Chapter 14

My bags were packed in less than two hours, and I barely got any sleep. I was too ecstatic to be leaving the country. Never in my twenty years of life did I think I would ever get such an opportunity. The fact that Ray was placing it at my feet brought me even more joy. I was a little upset that Mocha wouldn’t be joining us, but that was cool. I knew she was doing her thing in the A and getting that Last Kings money. Early the next morning, my personal housekeeper Maria assisted me with waking up and getting dressed. She was a tiny, older woman, and she put me in the mind of Grandma Rae. Ray tried to get her to move in with us, but she declined, insulted. She had owned her house for more than thirty years and wasn’t going to give that up. So having Maria was a good thing on my part, especially since she treated me with the kindness and love a grandmother would give a granddaughter. After the last bag was placed inside of the Hummer limo parked outside of the house, I gave her a big hug, knowing it would be a week before I saw her again.

“Maria?” I said into her hair.

“Sí, señora?” Maria said, releasing me, holding my hands.

“Do me a favor and don’t do any work for the next week.” I smiled big because she and I both knew that wasn’t going to happen.

Maria gave a big laugh.

“Señora, working is in my blood,” She looked lovingly into my eyes. “You do me a favor and have a good time, OK?”

I nodded, and with one last hug, I let the driver open my door, and I climbed in the limo across from Ray. The limo was decked the fuck out with a TV and a minibar. I was thinking OK! I’m feeling this! Even though I drove an all-black Range Rover, I was still loving the luxury.

“You ready?” Ray asked, cheesing and rubbing his fingers on his goatee.

“I’m ready,” I smiled at him feeling the butterflies in my stomach. “I’ve never been on a plane before.”

“Well, there’s a first time for everything, right?” he asked me and motioned for the driver to pull off.

I turned to look out the tinted window at Maria once more. I knew she couldn’t see me, but she waved nevertheless as the limo pulled off. I smiled and leaned back in my seat, knowing that ahead of me lies a beautiful paradise.

“I gotta go holla at Tyler before we hit the airport,” Ray told me.

“Cutting it close, don’t you think?” I asked, wary that we could potentially miss our flight.

“We’ll be coo,” he turned to the right slightly and yelled to get the driver’s attention. “Pierre! Make a stop at Amore!”

I watched Pierre, a little African man, tip his hat acknowledging Ray’s words. He drove us through the woods and finally we reached a highway. We had two hours before our flight left, and we had to be there an hour before.
