:. Ray.:

"Do you even know how to skate?" I questioned.

"I'm pretty good at it. I'm not the best."

"Oh I know you aren't the best. At least not with me in your presence." I stopped the car since we were at a red light.

"Boy whatever. You probably don't know shit." She mocked. She reached over and turned up the radio. By the way her eyes lit up, you could tell she loved the song that was about to play.

"Omg!! This is like one of my favorite songs by him!" She squealed. It was Slow by JL ft. OMG. It was aight.

"Babydoll. OMG. You gotta take it slow if you wanna get with me. Jacob Latimore. Perfect gentleman. Don't speed it up, just ride the beat, cuz we gon take it slow." She started

I decided I'd sing along with her.

"Hey, how you doin? What's your name? Don't think I've seen you around here. Where you from? Wanna know you girl. Are you taken? All these things about ya. I just gotta know. You caught my eye attention girl. You ain't lettin go." I joined.

"This girl is mysterious I, wanna get to know her. Ain't never met no one before. Like I know she's out the ordinary. Can't help I wanna get to know ya let's go slow." She sang.

The light turned green and as we were driving, you could see the skating rink in the distance.

"We can go slow. Ah ah. Cause I'm really feelin ya. And I really wanna get to know ya. We can go slow ah ah. Cause I'm really feelin ya. And I really wanna get to know ya. Slow ah ah. Yeah slow. Ah ah. Yeah slow ah ah. Yeah slow oohhhh ohhhaaa." We harmonized.

By then we had reached the place. I had found a parking spot and turned off the car.

"You know, you have a very beautiful singing voice. You could do some big things with it." I said. I got out the car and into the hot sun. Thankfully its usually cool in skating rinks. I walked over to her side and took her hand. Once she got out I closed her door and we began walking to the building.

"Big things like what? I never thought I could sing that good." She shrugged.

"Are you kidding? Your voice is one of the most beautiful I've ever heard. And like getting yourself out there. Making an image for yourself. You could go far." I opened up the door for her as she walked inside.

"Roller blades or 4 wheels?" I asked her.

"4 wheel." She said. I got us our skates and we sat down to Tie them on.

"Thanks. But I don't see myself singing. I don't think I could do it. Everybody watching, eyes on you. Only you. If you mess up everyone will know. I'd rather do something smaller." She had just finished tying her first skate. She grabbed her other one and slipped her foot inside.

"It's actually not that bad. Once you get on the stage all your nerves go away and you just be you. Let loose and have fun. You'll do perfect every time." I gave her a light smile as I stood up. As she tried to stand up with me she tripped a little, but I caught her.

I lead her over to the floor as I took her hand to let her keep balance. I put her in front me as I slowly skated.

"You think you got it?" I asked slowly releasing my grip.

"I know how to skate boy!" She exclaimed. She released from my grip and sped off ahead.

"Oh hell no! I ain't Finna let some girl try and outshine me." I quickly sped up nearly catching up to her until she moved faster. I quickened my paste until I eventually passed her. I skated around Until I was behind her. I turned around so I was skating backwards, and when I came close to her I whispered in her ear.

"Meet me on the bench." I gave her a sly smirk as she rolled her eyes. I turned back around and found a bench to rest on, as I waited for her. She finally reached me and she sat down beside me.

"Took you Long enough." I teased.

"Shut the fuck up Ray. And gimme your sweater it's fucking cold in here. No games either." She demanded. I took my sweater off my body and handed it to her. When she put it on it looked SO big on her. I fell over laughing at here, with real nigga tears falling from my eyes.

"And what's so funny?"

"You look so damn tiny in that thing!" I laughed.

"I can't help I'm a fucking midget and you're the tallest one in the group. I remember when your were so short. I swear if I knew you then I would've passed you." She gigged.

"But look at me now. The tall man of yo dreams."

"Who lied to you?"

"Um nobody. Remember yesterday when I came over and you were like. They ditched me to go hang with their Bfs and the guy I'm totally in love with." I put my hand on my hip and started mimicking her voice.

"I do NOT talk like that!" She yelled.

She started staring straight ahead and I looked to see what it was. There, a group of fans were coming right towards us.

"Aw shit!" She mumbled. She scooted closer to me so there was no space between us.

"Why you scared? They're just fans." I reasoned

"Did you forget I'm still in TM? We're fucking vicious! Especially when we see one of y'all with a girl. Ion feel like getting verbally abused!" She whispered.

"We'll I hope you're ready." I said.

The fans caught up to us and started screaming. I couldn't understand shit they were saying. Des looked down at her lap to avoid eye contact.

"Who's that?" One girl said with attitude. I saw Des make a face.

"Wait. Isn't? Isn't that the same girl you were with last night. Des lifted up her head and we looked at the fan who said that. Some of these girls were in the theater with us last night.

"Uh... this is one of my good friends." I said.

"Uh uh. Y'all more than that. Gotta be. Look how close y'all sittin together y'all Datin aren't y'all." She accused. I was beginning to feel uncomfortable. I love the fans, but they always tryna be in our personal lives. I'm just a normal person, I like my privacy just like everyone else.

"We're not dating! God damn! It's possible for him to be good friends with a girl. It's fucking normal! So please shut the fuck up with that shit! Just get your autographs and pictures and get the hell away." Des blurted.

"Who the fuck you talkin to like that bitch!"

"Who else hoe? Who motherfucking else? Nah you mistaking me for one of those chicks that won't say shit or do shit. NOH. I'll beat your Ass in a fucking heartbeat if need be. I advise you to get you and your loose phuzzy no walls havin ass away from me before I do something I sure ass hell won't regret." She threatened.

"Bitch you ain't gon do shit!" The fan said.

Des stood up and punched the girl dead in her face. The chick stumbled back and fell since she was on skates. She hit the ground HARD! I think I even heard a cracking noise. But Des didn't stop there. The girl managed to get up, but somehow, Des was able to lift up her leg and kick her in the stomach. Making the girl cough up blood. I quickly got up and held Des back from doing further damage. You could see the anger in her eyes. She sat down and took her skates off, walking to the front. I quickly followed her as she got her shoes back and put them on. I did the same and we silently walked back towards the car. I don't know if this is the right time to say this, but I felt completely

Turned on during the situation. I'm actually catching feelings for this girl. But we're leaving tomorrow. Today's the only day I'll have with her. Unless I can find a way to get her and the girls to come with us. It won't be easy, but it'll be worth the try.
