This Is Me ( stud x fem )

Chapter 12 - Slow Motion

Summer
This is too much for me! Ray is a drug dealer, a good one at that, she's now living in my house with her three friends, and she has a fucking kid! Woo! This is a lot to take in. Is it sad that I wish we never met?
I aporoach Ray's babymama's, Christina's, house. I knock on the door.
Some woman opens the door with a cigarette in hand. She looks about twenty-five with long silly hair and she's about five inches taller than me, so shes like 5'7. I think she's Hispanic and Black... Mostly Hispanic though.
"Uhm.." I start. "I'm looking for Christina."
She rolls her eyes. "This me. Who's asking?"
My eyes widen. What the hell? This lady looks seven years older than Ray! Ray is eighteen. I clear my throat. "Oh.. I'm Ray's friend, and I'm here to get Ray's daughter."
Christina laughs. "So, you Ray's new bitch, huh?"
I debate in shaping the motherfucker. That's disrespectful, but I remember why I'm here. "Where is she?"
She rubs her finger in my crossed arms. "You know all Ray do is sell dreams, right? She gone get in your pretty little panties and your pretty little pussy and your pretty little head and then... That's over with."
I laugh. "Thanks for looking out, but i can handle myself th-"
Christina scoffs. "Girl, you don't look old enough to drive, let alone taking care of yourself." She rolls her eyes. "The young ones are anyways stupid as fuck! It pisses me off." She pushes me away hard.
Oh, hell no! "Bitch, fuck you. Where's the kid? Don't disrespect me."
"She aint here!" she lies. "And what you gone do, pretty?" Christina blows smoke in my face!
Fuck that! I grab the bitch my her hair to pull her down to my height and start raming her ass in the face with my fists. "Don't. Fucking. Disrespect. Me. Cougar." I'm beating the plum shut out of her.
Ray walks up and holds me back. Dee is holding Christina. Ray turns me around and hugs me. "Baby you okay?" she asks.
I look at Christina and spit at her. "Yea. Your bitch ass babymama's obviously still in love with you and don't give a fuck about that baby."
Ray rocks me back and forth, calming me down. "I know baby, but you got me. And Raylynn? Raylynn is all mine!"
Christina rolls her eyes. "Don't raise my child to be no dyke! Gay ass."
Ray let's me go and is approaching Christina while I'm holding her back. "Look here, bitch. You wanted a baby by my gay ass so I must be pretty damned special and you must me pretty damned gay, too."
I'm holding Ray back. "Baby... Baby stop."
Everybody's outside watching the scene.
Ray smacks her lips. "Bitch, do you even care about our daughter?"
Christina laughs and rolls her eyes. "She mine, ain't it? I keep her, don't I?"
Ray is really trying to break out of my grip. Jae comes to helo me. "I don't take care of me because you won't let me!" Ray screams, dropping tears from anger.
Christina laughs her evil laugh. "Take her. I don't give a fuck about that baby!"
Everything is silent. I don't notice why until I look at the doorway, and there stands who I assume Raylynn.
Raylynn's crying. "Mommy you don't want me?"
Christina lies," Of course I do baby."
Raylynn's bags are packed behind her. She's crying. "I hate you Cwistiana! You're not my mommy anymowee! You let dat man out his fwinger in my pawrts." The crowd gasps. I'm frozen. Ray's angry. I rub her back calming her down so she doesn't murder someone.
Mo approaches Raylynn. Raylynn runs into Mo's arms. "It's okay honey. Aunt T Mo is here."
I let go of Ray who is in shock, and Dee lets go of Christina who now runs over to Raylynn.
"Raylynn baby?" Christina says. "Mommy loves you. Mommy just hates Daddy."
Raylynn's head is still buried in Mo's chest. "Well, I hate you! I love my Diddy! Go away, Cwistiana. You not my mommy anymowee."
Christina's dramatic ass runs in the house crying. The crowd disperses.
Ray walks over to Raylynn. "BabyGirl?"
"DIDDY!" Raylynn yells, as she runs in Ray's arms. "Diddy, I want to go to your house."
Ray nods. "Come on, Babygirl."
Raylynn grabs Ray's finger and they walk to the passenger's side of the car.
"Dee... Get RayRay's bags."
Once we're in the car and everybody is settled (Dee, Mo, and Jae in the backseat, Ray in the drivers seat with Raylynn in her lap, and me in the passenger's seat) Ray starts the car.
"RayRay?" Ray calls. "I got to drive BabyGirl. Go sit in Summer's lap."
Raylynn's half asleep. "Hey Summer," she says as she climbs over.
I chuckle at her boldness. "Hey, cutie."
"You're weally pwetty," Raylynn says.
Ray laughs at her daughter.
I do too. "Thanks, honey."
Raylynn yawns. "Diddy?"
"Yes?" Ray drones.
"Your giwlfwiend is weally nice." Raylynn smiles up at me with her droopy eyes. "She's a keeper."
Everybody in the car laughs.
Raylynn falls asleep on my chest. The squad is alseep in the back.
Ray laughs randomly.
"What is it," I ask.
Ray smiles over at me. "Raylynn hates every girl I talk to... And you come along and she loves you immediately."
I blush. "Hmn... I don't know."
Ray touches my hand. "So.... You love me, eh?"
I sigh. "I don't know Ray. You... You got so much shit going on. And I do too. And you're a drug dealer. And a gangbanger. And you're a player. And you have a baby. And-"
Ray stood at a red light ona barren road. "That's not my question. "Summer... I love you. I know my emotions. I just don't know yours. So, do you, Summer Seasons, love me, Ray Robinson?"
I pause for a moment...
Yes
"Yes."
Ray smirks. "Yes, what?"
"Yes... I love you," I respond.
"Summer... Will you be my girl?" Ray asks, and it catches me off gaurd.
"Uh....."
Ray smiles at me nervously.
"Ray..." I start. "I know my feelings for you are hella strong.. But everything is going too fast for me. I-I...." I rub the backside of my hand against her face. "I want to love you in slow motion."
Ray's silent.
I knew it. "Well... Ray? Can I?"
Ray leans over and kisses me for a while.
I feel that spark. That feeling. That... That perfection.
Ray pulls away biting her lip. God, she's sexy. "Can I do that if we're loving in slow motion?"
I chuckle. "Yes, nigga." We both laugh. "So...? Can I?" I ask. "Can I love you in slow motion?"
Ray nods. "Yes, Summer. You can love me in slow motion." She kisses my cheek.
We grab hands as the light turns green. That's a sign, I think.
Slow motion.
