so you’re suggesting we actually go out there and solve a murder?

Movie Review: The Lovebirds

IMDb Summary: A couple (Issa Rae and Kumail Nanjiani) experiences a defining moment in their relationship when they are unintentionally embroiled in a murder mystery.

What I liked:

Issa Rae as Leilani. I’d never seen her in anything (although I have since heard that Insecure is awesome) but I found her to be really cute and likable in this role.

It's not just a romcom. While it had elements of a romantic comedy (and ended as I would have expected), it also had elements of mystery and action and in some instances, suspense.

Leilani and Jibran's relationship was not perfect - which I think is a more accurate representation of a lot of real-life relationships vs. romcom (ie. fairytale) relationships.

Leilani and Jibran's nicknames when referring to people they would come across (eg. ‘Bicycle’, ‘Mustache’, etc). That is SO me.

The Amazing Race reference - because it’s one of my favorite competition/reality shows and whenever I imagine myself on it, I also imagine a lot of arguing!

What I didn't like:

Some of the bickering was a little bit too much. In the context of the movie, I understand that Leilani and Jibran were a mismatched couple. But some of the quarrels - especially during tense situations - were a bit much. I know it was probably done for comedic effect, but you know, no need to beat me over the head with it - I get it.

There were a bunch of funny moments throughout the movie, but it wasn’t consistently or overwhelmingly funny.

Other random thoughts:

I liked the Hobbs & Shaw reference - albeit brief - because, you know.

When Jibran needed to ask someone to help him hack the phone, I couldn't help but think, "Dinesh would have been able to hack this phone himself."

This movie was originally scheduled to be released in movie theatres, but because of the lockdown, it was released direct to Netflix. Box Office numbers are not being currently reported (as there is no Box Office right now) but I am curious to know how the performance of this movie, as well as other direct to digital movies are doing during the quarantine vs. regular box office performance.

Final Thoughts:

Overall I thought this movie was OK - a ridiculously unbelievable storyline with some amusing bits sprinkled in throughout, but not super hilarious or even particularly memorable. Had we all not been under mandatory quarantine, I really doubt that this is a movie that I would have gone out of my way to see in the theatre (I literally would have said "Yeah, I'll check that out when it comes to Netflix”). But it's a relatively entertaining and fun one to watch at home on your couch on a random Saturday evening.

______________

Graduation day was approaching. The stress was high and I was ready to get this shit over with. A vacation was really needed and it wasn’t coming fast enough.

The upcoming divorce finalization; trying to finish up the album on time, lunch with the parents soon and visiting my daughters grave. I haven’t bright anyone to her grave, besides my friends, because I never thought anyone was worth it seeing someone near and dear to me be gone.

When I lost my daughter, my whole world turned upside down: my marriage was in turmoil and I lost myself. I’m thankful for the new beginnings I’ve been receiving but, I can’t help but wonder what it would’ve been like to be a mother. The upcoming weekend was one to focus on and I wasn’t about to fail now. My baby girl Delaney wouldn’t want that for her mama.

Destiny and Cynthia we’re setting up the community pool area for my party, which is being combined with my birthday for a convenience for everyone. Seeing all my friends and family together in one spot, meant the world to me. Florian was the icing on the cake to my never ending endeavors.

Being his girl, his queen, meant everything and even more so. He’s been there through it all and I’m just blessed to have him in my life. Seeing wall in with his friends, and my cake, pulled me from my trance.

Roxie leaned in close to my ear. “Girl, there goes your future baby daddy.”

“Rox come on now, you know I need a ring first. But I do like the idea of having his kids though.” All the kekeing that went down was seized by a very happy giant.

“Ladies, what’s with all the laughter? Did I miss something?” Feeling a strong presence behind me, I leaned back against Florian with a gentle smile.

“No not really. Just chatting with my good friend Roxie, you know girl talk.” With a slight shrug, I laced my fingers with his. Feeling in complete bliss with the man I love.

Chuckling gently, whilst placing a kiss upon my head he held me close.“Mhm. Well the guys want to meet you formally, if Roxie doesn’t mind.”

Roxie shook her head with a smile, before heading to the present table. “G’head you two. Don’t get pregnant now.”

“She’s a mess. But anyway, so I get to meet the boys for the first time? Whose all here?” I was curious yet nervous at the same time.

“She is, but hey getting pregnant wouldn’t be so bad would it? The guys are harmless.”

I had to stop him, before we continued. Looking up at him with sweet hopeful eyes, I didn’t know what to think.

“Before we go talk to them, you want to have kids with me? We haven’t talked about it but I’ve always wondered, what if.”

It was his turn to become nervous. His cheeks were reddened a bit, he scratched the back of his head and chuckled softly. “I do want kids with you, Gege. I just didn’t know how to ask.”

“We can always try, I'm down for trying. There isn’t anyone else in this world I would rather have kids with, than you.” Pressing a soft kiss to his lips, I felt him smile against mine.

Nuzzling our noses together, we continued our walk towards the firepit that held a hookah. “And I you, draga. We can talk about all this later tonight after the party. Ok? I really want you to meet the guys.”

“Let’s do it.”

The vibes of the party were flowing nicely: the drinks were flowing, the music was pumping and everyone was in good spirits. Leon, Sandro and Masias have been Florian’s best friends for years. Getting their approval of me was important, as my friends impression on Florian.

Over the course of the conversation, I noticed the boys had switched to their native tongue which was German. The only person in the circle that was formed that knew I was fluent in German, was Flo. I was in tune with the whole conversation, and then some.

Leon spoke first. “Es sieht so aus, als hätte Florian eine Königin gefunden.”

“er tat es sicher. Ich bin auch stolz auf ihn, das letzte Mädchen, mit dem er sich verabredet hat, war nicht so toll.” Sandro nodded in agreement, clinking his beer bottle with Leon’s.

“sie ist auch hübsch klug, brachte ihr eigenes Ding in Schwung. Ganze neun Meter hat er Glück.” Masias smiled over at Florian and I. I snuggled deeper into his side and felt at home and secure.

“Well thank you boys for your kind words and sentiments. I’m gonna get me some cake.” Placing a kiss upon my man's cheek, I saw the shocked expressions of his friends. I made my way towards the cake table, where I was greeted by my parents and siblings.

I could hear Florian’s booming voice, in the distance, erupting in laughter. “Did I mention that she’s fluent in German?”

“That would've been helpful in the beginning.” Masias playfully hit his best friends arm.

“Mom, dad. I’ve missed you guys call thanks for coming.” Hugging them both I teared up a little, realizing that my parents have done so much to make sure I was okay and in the right mindset. This battle with Jake, has caused me to go to the hospital with heart problems.

“3rd graffiti on, but second tuition I don’t have to pay for? Of course I’m coming.” My dad, always had jokes when it came to his kids.

My mom, to everyone Mama Sasha or Mama Shaw, kissed my head and held me close. “Pumpkin, you know we wouldn’t miss your big week. This was all done by your strength; determination and hardwork. For that we’re proud of you.”

“Thanks it means a lot to me that y’all are here. Where’s Donny, Luca and Leilani?”

“Right here!” The twins ran up to me and crushed me in a big bear hug, while Donny strayed behind while limping.

“Don, why you limping? Football?” Arching a brow, I smirked teasingly.

“Yeah I rolled it, while playing. I’m out for a bit, but I couldn’t miss your celebration week.”

“Well I’m glad you’re here. All of you, because this week I want y’all to have lunch with Florian and I. His parents are here too.

“We can do that. Private setting just us as a family, I like it. You know his mother and I talk a lot, I love her already.” Normally most people wouldn’t get past hello with my mom, so for her and Florca to even have weekly conversations is a plus for me and Florian.

“It’ll will be fun. I think we can have it in my house, on the patio since it’s bigger than my dining room.” Relaxing with my parents and siblings by the other fire pit, I glanced over at Florian a few times and blew him a kiss. I love that man more than anything, and we make each other better.

Florian’s POV

Winking back at Geneva, I felt my heart flutter every time she glanced at me. She has changed my life around even more so, and we build each other up. We’re each other’s rock and I couldn't have asked for a better partner in life.

Focusing back on the guys, I couldn’t help by chuckle. “I know I avoid I’ve told y’all she knew German, but what’s the point of spoiling the surprise?” Taking a sip of my beer, I could feel the guys eyeing me left and right. I could not fathom it at all with my laughter surfacing.

Glancing over at my lady once more, I couldn’t help but smile at how happy she is. I put that smile on her face: I’m the only that’s making her giggle every few glances she takes at me and I’m the reason she wakes up feeling safe and secure every morning.

We’ve had our moments where we have a small arguments here and there. But nothing too drastic, luckily we don’t go to bed angry.

The other night however we had a fight, more like a small discussion about Jake, and it didn’t go over too well. It keeps poking his nose in our business where he doesn’t belong, sending subliminal messages to Geneva about needing to leave me because I’m not good enough for her and her standards.

I had the right mind to go find him and beat his scrawny ass, but I held back for the time being because I saw him with Mandy out and about a few days ago. But no child in sight, that she so called had. Needless to say, what you put out in the universe is what you get back. Karma is going to bite them in the ass, and I want a front row seat.

As the months went on, I’ve gotten accustomed to Geneva’s neighbors, as they have with me. Mrs. Patterson from down the street, who loves when I come by to help with her groceries at whatnot. Then there was Donna and Apollo Valentine, who always enjoyed having Geneva and over for dinner. Speaking of the Valentines’, they had just arrived with a giddy gif the lady of the hour and a strange bouquet of flowers in a grey frosted glass vase.

I had to excuse myself from the guys, to greet the newly arrived guests. “Donna, Apollo. So nice of you to come by.”

“The pleasure is all mine, Florian. You and the guys did an amazing job decorating the place for Geneva. Speaking of which, where is- awe there she is!” Donna and Geneva had embraced one another in hug, and happy tears were shed.

Letting the women catch up, I had asked Apollo about the flowers. Not that Geneva didn’t deserve them, she deserves the world, but why were they in a vase?

“I saw some fella place them on the porch, a few hours after you two left the condo for the party.” He began. “He looked suspicious, yet familiar.”

“About this tall; tapered fade, face looks like he could mess up someone’s life? And did he by chance have a blonde with him, that looks like she has too many injections in her face?” I arched a brow, causing Apollo to chuckle at my use of words.

“Yeah that sounds about right. They just sat the vase on the porch and ducked out.” The further he explained, the more aware I became of the flowers.

Graciously taking the flowers, I went into protective mode. “Thanks for letting me know, I’ll have to tell Geneva before she gets a hold of them.”

“Anytime.” Heading back to his wife, I made my way towards Gege. As soon as she saw the flowers, her eyes lit up.

“Flo, you didn’t have to get me more flowers. I love the red daisies and sunflowers you gave me.”

“These aren’t from me, draga.” As soon I told, he face fell. Who else would give her geraniums? The type of flowers she’s allergic to.

The closer she got, the quicker her facial expression changed. “Florian why do you have-” the sneezing began, causing a sneeze attack. “Geraniums?”

Covering her nose, she read the card as best as she could with her watery eyes. I had to get these away from her. “From your first love? Ah hell. Toss em, please.”

Doing exactly that, I also ran inside the house to get her medicine. What kind of sadistic asshole, would give their ex flowers that they’re allergic to? I swear I’m going to kill him myself. I’m tired of these games he’s doing to cause a rift between Geneva and I.

“Thank you love.” She took the allergy pills, with a swig of water, I was in deep thought a hit what could’ve happened to her if I didn’t think fast.

“Just so you know, I’m going to murder him if hurts you again. Let alone come near you.” Holding her close to me, I swayed her to the rhythm of the music.

“Florian. Don’t engage in his antics, please. I don’t need any more stress built on me.”

“Geneva I have to protect you from him. Who knows what he’ll do next, because-”

She gave me a stern look, filled with rage “Florian, I said no. Now go enjoy yourself with the guys, I’m done having this conversation. Ok?”

As she walked away, I felt defeated. I didn’t want her to be distraught with me, but I wanted her to understand that Jake can’t come near her and I was going to make sure of it. I guess it would have to be dealt with another time, maybe sooner than later.

-Geneva’s POV, 2 hours later-

After cleaning up; giving everyone love and hugs, enjoying everyone’s company and time, and just loving the vibes everyone gave off, it felt great to finally relax. Nothing but positivity, it was just what I needed and deserved after all the bullshit I’ve been through.

Jake was becoming more and more belligerent, as time went on. On top of that with the divorce being finalized soon, I have to deal with an overgrown Romanian child who doesn't want to listen at all.

I hated it when we fought. It brought the mood down for the rest of the night, and I didn’t want to go to bed distraught with him. I love him for god's sake, I’m in love with Florian and nothing will ever change that.

Hearing the TV boom through the halls, I knew he was in the living room watching a game. As I walked to the living room, I placed my hands on his shoulders, massaging gently. I had one of his blue hoodies and a pair of shorts.

“Can we talk?” My tone was soft, airy even. He nodded softly, holding my hand as I walked around the couch and sat on his lap.

Nuzzling into my neck, he sighed. “Geneva, I want to apologize for how I acted earlier.”

I kissed him tenderly, before gently rubbing the back of his head. “I want to apologize as well, my love. I shouldn’t have got upset with you earlier. I know we’re both going through a tough time, with this divorce and it’s taking a toll on not just me. More or so everyone around me, because I have a protective village.”

The look he gave, with his sweet baby blue eyes, was sincere and full of love. I snuggled deeper into his chest, taking in his warmth. He smelled of honey, pine and cinnamon. The aroma was comforting and intoxicating, like a campfire by a log cabin.

Even a heated blanket, draped over you after a long day freezing day. That new body wash I bought him, seemed to be his favorite. I dragged my nails through his beard, which he seemed to enjoy, by the sound he made. Looking like a cuddly grizzly bear, needing a good night's sleep.

“It has taken a toll on me as well, because I don’t want to see you upset and stressed out by it all. I just want this to be over, and I want to protect you to the best of my ability.” He rests his head against the back of the couch, keeping his gaze on me.

Reassuring him, I laced our fingers together and squeezed. “I know baby, I know. I just want you to know that I am capable of taking care of myself though. I’m a big girl.”

“And I respect that about you, and your drive. I can’t help but get in defense mode over people I love. Whatever happens to you; my friends, my family, my parents. I will stand by those who have always had my back and are wishing good things upon me. Negativity doesn’t fly with me.” He was being real and truthful. That’s what I loved most about him, along with his work ethic. He doesn’t half ass anything, unlike most people I know.

“I just want you to know that I will always be here no matter what happens. I want what’s best for you and I can’t wait for you to finally be mine.”

Holding his face in my hands, rubbing my thumbs against his flushed cheeks, “Baby, I’ve been yours. Regardless of my situation, I will always be your girl. Even after it’s all said and done, I wouldn't mind getting married to you.”

“Really? You would want to get married to me, after all this? After all the bullshit?” His tone was hushed: his nose was against mine, our breath was mingled as one. I chuckled gingerly, fully straddling his lap this time.

“Why does it sound hot when you say ‘bullshit’ like that?” I paused and saw a red velvet box. “Florian…”

How does one breath again? Because my breath was halted, by the presence of a ring in front of my face. It was my birthstone, a ruby red princess cut diamond. This man was always full of surprises.

“Now, now. This is just a step in the right direction, but I figured I’d do at least this. A princess cut gem, according to your mother and Leilani, for my princess. Happy birthday and congratulations on graduating, baby girl.” He slipped the ring on my left ring finger, even though I knew my friends would ask, and kissed my nose.

The ring was gorgeous. The intricate and vintage swirl design was perfect, around the stone that held it in place. Hugging him tight, and letting the tears fall where they lay, I have never felt happier in my life. “You asked my mom and sister for help? God you’re so fucking perfect, baby I love it and you, thank you.”

Placing kisses all on my face, he made me giggle.”I love you too. So much, that words can’t even begin to describe how much I love me some Genevieve.”

“And I love me some Florian. You’ve been so amazing with me lately, and I couldn’t have asked for a better partner in this dangerous game called life. This just makes us closer to a goal, that we will fulfill.”

Sealing the night off with a sweet kiss, we stayed snuggled against each other on the couch, just enjoying others company. Occasionally, I’d steal a kiss from him as he'd watch his game. Typical further wife things, ya know?

Finally graduating with my second degree, was going to be so rewarding with all the blood; sweat and tears, I’ve put into it. I have a much better positive force with me now, and I couldn’t be more blessed.

Translations: loosely from google translate

German:

1) Es sieht so aus, als hätte Florian eine Königin gefunden.”

2) Er tat es sicher. Ich bin auch stolz auf ihn, das letzte Mädchen, mit dem er sich verabredet hat, war nicht so toll.

3) Sie ist auch hübsch klug, brachte ihr eigenes Ding in Schwung. Ganze neun Meter hat er Glück.

English:

1) looks like Floridan found himself a queen

2) He sure did. I’m proud of him too, the last girl he dated wasn’t all that great.

3) She’s pretty too. Smart, got her own thing going. Whole nine yards, he’s lucky.

Most people on New Year’s Eve are out and about; with their families or choose to stay in the comfort of their own home. Yet for me, Genevieve or Geneva for short, I was the latter and was out partying with my friends into the wee hours of the night to ring in the new year. This year, 2018 to be exact, has been a rough one for me and I was in desperate need some of positive reinforcements. With starting my own personal training business; moving to New York City to be closer to my parents and going through a divorce, a huge change of scenery was just what the doctor ordered.

The neon club lights illuminated my rich mocha skin, as the music seemed to seep through my veins and control my moments. Moving to the beat and the rhythm with ease, without a care in the world. The vibe was alive in Marquee New York, and it was a great way to celebrate her move. I made sure to keep an eye out on my siblings; Donovan, Lucas and Leilani, all the while feeling free for the first time all year.

Most people weren’t close with their siblings like I am, seeing as though we were all close in age. Even though they were in the club either their friends, the ages were close. Nothing broke their bond and nothing ever will. That is until I got married and it shook the family to its very core on how it transpired in a year. Needless to say, it ended pretty rough but I got the last laugh.

“I’m so glad you came out tonight. We needed our girl out.” Cynthia encouraged as she handed me a glass of White Russian. Happily accepting the drink, I took a sip and went back to dancing as my 4C right coils moved in tandem.

She’s one of my best friends since college, and couldn’t get over the fact that I finally got out of her condo for once.

“We’ve never seen you this happy. It’s good to have our girl back.” Destiny nodded in agreement. It was a rarity to get these three together. Destiny and I, have also been best friend since the 4th grade.

“I know, I know. But listen it’s all good now, I’m here and I’m out. Plus my cousin said he wanted me to meet someone tonight. I just hope he listens to me though.”

“You even agreeing to meet a dude after filing for a divorce, is grand enough.”

“She’s right though. Hopefully Michael comes through for ya.”

They always had my best interest at heart, and I couldn’t have asked for better friends, who were like family to me to be there.

“Knowing Michael, whomever he knows, better be up to par. I just can’t see myself dating an actor, you know? You know how it all went with Jake, cheatin ass.”

I spoke as clearly as I could over the music, and just kept on dancing. Next thing I knew, Twerk by City Girls came on and all hell broke loose. Dragging my friends to the middle of the dance floor and did exactly what the song instructed.

Having a circle form around us was nothing new. At all the gatherings, before she got married, they were the life of the party wherever they went.

“Mind if we cut in? Can’t have you two dancing alone.” Jonathan said in a smooth voice, knowing it did something to Cynthia. She happily obliged and was whisked away. Ryan soon came up as well and made Destiny giddy as a school girl.

“How yall just gonna take my best friends? Rude.” Seeing how much love my friends were getting was enough for me to get by. The love Johnny showed towards Cyn, and Ryan with Destiny, showed volumes. It made my heart flutter at the bond they had.

“Sorry Gen. We love them too ya know.” Ryan places a gentle kiss on upon my head before heading back to his girl. Leaving myself to dance by alone, till she got a text from Michael saying he made it to the club. Upon sending a reply, Donovan texted her saying he took the twins home. Feeling a sense of relief wash over.

“He’s here y’all. I gotta meet him upstairs in VIP.” Without missing a beat, the other four hightailed it behind me, up the stairs to see who my cousin was setting me up with. Accepting the VIP hand stamp from the bouncer, walking towards the group in the main area.

“For your sake, I hope he listened to you.” Cynthia snickered gently, causing Destiny to lightly tap her arm.

“Well, well well. If it isn’t my favorite cousin Geneva. What’s going on girl?” Michael said enthusiastically, giving her a hug.

“Better not let Donny and the twins hear you say that Mr. Superstar.” I chuckled softly, returning the hug and introduced my friends to him.

Michael always kept in touch with family no matter how busy he got. Whether it was movie deals; commercials or interviews, he made sure to keep in contact.

“Gen, you never told me your cousin was Michael B. Jordan!” Ryan exclaimed in a hushed tone in my ear. I thought it was implied.

“It’s not something I brag about constantly. I don’t need people bombarding me with questions on like; ‘is he single?’ Or ‘does he want a baby mama?’ I’m good fam.”

The more I explained it, the more it made sense. Even Michael nodded in agreement, before smirking a bit. Glancing at the party below, my mind was elsewhere during all of this.

“Listen cuz, it’s almost the new year and I know you’ve been through a lot.” He began his speech, just as Florian stood next to him.

“Yeah huh. What are you getting at Bakari?” Upon taking a sip of the new drink, I turned my attention away from the coward downstairs, to her Michael and his friend.

This man was huge. Like body on point; smile on 100, presence alluring and intoxicating. Just everything about him exuded dominance and power. The way the grey long sleeve cotton shirt, hugged his biceps in all the right ways. He just looked like a tall delicious looking, white chocolate teddy bear. Where have I seen him before?

“Geneva, I’m sure you know-” Michael was cut off abruptly, by our eager attitudes.

“Genevieve Shaw.”

“Florian Munteanu. Oh we’ve met before.” I had a smirk plastered on my face. Everyone, excluding him and Michael, was confused. The memory was coming back to me now, from the beginning of Creed II promo shoot.

I was hired, along with Cynthia, to do the makeup and therapy for the movie. That was so long ago I had completely forgot about it, clearly Florian hadn’t.

“You didn’t tell me, she was your cousin.” Florian’s thick accent, and yet slight arrogant facial expression reminded me why I didn’t go for his advances at first. He made a bet with her best friend Leon, that he could get my number by the time the Creed II press was over.

It didn’t work out because I overheard and stopped all the bull before it went down.

“I thought you knew. She is the reason why you aren’t hurting anymore.” Michael pointed out.

“True. No need to pull a hamstring.” The joking tone from Florian did nothing but increase the annoyance. The roll of my amber brown eyes was a notice enough.

“I told you I don’t date actors, and athletes. But since you’re my cousin I’ll indulge.” A slight shrug and a nod was enough for Michael. Then an idea came to mind, two could play that game.

“How about this, Munteanu. Follow me real quick.” Signaling him to follow me out the floor to get ready for the countdown. Hearing my friends and Michael’s cheer behind us.

Seeing all the women, and a few men, glance at him as he bobbed and weaved through the crowd to follow me, made me feel powerful a bit.

“Since the new year will happen in approximately 2 min, I’m feeling generous. What do you say to a bet? Sound familiar?” Sipping my champagne from the flute, while moving from side to side to the music, it got his attention.

“A bet huh? It does ring a bell. What did you have in mind?” There’s that smirk again. Get it together Geneva.

“If you’re actually interested in me, no bullshit and show initiative, maybe I’ll go out with you. I don’t move to new York to play games Munteanu. You may be fine, but you sure as hell ain’t about to waste my time. Deal?” With an arch of my left brow, I meant business.

He was shocked at how forward I was, but slightly turned on at the same time. He seemed like he was always up for challenge.

“Deal.”

He clinked his glass with mine as the countdown began at 10 seconds. The look in his eyes seemed eager as he inches closer to me, closing the distance between us. The height ratio was actually pleasant; 6’4 to 5’8. Thank god for platform heels. Feeling his body heat on mine at the final 5 seconds, I came up with a tactic.

“Happy New Year!!”

Florian thought he was gonna kiss me, but I stopped him by placing my hand on his chiseled chest. Causing a sweet laugh go escape my full lips.

“Slow ya roll. The bet starts now, happy new year.” Sending a wink his way, I left him there speechless and engulfed in confetti, fo join my friends back in the VIP area. Earning a high five from Cynthia and Destiny.

The year was going to be a good one.
