Za'Rayah POV
I walked into the stadium with Chris and the others. It was beautiful! I'd never been to Vegas before , so it is all new to me.
"First time here?", Lucas asked me.
"Yup. And It's amazing too.", I smiled.
Me and Lucas have grown to be good friends. He's a great person. Very considerate compared to Chris. I mean, Chris isn't inconsiderate, but he can be a butt hole sometimes.
"Later on, so you wanna go to this spot? My homie lives out here and he's throwing a house party. The concert ends at 10:00. The party starts at 10:00 but we could fall through late."
I thought about it. Chris really needs me to watch Ro, and that is my job...
"I am the nanny. So I have nanny duties...", I explained.
"Yeah, I get it. It's cool. Maybe another time.", he shrugged sadly.
I really wanted to go though, maybe I can find a way...
"Wait.", I put my hand out. "Maybe I can go. Ill have to see later on."
He smiled widely.
"Ight. Cool. I-i'll catch up with you later.", he said nervously.
He quickly walked away.
I went to get Royalty from Chris, before we sat in the middle of the stadium to watch the rehearsal. Royalty smiled with her hand over her headphone ear protectors. I smiled back at her and we shared my honey barbecue chips.
"Rayah!', she yelled.
"Yes!", I mocked her laughing.
"I gotta pee! Now!", she giggled.
"Alright let's go!", I yelled as she grabbed by hand running.
Once we got inside the bathroom, she stopped and looked up at me.
"I don't have to potty anymora'."
I straight faced her. "Did you pee on yourself?", I questioned.
"I never had to go...", she trailed off.
"Then why'd you say you did?", I asked squatting down to her level.
"I have an quessy' to ask. ", she said.
"You mean you have a question?", I asked.
"Yeah quest-on.", she nodded, "Can you be my new mommy?"
I got nervous. I didn't wanna say the wrong thing to her and get in trouble, or make her upset.
"Royalty, you have a mommy.", I explained.
"But you love me more than my real mommy."
"That's not true. Your mom loves you I'm sure."
"Then why she not here?", she asked with her lip poked out.
"You miss her huh?", I asked.
She nodded.
"Well you can see her after you spend time with your dad.", I tried to reason with her.
"But mommies and daddies are spos' to be together. Like you and daddy.", she explained.
I gave a small smile. "Me and your dad aren't together. We're friends.", I explained.
"Whaev'.", she giggled and we walked out of the bathroom.
We spotted Chris and he scooped Ro up carrying her to the dressing room, along with me behind him.
They sat on the couch together.
Royalty reached for a crumb on the couch, and Chris stopped her.
"No, no. I'll get you a cookie. Melan! Go get her a sugar cookie!", he yelled to his assistant.
They began to play around and make faces at each other.
Royalty giggled and kissed his cheek, laying on his chest.
"WAKE me up. For you gone. Oooh-ooohh moreee. More.", Roy attempted to sing Chris's song Little More.
"Stink, that's not how it goes.", he laughed.
I snapped out of watching them as my screen lit up.
"Hey Mama Joyce.", I smiled.
"Chile, how you been? I haven't had girl talk with you in a while.", she laughed.
So did I.
"I've been good. A little trouble here and there but I'm good now.", I said before exposing the whole jail-Deziray-beating situation.
"Honey. I'm glad you got her before I did. She wasn't doing nothing but taking his money. Triflin' heffa." She groaned.
"Oh my...", I giggled, "Ms. Joyce you crazy. How you been, though?"
"Blessed honey. You know I been dating.", she notified me.
"Oh lord. Chris is gonna interrogate the mess outta whoeva' that is.", I joked.
"Better not...Mama tryna get her groove back.", she joked.
We talked a little more and she told me how she was gonna visit soon and how she wanted to get me and Chris together. I told her that was not gonna happen since Chris has been aggy as hell lately. She insisted.
"Yo! I'm headin' to the store with Rayah! Chy, watch Ri for a lil minute.", he said after asking what everyone wanted and grabbing my wrist walking me out.
"Umm...Chris. I never asked to go to the store.", I spoke getting in the car.
"So. I said you coming.", he smirked.
"If this is about Lucas-", he cut me off.
"Nah, y'all too damn close. But it ain't about him. I just wanted to chat with you.", he said with his left hand in the wheel, holding my hand with his right.
"About?", I asked nervously.
"Well to apologize again. We been distant lately.", he explained.
That was true. We haven't played or joked like we did a while ago.
"Yeah...", was all I said.
"I just want us to be on good terms. I don't wanna loose what we have.", he explained.
"And what is that?", I asked rubbing his knuckle.
"I don't know myself. I just know that if you find someone else it'll hurt me."
I didn't speak, I just nodded.
This is all because of Lucas. CHRIS sees that I might have the slightest interest in another guy and he wants me. Tuh.
"Chris were cool. Lets leave it there.", I said slowly pulling my hand away.
"You can't run from your feelings forever. You'll see what I mean really soon.", he laughed.
We made it to the corner store and he walked with his arm over my neck and shoulders.
He told me to get whatever I wanted and I did just that.
"Man.", he laughed. "You a real shortie."
I laughed too. I'm short yet medium. Then I have a very petite body, yet I'm built beautiful. I used to be so insecure of myself. So unsure. Until I had to tell myself everything would be okay.
We checked out at the line and drove back to the arena.
Chris got ready for the concert and I sat with Ro as she slept on my chest. I reflected on Chris and I's convo from earlier. If he could change his ways I wouldn't mind us being together.
"Lord be with me.", I sighed as I rubbed her back.
