23: babysitting

"You need to stop fucking up my hair." Rayna complained fixing her hair.

"My bad.. here let me help you fix it." Teezy said grabbing the comb from her.

She raised her arms up and he picked her up placing her on the bathroom countertop.

She turned towards the mirror sitting cross cross apple sauce so she could see what he was doing.

He started combing her hair any kind of way, forcing the comb through any knots. "Ouch shit, be careful. Feel like when my mama used to comb my hair."

He laughed and tried doing it more gentle but he was making her hair worse. "Uhh I got the comb stuck."

"Getchoo ass back."

"Wait, wait, holdup. I got this." He started yanking the comb trying to pull it out.

"God lee, you gone give me a concussion like that. Go head." She said moving her head away from him.

"Harder than it looks, I won't mess it up next time."

"Mhmm." She knew he was cap so she just kept taking the comb out.

Meanwhile...

"Bruhh I said I was sorry for calling you aggravating." Ramir told Myla.

"No cause you probably meant it."

"I did, you are aggravating but I still like you tho." He laughed and she rolled her eyes then smiled.

"Irritating." She mumbled opening the door all the way.

"I know you ain't talking."

"Don't make me put you out."

"Don't start. Come on." He said walking upstairs.

"You don't have practice?"

"Would I be here if I had practice?"

"Don't get smot."

smot= being flip, saying slick shit, being a smart ass, etc.

"Don't ask stupid questions."

She sucked her teeth and stuck her middle finger up at him.

"Don't be flipping the bird at me."

"Fuck you and the bird."

"That don't even make sense." He straight faced her.

"Make it make sense."

"Sound like somebody mama."

Meanwhile...

*RING RING RING*

"Fuck." Ramon groaned balls deep inside China as his phone rung for the second time.

He reached over and grabbed it ignoring China's complaint.

"Hello?" He asked since he didn't look at the caller id. He laid down on the bed grabbing a pillow for his head.

"Hey, I know this is probably weird but I was wondering if you could babysit for me?" Kuzia asked.

"Wish I could, but I'm busy." He answered as China started swirling her tongue around his tip.

He was tempted to hang up in Kuzia's face but he let her continue ranting. "I just can't believe he won't see her or help in the slightest way possible. I didn't even ask for much, just for him to spend time with her."

China started giving him that gawk-gawk-3000 and he quickly muted the phone.

"Yeah what should I do?" Kuzia asked.

"Shh." He told China, she nodded and he unmuted trying to come up with something to say. He didn't hear half of what she said and he wasn't sure he could talk straight.

"Umm.. what time you... need a babysitter." He asked then went back on mute. The babysitter part was really the only thing he remembered hearing.

"6 o'clock."

He glanced at the time seeing it was only 1.

"I gotchuu."

She started ranting again but he was on mute not paying attention to anything she was saying. Kuzia kept rambling on and on thinking he was paying attention.

Eventually, he bussed. China slid a condom on his dick and winced as she sat on it.

"Ima have to call you back." He unmuted then hung up in Kuzia's face not waiting for a response.

"Rayna wan see sum." Teezy asked.

"Sure."

He bellyflopped on the bed and she looked at him like bitch really.

"What was the point?"

"Ion know."

They both just looked at eachother blankly. They looked at eachother just blinking like the man in that meme for like two minutes straight.

"Umm...chile anyways so, guess what."

"What."

"Ion know I just wanted to break the silence. Thought I'd come up with something." She shrugged.

They sat there just blinking for a few more seconds then randomly started laughing.

"It got so awkward just now." Teezy laughed.

"Ain't never lied."

"Welcome to Chic-Fil-A what can I get ya?" Ray asked the customer dryly.

They started ordering and he took down their order.

When they left the coworker who wants to be a manager came up to him. He sighed already knowing she was bouta irritate him.

"Hey so I overheard you didn't say my pleasure, can you be a little bit more mindful of that."

He looked her dead in her face and turned around.

She walked around him so he was facing him. "Umm.. I'm trying to help here be a little more considerate maybe." She half smiled. "Also, can you talk to the customers with a little more enthusiasm."

"Damn, I ain't know you was the manager."

"I'm not."

"Then why you correcting me? We getting payed the same amount, you overdoing your job title."

"Just consider what I said." She forced a smile and walked off. He shook his head at her laughing to himself.

When his break came he called Rayna.

"Hello?" Rayna answered.

"Why you sound out of breath?"

"Cause I just ran a fuckin block. Teezy said he faster than me so we raced, and he was right. Never again." She said truthfully. "Anyways wassup."

"Why carol come by me after I take a customer talkin bout I needa say my pleasure and be more enthusiastic." He complained and she laughed.

"Her ass aggravating, the other day I dropped something and she came behind me giving a speech bout how I needa be careful. Plus she stay kissing the managers asses."

"Exactly, she want be a manager so bad. You getting paid the same amount, relax."

They talked for Rays entire break and he went back to his shift.

Soon 5 o'clock rolled around and Ramon forced himself to get up remembering he told Kuzia he'd babysit.

He took a shower, got dressed, and went to Kuzia's house.

He knocked and she let him in.

"Where you going?" He asked walking in closing the door behind him.

"Bartender interview. I need a night job so it's easier for my parents to babysit when I gotta work." She answered and he nodded in response.

"Where she at?"

"Upstairs, I fed her so she shouldn't get hungry. If she does the snacks in the pantry. She knows where pretty much everything is. She's allergic to jam, so don't make her a pb & j if she asks."

"Ight."

"CAMRIII."

The small child came in the room and Kuzia bent down to talk to her.

"This is mommy's friend Ramon, he's gonna watch you until I get back. Okay? Behave. If your good I'll bring you to get ice cream tomorrow."

Kuzia left and Ramon sat on his phone while Camri played with toys infront of him.

"Are you my dad?" She randomly asked him and he shuffled uncomfortably.

"Nope."

"Ohh." She frowned and went back to playing with her toys.

She handed him some toys to play with, so he got on the floor and played with her.

After a while they warmed up to eachother and Ramon was holding her above his head running around the house. She was laughing trying to clap and hold on to his arms.

^like this. (Ignore how they look)

"WEEEEEE." Camri cheered clapping.

Kuzia walked in happy she got the job and laughed at the two of them.

Ramon didn't even notice she walked in and almost ran into her. He put a now dizzy Camri down helping her stand up for a little until she caught her balance.

"Heyy, thank you for babysitting. How much I owe you?" She asked grabbing her wallet.

"Nahh don't worry about it."

"You sure?"

"Yeah."

"You want something to eat or something."

"Nah, ima head home. Let me know if you ever need a babysitter." He smiled walking out.

He got home showered again and went straight to sleep.

Ray walked in the house mumbling the lyrics to throat baby and went to fix himself some food.

"Heyyy." Rayna greeted. She was sitting at the table talking to Ramir.

"Wassup, what y'all making. I want some." He asked sniffing the air trying to see if he could guess what it was.

"Wassup, we made barbecue pork chops." Ramir answered.

"It got enough for me?"

"Yea, we made 12."

"Where Ramon?" Ray asked seeing he wasn't in the living room or kitchen.

"Upstairs sleep." Rayna answered.

"Let's go pour water on him!" Ramir suggested. Ray shook his head no and Rayna nodded and said "bet."

Ramir got a cup of water and the other two followed him upstairs.

Ray stood in the doorway watching, yet trying to have no parts.

Ramir crept up on Ramon and Rayna followed him recording. Ramir threw the water and Ramon got up swinging on him.

Rayna was weak as hell recording, until Ramon socked her too.

Ray stood in the doorway weak watching the three of them fight. At this point they weren't even aiming for a specific person they was just swinging.

Keyonna ended up walking pass hearing the commotion. "YALL BETTER STOP IT RIGHT NOW FOR I BEAT YALL ASSES!"

The three of them stopped fighting and Ray tried holding in his laugh so he doesn't get in trouble with them.

Keyonna made them apologize but they got cut off by the oven beeping. They used that as an excuse to get out of the conversation.

They went downstairs and fix their plates in silence, they were on there phones for about 5 minutes eating until they got over it and started talking to eachother again.
