Chapter 123: Chapter 123

The next day the Reyes and Laurence families sent Ayanna off at the airport. Just like last time Ray accompanied Ayanna and would fly back once she was settled in.

"Will you take it to the next step?" Cedric asked Ray when they were alone at the side.

"Yeah. Will you let me?" Ray asked Cedric.

Cedric nodded. "In the end it's Ayanna's choice. Even my parents won't object."

"She'll think it's still part of the plan." Ray said with a sigh.

"It still is. Just think of it as a long term engagement. Get to know each other more in this time." Cedric told his best friend.

"At least it will keep her safe." Ray said with a smile.

After saying their goodbyes Ayanna and Ray boarded the plane to leave.

"Two weeks." Adrianna told Cedric.

"I think she can go a month this time." Cedric said, shaking his head.

"What are you talking about this time?" Priscilla Reyes asked her son.

"Oh, we're betting on how long Ayanna will stay in America this time." Cedric told his mom.
