Ciera

I had been trying to call Juelz all night, and he is not answering his phone. Normally I wouldn’t worry because he would always follow up with a text if he was busy. Hell, I didn’t get that either, so now I’m officially worried.

“Ari, can I come in?” I asked knocking on my sister’s door.

“Yeah, come in boo,” she responded.

“Morning babes, have you spoken to Zelan at all last night or this morning?” I asked Ari as she sat up in bed.

“No, I haven’t. What’s the matter, Ci?” Ari asked, getting out of bed to grab her cell phone.

“I don’t know, I have been calling Juelz all night and I got no answer.

I started calling this morning and I got no answer, nor did I get a text, and I normally get a text to let me know that he was busy,” I told her.

Ari started calling Zelan, and she got the same thing, no answer.

I was worried but I’m going to kick negativity in the ass and have only positive thoughts.

“Look let’s get ourselves ready for a day of shopping.

Once they get our calls, and messages, they will call us back.

Remember, they sent us out here for a reason,” Ari stated, and I agreed.

Going back to my room, I just had to take it all in.

This house, and my bedroom was so freaking gorgeous there is nothing that I would change about it.

The bedroom was the size of the family room downstairs, and that room is huge.

There was a sitting area where I could look out into the beautiful blue water, a chandelier, and there is a shower out on the balcony.

The way they have it setup is so dope, it had different marbles and stones.

Benches adorned the sides of the shower, and a shower bed was also inside.

That shit was just sexy as hell, I wish I had a man to try it out with.

I can only imagine the shower head shooting from everywhere and making love on that damn bed.

Wheeeeewww let me go take a cold shower, looking at this shit and my raging hormones got me on one this morning.

I was finally dressed and went downstairs, to join the rest of the family.

“Good morning everyone,” I spoke as I walked in the kitchen there was a chef standing at the stove cooking breakfast.

“Good morning baby, how did you sleep? Grams asked me.

“I slept ok, I have been a little worried about Juelz. I can’t reach him, and every time I call him it goes straight to voicemail.

“Baby, don’t stress about that. The boys are going to be fine.

He’s working, Ciera, and when he’s working, it’s hard for him to answer the phone in his line of work.

Let him handle his business, baby, and I promise you, the moment he’s somewhere secure, he'll call you.

Now, let's enjoy this meal and the fine-ass chef that prepared it,” Grams said, making me laugh.

When I tell y’all Laila is beautiful, my grams is the SHIT!

Don't get it twisted and think she's one of those grandmothers walking around in a housecoat and fuzzy slippers all day.

Hell nah. Lai had a coke-bottle shape that would make women half her age jealous.

Her skin stayed flawless, her face was beat to the GAWDS at all times, and she carried herself like the queen she was. Everywhere she went, heads turned.

Now, don't get me wrong. My grandmother was crazy as hell, but she was the good kind of crazy. The kind that would pray over you on Sunday morning and help you hide a body by Sunday evening if somebody played with her family.

The only time she wasn't wearing makeup was when she was going to beat the brakes off somebody’s ass.

I mean somebody had to push her…Nah, I’m lying; we’re talking about Grams here.

She’ll push them and still act a whole damn fool.

That's when the lashes came off, the hoop earrings come out of her ears, and she’ll remind you exactly who the hell she was.

“Ok, I’ll relax and enjoy my vacation Grams,” I spoke, and the Chef came over to me.

“Good morning ma’am, what would you like for breakfast?” he asked.

“I would like a veggie omelet, with pepper jack cheese,” I smiled and very satisfied with my order, I was ready to eat.

“Give me five minutes, and I will have your breakfast ready,” the Chef said. I looked at Ms. Simone and she was on the phone with someone smiling. I wonder if she has herself a lil boo thang. Toya and Ari were in deep conversation, so I decided to go sit and see what they had going on.

“Heyyy, what’s up?” I asked, taking a seat next to them.

“Nothing much, just ready to enjoy this beautiful day. What do we have on the agenda?” Toya asked.

“We’re going shopping and to tour the Island. I heard Grams, Ms. Cynt, and Ms. Simone talking and we’re having a BBQ tonight, the Chef is going to cook our food for us,” Ari spoke.

“Morrrniingg everybody! CiCi, I love you, my brother, and my sister!” Kari yelled as she came running in the kitchen up to me kissing my belly. That little girl was so beautiful. I loved everything about her and couldn’t ask for a better big sister for my babies.

“Awwwww, that is so stinking cute,” Ari said, as she smiled at me and Kari.

“Kari you want some eggs and bacon?” Ms. Simone asked her.

“I want what CiCi is eating,” she said looking at the plate the Chef just sat in front of me.

“I will make her a smaller version now ma’am.” Chef Carlo smiled.

“Thank you, this looks delicious,” I told him. Once we got breakfast out the way, everyone got dressed and were ready to head out for the day. My mind traveled to Julez often, but I was not going to keep calling him. I pray they were all alright, I would just wait for him to call me.
