I walked inside the kitchen and Harmony was sitting in her high chair with a paper that read Will you and Otis’s paper read marry me. I started crying and jumping up and down. Otis walked over to me and got down on one knee.
“Baby, from the first day I saw you, I knew that you was going
to be my wife. It just took some time for me to get my shit together. Tisha baby, you would make me the happiest man in the world if you say yes. So, baby will you marry a nigga?” his ghetto ass asked. I was in complete shock right now. I knew Otis loved me, but for him to propose to me had me really knowing that this man was really in love with my ass.
“Oh my God, baby yes!” I yelled, jumping up and down. I was so happy.
He stood up from the floor and picked me up and spun me around. When he put me down, I admired my 18K rose gold with the round white diamonds.
“Baby, this is so beautiful,” I said to him. Of course, you already know my crybaby ass was crying.
“Anything for my queen,” Otis said, wiping my tears.
I was on cloud nine right now. I couldn’t believe that I was actually getting married. I took my baby out of her high chair and sat her on my lap while I ate breakfast. The whole time I was eating she kept watching me, so I had to break off little pieces of my food and put it in her mouth, even though her greedy butt had just ate.
I went upstairs and had my baby right on my hip. Otis was in the bed watching TV, so I put Harmony in there with him so I could take my shower and start getting ready for work. When I jumped out the shower, I dried off and lotioned my body. I walked in my closet and picked out my blue denim shirt and my True Religion jeans, along with my gold heels from Steve Madden.
I went back inside the bathroom to do my hair. I put on a little bit of makeup and wore my hair parted down the middle, flowing down my back. I came out of the bathroom and got dressed with Otis’s eyes glued on me the entire time.
“Okay babies, I’m off to work,” I announced.
I walked over to my fiancé and my daughter and kissed them both. At exactly 12, I was walking out the door, running late as usual. I pulled up to the salon at exactly 12:45 because on the way here, I had to stop and get gas. I grabbed my purse out the car and walked in the salon, smiling ear to ear. When I walked in, all eyes were on me, so, me loving all the attention, decided to let everybody know the good news.
“Guess what ladies?” I screamed, standing at the front of the salon with all eyes on me.
“You’re pregnant? Tamika’s smart mouth ass screamed out.
“Nope, I’m getting married!!!” I screamed, showing my ring off. Everybody came running towards me and hugging me, telling me congratulations.
I went to Lani’s office and put my purse back there. When I came back, I went to my station and called my first client over.
“Tisha, I’m so happy for you, I can’t wait to help plan the wedding,” Lani beamed.
The rest of the day at the shop, my ass was on cloud nine. I couldn’t keep the smile off of my face. I was so proud to actually call myself, Otis’s fiancé.

Otis
Even though I proposed to Tisha last month, we didn’t want to stay engaged forever so we planned on getting married next month in February. Right now, we were getting ready to go to Orlando for the weekend to celebrate our daughter’s 1st birthday. Everybody was going. Me, Tisha, Harmony, Tyrone, Lani, Aaliyah, my nigga Pat was going with Tamika, and Kyla was going with my nigga Cevon. We were planning on staying in a timeshare. From the looks of the pictures, that shit looked real nice.
It consisted of eight bedrooms and five baths. It had a pool in the backyard, a game room, and a two car garage. We were planning on staying from Friday until Monday. Even though, we were going for my princess’s birthday, we all decided that we deserved a little vacation.
I walked in the room and Tisha was finishing packing my bag. She had already finished packing hers and Harmony’s clothes that morning.
“Baby, make sure you pack my swim trunks too,” I told Tisha.
“Baby, I already got them in here,” she told me.
I laid on the bed and watched as Tisha kept walking back and forth from the bedroom to the closet to fill my luggage up with my clothes and things. When she was finally done, she set all of our suitcases by the door so that I could load it in there by the end of the night. We were planning on leaving around 6 tomorrow morning, so we could be in Orlando by afternoon. We laid around the house for the rest of the day watching movies and, we eventually fell asleep a little bit after 11 p.m.

Tisha
My alarm went off this morning at 5 a.m. I couldn’t believe today was January 4th and my baby was one now. I swear it feels like I just gave birth to her yesterday. I got up out the bed along with Otis, and we got inside the shower together. After getting out, I wrapped my towel around me and went inside my baby’s room to wake her up, kiss all over her face and tell her happy birthday and let her know how much I loved her.
I walked inside of her room and turned on the lamp. I felt so bad for waking my daughter up, but I was so excited. I picked her up out of the bed and sat down on the rocking chair in her room and played with her hair. She eventually opened her eyes and looked at me like I was crazy.
