“Oooooh-Weeeee! Aaaaaaah!” This place had it going on, and I was all up in the middle of it. I was here. I was in my very own honeymoon suite. All by myself. A complimentary bottle of Dom Pérignon sat on the black baby grand piano. There was a huge bouquet of beautiful yellow roses, two big, fluffy white Waldorf-Astoria embroidered bathrobes and a beautiful view of New York’s skyline through floor-to-ceiling windows. There was a fully stocked wet bar, a huge garden-style bathtub, marble floors leading to a plush wine-colored carpet and a gigantic bed with silk linens of gold tones and goose feather pillows on which to rest my head.

“I need to call T,” I said to myself. “Tell him it’s on.” I walked toward the phone, enjoying every step I took in the luxury of the suite. “Naw, I’ll talk to him and Erik in Columbus.” That was my best move because I didn’t want to spoil this mood.

I decided to take a long bubble bath, but before then, I called the airlines to arrange my return flight to get my son back home. Then I called room service and ordered up some shit just because I could.

Afterward, I turned on some classical music. I walked to the bathroom as the melodic sound played throughout the suite. I smiled as I saw a phone near the tub, next to the toilet, so I punched 0 and waited until I received an answer.

“When my order is on the way, just tell them to come in and leave my food,” I told the person who answered. “I’m chillin’ so just bill the room.” After hanging up, I stepped into the warm, bubbly water, allowing it to cover me as I sat down. I closed my eyes and submerged my body under the bubbles as far as I could without getting my hair wet, enjoying the serenity I was experiencing. Heaven has got to be like this, I thought.

A few minutes later, I opened my eyes and saw the bottle of champagne and two glasses that were on the side of the tub. I poured two glasses just for me. With one glass in each hand, I toasted.

“To me for getting the plug! I did it, I did it! I’m plugged!”

After my personal pampering, I called and checked on my son.

“Pammy, he’s fine,” my mother assured me. “Actually, he’s playing with his cousins that he never has a chance to see.” She cleared her throat, throwing the hint out there. Even a deaf man could have caught it.

“Well, Mom, I’m coming to get him tomorrow. I may stay overnight with you.”

“That would be great. I miss seeing you. Actually, since you’re not with Chino, you can come whenever you want… not when he says you can.”

“Mom, please leave Chino out of this. Anyway, I’ll see ya tomorrow, and I don’t need a ride. I wanna take a cab. Put the baby on the phone please.”

“Okay, here he goes. Come on, sweetie, it’s your mama.
