"Now I told him I had something special planned for tonight and to not make any plans or stay out too late tonight." Ashly said to herself and huffed.

She looked down at her phone saw that the time read 10:55. She figured he was probably having a guys night out with the guys so she sent them all a text in a group message.

I know y'all probably having a guys night out or whatever but can I have man at home with me, please. I have something for him.
-10:56

When the message sent she quickly got responses from Darius, Woody, Elijah and Algee.

Dom and I are at the studio and he's not with us.
-10:57

He's not with me either
-10:57

Luke and I just flew back to the A
-10:58

Not with me 🙍🏽‍♂️
10:58

Well do y'all have a clue of where he at?
-10:58

The guys responded with a nah.

"Deja vu." She said aloud to herself as she dialed his number and waited for him to answer.

"Ever since you've been askin' bout the friends, how'd you like it if, both of our names had Powers on the end, uh" Keith rapped lowly to himself as he walked in the house and closed and locked the door.

"I don't know how would you want me to feel about it?"

Keith jumped and yelped when I heard someone speak. He hurriedly flashed his flashlight towards the voice and saw Ashly leaned against his wall.

He turned his flashlight off and turned the main light on.

"Didn't you ever listen to your mama when she said to never scare anybody like that? And why you all dressed up?"

Ashly scoffed, leaned away from him and just stared at him.

"What? I got something on my face? My breath stink?"

While he checked his breath, Ashly shook her head and lightly chuckled.

"You don't even know do you?"

"Know what?"

"Never mind Powers." Ashly went upstairs to grab her things and leave.

As Keith turned around to follow behind her he noticed the candles that were once lit and all over the rose petals and saw more of them once he went into his bedroom. Then that's when it hit him, their three month anniversary was tonight and it honestly slipped his mind.

He stood in the doorway and watched as she blew the last candle out and proceeded to pack her bags. He walked over to her and stood behind her and grabbed her hands.

"Keith move."

He held onto her hands and kissed her neck.

"I'm sorry baby." He said in between kisses.

"I don't care Powers. Move."

"I'm sorry,baby. I got caught up with the guys at Good Nite and I lost track of time."

Ashly sighed and mentally rolled her eyes because she knew that was lie. Instead of asking questions tonight she chose to ask them in the morning.

"Is it too late to have my cake now?"

She honestly wanted to say yes, walk away and not let him have any for whole month but she knew deep down she couldn't resist him, especially with the way he was looking at the moment. So she decided to put her irritation & anger to the side and let her favorite customer into the bakery.

"Yes but for you I can make a special delivery."

"Oh you can?"

"Mhmm." She nodded and fell onto the bed with Keith on top of her and kissing her.
