Preachers Kid (Book 1)

Chase Pov

Man was I happy to be in church. All weekend I stayed in the house with my phone off. My skin felt like it was on fire.

When my father was calling people down I definitely went down. He smiled and laid hands on me

***
I was stressing and Ray wasn't because even though I haven't been texting her back I saw that she posted a picture of her and Gabby damn near naked.

"When do you start your internship" my mama ask

"In two weeks" I say

"Make sure you tell them no Sunday's or should I" My dad say

"Daddy I'm grown I can tell them myself" I say

"Grown? You still smell like Similac" My dad say making us laugh

"Hehe daddy you just got all the jokes" I say

"I try! I really try" He smile "how's school? Do you want to transfer"

"I think her being there is good. Tell your father what you told me" my mother say

"I'm number one in my class so far" I guess those private schools had an advantage

"Scholarships" my dad dance "I get to keep my money"

"Stanford here she comes" my mom say making me smile

A lot of people tell me I don't look smart enough to get into that school but I promise my brains are there. My tattoos, my weave, and the way I choose to dress is just what I like.

Kobe: I'm sorry about Friday. Any chance I can get a second try

"Why do boys show so much discourteous" I ask

"What happened Ladybug" My dad ask

"When I went to the game it was kinda like a date but not really. Just two friends meeting up" I start

"Is he a man of God" My father ask

"Daddy" I whine

"Finish Chase" my mom say

"Another friend of mine who is a girl approached us to speak and he pushed her. Now he wants me to give him a second chance" I say

"Absolutely not! If he pushed that girl for speaking no telling what he'll do to you! I'm saved but I will not tolerate anyone disrespecting my child" Daddy say making me smile

"I agree with your father. Look at all signs before you make a big decision" my mom say

"He's usually the perfect gentleman" I say "I don't understand why he did what he did"

"Ask him baby" my mom say

"What? No! That boy is an abomination" they had me laughing

"Daddy I only told you one thing" I say

"That's all its takes" is it really? "Actually you should go out with Earl"

"No daddy that's not happening" I say

"Yes it is. I'm going to set it up" daddy say

"Mom" I say

"She doesn't need to be worried about boys and when it is time she should make the decision herself" That's the way she save me?

"I'm doing it. Invite him over for dinner sometime this week" he smile and walked off

"I'm not going to come" I say

"Just give it a try please" My mom say "one bad move and he's trying to move you back to the privacy school or take your car"

"Ugh" I say walking upstairs

I closed my door and just laid in my bed.

Ray💜: u getting ahead of yourself , trust ion wantcha it was just ah in tha moment kinda thing. ion wanna lose you as ah friend cause you real cool plus i'm with gabby now. it wasn't even no real kiss it was a peck . don't overthink and make something so small into some so damn big

Was I overreacting? I really didn't want to text about the conversation. I needed to see her in person

Me: want to go get something to eat?

Ray💜: is that your way of forgiving me

Me: only if you accept my offer 🙂

Ray💜: actually i'm with gabby right now

Me: well I forgive you anyway

I didn't have a choice. I mean I did but I didn't because over these few short weeks Ray has been phenomenal and I'll hate to lose our friendship over something like this.

Ray💜: thank youuuuuy bestieeeeee

I smiled as I typed the next message

Me: you have to come to the studio with me

I had never been but it's something that I always say I'm going to do. With school and the church I never have time but if I can find time especially if I can find time to do things that gets me in trouble.

Ray💜: bet . i can find some

Me: greatly appreciate it

I already had a song book. Most of the songs I couldn't relate to because some deal with being lied or cheated on. The man I want just doesn't exist.

I want him to love God but also have a rugged side to him. I want him to have potential and even if he doesn't think he has potential I want to show him he's important. Guess that's too much to ask for.

I sat on my bed and decided to just study. At least keep my grades up.

I'm just really glad Ray and I got that understood and she agreed to help me with something I'm passionate about.
