Royals'

Ten.

Walking through Griffith Park with Erica I inhaled the different fragrances of the Earth. The wind was tugging at our sun dresses and large hats. Adjusting my sunglasses on my face once again, I looked over to her and poked her cheek.

It had been a while since we had any bestfriend time, I was beginning to miss my little chicka.

"So what is new with you?" I asked her as we found a nearby bench.

"Just the same old stuff. Well, actually I think I want to start my own fitness service. You know, be a personal trainer for only B list celebrities." She cheesed.

"B list, why not A?" I asked closing my eyes allowing the breeze to caress my warm face.

"I want to make it my duty to get the B listers up to where the A's are." She replied sounding sure of herself.

"Well whatever you need, you know I support you one hundred perfect. Mon-" I started before she held her hand up and stopped me.

"You know me better than that Yas. I do not want you money, this is something that I want to do on my own but I appreciate the offer." She replied.

"Fine." I said chuckling while I held my hands up in surrender. That is one thing that I loved about her. She was always focused on getting things done on her own.

"What about you? How are you holding up with the tabloids still eating up this whole mystery man showing up on your door steps thing."

"I just ignore it for the most part. They do not have the slightest clue as to what is going on in my household. Did you see the one where they came up with the outrageous story that Mason and I are having relations with him? As if." I stated shaking my head. Some people really did not care at all what they wrote about other people even if it were complete lies.

"No, I did not see that one. Well...are you?" She asked.

"Erica!"

"I am just kidding, I know you looooove your hubby too much to share him or do anything with another man." She stated causing my face to grow red remembering the other evening at the sandwich shop.

"Yup." I replied nodding.

"Oh lord, here comes November and her crazy little girl RayRay. I swear someone needs to pop that little girl in her mouth with all of the slick things that comes out of it." Erica said voicing her opinion.

"What's gooooood fam!" RayRay said popping her gum while she flopped herself in between Erica and I.

"Good afternoon Rhain." I said frowning slightly, her outburst caused a few nearby people to look our way. I was trying to keep a low profile for the day. I was far from in the mood to be chased by nosey people looking for a juicy story.

"Mhm. What's up sexy?" RayRay asked running a finger across Erica's collarbone.

"Rhain. Stop it." November said firmly as she reached us.

"Hello November." Erica said scooting away from RayRay.

"Aye sexy." She nodded to Erica who grew uncomfortable under her intensive gaze then got up.

"Yas, I will catch up with you later. I have to go." She said grabbing her purse then quickly walking away causing both November and RayRay to burst out in laughter.

"Why must you two do that to her?" I asked crossing my arm.

"Lighten up ma, it was a little jokie joke." RayRay said moving her shoulders.

"Are you not supposed to be in school right now?" I asked.

"Hmm...I'll get back to ya on that." She said pulling out her phone. Rolling my eyes I looked over to her mother who still stood in front of me.

"You can sit down if you want."

"Nah. How about we go for a walk or something. It's too nice of a day to stay in one spot." She said extending a hand for me. RayRay looked over at her mother's hand then shook her head.

"Ma, how would your wife feel about you touching other women's hands?" RayRay asked being obnoxious.

"RayRay shut up. Rhain and I are doing just fine in our marriage. Yasmine here is just my good friend and boss, you know this." She stated gesturing for me to take her hand. Shaking my hand at their little disbute I took her hand then got up.

"I will see you later little Rhain. Stay out of trouble."

"My name is RayRay bihh. Get on." She mumbled. Ignoring her I walked away with November.

Blushing under November's gaze, I tried to remain my compose. She had a way of testing my sexuality by just looking at me with that look.

"How are things at home?" She asked after a beat of silence.

"Going pretty well."

"Good, good. I heard the movie you just shot won an award, congrats."

"Thank you, Mason and I celebrated basically all night." I replied hugging myself.

"How about you and that busta? Did any 'celebrating' between you two go down?" She asked scrunching up her face.

"I do not see why you even bring him up, you always get upset."

"I just want to know more about our friend. He did just appear out of no where." She replied stopping in her tracks.

"Can we not talk about this right now? I really wanted to have a peaceful afternoon." I stated matter of fact. Rolling her eyes, she walked ahead of me. Sighing I followed behind her and counted the seconds until I were home with my husband.
