Chapter Fifteen

Drop It Low, Bring it up SLOOOWWW

  It’s too hard gathering all the girls into one place at one time.  Tiphanie-Jewel was coming from Paris.  Alyessa was coming in from Philly.  Lauren was trying to get to Cali from Delaware with my uncle.  Nate (the new assistant Darren hired?  I specifically asked him for a woman I swore.  I think he thinks only the bros can handle us girls) was trying to bring all my sorors from Georgia, so we could all show up to Roc’s party together.

  At the last minute Nate called saying that three out of four sorors couldn’t come to California since it was so last minute.  It was understandable because the other members of Lady of Pearl are normal working class civilians and usually are good for coming when I call to perform or be in a fashion show.  I couldn’t always call last minute expecting them to run.  It was good Salice came to Cali to hang with us but I expected her just because she’s never pass up on a party and a reason to come through.  Within the hour of flight arrangements the was hotel filled with shrieking girls.  The hottest outfits surfaced.  The makeup packed on and heavily glossed lips, false eyelashes with alluring shadows. 

  We turned on Kayne’s Devil in a New Dress to get ready.  I was pleased with the Beauty and urban style of my girls, I caught myself looking at them as they were in separate conversation amongst each other brushing hair, glossing lips or applying bronzer.  We were jaw dropping fly and hood stunting.  All with individual personality expressions.  I was happy to finally pull out that textured one piece American Apparel black leotard and the jean vest.  I broke out an exclusive pair of Jimmy Chew heals fit for a queen.

  I contemplated if I should drive the show car to the party.  Instead I asked for Nate to arrange two Suburban’s.  Nate stayed behind to hang out with him new little honey.  Ray out nowhere called, I was too busy that I didn’t answer.  Yes we were an hour late but I was sure that we were in perfect timing.  Gifts were accessories with perfect brands and balloons.  Thirty minutes of Cali traffic made me want to explode but we were there.  We ride up slow and jump out deep with arms of gifts to the sound of Drake featuring Wayne HYFR blasting out the speakers.

  I hadn’t noticed the fans accumulated out front beyond the flashes of cameras.  We were hurried in.  Roc’s mom developed a crowd around her as she danced.  We shimmy through the crowd that was tight as sardines.  There was a hot mist in the sir from all the dancing.  I was guided by a family member to a safe place to put our gifts.  We were then guided towards where Ray was with his mother and father.  Ray watched me with his eyes as I walked towards everyone with the girls.  I hugged the Mother’s first then Tiffany.  Out of nowhere Roc’s mother came off the dance floor sweaty for a huge hug.  I walked to a private space where Ray followed.  “You look so good babe,” He grins grabbing his crotch of his pants.

  Walking close to me gently touching my thighs which drives me crazy every time he does it.  I tired to step back but he had a grip on me.  I rest my hand on the small of his waist.  “You smell so good,” I complimented.

“Yeah?” he questioned.

"Yes daddy,” I whispered close to him.

"You smell good too.  You got on my favorite body spray on?”

“Yeah,” he noticed and I smiled.

“Where my kiss?”

  I leaned into him kissing his lips.  “I missed you girl?” he smiled making my heart melt. 

“Daddy I want to go chill at the home,” I leaned in to his chest with a pout face.

“I know baby. We’ll hang out for a while and go.  Watch a movie okay babe?” he smiled kissing my forehead.  I can’t front though the party was live.  The turnout was awesome.  It’s hard to explain that when you are on the road all the time all you want to do is chill out when you have time or a vacation.

  We just bought a brand new house and I hadn’t spent a full night in it.  All I had in my mind was taking a hot shower, washing off the cakes of makeup and getting comfy in my Vicky yoga sweats.  After the cake was presented, I went laughed with Mama Keyshia who was toasted at her livest, Tiffany coaching her along.

   I’d been ducking Ray every time a slow song came on.  I conveniently disappeared into the thickness of the crowd or walk outside.  I hear a popular slow jam surface and I ease my way into disappearance when I was grabbed by the wrist in the darkness.  By who I couldn’t even tell until I was by who I couldn’t even until I was standing on the dance floor face to face with Roc’s mom who handed me over to Ray.  I look back to Mama Keyshia, Tiffany and Roc’s mom amongst others.  Ray leads me to the dance floor where everyone wad bumping and grinding.

  I stood before him shy with a smile.  He guides me close by the hand.  We got close swaying in sync pelvis to pelvis.  Bashfully I palm my face so he couldn’t see me smile when Kelly’s Motivation drops all the girls went in singing.  I totally forgot about anyone else watching.  He held me tight.  I could feel him breathing against my neck.  I am looking him eye to eye.  I mouth the lyrics to him and I have his full attention vibing out to the music.

  I had his full attention he knows I mean the lyrics.  “I love you,” he mouths to me.  “I love you too,” I smile and he smiles back to me.

  Suddenly I hear a song that I remember oh to well.  Fat Joe featuring Chris Brown Another Round drops and it all comes flooding back to me.  My skin grows tight and blaque out in a world all my own.  Ray’s hands hold me tight.  We remember something no one knows but us.  He smiles at me whispering to me, my face turns red.  “Did I feel good that night?” he smiles.

“Amazing?” and it occurred to me, “Wait how did you get in?”

“Lol, I knew that was coming.  Your brother gave me the door key.”

“Oh?  Creeper!”

  When the music goes back to up-tempo we walk off away from the crowd outside.  We found a place for us to just sit alone at the back of the house.

"Baby why don’t we go home?”

“but I thought you wanted to stay for a while?” I questioned.

"Nah I’m trying to settle in for the night.”

  I smiled at him, “Ok Daddy.”  One thing people don’t know about Ray is he doesn’t really like to hang out much.  So it didn’t surprise me that he wanted to roll.  I gather up the girls to tell them that I was leaving and lucky for me they were tipsy enough and ready to go.  So before they party died down we left.  It didn’t take long for me to get to the house.

  When I walked in Ray was in the entertainment room playing Madden.  I took an hour long shower until the water ran cold.  I happened to watch myself, no makeup and no glamour, JUST ME!  I couldn’t help but feel so heavy.  I was tired.  Not just physically but mentally.  The kind of tired a vacation couldn’t heal or nurture.  I was tired beyond rest.  I walked into the bedroom wrapped in the towel where I finished drying off.  I slipped into my pajamas after I lotion down.  I walk into the entertainment room and see that Ray fell asleep watching t.v.  I covered him with a blanket and kissed his forehead before settling in the room with Neapolitan ice cream. I couldn’t sleep so I cuddled up to paperwork and my laptop.
