The Preacher's Daughter

Chapter 9

Toya POV

Toya: Mom, can I go help Cassie with her mom? She's really tired and needs help taking care of her...

Mom: Sure baby! Go ahead, if Cassie needs you then go be there for her. She might be a little tired of having to care for her all alone.

I stood there for a minute in disbelief because I've told lies before, but for the first time, this one came out so easy, so natural. It felt...good.

Toya: Okay mom, thanks.

With that, I walked outside and called Rakim..

Phone Call

Toya: Hey Rakim..

Rakim: Hey Toya. I'm glad you called..actually I was wondering did you want me to come pick you up at your crib?

Toya: Oh umm y.. come to my house..

Rakim: Give me 10 minutes and I'll be there.

Toya: Okay, see you then.

Rakim: Bye

Toya: Bye.

End Of Conversation

I immediately thought how in the world was I gonna make it to Cassie's in ten minutes and change clothes? I had to pick something out over there...

I finally started walking and eventually that turned into running. Within 5 minutes, I was there.

I walked up the steps to her front door and impatiently knocked on the door.

Cassie slowly opened the door looking restless.

Cassie: Why are you banging on the door Toya?

She rubbed her eyes and moved over signaling me to come inside.

I started walking upstairs and talking as I walked.

Toya: Look. I have a date with Rakim tonight and he is picking me up at your house because I told him this was my house when he dropped me off the other night from the party. I need to change. He will be here in like five minutes Cass..I really need to be ready in five minutes..

Cassie: Well hurry the hell up. Let's go into my room and get your clothes..

We ran inside the room and slid the closet door open and immediately laid out some outfits I had hanging up.

Cassie: We don't have much time, so wear this one. It's sexy, but not too sexy. You don't wanna seem like a slut.

I looked at it, and I have to admit. It isn't something I'd normally wear, but I have been stepping out of my comfort zone and trying new things recently..so maybe it won't hurt.

I quickly undressed out of my skinny jeans and plain T-shirt and put on the sexy red blazer with the low cut white silk top and gold chain. I also put on the black mini skirt and red heels.

Toya: What am I gonna do to my hair, Cass?

Cassie: You honestly don't need to do much to it. Let's put some water and curl activate on it. Just wear it curly. Can you manage to do your makeup on your own?

Toya: No..

Cassie: Okay, work on your hair and I'll do your makeup. We have 3 minutes left.

We worked and worked, she was busy doing her magic on my face and I was busy working on curling my hair up.

As she was finishing my eyeshadow and lipstick, I heard a knock on the door and immediately looked out of Cassie's bedroom window.

Toya: It's him..he looks..cute..

I blushed for a moment and found it odd that I said something like that.

Cassie: Yeah, you don't wanna keep him waiting. Put your lipstick on as you walk down the stairs. I just finished your eyeshadow.

I looked at myself in the mirror and I have to say, we did a pretty good makeover in 3 minutes.

I applied my lipstick as I walked down the steps with the wristlet purse around my wrist and my phone in the other hand.

I opened the door for him and looked him up and down and he did the same.

Rakim: You look great, Toya. Like forreal shorty.

It has honestly taken me a while to get used to that type of slang, but I think it is growing on me personally...

Toya: Thank you, and you don't look half bad yourself..

Rakim chuckled and looked into my eyes with an innocent look.

Rakim: You know, I try.

He had on a red polo shirt, some distressed jeans, red Jordan retros..and a gold rolex on his left wrist. His hair was different..he had 4 freshly done cornrows.

He moved to the side of the door and I moved forward and walked outside to his car.

He beat me there to open my door for me and walked over to his side and got inside and we were off..
