you to have sex now; I just want to let you know you can talk to me. I
want you to be safe.” Maria told her. She knew her daughter was getting
aggravated, so she quickly changed the subject.
“So,
how do you feel about turning the big 1-6 tomorrow?” Maria exaggerated.
“I
mean, I don’t know.” Mercedes shrugged her shoulders, “I’m still not legal
yet.”
“I
know that’s right!” Maria said as she grabbed her drink from the coffee table.
“So
just because your sixteen don’t start thinking you’re grown and will come in
all wee hours of the night.”
“Ma,
I know. Tonight was special though, but it won’t happen again.” Mercedes rolled
her eyes.
“Well
goodnight Ma, I’m going to bed.” Mercedes lied. She wasn’t really tired; she
just wanted to get away from her mother. She didn’t want to have this
conversation with her mother.
“Good
night baby.” They exchanged kisses on the cheek. Maria watched as Mercedes
walked up the spiral stair case. When she got to her room, she took off her
clothes and crawled into the bed. She couldn’t wait until tomorrow; she would
finally be the big sweet sixteen.
Super Sweet 16
Mercedes
lay sound asleep in her canopy bed with the covers wrapped firmly around her
body. She did not want to wake up just yet. As much as she wanted this day to
come, she had mixed emotions that it was here. This was supposed to be her big
day. She turned over, trying to avoid the sun light that peeked in through her
pink sheer curtains.
After
several moments of debating whether or not to get up, Mercedes heard a knock on
her door. It was her mother; she walked into the room holding a small Carvel
ice cream cake that had the number sixteen in the middle.
“Happy
birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to Mercedes, happy birthday
to you baby.” Maria sang. She placed the cake on the nightstand.
“Aww
come on Mercedes it’s your birthday, wake up.” Her mother pulled the covers off
of her daughter’s body and playfully tickled her stomach. She knew that would
wake her up.
“Alright
Ma, I’m up…I’m up.” Mercedes chuckled, as she held back the laughter. She sat
up in her bed looking a hot mess. Her baby hair was all frazzled and pieces of
her wavy hair were falling over in front of her face.
Maria
chuckled at her.
“What’s
so funny?” She was curious.
“Your
hair girl…looking like a damn lion, you need to go get your hair done.” Maria
smiled, knowing how to make Mercedes smile when she was cranky in the morning.
“Whatever
Ma” Mercedes playfully rolled her eyes as she let out a chuckle.
“Make
a wish.” Maria smiled. She grabbed the ice cream cake off of the night stand
and placed it in front of Mercedes. She closed her eyes for about ten seconds,
made a wish, and then opened them back up.
“What
did you wish for?” Maria jokingly asked.
“No,
I can’t tell you Ma. If I do, my wish won’t come true.”
“I’m
going to put this back in the freezer and Claudia is making breakfast. Be ready
in about a half an hour. It gives you enough time to get showered up and
dressed.” Mercedes watched as her mother walked out of her room and disappeared
into the corridors of their home.
Mercedes
quickly snatched up her Hello Kitty robe of the door and walked into her
bathroom. She turned on her shower and wished she could just sit in the jacuzzi
and relax. But today was her birthday, and she didn’t have time to sit and lamp
around.
When
she was done in the shower, she threw on her robe and headed towards her
walk-in closet. She quickly scanned over it to see what she was going to wear.
It really didn’t matter; she looked good in everything.
Today
was her Sweet Sixteen party and she still had more items to purchase. She
settled on an all pink Juicy Couture track suit and accessorized with some
matching custom made Dunks.
