The next day, Ray ordered two flight tickets offline. When they made it into Georgia once again, Prodigy drove his car that he always kept down their to the gym. Working out always helped him to keep his composure better.
Meanwhile, Ray was plotting on sneaking Zonnique out of her house. So far, he came up with a pretty smart plan, but he wasn't sure if it would work or not.
On his way to her house, he called Bahja to see if she was there. When he dialed her number, he started up the car and waited for her to answer.
After twenty seconds, the phone finally answered. "Bahja!" Ray yelled.
"What.... What!" Bahja groaned.
"Look, are you at Zonnique's house?"
"No, man!" She yelled as she sucked her teeth.
"Damnit... Listen, where are you right now?"
"I'm in my skin! When I jump out, you-"
"Bahja, I'm being SERIOUS. I'm trying to sneak Zonnique out of her house."
"Why the hell are you trying to do that?"
"Because she wanted me to comfort her or some type of crap like that."
Bahja rolled her eyes then smirked. "I mean- I know that. Why are you trying to sneak her out? You know good and well Uncle Tip ain't going to let you even step foot in that house."
"That's the point of 'sneaking' her out of the house. Are you even listening to me?" Ray scoffed as he drove the car out of his parking lot.
"Ray, I don't even feel like talking right now. All I can say is to leave her alone. That's all I'm saying." Bahja sighed.
"Whatever... Thanks for helping me to help your best friend."
Bahja knew he was trying to make her feel bad, so she hung up. She wasn't in the mood at all to talk.
Once Ray heard the beeping on the other line, he breathed in and out, trying to keep himself calm. Bahja usually was a great help when it came with dealing Zonnique. But this time, she was being a pain.
As he drove down the road to Zonnique's house, he turned the radio on to soothe his nerves. Once he arrived fifteen minutes later, he'd seen that there were no cars in the drive way, signaling that no in was home.
"Damnit!" He groaned as he started to pull back out of the driveway. He shook his head, knowing that this was going to take a long time to get to her.
Then, that's when he saw an upstairs curtain move in Zonnique's room. When he saw that, his heart immediately started racing again.
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" He cheered as he stepped on the gas pedal to pull back into the yard. When he parked, he pulled his phone out of the glove compartment to call the house.
As he dialed her house number, he stopped in his tracks. "I should surprise her..." He giggled to himself.
Even though Zonnique was hideous to him, he still loved to give her surprises that showed her beautiful smile. It always made his day better seeing it.
Her smile wasn't anywhere better than Robyn's, but he didn't care.
He hid his car around the side of her house then jumped over their seven foot privacy fence. Once he made his way around their backyard, he rested his palms on his knees to catch his breath. "Damn, this is a big yard.." He said as he coughed between words.
Once he was finished resting up, he ran across the shiny, green grass, up to their screen porch, and knocked on the glass.
On the inside, Zonnique was folding her clothes. She'd just got finish crying in the bathroom for fifteen minutes straight. Not being able to hear Ray Ray's voice in her time of need was getting to her.
