44} The Girl in the Hood

She pulled him aside, giving him a smile.
I'm though. I'm dead!

I watched them dance and talk for a while until Ray looked over to where Emma was pointing. His eyes met mine and I felt the biggest blush on my face.

Oh, look at those eyes

My blush grew as he gave me a soft smile from where he was at.

Oh!

Yeah, I'mHelpless, I know

I'm so into youI am so into you

I know I'm down for the countAnd I'm drownin' in 'em. Helpless!

Look into your eyesAnd the sky's the limitI'mHelpless!Down for the countAnd I'm drownin' in 'emI'm helpless!

Look into your eyesAnd the sky's the limit I'm helpless!

Down for the countAnd I'm drownin' in 'em.

 "Y/n Schuyler. It's a pleasure to meet you," I said, trying to keep my excitement in as Ray and Angelica looked at me.
"Schuyler?" Ray asked, looking at me.

"My sister," Emma said proudly.
"Thank you for all your service," I said, doing a slight curtsy.
He kneeled down, taking my hand and kissing it, "If it takes fighting a war for us to meet, it will have been worth it," he said.

I would've melted right there and then... I was too caught up in Ray, I didn't even notice Emma say, "I'll leave you to it."

One week later

I'm writin' a letter nightly
Now my life gets better, every letter that you write me
Laughin' at my sister, cuz she wants to form a harem

I'm just sayin', if you really loved me, you would share him

Ha!

Two weeks later

In the living room stressing
My father's stone-faced
While Ray's asking for his blessing.

I took a sip of my drink, eyeing Ray nervously as he talked energetically to my dad.
Emma stared at Ray, and Gilda chuckled as she listened to the conversation.

I'm dying inside, as
You wine
And dine
And I'm tryin' not to cry
'cause there's nothing that your mind can't do

My father makes his way across the room
To you
I panic for a second, thinking
'We're through. He won't accept Ray... it's over for us...'
But then he shakes Ray's hand and sternly says, "Be true."
And you turn back to me, smiling, and I'm
Helpless!

I smiled brightly before rushing over and hugging my dad tightly.
"Thank you, thank you," I said with happiness before almost tackling Ray down as I hugged him.

He chuckled before hugging me back, burrying his face in my shoulder.

Helpless!
Hoo!

That boy is mine
That boy is mine!

Helpless! Helpless!
Down for the count
And I'm drownin' in em

Helpless!
Look into your eyes
And the sky's the
Limit I'm
Helpless!
Down for the count
And I'm drownin' in
'em I'm
Helpless!

Look into your eyes
And the sky's the
Limit I'm
Helpless!
Down for the count
And I'm drownin' in em

Ray and I stepped outside to the garden. He took my hand as we walked side by side.

"Y/n, I don't have a dollar to my name. An acre of land, a troop to command, a dollop of fame
All I have's my honor, a tolerance for pain
A couple of college credits and my top-notch brain
Insane, your family brings out a different side of me
Gilda confides in me, Emma tried to take a bite of me," Ray said making my eyes widen.
"What?"

"No stress, my love for you is never in doubt," I smiled, but didn't say anything as I listened to him.
"We'll get a little place in Harlem and we'll figure it out
I've been livin' without a family since I was a child
My father left, my mother died, I grew up buckwild
But I'll never forget my mother's face, that was real
And long as I'm alive, Y/n, swear to God
You'll never feel so...

I do I do I do I do!
"Y/n," he muttered, running a hand through my hair.

I do I do I do I do!
"I've never felt so..."

I'm down for the count
I'm-

"My life is gonna be fine cuz you're in it," he told me.

I look into your eyes, and the sky's the limit
I'm
Helpless!

Down for the count
And I'm drownin' in 'em

Down for the count
And I'm drownin' in 'em.

I smiled softly before his lips met mine and we shared a gentle kiss.

The lyrics are probably messed up lmao.

Anyway.
