Coming Out

Chapter Fourteen

Media: Rayla and Carmens balcony

Carmen POV

"Rise and shine ladies!"

The sun shown throughout the bedroom and I was blinded by the light. Someone was opening the curtains.

I groaned and pulled the comforter over my head.

"Uh uhh, get up you two." Kaci shook her head.

The comforter was suddenly yanked from over my body and I immediantly cuddled into Rayla.

"C'mon ma." Rayla lifted me off the bed and to the open window where Kaci had went.

It was 10 a.m. but I was feeling the rush from last-night and I was beyond tired.

Kaci led us to the balcony to chat but I already knew what today was.

Wednesday. Bachelorette Party.

We sat on one couch facing Kaci who sat on the opposite couch.

"So, being here on the beach, tropical luau theme of course." Kaci handed us two large mugs.

The coffee was delicious and richer than anything I've ever drunk before. I sighed as the warm liquid hit my tongue.

"Starts at 8:00 P.M. but you two need to be in there at 7:45." She gave us serious looks. "Aeriona will be here at 5:30 to make sure that you look your best because press will want tons of pictures of the new popular couple."

I smiled at the mention of Aeriona, she did miracles to my face and I liked her because she was a chill person.

"Got it." Rayla gave her a thumbs up.

"Alright, freshen up ladies, brunch starts at 11." Kaci stood from the couch and started walking back towards the window.
                                    ...

"Nice to meet you Mr. Willingham." I held my hand out to one of the richest men ever. Who just so happened to me my future uncle.

"Oh please! Call me Uncle Tyson!" He pulled me and Rayla into a big unexpected bear hug.

We all laughed and Kaci got a cute photo of the moment to upload to our instagram page.

We followed Uncle Tyson to the large dining room

It was very modern with a white and black theme. There were ten comfortable seats awaiting us.

Untouched place mats were perfectly arranged and one wall was made of completely glass, showing off the beautiful ocean view.

Before I could compliment the room, three men were carrying out trays  that filled the area with delicious scents.

We all took seats, me next to Rayla, Kaci in front of me next to Mariah, and Tyson at the end.

After setting down the trays, one by one lifting up the lids to show off more food then I've ever seen.

Waffles drizzled with syrup, freshly scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, hot sausage, and tons of fruit.

One of the men asked us our drink orders and brought them out in seconds.

"Wow." I said, as the man sat the tall glass of orange juice in front of me.

Tyson quickly said grace and it was time to dig in.

We all laughed and ate together like we had known each other forever.

For once, I felt like I belonged. Like I was meant to be a part of this family.
