Through His Eyes (Royce)

•Chap.17 "Talk to me now.." •

::Ray's POV::

When I arrived back there, it was almost 10:25.  I walked in to see them lounging on the couch watching The Dancing Dolls. Well , it's called Bring it! but I always say The Dancing Dolls.

Jacob jumped up. "Ray!" he cheered coming to hug me. I chuckled .

"I wasn't gone that long." I said . "But I got y'all something." I said as he lit up. I passed everyone their items and they thanked me.

"Alright Ray, it's time for breakfast." Ms.August said getting up going to the kitchen.

"Really? I thought y'all would've started without me." I said .

"They did.I waited!" she hollered back. I nodded.

"Get it Kayla!" I heard Jacob yell while chewing on his M&Ms . I chuckled walking into the kitchen . I placed my bag in an empty chair as Ms.August reheated my plate and hers.

"I gotta talk to you Ray." she said looking at me with a serious stare.

I shifted in my seat wondering what about. "Okay,about what?" I asked .

She sat down both plates in front of us and got in a chair to eat. "Where'd you go this morning?" she asked me . 

Dvmn , I thought .

Ray quickly thought of something of something.

"I just wanted to go to the store and get y'all a little something this morning." he shrugged stuffing his mouth with a piece of pancake .

She gave him a look. "For 3hrs+ ?Nigga please, I know you where at a hoochie's house. .Which one?" she asked nonchalantly.

His eyes were slightly widened by now. He cleared his throat a little in worry before he chewed his food and answered . "Z-Zonnique." he stuttered .

"Mmph. See Ray, you're too good for her .. shxt,your too good for this . The stuff you do. Why do you do it?" She raised a brow in interest.

He sighed. "I don't know ..I just .." he paused looking down, disappointed in himself .

"I wasn't like this before, it started when my mama started hanging with that nigga." he spoke angrily. "It's like she has no time for me anymore." he sighed fixing his beanie.

Ms.August gave him a sincere look rubbing his hand that was on the table . "Have you talked to Keshia about this? Maybe she doesn't realize this." she said.

Keshia was Ray's mom and her and Ms.August were distant friends.

"No." He whined sadly.

"You need to,Ray. No look, I'll talk to her for you." she decided .

"Forreal?" he asked .

"Yea. But you have to promise me something." she said .

"What?" he asked .

"Stop fxcking them hxes!" she yelled quietly . He laughed and she cracked a smile .

"Alright. Hopefully that won't be a problem anymore." he smiled slightly, thinking about Justine. My purple unicorn , He thought.

Meanwhile, Chresanto and Jacob were watching a movie on Lifetime that came on after the show . You can guess who placed it there. But anyway, it was about a woman who was an angel and she came on Earth to be a human . She was owning a gift shop and every time someone came to her and happened to tell her their troubles, she helped them . In the movie, she ended up falling for someone but had to go back to heaven.
