The Boy Next Door(A Chris Brown Story)

Chapter 27

Chris P.O.V
"You know this is a big step bro" Cam said as he glanced at the rings in the case "She's not just your girlfriend anymore she is now your wife" He added as he pointed at  a diamond  ring for the Jeweler to take out. He was rite this was a big step but I was ready. I mean Zoe and I have been through hell and back god knows how many times,but I'm ready to marry my baby. "This is actually our top selling ring this month. All the male celebrities are picking it up Robin Thick was in not to long ago and bought it but of course he customized it, but this ring is called an Asscher-Cut. Some people described it as a square emerald but it became popular in the 20th century" The Jeweler said as he handed over the ring. This ring was beautiful but it wasn't Zoe style. "How many carats is this ring" I asked as I handed the ring over to Cam "It is 3 1/2 carats" He said as he took the ring back from Cam "Okay how much is it" I asked as I glanced down at the another rings in the case "987,000 but if you buy it today I'll give it to you for 965,000"He said as he slid the ring back into the holder "Okay but can I have moment to talk it over with my brother" I said as I looked at Cam "Sure no problem I'll be over here if you need me" The Jeweler said before walking off. "So what are you going to do" He asked as he leaned on the glass counter "I don't know man this shit is hard what did you do" I asked hoping he could give me some sort of advice. "I spent hours in here until I found the perfect rings once I found the perfect engagement ring I looked for a wedding band had them both customized for my baby and bought it, but whatever ring you decide to get Zoe she is going to love it because it's coming from you so go with your heart" He said before patting me on the back. "That's true speaking of Zoe this is her calling" I said before answering the phone "I'll just be over here" He said before walking off "Hey baby" I said as I played with the ring "Hey baby what are you doing" She asked in an excited voice "Im out with Cam looking at cars what are you doing" I asked "About to go met up with Eboni and help her figure out what center pieces she want for the tables" She said in a some what excited voice "Thats cool have fun" I said looking over at Cam playing with the rings that were left out on the counter "Before we hang up I wanted to know can we make date night tonight I know it's not friday but I really want to have us time I miss you like crazy" She said in a cute baby voice "Anything for you baby but I have to go I love you" I said before hanging up "Love you too" She said before sending me a kiss through the phone. I swear that girl is so freaking cute. "Okay Im ready to talk rings" I said as I walked back over to Cam and the Jeweler. "So what rings did you decide you on" The Jeweler asked "I want the Oval ring as her engagement ring I want that to be 3 carats and then I want the Round ring but I want the light pink marquise to go around the Round so it kinda looks like a sunflower I want the marquise to be 1 3/4  carat and I want the Round to be 4 carats and I want two bands attached to it so it looks like one I also want the diamonds around the bands to be white diamonds" I said as I put the ring down "Well got damn did she tell you all of that" Cam asked in a shocked voice "Nope when I heard her voice I just kinda knew" I said before smiling "Well she is a very lucky girl" The Jeweler said before putting the rest of the rings away. "Since you basically described the design layout for both rings. I'll have my team make both the rings & I'll call you back in to look at them" He said as he put the both the rings I wanted in a little black box. "Okay that sounds like a plan how long is this expected to take" I asked as I put my phone back in my pocket "About two weeks but here is your receipt just bring it when you come back" He said before walking off "Okay Thanks" I said before folding the little piece of paper up and putting it in my pocket. After Cam and I were done ring shopping we both went our separate ways.

Zoe P.O.V
"I can't believe my baby sister is getting married"I said in a baby voice "Zoe really it's not that big of deal you're acting like it's the end of the world" She said in a nonchalant voice "Yes it is a big deal Eboni marriage is a big step"I said as I picked up a little plastic bird center piece. "Plus you're getting married to the second hottest guy in New York"I added "If Cam is second who is first" She asked as she roamed around the store "Chris of course I mean who doesn't want to look at his sexy ass I mean Cam is sexy too but that's your husband so that would be wrong but Im sure Chris is on your list too"I said before laughing "As much as I would love to laugh at your stupid joke Im not in the mode to laugh so please stop with your jokes and help me find my centerpieces for my table or leave"She said before leaving me in an ale full of napkins. I wonder what the hell her problem is ever since this whole planning of the wedding started she has been acting like a complete bitch. I know that's my sister and I should be wrong for calling her that but it's true. "Eboni what's your problem"I asked "Nothing is wrong with me I just want you to help me look for my centerpieces and cut your Kevin Hart act"She said as she scanned the glass vases. "Okay fine"I said "What about if you put the little diamonds at the bottom of the vase put like three or four little tie lit candles around the vase and put the baby blue flower balls on top of the vase to give it an elegant but classy look"I added hoping she would like my idea "I love that Idea but where are we going to find baby blue flowers"She asked as she scanned the Vase twenty more time  "Well I can ask Mommy to talk to her friend that does the flowers and see if she can talk her into making them for you"I suggested as I put the candle back on the shelf. "I don't really want to ask Mommy for help I just want her to be at my wedding"She said as she put the vase back on the shelf "Why don't you want mommy to help"I asked trying to figure out why she wouldn't want her mother to help her plan her big day "I have my reasons but we'll talk about it later"She said as if she was trying to avoid the topic "Okay"I said "So what else do we need to need to pick up from here"I asked changing the subject "I just needed to figure out the centerpieces I have everything all together that was the last thing on my list"She said as she made her way to the front counter "Okay so when and Im going to see your wedding dress"I asked as I followed behind her "The day I walk down the ale"She said as she laid her purse on the counter. Why is she being so difficult today hopefully she loosens up when we get back to her house.I'm This whole avoiding conversations isn't like her I'ma figure out what the hell her problem is? "Is this all Mrs.Harris"The lady behind the counter asked "Yes this is all"She said before handing her over the scanner "Your total is 9,859 dollars and 39 cents"The lady said before taking Ebonis credit card " Your order will be here in seven business days"The lady said as she handed Eboni her credit card and receipt. "So what do you want to do now"I asked as I followed her to the car "Go back to the house and chill out"She said as she unlocked the car "Okay"I said as I got in "Did Chris get his shoes and tie yet"She asked as she put the car in drive "Yeah we got it when we got my dress taken in"I said as I put my seat belt on "Okay"She said as she stopped at the red light. The  car ride back to the house was very quiet the only thing that kept it from being awkward was the radio. Which Eboni turned off once we got by the church her and Cam were getting married in. 

Chris P.O.V
"Oh my bad I didn't see you"I said as I picked up the lady phone off the ground "No problem accidents happen"She said as she lifted her head up "Chris"She said in a surprised voice "I have been trying to get in contact with you"She said as she put her phone back in her purse.It didn't hit me who this woman was until I noticed the dragon tattoo on her hand, and thats when I realized I was looking at Nae. After I realized it was her my whole mood changed. "Why"I asked "Because we have a lot to talk about"She said as she moved her hair out of her face "Do you have a minute"She asked. I wanted to say hell no but I figure I'd be nice to this bitch and hear what she has to say. "Sure you only have nine minutes"I said as I set the timer on my phone. "Its a park across the street we can talk there"She said as she crossed the street. Once we got across the street we found an empty bench by an oak tree and we both sat down. "Talk"I said as I watched the people walk pass us. "I just wanted to say how sorry I am I know I said that before but I really am sorry. I was going to tell you about Jaden the minute I got back but everything just happen so fast. I know cheating is bad and I shouldn't of did it but at the time all we did was argue and fight. I just wanted us to get back to that place when everything was good and we loved the hell out of each other."She said as she look me in my eyes "So by cheating that was supposed to get us back on good terms you sound dumb as hell"I said as I clenched my jaw "No cheating wasn't supposed to get us back there when I got back I was going explain everything I was going to leave Jaden Chris because I wanted to be with you"She said as she began to fake cry "Listen Nae as much as I want to believe your dumb ass apology because this apology is dumb as hell how in the fuck did you want me or our relationship when you were fucking  another nigga wait but heres the best part you brought  homeboy back to my house and fucked him in my shower but wait that was suppose to bring us together and make me love you again"I said as cracked my knuckles "Listen the past is the past baby"She said as tried to touch my hand "Then let this be the past and move on I'm happy with the life I have now so it's time you need to move on because I have"I said before getting up "Wait there is one last thing"She said as she got up" What"I said as I turned around "This"She said before leaning in and kissing me "Bitch are fucking crazy"I said as I pushed her away "I got everything I need"She before walking away with a big ass smile on her face. I can believe that bitch just kissed. I need to get home and shower before Zoe thinks I was doing something crazy.

Eboni P.O.V
I was excited for my wedding but then again I wasn't because my mom wasn't here. I didn't want Jasmin to help because she wasn't my biological mother. I know that sounds bad and all. This lady basically helped raise me and was like my mother,but I didn't want her to help. I guess I didn't want my mother to feel like I didn't love her anymore if Jasmin helped me plan my wedding. "So when is the wedding rehearsal"Zoe asked as she folded her legs indian style on the couch "Three weeks from today"I said as I sat down on the couch "I can't wait this wedding it's going to be so beautiful"She said as a smile came across her face 'I guess it is"I said as I sipped on my tea "Why aren't you excited about your wedding I mean this is big besides you and Cam making me an Auntie one day"She said before laughing "Im excited but"I said as I looked down at my phone "But what"She asked "It's just not going to be the same without my mom being there I know I'll have my dad and Jas & Vince but it's just not the same without my mom I don't know"I said as tears started to roll down my face. "Awww don't cry Eboni"She said as she got up from the love couch and came over to comfort me "You're mother will be at the wedding she will be sitting right next to Uncle Anthony who will be sitting right next to our parents"She said as she rocked me in her arms. Having Zoe here to comfort me made me feel a lot better about the situation. "Your mother love you and even though she is not going to be there physically she is going to be there spiritually.So stop crying I promise everything is going to be okay. And if you feel like you're going to have a melt down the day of my shoulder will be there to cry on" She said as she fixed my hair "Thank You"I said as I wiped my tears away "You're welcome"She said as she let me go. I knew I had nothing to worry about but I always have my doubts,but my wedding day will be beautiful and full of love and laughter. "Is that why you didn't want mommy to help"She asked as she grabbed her cup off the table "Yeah I didn't want my mother to think I didn't love her anymore because I let Jas help me"I said as I sipped on my tea "Oh that's understandable but your mother will always love you no matter what so I think you should let mommy help you at least a little she's really sad to"She said as she put her phone down on the table. "She think she did something wrong that's why you haven't ask her to help you yet"She said as she picked her cup up "Really I don't want her to think that I'm going to call her right now can you check on Kayden for me"I asked as I got up.
