Star Crossed (Chris Brown)

Rae'lynn POV

Tonight, we were having a crew get together. Nothing major, just some drinks, food and music. I jumped in the shower real quick, just to freshen up and soon got back out. I did the rest of my hygiene and started to choose and outfit. I swear this is the hardest part of my day .. everyday. I decided on dark high waisted shorts, a white lace bralette top, a black and flower patterned long kimono and all white Forces.

My hair was back in its natural curly state so I left it like that and just sprayed some curl control. For my makeup, I just did my foundation, brows and red lipstick. I put on a silver chain, some diamond studs in and sprayed my perfume. I grabbed my purse and left the house.

I hopped in my car and turned on the radio. I sang along to "Don't" by Bryson Tiller. I love this song.

It only took about twenty minutes to get to Chris' house. I got out of the car and went to the door. I could already hear the music from the outside. I rung the doorbell and waited. Finally after like 5 minutes, Chris opened the door.

"Baaaaabbbyyyy!" He sung and hugged me.

I hugged him back and gave him a kiss. "Hey boo!"

He took my hand and we walked inside. The house was empty except for the kitchen that was full of food. He led me out back to the deck where everybody was.

As soon as they saw me, I heard a mixture of 'Rae!', 'Wassup?', and 'Hey girl'. I said hey back to everybody but I ran over to Andrea.

"Baby mama!!" I hugged her and she hugged me back. "I missed you girl."

"I missed you too .. you can't call nobody?" She said, imitating Jerome from Martin.

I laughed. "Girl, I just talked to you yesterday."

We continued talking until we heard someone clearing their throat behind us. It was no one other than Chris.

"Excuse me, I heard something about baby mothers.." He said with his eyebrow raised.

"Oh, you ain't know Chris? Rae is declared my baby mama." I just shook my head. The nickname came from like two years ago. I was FaceTiming her and I had just broken up with my second boyfriend and I was a little bummed. Andrea could tell and to cheer me up she said, "Well, if it so happens that you don't find anybody, I volunteer to be your baby mother forever." We just laughed and it stuck. That's what I love about Andrea. Her funny personality can make you feel like everything is right with the world.

Chris wrapped his arms around my waist from behind and placed his chin on top of my head. "Well, all I know is that Rae will only have my children." He stuck his tongue out. I slightly blushed.

"We'll see about that." Andrea rolled her eyes.

I broke away from them and went inside to the kitchen. My mouth watered at the sight of all the food that was laid out. On my plate, I put a hot dog, chicken kabob, mac & cheese and fruit salad. I grabbed a strawberry cooler from the fridge and went back outside. I don't drink that much, like on a daily basis, just when I party or things like this.

Everybody was separated; women and men. The guys were sitting in chairs near the grill and the girls were sitting on two facing couches near the pool. The backyard was set up like levels. The deck was wood with chairs, couches, the grill and other decorative things. Off the deck was three steps leading to the pool that was full sized, rectangular and surrounded by brick flooring.

I went and sat with the girls on a couch in between Chyna and Andrea. Soon, we all engaged in conversation.

"Man, Chyna, I'm trying to get like you." Heather whined. Michael and Chyna were already married and had King. They were a little older than us; Michael being 26 & Chyna being 25 almost turning 26. The rest of the crew were 24 and 25, except for me, I was still 23. Anyway, they did seem to already have an amazing life.
