The Dream Team

41: will you...

Raegan's POV

We had been back from the islands for a week and I was grateful my life went back to normal for the most part. I had missed Keith so much on the trip I was so happy to get home to him. I didn't tell him about the kiss I shared with Jiles yet and I wasn't sure if I was going to at all. There was so much history with Jiles and the two of us shared two kids, I knew that he knew a kiss means a lot when you love someone like that. For the time being I was just trying to enjoy the time I had with him when the kids were gone and focus on doing things that made me happy.

"Whatchu thinkin' bout?" Keith asked, placing a hand on my thigh as he drove.

"Nothing, I'm just a little tired," I lied. I definitely wasn't sharing what I was actually thinking about. He was on his way to get a haircut and I wanted to tag along with him since I always loved going to the barbershop with my uncles and cousins. All my girl friends said I was weird for it but the barbershop was such a fun place to me.

I stared out the window, still deep in thought when my phone started ringing. I pulled it out of my purse and saw Isaac's name, surprised it wasn't Jiles calling about the kids.

"Big Ike, what up," I joked when I answered the phone. He started to talk then looked at me, squirting his eyes.

"Who you with?" he asked.

"Keith," I spoke calmly. Everyone knew I had been seeing Keith and Kyle and Jayden had even met him before. Isaac chose not to come around when he was present out of respect for Jiles which I understood.

"Sup, Keith," he said and I turned the camera to him so he could say hi back.

"What's going on, man?" Keith smiled.

"Man, I had to call Rae cuz I'm tryna plan something big. Like BIG big," I turned the camera back to me, getting excited because I already had a feeling of what it was. "Ima propose to Kyle soon, I need your best friend/female advice and help," I let out a scream and Keith jumped some but kept driving, laughing at me.

"I've been waiting! I thought you were gonna ask in the islands but you didn't come to me for help so I was confused," I laughed. I expected him to pop the question during one of our dinner nights but it never came up.

"I wanted to but the ring wasn't ready in time. The shop just hit me and let me know it's ready for pick up. So now I gotta start planning how I'm going to ask," he spoke and I couldn't contain my excitement. I danced around in my seat, happy this was finally happening.

"I'll brainstorm and maybe pick Kyle's brain some to see what she's thinking. I'm sure she'll want everyone there though, you know she's extra,"

I got off the phone with him a few minutes later, just in time to pull up to the barbershop. Keith helped me out of the car and held the door open for me as I walked into the shop and I felt everyone's attention turn to us.

"Not Keith brought his boo thang to the shop," one of the barbers said, laughing. Keith walked over and shook him up before sitting in the chair. "What's your name beautiful?" he asked, looking over at me. I was sitting in one of the chairs in the waiting area and watching ESPN on the TV.

"My name's Raegan," I smiled.

"I'm Chris, it's nice to meet you. I'm the one who keeps your man looking fresh, thank me," he said, smiling.

"I don't know, his shit been looking a lil off the last few times he came here," I joked. Keith, Chris, and the other barbers all laughed and started getting on Chris.

"You fucking my nigga Keith up?" one of the barbers laughed.

"Nah, Rae tryna show out. She love my hair, she know my shit be clean all the time," Keith added. I smirked, knowing it was true. He always kept up with his appearance, especially his hair.
