Chapter 7

After their eventful day yesterday Calloway suggested the girls go have some fun, they'd meet back up with the guys later on which sounded good at first but then none of them could decided on what to do first, Porsha wanted to go get an all out spa treatment, someone to pamper her since she had to give up so much when her dad was arrested and she had to adjust to living life with moon who had become like a second father to her and she appreciated it more then anything but the lifestyle of having to cut back on her spending habits and live more modestly didn't sit well with her at first.

She wanted to shop and be able to spend without a budget but knew she had to take the good with the bad and adjust to which she did now she wanted this spa day so she could forget about everything even it was just for an hour, Ash wanted to go hang out with the lead band who was playing in the cafe, she'd brought her guitar and really wanted to use it and sing her heart out, Meena just wanted to hang out on the beach and text back and forth with her new boyfriend, Tia being Tia just wanted someone to buy her drinks and dote on her and Chrissy wanted to go surf boarding. Rosita was ok with whatever, she got the guys to take care of the kids while they did their thing and was pretty much ok with it all she was just happy to get some time away from her piglets who she adored more then anything but sometimes even super moms needed a break. "Tell you guys what, why don't we write down what we want to do, put it in a hat and shuffle it that way its fair."

"I mean I'm cool with it" Ash chimed in before popping a cheese puff in her mouth. Everyone gave a cheery yes together and sealed the decision. "Great. Shuffle it is, hang on I'll be right back I need to get some paper" Rosita scurried away leaving the girls to their own devices. Meena who was staring at her phone was giggling like a school girl. "What's so funny?" chrissy asked curiously, immediately meena covered her phone with her trunk "Um, Nothing. Just a joke between me and Darrius."

"Oh really? Do you mind if I take a look?" Truth be told, Meena was almost a grown elephant what she and Darius were texting back and forth was her business but Chrissy wanted to mess with her a little bit.

Meena flinched back and shoved her phone in her back pocket "No, I-Its personal."
Lifting her hands in defeat Chrissy decided to back off knowing to leave well enough alone but she didn't expect for Tia to grab the phone from meenas back pocket and start scrolling thru "Well, well look at what we have here" Meena starting reaching for the phone "No please don't. Give it back" Tia ducked out of her reach and started giggling "Very nice you kiss your mom with that mouth" Meena was growing increasingly frustrated, blush spreading along her cheeks as Tia began to read some of the messages out loud, at this point it was Ash who stepped in to defend her friend "Tia, she said give it back. Its not a joke to be taking someone's phone like that much less reading their PRIVATE messages mind you now give it back RIGHT now. I mean it!"

"Ash is right, the jokes over just give it back ok?"

Tia scoffed whatever and threw the phone in meenas direction before storming off the other way. The girls decided not to follow and began to comfort a distraught meena. She'd gotten her phone back but messages never meant for anyone else to read having now been read out loud could never be taken back.

Tears began to stream down her face as she covered herself with her ears, by the time Rosita got back Porsha was gone, she'd taken Meena back to the hotel room to try to calm her down. The girls promised they'd make it up to her tomorrow by going with her to get pampered.

"Its just you me and Ash" Chrissy pointed out sadly, "God I cant believe Tia DID that!" "Where is Tia anyway?" Rosita asked "Should we..."
"No!" Chrissy interjected "Not after what she did, we can look for her later but right now lets just try and salvage what's left of the day."

"I don't know..." ash began "I'm not gonna be able to have fun knowing Meena is crying her eyes out." Sighing quietly, Rosita managed a smile "Don't worry about it, I'll go make sure she's ok. I'm sure Porsha could use my help. You guys go enjoy yourselves alright and we'll pick right back where we left off tomorrow right now I don't think there's anything you to can say or do. I'm a mother and Meenas like my own child so I got this. Go on really."
She all but pushed them in the direction of the beach, urging them to go as she headed back to the hotel room. Ash and Chrissy stood there for a moment.

She knew she shouldn't but she kept thinking about the messages on Meenas phone. She had no idea about the private, internal struggle meena had with her weight and Darius commenting how he loved big beautiful women was really sweet but it was their messages none of it was meant to be shared with the world. She would have to have a talk with Tia and her dad later in private this was not acceptable behavior and if she was going to start causing drama like this good singer be damn she had to tell her dad what just happened and at least give Tia a chance to apologize for what she'd done.

They spent the rest of that afternoon sunbathing on the beach in total silence, at some points she really felt the need to say something but kept backtracking. Ash asked if she wanted a lemonade at one point but nothing else. She was zoned out and so into her own thoughts she didn't notice someone standing over her until they said something "Hey cutie, you look lonely. Mind if I join?" She lowered her glasses for a second before scoffing "Your blocking my sun weasel face and I'd prefer that you didn't."

"Oh spicy." The guy smirked "I like that, my names Miron Leotis what's yours?"

Having had enough drama for the day Chrissy looked up again "First off, I never asked for your name, second off I'm not giving you mine so just crawl back into the coke bottle you crawled out of and leave me alone."

"You know I'm starting to see why your all alone. Your a total ice queen you know that."
"Yeah" Chrissy shot back "And I also have pepper spray in my bag and if you don't turn around and walk away I wont hesitate to use it!"

He lifted his hands in defense and stood up "Ok, Grandma unbunch your trousers and learn to have some fun. I was gonna offer you a drink but you know what your not worth my time."
"Funny how you say that, yet...YOUR still here!" Chrissy shot back. "Now go on boy tuck tail and run the other way. Go on. Shoo"

She could tell the conversation wasn't over yet but he didn't get a chance to say anything before someone shouted heads up and slammed a volleyball right into the back of his head knocking him straight off his feet, He cried out "what the heck was that! Whoever threw that is gonna pay!" he struggled to get back up his buddy who'd been standing near him tried to help but he shoved him away. "Get off me!" He shouted "I'm fine" He was swaying off to the side which means he clearly wasn't. "Dude we need to get you some help. You don't look so good."
The guy was gritting his teeth more then likely from the pain and pointed in Chrissy direction "This isn't over. I swear to god you haven't seen the last of me."

The boy and his buddy hobbled away and Chrissy sarcastically bite out "Nice meeting you" Ash came running up seconds later and was laughing so hard tears were coming down her face, "Oh my god that was to perfect, I couldn't have planned that better if I tried" She plopped herself down on the towel and everything suddenly clicked into place. "wait...so...that was you? The volleyball and the..."

"Yup. All of it, I saw him bugging you and bribed some of the girls into 'accidently' hitting the ball in this direction. Chrissy stared confused "Bribed them how?" Taking a sip of her drink she smirked "I told them about how your dad was Calloway and no surprise they were huge fans so I told them I'd get them in the hotel during our gig free of charge."

"Wait, but we're not planning any concert and my dad sure as heck isn't going to do it. He's on vacation."
"About that..." Ash trailed off "Think you can convince your dad to sing in the show with us? I'll ask moon if he can pull some strings with the hotel manager so they can let us perform one of our routine shows towards the end of the week."
everything in her wanted to say no but all the hope welling up in Ash's eyes she just couldn't so Chrissy nodded and slumped back in defeat "Oh he's not gonna be happy when I tell him but maybe I can get him to change his mind." Squealing in delight Ash was very careful not to hit Chrissy with any of her quills. "Thank you, your the best."

Chrissy chuckled gently "No problem." She was very wrong about that, it was a problem. A very big one in fact. How the heck was she going to convince her dad to sing for a gig that not even moon himself knew about yet. She would have her chance tonight during dinner. Hopefully everything fell into place quickly. Yah Chrissy knew that was to much to hope for.
