Just Friends (A Princeton Love Story)

// Chaper 16

-Rachel

I stared at Stephen as he started walking closer to me. I haven't seen Stephen in a while and by the smile on his face he was happy to see me.

"Rachel Harri's" Stephen said flashing his pretty white smile.

"Yea that's me in the fleash" I replied nervously laughing

"Surprise to see you here in the middle of the night"

"Well just came to pick up a few things you know..." I said looking down at all the unnecessary items I had picked up

I looked back up at Stephen and no doubt he was still handsome. He flashed that smile showing his small dimples and I swear I almost lost my balance. He was talking but I couldn't hear a word he was saying. He just kept smiling and I felt like I was under some kind of spell.

"Rachel?" I heard a voice say

I snapped out of my trace and looked at Stephen. He had a worried look on his face and he probably could tell I wasn't listening to a word he was saying. gosh why did I always let my crazy hormones get to me ?

"Um I'm so sorry I zoned out there, what did you say?"

"I wanted to know if we could catch up sometime ? Go get some coffee ? I'm in town for a while and we haven't seen each other in forever" he said flashing that beautiful smile of his again.

"Y-yea sure that's sounds like fun" I said

"Great then its a date"

"Great" I said starting to walk away

"Um Rachel ?" Stephen said laughing  stoping me in mid walk

"yea?"

"I'm going to need you number to be able to get in contact with you ? Can't call and confirm if I don't have a way to get in contact with you" he said

I felt so dumb at that moment. How could I forget to give him my number ?  I swear Stephen and that smile made me look like a total idoit in front of him !

I handed him my phone and he handed me his. We imputed our numbers in each others phone and took off in different ways. I reached the check out line and my phone buzzed. I unlocked my phone and instantly smiled when I read the message

Stephen: great catching up with you beautiful (: coffee tommrow ?

"That will be 35.68 ma'am" the chasher said

I looked up from my phone totally unaware I was still at the store. The lady looked impatient so I handed her the money and grabbed my receipt and my bags and headed out.

I reached my car and put all my things in, got in my car and sat there in the parking for a while and replied to Stephens message

Me: perfect I'll see you tommrow

I stared up my car and headed home.

"where is he we are about to go on stage in 10 freaking minutes and he's nowhere to be found!" Walter said pacing around backstage

We were in new york about to go on stage and Ray was nowhere in sight. I pulled out my phone and tried calling him again but it just went straight to voicemail. Just when we try to make a comeback one of our members is not here. So that just leaves me and Roc, but we can't do a show with just two members when we need Ray or we aren't going to have a show.

"This nigga probably out partying as always" Roc said clearly annoyed with Ray's behavior

But who could blame him ? We were spose to be a group and this comeback tour means everything if were trying to get and keep our groups name out there. I tried calling again but no answer.

I sat down and looked at everyone. Walter was running around screaming orders at everyone getting people to try their best and find Ray.

"3 minutes!" I heard someone yell

Roc and I decided that there was no way Ray was showing up. We went threw our routines doing the best we could without our third member and as soon as we were getting our finishing touches here comes Ray barging threw the backstage doors with a whole crew behind him

"I'm here so now the show can start" ray said

"Bro where the fuck have you been ! We go on in a minute" Roc said going over to ray and shoving him

"I'm here now aren't I ? Be glad I fucking showed up!" Ray yelled back shoving roc

"No time for the arguing" walking over to Roc and Ray "wait till after the show to beat his ass Roc"

Ray got dresses and we went on stage 5 minutes late.

If Ray was going to be like this during the whole tour there was no way this group was going to make it.

What are y'alls thoughts on how Ray's behaving ? Do you think the group will make it ?

What about Rachel and Stephen ?
