Aaliyah slipped into her heels, bending over the dresser to have a better look at her make up look just as Zabdiel was walking into their room once again struggling with his tie. Aaliyah sighed and walked up to him, helping him with his tie.

"Nena-
"Not now Zabidel, i don't wanna be angry at Ray and Erick's dinner" Aaliyah said finishing it
"I'm sorry for this morning, i didn't mean to snap like that it's just- i don't understand or see why you don't want to marry me" Zabdiel asked
"because i've seen it, i've seen it first hand change the dynamic between 2 people, poison them and ruin the love they once had for each other. Y'know i used to stay up until the early mornings listening to my mom and dad go back and forth and in the morning they would act like nothing ever happened between them, that they were never shouting such venomous insults at each other when they thought i was asleep. I asked my mother why she wouldn't leave him and she told me it's because she loves him" Aaliyah explained tears brimming her eyes "and i don't want to see that happen to us because we have the twins and because i love you. I don't want what we have to change, i don't want to see myself 30 years down the line arranging who i'm having for the weekend and sitting in my lawyers office signing divorce papers"
"It's not going to happen nena, and you know why? it's because my love for you will never die, fade nor change okay. I'm not going to push the subject any further" Zabdiel said kissing her forehead
"Thank you" Aaliyah smiled "cause my foundation cost $170"
"oh is that what you're more worried about" Zabdiel mused with a smile
"is there something more important?" Aaliyah joked
"I love you" Zabdiel whispered
"And i love you too Zabdiel De Jesús" Aaliyah smiled
"As touching as that was we need to get our asses out of here before Ray calls us" Joel said from the door
"How long have you been standing there?" Aaliyah asked
"Since you told him about your foundation" Joel said casually "and you should not be spending that much on foundation girl, it's blotchy and doesn't match your neck"
"Mind your business what the hell do you know about make up?" Aaliyah said pushing him out the door
"I dated a girl who worked at Sephora" Joel smirked

The group got into 2 separate cars, Aaliyah leaving the twins over at Yocelyn's with strict instructions before they made their way to the restaurant. They were greeted by Ray and Erick who lead them to their table. They ordered their drinks before the waiter left but not before giving Aleesha a little wink

"That- that's a big glass of wine" Erick said pointing to the glass they handed Ray
"Leave me alone" Ray said
"I can't believe they believed you were 21" Aaliyah laughed
"I will be in a couple months" Ray smiled
"Okay so there has to be a reason why you took us to this fancy ass place that requires me to wear pants" Christopher asked
"Right yeah there is business to get down to" Erick said clapping his hands "So Ray and I have officially started wedding preparations, we've set the date for the 5th of November and we would like Aleesha to plan the wedding"
"It's bold of you to assume i wasn't planning it to begin with but i'd be honoured to plan my best friends wedding" Aleesha smiled making Ray smile
"I also wanted to ask" Ray reached down and pulled out 4 gift bags

She handed the girls the bags and watched them open them to reveal silk gowns with "bridesmaid", "maid of honour" and "matron of honour" embroidered in the backs with their names in the front pockets

"Yes, yes, yes a thousand times yes" Aaliyah squealed
"better keep that same energy when Zabdiel proposes" Ray laughed
"And look inside" Erick probed
"Are these- no you're lying" Kat said
"Yup, we're having a destination wedding" Ray smiled "you're all invited"
"Woah! you guys are really going out on this one" Zabdiel laughed
"Yeah i mean i'm only getting married once" Ray said popping his collar
"Until the streets call" Aaliyah said raising her glass
"Yes ma'am" Ray laughed
"That's not funny mami" Erick deadpanned
"i'm sorry papi" Ray smiled
"she's not" Aleesha yelled
"Shut up for i throw you out here" Ray said
"Well i'm ready for that bachelorette party sis" Kendall smirked
"Oh the bachelor part is going to be better" Richard smirked
"Cute, you're not having one" Ray said firmly
"But why not?" Erick whined
"Because Christopher's cheeky ass is going to bring strippers" Ray said seriously
"That is very much true but Erick and Richard are married men and Zabdiel is a father so i can guarantee he's not doing anything" Joel said
"We're tearing you a new asshole if i see pictures and there are naked women" Ray warned
"Fine" Joel said raising his hands

The waiter came back with everyone orders handing them out and purposefully waiting to personally give Aleesha her dish that he said was "made with love". Richard brushed it off knowing that he was doing it to get under his skin.

They had their dinner, as Ray progressively got drunker from 2 glasses of wine and Kendall was skating on the edge of drunk. Upon looking at the time Zabdiel suggested they get home because they had to fetch the twins on the way. Erick paid the tab and went to get Ray when he heard the commotion

"I'm sorry come again?" Richard asked
"What man? i just asked for her number" The waiter said
"Are you blind or stupid?" Richard asked "she's married"
"Okay and? Jada got into an entanglement with August" He justified
"Listen boo, entanglements are for rich people and judging from your job, you're nowhere near" Aleesha said grabbing Richards hand and leading him out
"I'm getting hot!" Ray yelled
"No. no mi amor keep it on" Erick said holding the hem of her dress down
"Why does she always wanna get naked?" Zabdiel asked
"Beats me" Aaliyah laughed
"She wants that dick!" Kendall yelled earning a yell from Ray of approval
"Okay this is getting embarrassing let's go baby" Joel said

Erick put Ray in the back of their car, while everyone got into their respective cars. Joel warning Kendall not to puke on his shoes. They got the twins off by Jocelyn's and proceeded to drive home where everyone got ready for bed

"I only had 2 cups" Ray mumbled as Erick tucked her into bed
"I know baby" He mumbled
