New Beginning

CHAPTER THIRTY

We're almost home and I'm crying onthe inside. I missed my kids so much, but damn I just wanted to drag Chris right along with me. I'm going to miss waking up to him, laying with him, and seeing him consistently.

"What's wrong boo," Chris nudged me a little.

"I don't want to leave you," I whined looking him in the eyes. "I love it here."

He laughed looking down. "You love it here? Shit, I love it here too. I wish we could've stayed another week."

"Me too," I sighed. I grabbed his hand fiddling with his fingers. "I guess I can wait until Valentines Day then. What are we going to do?"

"Lady, please stop asking me that. I said it was a surprise."

"Ughhh, fine. I'm going to surprise you too then. How about that?"
"I say, come with it," he kissed my forehead.
"Y'all so cute," Naomi smiled. August was leaning on her shoulders completely knocked out. "What if you guys are soulmates?"

Chris pondered on the thought. "I would accept that. Our paths aligned for a reason."

"I feel the same way," Naomi agreed. "I believe everything is happening for a reason and that reason is now."

"We shall see," August spoke startling us. His eyes were still closed though.

"Nigga, what the fuck aint you sleep," Chris asked.

"I am. I'm communicating to y'all through my dreams."
"Boy fuck outta here. You can get this big ass head off of me now. You done made my arm fall asleep."

"Damn bae , why you handle me like that?"
We all laughed before it grew quiet again. Maybe Naomi was right, maybe this was the start of something new.

"Get the paparazzi outta here mane," August told his security big T. We could not afford for people to be taking pictures. Well,I definitely couldn't.

"We on it," T said as they got off the plane before us. When it was all cleared out that's when we got off. Chris helped me with all my bags then he gather his.
"Okay that looks like the last one babe," he said looking back at me. I could feel tears form in my eyes. I don't know if I was being dramatic or what, but damn he just didn't know how much I was going to miss him. "Are you about to cry Raya? Don't do that."
"I just don't want to leave you. You're like my comfort in a person," I hugged him tightly. To be honest he felt like "home".

"One day this will be a forever thing. I'll be with you soon," he said talking in my ear. I only nodded, trying to hold on to this moment as long as I could. It was finally time for us to break apart. Naomi and I were riding together so she could take me home. I kissed Chris once more then we finally broke apart.
My baby.

Chris Brown

"Damn, y'all niggas look like y'all in love," August accused with a smirk. I rubbed my face with a sigh.

"We in something man," I told him. "I really like her though. I just don't know what to expect."

"Yeah, you in some complicated shit. She looks like she makes you happy though. I want y'all niggas together pronto. Fuck that other lame ass nigga."

"Hell yeah."

"I'll beat that niggas ass holding my brudda's woman captive like that," he said in all seriousness. I laughed shaking my head.

"You a fool boy. I aint worried bout dude. That's gone be all me one day."

"That's what I like to hear."

When I got home I sighed. It was so quiet besides when my dogs greeted me at the door.
"What's up my boys," I squatted down trying to pet each one of them. They were jumping around trying to get the most attention. "Y'all ready to eat?"

"I already fed them," my mom appeared out of no where.
"Dang mama you scared me. I didn't know you were still here."
"You thought I was going to leave without seeing my baby. I haven't seen you in like a month. Come give me a hug,"
I came embraced my mom in a big hug because I did miss her.
"Aaawww my angel," she exclaimed as she rocked us back and forth. "So how was your vacation?"

"It was perfect ma. I had a really great time," I told her placing dog food in their bowls.

"I see. Looks like you got a tan too," she pointed out. "Was it just you and August or?"
I knew where she was headed with the convo. My mom is so ready for me to find a "nice girl", settle down, and give her some more grand babies.

"No, it was August, August's date, a friend of mine, and myself."

"A friend," my mama could've got whiplash as quickly as she turned her neck. "A lady friend?"

"Yes ma, a lady friend," I rolled my eyes. She clapped her hands in delight.

"Oh honey, that's so great. Is your laaady friend the reason why you enjoyed your trip so much?"

"Maaaaybe," I stretched out the word making her smile even harder.

"Alright I get it. You're grown. You don't have to tell your mama everything," she threw up her hands. "I just hope this friend of yours sticks around long enough for me to meet her."
"She will. I feel real good about this one," I spoke confidently. She better stick around. Because after all, I just want to love her ass.
"That makes me so happy to hear baby. You just don't know."
My mom kept me company for a little while. She also cooked me enough food to last damn near the whole week. I've been trying to refrain from hitting up Raya all day, just so I wouldn't seem clingy. I missed her though. Being alone, just makes me feel... alone. I want to be in Raya's presence allowing her to do the most annoying shit like randomly suck on my cheek or mush my lips together into weird ass shapes. Her ass was so weird, but I liked all of that. Just thinking about how that lame ass nigga got something like that at home makes me so envious. I swear if it wasn't for him I would've made Raya mine already. Straight cuffed, throw away the key, then bury it type shit. Raya's a vibe unmatched. Plus, she's a freak. Baby girl had a nigga's head gone this whole week. I gotta win her heart. I'll do anything to prove to her that the love would be real. I want to change her whole life. I just need the key and she could leave the rest to me. That's my baby. Damn man, I'm falling at a dangerous speed.

I know. This chapter was short and boring. Sorry 😅 but awww, isn't the way Chris feels about Raya so pure 🥺 we love to see it!
