"I've been missing you... lately,"

(2 weeks later & Five Days Later)
Oh, won't you stay with me?
Cause you're all I need
This ain't love it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me
Decisions
"Wake up Mare! It's the day! Your mom is making breakfast, Dare is getting the movie room ready and I'm suppose to be getting you up an smiley. I'm a man on a mission to make you smile dot ruin my plan. Now up," Ray says pulling on his lap and into his arms. I cuddle myself into him for more warmth.
"I just want to sleep more," I say hoping he'd leave me alone.
"No you're not going to be sad in bed until he gets here. You're gonna get up, shower, eat, look beautiful as always and smile with the rest of us. Then we're all going squeeze the hell out of your dad when we see him walk in the door. So stop your moping or I'll be forced to kiss you," I open my eyes and straighten up.
"Don't threaten me with your kisses, that's not fair. It's not fair game, you know I'll enjoy it. You happy now?! I'm up you bully," I glare at him while he just smirks at me.
"Very happy, I've gotten you up. Now go shower and I'll make you smile after your dress," He walks me to my closet to pick a outfit out and puts me down.
"Thank you darling, now get out! I'll tell you when you can come back in," I say pecking his cheek before he leaves the room.
I grab a pair of black high waist jean shorts that go to my mid-thigh, a black bustier, one of Rays old red flannel shirts he always pass on to me and Daya and my black converse. When my hair is tied into a high bun I get into the shower.
"Ray! You-" I yell coming out of the bathroom scared, finding him on my bed already.
"You look good. A lot of black but the red helps you out," He compliments me and I blink.
"What if I wasn't dressed Ray! You can't just chill in my room while I'm in the shower," I scowl at him.
"You always take your clothes in with you Mare, I know you. So no fears kid," He says unraveling my bun.
"Shut up, you don't know me that well. One day you're gonna walk in here and get flashed because you think you 'know me'," I say to him while deciding if I want to curl or straighten my hair or leave it wavy.
"I'm a guy Mare. I wouldn't mind being flashed," I hear the sly grin in his voice before I turn around and look at him. Boys... I sigh, shaking my head.
"I always love how you manage to look beautiful effortlessly. You don't even have to put makeup on or do your hair like the rest of the girls we go to school with. You're just you. Bless your mothers genes," Ray says with a grin.
I giggle. "Bless my Hispanic-Latina and Black roots. Day would always tell me that when we would get ready together," I smile softly.
"I know you're missing her... hell I won't admit it but I miss her just as much," Ray says.
"I want to put my Cartier bracelets on today," I say grabbing my wrist. Although I always kept my coordinates bracelet that Day and I got together on, Ray and my parents got me Cartier bracelets a whole back and I haven't worn them in a few days.
Ray's Cartier bracelet from Day and I remains on his wrist and it has Forever the 3 Musketeers x D + M engraved inside of it. The one Ray gave me had Dear Maria engraved in it as a stepping stone of how close the three of us got over the years, he also gave Daya one.

Romance"Walls down," I say softly. He looks at me intently, I move my hand away from his, never losing eye contact. He graze my cheek. ''You know you're very beautiful. It's dark, I understand we can't really "see" each other but I can see your eyes with...
