Chapter 30 Choosing Time

Ray

        I was sitting on the couch in the living room watching TV, but I wasn't really paying attention to it. Instead I was thinking about Kye. His birthday was in two days and I don't know if we're going to celebrate it here or in Miami. He said the case should be over today or tomorrow and he still has yet to call ever since our last date. I know the date was only yesterday and I'm making it seem like an eternity that what it feels like. 

       Pretty soon I hear my phone ring on the table. I pick it up and it was just the man I wanted to talk to.

       "Hey, Kye," I answer.

       "Hey, Ray. How are you?" he says.

       "I'm great. I'm glad to finally hear your voice after last night."

       He laughed and I did too. "Well you're really about to be glad when I tell you that the case is over. For now at least. We've decided to put Reginald Dawson on trial and I have to be back in New York September 5. But at least I get to spend time with you until then. And they said I can leave tonight." 

      "That's great, Kye. Are you leaving tonight so I can be sure?" I ask.

      "Yes, I am and I want you to come with me." 

      I stuttered. "W-what? Y-you want me to come with you? I mean how are we getting out of here tonight?" 

      "The courts set it up to where I can leave tonight. All you have to do is pack your bags and meet me at JFK and we are ready to board. Or I could come pick you up from your friend's house."

      "No! I mean he can drive me over there. He should be getting off of work right now anyway," I said.

       "Okay that's fine. The plane leaves at nine. What time do you think you can get there?"

       I thought about it, but then I really don't have too much to pack. "I can be there an hour before the plane leaves. Is it a private jet or public?"

     "Private," he answered immediately. "And have your friend drop you off at the private entrance. It's close to the South gate behind some trees to make it secretive but there's a gate in front of them. Just tell the security you're with me and he'll let you in."

     "Okay. Got it. I'll see you in about three hours."

     "Alright, Ray. I'll see you. I love you."

     "I love you too," I said back. After saying 'bye' I put my phone down on the table and rushed off the couch and upstairs to go to the bathroom. 

     I went into the room I was staying in and rushed into the bathroom. I closed the door and stripped off my clothes and turned on the shower. I used the toilet first and then hopped in getting clean. After about five minutes I got out and brushed my teeth and washed my face. Walking into the room I find some black and white nylon Nike shorts and a plain white t-shirt. I put on some lotion, deodorant, and some cologne before putting on a pair of boxers and putting on what I was going to wear. I took my hair out of my two braids since I really don't like wearing it two braids anymore. I prefer to wear it down and out. 

     Finished getting dressed I pack up whatever that I had out into my suitcase. I go downstairs and put it by the door and that's when Prod came in from work.

     "Hey Ray," he said casually as he put the keys on the table next to the door. 

     "Hey Prod," I reply. I walk back up the stairs to check to see if I miss anything and that's when I hear footsteps following behind me.
