35. Ari

We are on our flight to Grand Turk. I could never get enough of flying on this damn private plane.

When Ci found a man, she went hard in the paint, and I didn’t do bad either.

I love myself some Zelan. The love was real, and the protection is real.

I can’t believe we got a whole damn basketball team for security, they coming deep!

“Ari, you ok, you over there smiling to yourself and shit. Did you call the school about your last semester?” Ci said.

“Yes, Ci I’m good. I called the school and they will allow me to do my last semester online,” I responded.

“That’s great! I’m so happy about that. I don't want anything coming between you and school. Too much shit is going on, but I need you to graduate,” Ciera stated.

“What about you and your dreams, when are you opening up Lavish Beauties, so we can get our hair and lashes popping?” I asked her, my sister was the bomb at her craft, and her hair extensions were something serious. Y’all go check out the site .

“Soon sis, very soon. Nothing is going to stop that,” Ciera responded.

"I don't know what I was thinking. I should have invited Toya to come with us, but I don't know how long we will be here. I should have asked Zelan and Juelz could she come, so we can have someone our age on this trip,” I told Ciera.

“Call Zel, he may be able to make it happen. You can use your phone and internet on this plane. Juelz has everything for cell and Wi-Fi set up on here,” Ciera said, laughing. I decided to call Zelan and ask if there was a way that Toya could come.

"What's up, baby? You miss me already, and the plane hasn’t even landed yet,” Zel spoke when he answered the phone.

“Hey babe, I do miss you but that’s not what I was calling for. Babe, I forgot to ask you if Toya could come with us, Me and Ci need someone our age on this trip,” I stated.

“Ari, do you trust her? She will need to know that she can’t tell anyone or post any pictures on social media, and if any of you go on social media, you need to turn your locations off.

As a matter of fact, security will turn the locations off and set a code that only they will be able to turn back on,” Juelz said. Zelan must have me on speaker.

“I trust her, y’all. Can she come, please?” I begged.

“Yeah, she can come, don’t tell her where she is going. Let her know a car will pick her up in a few hours, we will need to set her up a flight,” Juelz said.

“Thanks, y’all! Zelan I love you, baby. I will call when we get settled,” I stated.

“Ok, babe, talk to you soon,” he responded as he ended the call, and I immediately dialed Toya

“Hey friend, what’s popping?” Toya said answering the phone.

“Hey bestie, can you leave town for a while? We going on vacation and I need my best bitch here too. I can't say where we're going, and I don't know when we are coming back. But I do know we about to be LIT! If you decide to come you can’t tell anyone where you will be, no one Toy!” I spoke.

“Hell yeah, I can go! I need a vacation away from this nigga. I hope he don’t give me no problems when I’m packing. He on this other shit with his hands, Sis. I don’t know how much more I can take,” Toya said, getting emotional.

“Toya, I know you not letting this muthafucker put his hands on you! Oh, hell nawl!” I screamed, and everyone looked at me.

“I’m good Sis, I need this time to get away and regroup. I’m down, my mouth is sealed, what to do I do next?” Toya asked. I was still heated from her last statement.

“Just be dressed. Pack one outfit and a pair of slides. I'll get you when you get here. Don’t give his ass a reason to say shit. Someone will call you when they are outside, so get dressed now. See you later tonight. Remember what I said about being low key,” I told her ending the call.

I was so pissed, I decided to relax and take a nap.

I would find out what was really good with Toya when I saw her.

If it’s some bullshit, I’m calling Zelan to go over there and fuck ole boy straight the fuck up!
