in to positions. My mama placed the cake in my hand and I sat off to the side so Cam's face could show.

"1..2..3.. say Brielle."

"Brielle!" I cheesed and held the cake up.
