IT WAS AMAZING how a Quad White Mocha from Starbucks could wake a person up. Patrick had gotten me coffee and drove me back to his place where my mom had arrived and we finished getting everything ready for the party. Coming downstairs, I spotted the few people who had shown up already including my cousins Clarissa and Marissa. The two of them were twins, but easy to tell them apart as Clarissa wore glasses while Marissa didn’t. They both had beautiful dark chocolate skin that seemed to glow.

“Hey CeCe and Mar!” I said to them happily as I approached them and hugged each in turn.

“Is this really your boyfriend’s place?” Clarissa asked as she looked around. I nodded.

“Does he have a brother?” Marissa asked with a giggle.

“Or two brothers?” Clarissa added. I just laughed at their questions. I seemed to get that a lot. Everyone wanted a piece of the pie.

“No, he is an only child. Sorry,” I maintained with a shrug.

“Ooo, there he is now… he is hella fine.” Marissa commented. I turned to see Patrick walking through the kitchen. I turned from my cousins and jogged back into the house to my boyfriend who looked amazing in jeans and a light purple button up.

“I’m heading out so you ladies can enjoy the party,” he commented as he pulled me close by the waist. I nodded and allowed him to press his lips softly to mine. “I’m going to meet a buddy in San Mateo. Just text me when everything is done here.”

“Okay, sounds good,” I said before I allowed him to kiss me one more time.

“I love you.”

“I love you, too,” I echoed. I could hear my cousins awwing in the background. I allowed Patrick to let me go. He gave my mom a wave. “Have a good one mom,” he said to her. She managed a wave to him before he disappeared out of the front door. I loved that he and my parents had become close in this short amount of time. Right away, he was calling my parents mom and dad. Keaton always called them Mr. and Mrs. Elliot from day one and that was it, always so formal, but Patrick was instant family from the first moment.

I smiled to myself before going into the kitchen where my mom was putting together the last of the food. It wasn’t going to be a family event without my mom cooking up a storm. I was particularly excited about her homemade and traditional Chicken Biryani.

“You and Patrick seem to be getting very serious,” my mom mentioned casually while I snuck a spoon of her Biryani. “I saw that. I already put a tub of some in the fridge for you and Patrick.”

“Awesome!” I cheered happily. I heard my cell phone alarm beep. I walked to my purse on the counter and pulled out a small round plastic disk. I opened it and popped one of the pills out before putting the disk back in the purse. I poured myself a glass of punch and swallowed the pill with one big swish.
