Falling (Sequel To Losing My Balance)

Part 14

Ali p.o.v.

Dress store. 2:30pm.

A week and a half before the wedding.

So I'm at the dress store with my moms, Laila and Zendaya looking for the perfect wedding dress and the guys are getting fitted for tuxedos. Kinda late right? Well I have been getting side tracked allot lately. Rory has been getting in trouble allot at school (Like seriously, how much trouble could a 1st grader cause), I've been trying to finish up potty training Ari, and putting together last minute wedding plans like what kind of cake I want or what kind of flowers I want.

I tried on the final dress and stepped out the changing room.

"Thats the one!" Laila and Solé said together with enthusiasm.

"I love it." Daya exclaimed.

"We're taking this one!" My mom exclaimed across the store to the sales woman. She rushed over to us.

"My gosh! You look so beautiful! Are you definitely sure ur getting this one? It would pain me if you left it behind." She said in one breath. I looked in the mirror at myself one more time and smiled.

"Yea im sure."

We left the store after I purchased the dress.

Ray p.o.v.

Home. 3:43pm.

Things been kinda quiet here since Ali has been so busy with the wedding and stuff. She invited me but im not going because best believe when the pastor says who objects I will be the first one standing up and saying I do.

I been chilling solo since Craig came back. My life has been a routine since then. Wake up, eat, goto practice, eat, shower, sleep, watch t.v. Sleep. repeat. Life gets pretty boring when u live alone.

I was playing Grand Theft Auto when I heard a knock on the door. I cursed under my breath before I paused the game and walked to the door. I looked in the peephole and damn near shit myself when I saw who was at the door.

I opened the door.  Zonnique smiled at me before hugging me. It took a while for me to hug back. She pulled away and looked me over.

"So are you gonna let me in or continue to stare at me like im gonna shoot you." She said sarcastly before laughing a lil. I stepped out her way and took her bag.

"Where's Zuri?" I asked.

"My mom is bringing her by tomorrow." She said.

There was an awkward silence before she spoke again.

"Ray, when I was away, I realized how selfish I was being before I left. I was jealous and stupid. Im willing to make this relationship work if you are." She said looking in my eyes.

I thought about it. Why break it off with Zonnique when Ali is getting married to Craig in less than 2 weeks. I pulled Zonnique by the looo of her jeans and hugged her.

"I've missed you." I said simply.

"So is that a yes " I nodded my head before her lips came crashing into mine.

Right now, I had the chance to get my life back on track. But I still love Ali.

Ali p.o.v.

Ray house. 4:05pm.

I pulled up to Ray house. I didnt feel like going home so soon and I wanted to chill. I knocked on the door and waited. Ray opened the door and stood in the opening.

"Hey, Ali." He seemed nervous.

"Hey Ray." I tried to get into the house but he wouldnt move. "Wassup?" I asked.

"Im fine, thanks for asking" he had a boyish grin on his face.

"No, I meant wassup as in why wont you let me in" he was hiding something.

"Um, the um.." The door opened wider to reveal Zonnique with a smug look on her face. I looked up at Ray confused.

"Zonnique is back." I looked down.

"Oh." I said quietly.

He told Zonnique to go up stairs so he could tlk to me. We went into the living room and sat on opposite couches.

"Look Ali." He looked at a lost for words.

"You want to try and work things out with Zonnique" I stated more than asked.

"Yea." I scoffed.

"Wow. This is how u must have felt when I broke up with you" I looked away.

"It was way worst, believe me. And plus ur getting married in less than a week, so its for the best." He said. I nodded.

"I guess your right." I stood up and tried to walk towards the door. He grabbed my hand.

"Are you upset Ali?" I shook my head and got my hand out of his grip and left.

I guess we're over... Again.

Yikes! So Ali is going through with the wedding and Ray is trying to start over with Zonnique but he still loves Ali. Smh. Ali and Ray are "over" again because Ali is getting married. Anyways... Check out my new story From Time. Btw this book is almost finished :'(
