Lai/Lailani

2 days later

Crenshaw, Cali

"How y'all feel about going on ah 7 day cruise?" I asked and he lifted his head from off my stomach and looked at me. 

"Hell the fuck no" I sucked my teeth

"Sin.. i'm serious about it.. i got the funds" 

"Ian say you didn't"

"Then what's the issue?" I asked getting annoyed

"I'm not a people person.. you of all people should know that by now Lai"

"Pleassseeeee.. we all need a break in some type of way" I said while getting up and jumping on the bed like ah lil ass kid.

"You really want to?" he asked

"Yess" I said while still jumping

"Aiight.. sitcho ass down girl" he said while pulling me down

"Can you ask if vante and nem wanna go?" I asked 

"Aiight" I grabbed my phone off the dresser and went to the group chat

                                                             Bald Head Hoe Shit

                                                                                 Y'all tryna go on ah cruise?

                                                                                      Fo 7 days?

Raj: Hell yeah

Drea: Yessuhh

Brook: Yes ma'am

                                                                    Aiight, send me 5k in Cashapp rn

                              Everyone liked :Aiight send me 5k in Cashapp rn"


I recieved notifications from Cashapp saying that everybody paid. I turned to Sin

"You gotta answer yet?" I asked

"They all said yeah"

"Okay tell them to send me 5k in Cashapp" I said while looking back at my phone

"Bet". My phone dinged some more and once i got all the money i went on Carnival website and booked our room and all the things we wanted to do. Good thing i came up with this cause they was finna close the ballet. Once i was finished it said we was set to board Carnival Sunshine monday morning. Today is Saturday

I texted the group and gave them all the information needed for boarding, after that i ordered our tickets for the plane. We leave tomorrow at 10:30 AM and we fly out at 11. Now done with allat, I grabbed my suitcase and started to pack. Sincere went home and did the same.

I can't believe we for real doing this, it's crazy. I called my mom and told her where i was going so she wouldn't be calling  me with ha bullshit, knowing that's exactly what she was gonna do.

After packing half of my stuff I got hungry so i put my slides on, left and locked the house. I got in my car and headed to WingStop.

I went through the drive-through and order my food. Once i pulled up to the window and the lady repeated my order and i told her she was right.

I got on my phone and started to play Bitlife

"My momma said what sauce you want"

I looked up and saw this girl standing behind the lil glass door thing

"Tell her I want ranch" I said

"Aiight" she closed the window and walked away. Once i payed and got my food i went back to my house. Once i got there I took ah shower, cleaned up and got in my bed and ate my food.

Soon sleep took over.


Monday Morning

I swear i hate planes but it's either this or drive and lord knows i hate doing that. My legs have been shaking ever since we boarded. I can't get it to stop. Sin must have noticed cause he placed his hand on my thigh, and guess what it did? It stopped.

To be honest, I don't know what's going on between me and him. He keep giving off "I want you" vibes i don't wanna rush anything. I ain gon lie my feelings towards him is getting ah lil stronger ever since we started to be around each other a lot more. 

But ion know, we'll see what happens

"Watchu thinkin bout babygirl?" He asked while looking up at me

"You want me to be honest right now?" I asked

"I'm listenin"

"Us"

"You talm bout the movie?"

"Mmcht"

"Nah, i'm playin. But go into detail"

"I'll tell you later"

"No pressha. Wheneva you ready lemme know sum" he said, picking up his phone

You know it's funny how when i first met him he didn't seem attractive to me, but now he is fine as the fuck. Everything about him makes me wanna...you knowwwww.

I look away because i think i've been staring for too long

"Welcome to Carnival Sunshine. I hope you enjoy your stay" The female at the door said. Everyone else said thank you while Sin just mugged her.

Thee disrespect. We walked to our room which was on the 9th deck. I'm not even finna lie we got ah big ass suite. This shit bigger the suite. We gotta full balcony, whole living room, a kitchen and a large bedroom.

When i was ordering our room i made ah lil note saying i wanted a full bottle of Patron with a couple shot glasses, and i saw just that.

I unpacked my suitcase and changed from my sweats and tee to a white wife beater, blue booty shorts, my white Gucci slides and my white duster.

"Sin you ready to go to Ledo deck?" I asked

"Yuh". I grabbed my shades, phone, carnival cruise card and lip gloss. And we was out
