Ray kissed sleeping Darren before leaving the apartment and locking it behind her. She walked down the two flights of stairs and out the front door. Ava, Shea, and Gabbie were waiting in Ava's car for her.

"Sorry. I was longer than I thought," she joined Shea in the back seat.

"It's okay. Welcome," Gabbie smiled back at her.

"Hello there my love," Shea said as he grabbed her hand.

Ray giggled as they took off. It took them only twenty minutes in the car to arrive at the shopping mall. They walked inside to the food court.

"I'm heading to the sports section for me swimwear," Ava said, "I like wearing something that's supporting and tighten around my skin." Gabbie blushed at the thought.

"I'm going to head towards the normal swimwear. I don't need anything expensive either," Ray said.

"Ya, with your breasts always growing, you'll probably need a new one next year," Shea said.

Ray blushed, "Shea!"

"Oh! But those fat bags off your chest is beautiful on you!"

"Ass," Ray started to walk away.

"No! Wait! I'm sorry!" Shea chased after her, "I'll buy you food to make up for it."

"You better."

"Your friends are funny," Ava said as she grabbed Gabbie's hand.

"You really think so?"

Ava nodded, "Ya I do."

Rayanne and Shea walked to the bikini area and started to look.

"Any particular style you're looking for?" Shea asked.

"Affordable, is that a style?"

"Well, I found a weird cow spotted one."

"Don't you dare!"

He put it back on the rack, "Duly noted."

They looked around for a while before trying on three different bikinis. While dressed in them, Ray took a picture of herself and sent them to Shea and Darren. Not finding any of them to her full liking, they continued their search. Ray's phone went off.

'HOLY SHIT YOU LOOK HOT IN THEM ALL!' DB

'You really think so?' RD

'Yes!' 'Have you picked one yet?' DB

'No. I'm going to keep looking.' RD

'Show me more if you find any.' DB

'Will do!' RD

Ava had already picked out a black with gray detailed sports bra and matching tight shorts. They were searching around for Gabbie's swimwear.

"How about something that's black," Ava said.

Gabbie giggled, "Black looks good on you, but not really on me."

"Black looks good on anyone Doll."

"Even so, I would prefer color."

"Alright." They kept looking through the swimsuits. "Are you sure you want a one piece?"

"I don't have anything to hold up the top of a bikini," she touched her chest, "And two pieces show off my tummy weirdly. I just feel comfortable in a full piece."

Ava smiled at her, "Alright, if that's what you want."

At the end of the shopping trip, Ava bought her stuff, Gabbie got a dark blue with light pink detailed one piece, and Rayanne got a black bikini with vibrant green, blue, orange, and pink details.

Ray walked through the doors to the apartment to see Darren sitting on the couch. "I'm home," she smiled, placing her shopping bag on the table and joining him.

They kissed intensely. "How was it?"

"Pretty fun. Shea bought me lunch."

"That's nice of him."

"Ya it was."

Darren stood up, "I'm going to run a quick errand."

"Oh, alright. You could have asked me to do it while I was out."

"No. It's fine." He walked towards the door, "I won't be long."

"Alright. I love you."

"I love you too."

"Be safe!"

He closed the door behind him.
