Riah POV
So we have made it here. The hotel is nice asl and our room is a presidential suite so everyone can be together. The suite is very clean with a view that's gorgeous, of the whole Bahamas. Everybody was unpacking in their rooms and settling in. Me and Tommie were on our balcony checking out the scenery smelling the great ocean breeze.
"It looks beautiful bae don't it?" Tommie had asked me while holding my waist.
"Yes bae, breathe taking. I'm glad we took this opportunity to go on a vacation."
"Me too baby. Our suite is raw asl and the view."
"You thinking what I'm thinking?"
"Have sex on the beach at night so nobody would see?"
"No silly. I was thinking have sex on the balcony." We just laughed and kissed each other.
"Bestie!" Jessica was knocking at out room door. I went over to answer it. I opened the door and she had drinks in her hand.
"Here y'all go. The first drinks of the night, made by yours truly." I took the drinks out her hand and gave one to Tommie. We cheered then drunk our drinks.
"James pouring up some tequila shots in the kitchen. So come on out her and come take some shots." Jessica said before closing the door behind her.
"I forgot how our friends get down to drinking."
"I know right let's drink these drinks and go take some shots baby." I told Tommie. We walked out to the kitchen area to my surprise everyone about to take shots.
"Let's me just say this, I love all of you guys, we had a hell of a year together as being friends and family. I'm so thankful that we are reunited finally back together. & let's make this another great year again like this last year. Let's turn df up like we used to back in Chicago, right here in the Bahamas!!!!" I gave a hell of a great speech. We all took our shots then a couple more shots.
"We love you too Riah!!!"
" I love you more bae." Tommie gave me the biggest kiss and hug ever.
"James pour up some more shots." He did.
After drinking we turned on the speakers to dance. Money Bagg Yo Ft Gunna {Dior} played loudly throughout the whole suite. As you know we didn't even come to play. I started dancing with Tommie when she handed me her kart to smoke. I was just smoking away feeling myself. Que rolled up a big ass blunt, that thang looks like a elephant trunk."Bae am I too high or did Que just rolled up a big ass tree trunk?" She just laughed at me.
"Yea babe that's a giant leaf. To put a oz of weed in it to roll it and smoke." She laughed and took her kart back from me to smoke it.
"How do y'all be getting weed through the airport like that? Hell pass them TSA dogs?"
"Vacuum zeal sis," Que just told me.
"Now come on everybody, come sit on the couch and smoke this fat ass Bahama blunt with me and Jessica." We all came to sit down together.
"Bestie let me find out."
"What?! Since everyone spilt up, me and my baby been real 420 happy gays. We live in L.A that's the highest capital city." She just laughed.
"Well damn we gotta come visit, so Tommie can get some weed." Tommie and Que shook hands. Que lite the blunt passing it to Jessica.
"Now I know y'all don't smoke weed, I know this but imma get y'all high today cus it's Friday, y'all ain't got no jobs and y'all ain't got shit to do. Naw I'm just playing y'all but take 4 puff and pass it." Jessica passed it to me I took my puffs and passed it to Tommie.
"Ma bae do gotta job but imma let her tell y'all what it is." Tommie passed the leaf to James.
"We bestie and Que. Rachel and James already know because we found out we all been living in the same state together but I'm a firefighter now guys." James passed it to Rachel but was helping her to hold it.
"What!!" They both said in unison.
"Wait bestie where at?"
"I work for the Miami Fire Department."
"Wait so y'all live in the 305?" Jessica asked us.
" Yes bestie and I rescued Rachel and James the night that Reign was born."
"How the fuck! Why the needed rescuing?"
"James do you want me to tell them or you?" Rachel said to James.
"Well I'll maybe tell it nicely. Umm so I was cooking for Rachel...."
"He beating around the bush, he was baking my bread sticks and baking a damn pizza. Fell asleep the whole muthafuckin shit burned and caught on fire, meanwhile my pregnant ass sleep in the room and I wake up coughing and choking to smoke then the smoke detectors were going off. I'm yelling his name, he out there trying be Riah a fire fighter, putting water on shit that turned into a electoral fire. So I called 9-1-1 and told them fool tryna kill me and my baby. Then I passed the fuck out."
"The fire fighters made it there and everything was bad for real. We tried to get James stubborn ass out of there and his pregnant girlfriend to the ambulance truck. So we did and didn't even know who they was yet. Until the paramedics resuscitate Rachel and she noticed me and called...."
"My damn friend name because she is a damn miracle worker and my savior. I will never forget what you did for me and your niece." Rachel started tearing up, that's when me and Jessica came over to her hugging her.
"Damn James ma boa pizza nigga? Where this leaf at?.. oh here it goes." Que lite the leaf back up and we started smoking again. "You need dominoes number or papa John nem number folks? Like damn what a divine timing foe that little Reign was born."
"That's her middle name." James said to Que.
"I know it is my nigga! Tommie where was you foe?" Que asked Tommie.
"Folks I was at home sleeping when Riah called me crying then she said meet them at the hospital." Que passed the leaf to Tommie.
"It's going to be okay Rach." I wiped my tears.
"Now you see why I didn't want to leave my baby Jessica? I have bad anxiety from the night she was born. I didn't want to leave my baby."
"I understand Rachel babes." Jessica said wiping her and Rachel tears. Tommie had passed the leaf to James.
"I need some more liquor." Jessica said. Us three went into the kitchen with Jessica.
