"So what are we doing tomorrow Del?" Asked Lylah wiping her lip gloss off. "We're going to a museum then the Eiffel Tower. I can't wait to go to the Eiffel Tower. Maybe I should've proposed there. What you think D?" Delvin said brushing his teeth. "Noo. I love the way you proposed. It was so thoughtful and I was so emotional" DaLylah said tearing up. "Well thank you. I put a lot of thought into that. Also we leave Saturday and go straight to Jamaica. And best part of all your birthday!" Delvin said with excitement spitting the water and toothpaste out his mouth. "Woot woot." Lylah said. She laughed and continued."Finally 24, ugh I was just fourteen like a morning ago"  "I know D. It's like I had just turned fifteen became the new kid at school and met my future wife in my math class" Delvin laughed.  "Time flies." He continued. Lylah picked up a chip and flounced on the bed. "Woah I'm tired" said Laylah as she picked up the remote. Delvin got in bed next to Lylah and pulled her in to cuddle. Lylah being pulled towards Delvin and wasting chips out her mouth. "Del let's watch Mulan" said Lylah is a baby voice. "I'm gonna try but I might fall asleep" Delvin said already half way sleep. Lylah turned on Mulan and watched it til her eyes gave out. Blink after blink after blink and sleep Lylah was.
The next morning house keeping knocked on the door. "House keeping." The man said while knocking. "Oh my god." Delvin said under his breath. "We don't need house keeping" Delvin said. "Um sir im just doing my job" He knocked again. "House keeping" Said the man. "Sir I'm tired go away." Delvin yelled. From all the yelling Delvin was doing it woke Lylah up. She stretched her legs and wiggled her toes. "Good raising Del" Lylah said cheesing. "Goodmorning birthday girl" Delvin said and turned around pulling the covers. "Okay five more minutes Del" Lylah said getting out of the bed to find her an outfit. She went into her suitcase getting the dark blue sparkling dress Delvin had packed for her. "Every other word is my fiancé mhmhm he was on his A game" she sang. And shaking her shoulders to the beat of the song. She went in the bathroom and jumped on the counter. Picking at the pimple on her forehead head. "He was on his A game" she sang again. "Ok Del can you get up?" Layla yelled from the bathroom. "I'm up and dressed. What is that song you're singing?" Asked Delvin. "I actually don't know I heard it some where and now it's stuck in my head." Laylah said still picking at her forehead. Layla jumped off the counter and grabbed her toothbrush. "He was on his A game" she sang again. "Ok I'm ready first the museum. Let's got hun" Laylah said smirking. " let's go then D" Delvin said. When they got to the museum, Lylah took out her phone to take pictures and make memories. "I'm not a big museum person but I'm happy you're having fun D." "I'm having a great time but I'm ready for Jamaica. Let's go to the tower Del." "I'm right behind you." Delvin said grabbing Lylah's hand. Lylah excitedly walked out the museum and did a cartwheel. "This is the best birthday I've ever had. Paris, proposed to, birthday, and Jamaica in the same week! How I love you Delvin" Lylah said before she did another cartwheel. "I love you too D." Lylah continued her cartwheels until she was dizzy. "Sushi, sushi" a guy said with a tray in his hand. Delvin grabbed a sushi and shared it with Lylah. "Ugh sushi" Lylah said disgustingly. "Not a big sushi fan" said Lylah. "Here we are the wonderful tower in Paris." Said Delvin looking up at the tower. "Damn it's high up, you wanna go all the way up there? Know we can just go straight to Jamaica." Said Lylah. "No I don't but we only got one life to live, let's go up there" Delvin said still looking up at the tower. Delvin and Lylah went up into the tower. The higher the got, the slower they walked. "Man" Delvin said looking up and down on the tower. " Not gone yie, I'm about to get off this tower." They both started laughing. "Who you think you are Delvin? Loyal Jones?" Lylah saying holding onto Delvin. "That's probably my cousin.Let's take a picture smile D" "cheese." Delvin and Lylah didn't go all the way onto the tower. They eventually went back to the hotel and packed all there things and went to the air port. "Let's not have another airport situation Delvin" Lylah said looking into Delvin eyes with not a smirk on her face. "I promise Ms.DaLylah." Delvin said. They boarded the plane in first class. "Unt? First class? Delvin!" Lylah said in excitement. "Didn't I say you were getting first class? Happy birthday D" said Delvin. "Thank you Del. I love you" "I love you more." He replied calmly. "Attention everyone" said the flight attendant. "There's a birthday on the plane. Join us to singing happy birthday to Ms.Daylah, here in first class." The flight attendant continued. Everyone started at once "Happy birthday to you...happy birthday to you....happy birthday to you... how old are you?" "Twenty four" Lylah said standing up. "Hap..py birth..day to you." Everyone clapped and cheered. "Thank you everyone" Lylah said as she sat down and turning towards Delvin. "You did all of this?" Asked Lylah with confusion. "Yes. Sit back and enjoy the flight. Relax" Delvin said half way asleep.
After the flight Delvin and DalyLah getting their luggage. An old friend ran into Delvin. "Del, what's up man? Been a while" said the unknown guy. Lylah stepped back as the men were talking and let out a slight grin. "Wow,I was just telling my fiancé here, DaLylah, how time flies. Replied Delvin. "Fiancé? wow." The guy said. He continued "This is my girlfriend Emily and my two daughters, Emerald and Emari. "Wow you sure do like snow" Delvin laughed. As they were talking and everyone else stood awkwardly. Lylah thought about her life if she was a mother. Her son playing football just like Delvin or her daughter wanting to be a princess. Lylah sat looking at the two little girls and their curly long hair thinking what it's like to do their hair. Laylah also thought about if she'd have that conversation with Delvin or is it too early for a family. "D? You okay?" Asked Delvin. "Yes I'm great did you ask me something?" Asked Lylah. "No the kid did" said Delvin. Lylah bent down. "Hey, what did you say baby ?" Asked Lylah. "I said how do you feel knowing everyone in your home town loves you like family?" Ask the little girl. "Also I'm not a baby I'm twelve." She continued rudely. "Twelve? Mhm. Your barely even alive" Lylah said with attitude. The girls mom looked up at Lylah with an attitude. Lylah continued. "But I feel honored actually. To know I'm doing great things for great people for a great reason on side with this great man." Lylah said to the little girl and looked up at her mom "And love your mom. They're not always gonna be around." "Come on D, let's go" said Delvin. They walked out of the air port with their things and Lylah's body filled with joy again. "D?" "Yes Del?" "You were wrong back there but like always I'm on your side" "I know but no one's gonna talk to me like they crazy. No adult, no child, hell I don't care if you're a dog. Bet not bark at me to loud. They ain't my moma." Lylah said why tilting her body and swinging her fingers. "I understand but let's be more gentle with children. We don't want no one talking to our future child like that. Delvin said with his hands on her shoulders. All Lylah could think about is Delvin saying their future kids. She'd finally have a real family with a mom and dad. Unlike her family growing up.
Hours later Delvin and Lylah went to get a lime stone message. Delvin started to enjoy the bambo rafting probably more than Lylah. Delvin took pictures of everything he possibly could. Every second he was telling Lylah to smile and pose for the pictures. Music played as they wear on the raft. "Every other  word is my fiancé" Lylah sang. The raft slowly moved on the water and the Jamaicans started to dance. Delvin joined while Lylah watched. Laylah thought seeing Delvin dancing was the best in the world. 
After the bambo rafting Delvin and Lylah went to a night club. Everyone dancing and drinking having a great time. Lylah danced the night away like there was no tomorrow.
Later they went back to their hotel and somewhat fell out. From the amazing day they had Delvin and Lylah were exhausted.
