Tell Me You Love Me

Zonnique POV

"Beep! Beep! Beep!", rang my alarm and I rolled over to smack the the snooze button as the clock read 1:30 p.m.

"Okay, okay I'm up", I swear my alarm hates me. I mentally reminded myself that I really don't need to do anymore late night studio sessions with the girls. Yes, the girls as in Bre and Bahja, you remember Starbucks right? We made up, well before we made up there was obviously mad tension between me and her and the group didn't need that. After all, I was tryna get this shmoney.

I reminded myself that August and I are going out to eat later on tonight.  I also remembered to stop by my other job, I'm a vocal coach for kids from ages 5-13 at Sapphire Studios. Sapphire Studios is made up of a dance studio, a recording studio, an art studio, a gym with a basketball court, a sports bar, a theater room, and there's even a pool section with waiters and cabanas. Basically, a persons dream. The girls and I recorded there last night. The boys use Sapphire's too and other famous artists like Kehlani, SZA, Diggy, even August, and so fourth.

I decide to check up on my Instagram timeline really quick. Well, quick turned into half an hour until I finally put the phone down, got off the bed and got my clothes ready. Then forced myself into the shower. Almost an hour later I came out, dried off, did my hygiene and put my hair in a curly bun. Then, I put on a black crop top plastered with pink hearts, black shorts that were shorter than usual, and the shoes consisted of pink and black griffeys. I slipped in hoop earrings that said Zonnique in cursive along the center, finally the look was topped off with a black diamond belly ring.

I took one last look into the mirror, then headed outside to my car and locked the front door behind me. As soon as I got into the car I slammed the door shut, put my seat belt on, stuck my key in, revved the engine then sped off blasting YG  "This Yick". Someday I think I'm gonna get a ticket, just not today. I quickly arrived at Sapphire's, because I thrive to see these kids faces. I cut the car off, grabbed my purse and locked my car as I was walking toward the building's doors. When I stepped into the lobby I greeted the always lightened-mood receptionist, Kameron.

"Kam!", I greeted with a genuine smile.

She returned the smile back and cheered, "Hey babes", we exchanged hugs and then she got to business

"Okay, you're gonna have seven kids today. And then you'll rap it up at about.. um, 7:20 to go meet with Sasha. "

By the way, Sasha is the owner and our boss. Sasha named the place after her daughter Sapphire, who's ten years young and attends here to become a musical prodigy. Also, Kam is bisexual and has a four year old daughter named Akari.

"Only seven, are you sure?", I questioned with shock.

"Yup, I'm afraid so baby cakes", she replied popping the 'p'. With that I told her that I'll see her after my shift and left to mentor a student.

As I walked down the hall I could've sworn I saw someone with baggy jean joggers, a dark blue shirt with cut off sleeves, olive green jacket around their waist, and black timbs. It fit Ray's dirty ass description perfectly, not to mention the guy had long wavy hair like him. I was convinced it was him.

Preceeding after the mystery guy, I heard a voice that resembled Craig's then it topped everything off for me once the voice said, "one, two, three", and a slow bass beat smacked through the surround speakers sensually.
