The Help (MB)

Chapter 16

*At the dinner*

*Peyton*

When we finally pulled up to the restaurant,I smiled a bit as Ray kissed my hand. We all got out of the limo and walked in,being sat at a table. A waitress came over,asking for our drinks.

When she walked away,Amaya looked straight at me.

"So....." She smiled,and everyone zoned in on the conversation.

"So what?"

"So,How did you guys get to fighting?"

"She was being a bitch,and she said I was nothing but the help. So I fought her."

"Are you sure that's all what happened?"

"Yes,Amaya. She had my blood pressure high,and you know I get angry easily."

She chuckled. "Why would she say something so cruel?" Kenya asked,and I shrugged.

"I told Diggy she couldn't come to the dinner. And I only did that because she was rude to me when I walked in the room."

"I never did like her," said Prince,wrapping his arm around Amaya's shoulder. "Same here." I sighed.

"I just hate the fact that Diggy had to miss the dinner because of her." Kenya sighed,playing with her fingers. Amaya nodded in agreement.

"Well,on to the next subject. Amaya and Prince." Ray put on a funny face and raised his eyebrow. "Do I sense love in the air?"

They chuckled,nodding. "We're officially together." Amaya said,kissing Prince's cheek. Chresanto chuckled. "Aww,puppy love."

Prince mean mugged him. "Don't hate cause you don't have a girlfriend." Ray laughed,and Chresanto raised his eyebrows. "But I do."

He put his arm around Kenya and she looked at him confused,and he leaned in for a kiss,and she smacked him on the back of the head,making everyone laugh. "What I tell you about that shit,Chres. We ain't together." She said,and he looked down.

"You could've went with the flow." He mumbled,and we laughed as she looked at him like 'bitch,please' and rolled her eyes.

"Anyways,I have a big surprise." Kenya announced. "Graduation's coming up,and I want to throw a party." She looked around the table. Everyone looked back at her,scrunching their eyebrows.

"Graduation's in five months,Kenya." Chres said,looking at her. "Which gives us plenty of time to plan. We can have a dj,plenty food,and everyone we know invited." She said,and we could tell she was excited.

"I like the idea,actually." Prince said,looking at her. "We could use some fun in our lives. Amaya nodded in agreement. "All we do everyday is tend to ourselves and sit around in that quiet house all day." She said.

"Yea." I added. "I like the idea,but we have no idea how to plan a freaking party." I said,looking at her with my eyebrows raised.

"No problem,"said Kenya,"I have my friend,Tamia,and she is great at planning parties. She even did her own sweet sixteen." Kenya raised her eyebrows,nodding.

"Well,I guess we could make this work." Chres said,looking at Kenya. "It would be fun to do something different." She nodded.

"Well,it's set. We're having a party." Kenya smiled wide,causing me to chuckle.

By then the waitress came back,ready to take our orders. We went around the table,ordering our food. She smiled,promising to have the food out as fast as possible,and walked away.

I looked at everyone. "We really should do this more often. We hardly ever even communicate with each other." I said,and Ray nodded.

"I liked the idea," added Chresanto, "I was bored anyways."

I laughed,remembering when I walked in on him moonwalking. He looked at me,daring me to say a word. "You sure about that,MJ?" I asked,giggling. He looked away,and Kenya chuckled.

"I'm not even going to ask." She said,and I laughed again. Our food came out after that,and we had small talk,enjoying each other's company. It really was fun,because we bonded and got closer to one another. I'd have to say,they are really cool.

"I think we should at least do this outing thing once a month." I whispered to Ray as everyone laughed at a joke Prince made. He wrapped his arm around me,kissing my forehead. "I agree." I smiled.
