They were so cute. I never imagined my best friend would find love in my man’s best friend, but here we were. The weekly double dates we started going on brought us all closer. Keith was a really good guy, and he was perfect for Taylor.
“Hey, hey!”
The sound of Sienna’s voice made me turn around and skip to her. She was glowing. Her small, round belly was poking against her fitted tee. I rubbed and kissed it before giving her love.
“How are you feeling, Sienna?” Taylor asked as she embraced her.
Their friendship had blossomed into something beautiful. They’d gotten to the point they would hang out by themselves. Taylor and I went with Sienna to her doctor’s appointment, and we were in the process of planning her a surprise gender reveal with the help of her baby’s father. He had stepped up, being everything that Sienna and my godchild needed.
Sienna huffed, hand circling her stomach. “I’m exhausted today. It was my last day of finals, and I stayed up most of the night studying. I took a nap, but it didn’t seem like it was enough.”
“You didn’t have to come, Si. We’re about to be in here acting like big kids. You need to get all the beauty rest.”
“It’s okay. I’ve been cooped up in the house, so it feels good to get out. My parents have been on me about not stressing and making sure I take careful of myself for the baby. Trust me, a break was needed.”
“Girl, you know when the baby gets here, they’re going to hog him or her.” Taylor giggled.
“I already know. Do you know they bought two cribs? One for the baby’s room and one for their room.” Sienna smirked with a shake of her head. “I love it though. I didn’t think it’d be like this.”
“You’re blessed to have them,” I stated.
“I am.”
Cage and Keith called us over to go inside. When we made it to the entrance, Sienna asked us to go to the bathroom with her. It was on the left right before we entered the main area of the arcade, so she whisked us away to relieve her bladder.
Taylor was in the mirror fixing herself up, staring at me every so often. She spun around and grinned. “I told you the white jumpsuit would be perfect.”
“Girl, you know I don’t wear white well, but it does look good.”
If I would’ve known we were coming to the arcade, I would’ve gone with the first outfit I had in mind. Taylor insisted I go with the white jumpsuit. I had to admit, it did accentuate my newfound curves. I’d gained a few pounds, and according to Cage, it was going all to the right places.
The jumpsuit had a deep dip in the front, and my back was completely out in the rear. For the first time in a long time, my hair was silk pressed and curled, styled in a half up, half down hairstyle. I put a little more effort into my makeup, and my favorite part was the chocolate lip combo. Cage had bought me a diamond jewelry set that paired well with my flats.
I felt overdressed, but Taylor and Sienna were just as fancy as I was.
Once Sienna was done, we exited the bathroom. I screamed as all the power in the arcade went out. I reached out for my friends, but they had moved away from me.
“Cage!”
No response.
“I don’t like these games! Cage!”
One of the games turned on, barely giving me any light. Three more followed before a strobe of light lit my path, and Cage appeared. He stood a few feet away from me, standing in front of our favorite game, surrounded by white lily petals.
“Come to me, baby,” he instructed with his hand out.
Since the arcade was still a little too dark for my liking, I ran to him. “What the hell is going on?”
“That’s what I’m trying to figure out. I think they’re working on it, but play me in Pac-Man real quick.”
Hesitantly, I agreed. “You know I’m about to whup your ass, right?”
“You know you’ve never beat me, right?”
“There’s a first time for everything.”
We went at it. I forgot all about it being dark until the end of the game. It didn’t end how it normally did. Mr. and Mrs. Pac-Man met in the middle and kissed. The screen lit up, slowly typing out words.
