LaLani's POV

Well Hi! Im Lalani Johnson. I am 19 And Trying To Do Big Things In My Life, Yunno? I Have The Greatest Bestfriend That I Could Ever Ask For Named Gabriel . He's Super Faboulous And We're Finally Moving In Toghther Like We Promised Each Other That We Would Someday. Gabriel's Brother Sammie Is Moving With Us.. And I Kinda Have The BIGGEST Crush On Him.. I Dont Know If He Notices Cause I Try My Best To Not Let It Show But.. I've Been Crushing Since I First Laied My Eyes On Him. He Was.. Pure Sexyness. Everything About Him Drove Me Wild. Gabriel Didnt Really Like The Fact That Im Crushing On Sammie But He'll Live .

"Come On Gabriel! Youre Moving To Slow! Can You Believe That We're Finally Doing This? Like Oh My God. If Someone Would've Told Me We'd Be Doing This Down The Line Someday , I Wouldnt Believe Them. IM SO EXCITED!!!" I Yell Down The Stairs To Gabriel. "Yeah, Yeah. Shutup Girl We Just Got Here You Might Not Like It" Gabriel Shouts Right Back. I Dissmissed His Words And Found My Room. I Pounced On My California King Bed And Sunk Into Heavenly Thoughts About Atlanta. It Was Tough Shit Leaving My Family Behind In Florida. But Oh Well. We'd Called The Moving Services 4 Weeks Ahead Of Time To Get Everything Settled. I Heard Footsteps From Outside My Door. "Yo Lalani Come Here!" Sammie Usherd Me His Way. I Climbed Out My Bed And Proceeded To Wherever He Was Taking Me. My House.. Felt Amazing. I Was Really In A Place I Could Call My Own. I Went Downstairs To Find Gabriel And Sammie Hooking Up Our Flat Screen. "NO MOVE IT OVER THIS WAY YOU IDIOT!" Sammie Yelled From The Left Side Of The Tv. Sam And Gabriel Didnt Have The Best Relationship Between Eachother. "Hey Chill. Whats Up?" I Attempt To Make Peace Between These Two Jackasses. "He Keeps Telling Me To Move The Chords This Way And That Way But I Just Cant!" Gabriel's Dramatic Ass Cries. I Whisper For Him To Just Go To His Room And Unpack. "Yo Sam Give Me The Chords." He Swings The Chords My Way. "So Why'd Yall Choose To Move To Atlanta? And Why This House?" Sammie Sparks Up A Conversation. "Well, Its Magic City Baby! Ha. And This House Because It Was In Our Income's Price Range, And It Was Absolutly Gourg." He Smiles At Me "Well, Thats Cool I Guess. Thank You Again Lani For Letting Me Tag Along" "No Problem." I Giggle. We Finished Setting The Tv Up Then Started Unpacking. For A Week We Were Running Everywhere Getting Everything Settled And Unpacked. We Were Eating Out Every Night Cause All Of Us Were Too Lazy To Go Shopping. But We'd Heard About This Club Called PURE And We Decided To Go. Finally I Get To Buss Out These Sparkly Christian Louboutins And My Mini Sparkly Dress. I Curl My Long Hair And Put On A Little Bit Of Makeup

Sammie's POV

Lord Did Lalani Look Beautiful Tonight. We Were Going To PURE Some Ratchet Ass Club She'd Heard About And Wanted Us All To Go. The Club Life Aint Really For Me, But Its Anything For Her.

I tried to match her attire. I dressed in an all grey polo tee and My Black Polo jeans with some Grey Sperry's. I suited that with My silver Rolex and My lucky silver chains. Tonight was gonna hopefully be good.

"Hey Sammie! Youu Ready? " Lalani asked standing tall in front of me. She's a short girl compared to me But with these heels on She was about My height.

I hesitated before answering her because I was examining Her from head to toe. she Was just so beautiful and I hoped one day to make her mine. "What? "she asked with a voice filled with concern. I smiled. "Nothing.. You Look Good shawty. " I reply. she blushed and giggled. "Thank youu . you do Too. swagger jacker. "

She noticed... that's Good I guess. We stared at eachother with an akward silence between us until she got the balls to speak Up.

"Well me and Gabriel are gonna be in the car Okay ?" she turned to walk away. That assss though. Good lawd. I wiped that thought out of My mind. "Right behind You. I grabbed My phone and bounced. ***We Got To the club and of course Gabriel got Ratchet. I didn't really want him to be gay But I dealt With it. he is My brother after All. Sometimes I think My tough Love went a little bit Too far that's why he is the way he is. Fragile. Anyways. We Got in the club quick cause of Lalani flirting with the bouncer. I wasn't jealous or Nothing.. We Got to the bar And of course we went all out. Lalani got her a huge fruity ass drink I forgot what It was called. But Gabriel ordered us a bottle of pure vodka.

Some Fine Ass Females Sat Down Beside Me And Asked Began A Conversation With Me. "So, What You Finna Buy Us?" The Short One With Blonde Hair , And Green Eyes. The Other Chick Looked Shy. "Well First Tell Me Yall Names And How Old Yall Are?" "Im Kayle , Thats Gigi And Were Both Turning 22 Tonight. TURN UP!!!!!" She Yelled Over The Music. "Ahaa. Okay, Okay. Well Uh AYE" I Usher The Bartender's Sexy Ass Towards Me. "Yo Get These Two Beautiful Women Whatever They Want Alright?" They Giggled Hella Hard , Thanked Me Then Bounced. A Few Minuets Late I Had A Super Buzz On And Felt The Need To Dance. I Found Kayle And Grinded Up On Her The Whole Night. I Might Just Get Some You Never Know.

But He Grabbed My Arm In The Most Gentlest Way. I Turnt And Instantly Fell In Love With His Features. His Hazel Eyes And His Big Lips Were My Main Attraction.

"Yo! Why You Running Away From Me? You Think Ima Bite Ya?" He Joked. "Ha. I Mean Maybe. Mommy Taught Me To Never Play Around With Strangers." I Reply With An Attitude. "Ahaha.

The Cold Shoulder

Lalani's POV

Sammie Didnt Come Home Last Night... Im Not Jelly Or Nothing But.. It Wouldve Been Nice To Know That He Wasnt Dead.. He Spent His Night Dancing Up On Some Ratchet Hoe. She Could NEVER Top Me Even On My WORSE Day. I Felt Some Type Of Way. I Laied In Bed Thinking About Him.

How Could He Really Flirt With This Female In FRONT Of Me At The Bar. THEN Dance On Her The Entire Night, Like.. How Evil Could You Be?! And Then We Go Out Twining. Like.. She Shouldve KNOWN Not To Approach Him. But Oh Well. I Met Some Guy Named Jay And Danced On Him. And Ooo. He Worked Me OUT. Smh. Gabriel Left A Note On My Bedside And I Finally Rolled Over To Read It " Yo Beech! I Left The House Early To Go Apply For The College For Us. Love Youu Trick!" I Giggled And Turned Over.

Anyways I Called Gabriel. "Aye Gabe, You heard from Sammie? " "Girl no. why You worried bout his ass? Where Ever he is I'm sure He's fine. But when I get home GURL! I gotta tell you some Shit. " I sighed slightly "Okay see You when you get home. text me how the application goes mmkay. " "alright. bye " I threw My phone on the bed and went tinge kitchen for some juice. Ooo As soon as I see his... nevermind. Cause I know I can't get mad.. He's not mine.. and never will be... mine..

Sammie's POV.

Goodness last nightwas AMAZING. Kayle and gigi were magically delicious. I gotta see Them again someday. I waltzed down the street from her house to mine since she lived about 6 blocks down.

"I know alottaa people that smile in My face But Talk behind My back everytime I'm gone so When They call My number ion never pick up Ion knoo you Shit bitch leave Me aloonneee." I rap along to the song filling My ears.

When I walked In the house It seemed empty. "Yall home? "I call out. I heard shuffling above Me. "yo Lalani. " I call out But No answer. I walk upstairs and into Her room cause she never locks her door.

"Yo lani you scared Me. why yeen answer when I called out for you? "she stared at me long and her eyes pierced My soul. she sighed a little Then got off her bed and walked into her bathroom.

Well that's odd... noooooo!! WAIT!!! I GET IT. She's jelly. Oh Shit how could I miss That. damn.. imaa Make this up to Her.. But how?

Gabriel's POV.

I sat here in front of This old hag drilling me on the rules and fuckulations of this college. if I hear Her old ass say ONE MORE THING ABOUT "thiiiiissss colllleeeeggeeee "imaa smack her with her long ass titty. that raspy ass voice is Just murdering me slowly.

"mhm mkay. thanks. Thank You " I kept repeating Getting agitated. I raised up and stated that I "had an important meeting to attend" When I really ain't have nowhere to Go. I shook her hand Then went about My business.

I texted Lalani.

Me : Ugh.. remind me to never do This.. ever again! I hated it..why couldn't you do This? youu have the patients. Sisteeer ( Lalani ) : lmfaaoo. wym? What happened? was it that bad? Me: Yaass. it did. imaa Tell you everything when I get back home.

I started the car Then turnt on My radio. "If You a bad girl show me what you twerking with!! " I buckled in while semi twerking to the song. and a second or so later I was flying down the street.

Lalani's POV.

Wow. Did This Fool really think I was gonna talk to him after his shenanigans Last night? Oh hunny No! Smh. I know he wasn't into me. But God, please don't send me mixed signals! I think to myself while in the shower. I step out the shower And butter My body with My lemon scented body butter.

I throw on My Pink jogging sweat suit. it Was all purple My favorite color (: But I walk out of the steamy bathroom and into My Room and Sammie was laid out on My bed. He was in a DEEP sleep snoring and All so I left him alone.

I walked downstairs and as soon as I opened the refrigerator door, Gabriel walked In. He threw his bag On the couch.

"I am exhausted. " He pushes me to the side and reaches for MY apple juice. he's so rude. "Anyways. You didn't even do anything. why are YOU tired? " I snap.

"Well if You must ask I had ti sit and stare at this old raggy saggy woman which made My eyes feel tired. All This sexiness was going to waste Cause I couldn't go anywhere so the thought of that made tired. I couldn't Take a tour cause I didn't have a pass to. and Then she talked My Damn head off about... Shit I don't even remember. But She'll give you the rundown Too." I listened to him talk But I spaced out thinking about Sammie.

"Oh Okay cool " I reply. "That's how I know you wernt listening to me." he threw something at Me. I burst out laughing. "Well how you think That woman felt? " I ask him With satisfaction on My face. He gave me a smirk and walked away to sit on the couch.

Sammie walked downstairs rubbing his eyes. "You're bed is so comfortable. I was gonna just sit there for a second But I fell asleep. Sorry. " he explained himself. I nod My head and turned to walk away. "If you need anything Gabriel I'm in My room okay? " "Okay I'm coming in a second after I Take this shower " I run upstairs. I lock My door for the First time Like ever. About 10 minutes there was a knock on My door.

Gabriel's POV.

I look over to sammie standing there looking dumfounded as hell. I burst out into laughter with tears falling from My eyes. "Heeellllll naaaahh!!! She mad or nah? " I continue laughing.

"Shut up asshole " he caught his little mitchy fit. "Look here Mitch, you brought it on yourself! shouldn't have done What you Did. I should Kick you In you're nuts for messing With her feelings jackass. " I say wiping the tears from My eyes.

"Man. Just SHUT UP. " I dismiss him and Get up to go shower. "Hey wait. " he runs after me. "OH you want My help Now Sammie huh? how cute. " I smirk. "You're her bestfriend .. What should I do? " "Ask her out to dinner. Take her to chipotle. Or olive garden. yaaass olive garden That's her favorite restaurant. But Yeah butter her up ."

I walked away still laughing. I got My phone and turned on My shower music playlist. Yeah... I vybe. and sing in the shower. don't judge Me.

I went to Sit My phone down until I got a text message. It was from Tony. That sexy ass model I met last night. My heart skipped beats as I replied. Tony: Hey Gabriel, It's Tony. Me: Oh Hey! What's Up? Tony: Wondering If I Could Possibly Take You To Dinner Tonight If You Aren't Busy With You're Fam. Me: Um.. Of Course Where At? Tony: It's A Surprise! Call Me With The Address And I'll Pick You Up Around 7.

Oh My God!!!!! I'm beginning to fall in love With Atlanta. I could Get used to this.

Open Field

Sammie's POV.

'Wow. Just Wow. Okay I Get It Lalani. you're mad. You feeling some type of Way about me dancing with those hoes. I get it. But Damn. You dont have to lock your door and ignore me to make me feel bad Like.. dang I screwed Up. Juss chill.' Is What I rehearsed in My mind to Tell her. But No.. I don't know. This Girl drives me insane. I debate with myself for a few more seconds until she unlocked the door.

"Wassup? " "Can I come In? " I asked as My heart raced. "Yeah " she said just above a whisper. I stepped in and sat on her bed. she walked over slowly and laid on her bed beside Me.

"So.. Look, I wanna take You out tonight. can you bless me with That opportunity? Her face lit up slowly. I smiled until seconds later after a room full of silence her facial expression went from happy to confused. "Why? Take one of you're lil HOES out " She got up and tried to run in the bathroom. I grabbed her arm softly.

"Yo.. Chill Lalani. I Don't Want To Take Anyone Else Out. Im just trying to chill with you and get to know you a little bit more on a more personal level. you know? so please just come with me. I promise You won't regret. I'm begging You. " I dropped to My knees in front of Her and made a puppy dog face. She laughed hella hard. "Finally a smile! " I chuckle. "Okay I'll Go! Just never do This again. you're pitiful! "She said still laughing.

Her smile, was So uplifting. I got Up and asked for a hug. She agreed and I embraced her. The smell of her hair drove me crazy.

Tonight is hopefully gonna be Good. "Okay get out let Me get dressed Fool! " she broke our hug And pushed me out.

Lalani's POV

Omfg. Finally!!! My heart is beating at a mile a minute! This was all I wanted! He's so silly and cute! I knew I couldn't stay mad at Him for long.

I ran to My closet and pulled out My All black skinny jeans with slits in them, My tan leggings, And a tan Halter top. I searched for My Tan wedges with black lace but they were most likely in My box of shoes so instead of those I decided to go with My Tan timberlands.

I ran time The shower and stayed in there for about 20 minutes just talking to myself and singing. I dried off and lotioned up with My Lavender Vanilla body cream Then sprayed on the same body mist.

I Got dressed and went to Gabriel's room. "Open Up hoe! " I whispered loud enough for only him to hear Me. He opened the door slowly cheesing hellaa hard.

I rushed in and plopped down on his bed. "Where are YOU going? "he asked me In a very high pitched voice. I smiled "To dinner with Sammie... But I should be asking You the Same Damn thing!! where you think You going Mr sexy? "

I examined Him. He had on a DEEP grey v neck , black skinny jeans And some black vans But he was wearing extra jewelry and had on a dark red tinted lip gloss that made his lips appear bigger. He smiled hard again.

"Well.. You remember That guy I was sitting With Last night? before yo drunken ass rained on My parade " he scoffed. I sunk into The bed I was that sloppy? I thought to Myself. "Uh Yeah.." I lied. "You're lien! " he jumped at Me. "Okay Damn! Nah I don't really remember. But What about Him? " I replied.

"Well he's taking me out Too. I was meaning to talk to You about Him " He was Too happy for me. I giggled to myself at that thought. Shit at least this mystery guy made him happy that's all I really want for him is to be happy .

to be honest, if it wasn't for him I would be in California Right now with My grandmother. But he wanted to live in Atlanta with his main bitch so I had To. But anyways I shook My head and laughed "Well Tell me,how is he? "

"Well he's a model for this huge agency, he goes to school with us, Yay, But He's from Minnesota, He has 4 brothers, he lives in Brentwood That area downtown, But Yeah, He's 22 , He's single and has been for 2 years, He has a daughter, and She's so Damn adorable! But hes kinda mysterious.. But I like It. "

I Was smiling until he said that But I Just let it go to let him have his happy moment. "Ooooooo. he seems cool, when am I gonna meet this mystery Man? " I question Him. "Idk Maybe tonight if y'all don't leave before I do, BUT When did you and Sammie decide to go on a dinner date? "

he put his hand on his hip. "Well earlier.. I guess he felt bad.. But Yeah he practically begged for it on his hands and knees. "I smiled. We talked for a little while longer Then someone rang the door bell and me and Gabriel got hella excited!

Gabriel's POV

Me and Lalani Look at each other then raced out of My room and down the stairs. We halt about 5 feet away from the door.

"YOU ANSWER IT!! " I order Her. I run behind the wall into the hallway. She stood on her tippy toes to Look in the peep hole. She looked Then crouched down again. "he's cute as Hell!! " She whispered. "I know But just open the door jackass! "

She slowly opened the door And peeked around. "Oh Hi.. Can I help youu? " she asked I'm her valley white girl voice. "Um... Is Gabriel home? " "No he isn't Home.. he's out hoeing around most likely. " She joked around. I heard him laughing.

"Well.. alright I'll ------" I run out the hallway. "Ohhh HEY TONY. It looks Like you met My lovely loveable sister " I say in the most sarcastic way I could. "ahaa, Yeah. You ready? " "Yeah let me go get My keys and My phone Alright? "

I run upstairs and nearly tripped over My Own feet. he made me feel soo.. I don't even know how to word It. But I grabbed everything I needed including My Gucci bookbag. I run back downstairs and Sammie stopped me in the hallway. "Who is That? Are you fucking Him? " he gotta lotta nerve asking me something Like that.. I'm grown.. that's PERSONAL!

"Look here, That's confidential. Whatever is going on between me and Him, stays between me and him Alright? " He stared at me With disgust. "Man... I just have a bad feeling bout him.. But do whatever the fuck you wanna do" He pushed me into the wall and walked over to Lalani. I couldn't believe him!. I peeped around the corner. "Oh Sammie, this is Tony, Gabriel's date for tonight." She yelped. "Hi. How You doing? " Tony stuck his hand out for a handshake. Sammie sized him up Then dismissed Him. "Yo Lalani You ready? " She looked hella confused But replied and They soon left. "Nice meeting You! " Lalani yells back while she was walking to her car. We made our Way to his car in this akward silence.

The Night Out

Sammie's POV

She wasn't saying anything nor was she looking in My direction. I screwed up again.. But it was something about this guy that I just wasn't feeling.

"So Lalani, wanna play 21 questions? " I spark up a conversation to ease this akwardness. "Ahaaha. Boy you childish. But yeah Sure. "

"What's you're fav song?" I Ask. "Idk.. umm.. Power trip .. that was the First one that came to mind. " "Ha. Okay, what Bout you're fav color? " "Colors.. aha. But, black, teal and purple. " "cute. what's you're middle name? " "Middle NAMES Cause My Mama wanted to name me everything under the sun, But Tanay kayleena Rivera Gonzalez. "

I burst Out laughing Cause the face she made while she rolled her neck. "Hell nah. So you're WHOLE entire name Is.. Lalani Tanay Kayleena River Gonzalez Johnson? " "exactly. it's alot to say. That's why when people ask me My middle name I Just Tell em Tanay. " she laughed.

We hit a red light and stared at each other. She eased her eyes away from mines But seconds later I felt her fingers creep Up My forearm and she intertwined her fingers With mine. She looked over towards me and smiled. Oo tonight was finna go great.

Lalani's POV

I Was soo busy gazing at him That I didn't even notice we were pulling into Olive Garden. Ooooooo I was soo ready to grub. We parked and I reached to gather My things in the backseat.

I turned around to see Sammie smiling hard. I know I should've never held his hand But I was so caught up in the moment that It only felt Right To.

I've always been the type to be in long term relationships, and Sammie on the other hand is a One night stand type of guy. I'm sure if this goes any further I'm going to end up getting hurt I see it coming.

I broke the silence and took My glance off of him by Getting out the car. "So what made youu take me here? " he laughed and dismissed me. I bet he talked to Gabriel!

We were seated and we continued our Game. "So Sammie, whats you're favorite shopping market? " I ask. "Walmart! Duh " I giggled. The waiter interrupted my next question. "Heey yaall! how can I assit you guys today? " She darkskined, and short, with Long hair and even longer eyelashes, Grey contacts, long ass nails ,But she was HELLAA thick.

I glanced over to see Sammie examining her as Well. I didn't care.. it was Just a Look. I guess. She brought our food back and I began to grub.. I was in heaven it seemed. We giggled and talked about everything under the sun and it was going amazing.

"Hey Sammie, Imaa go see if I left My phone in the car Okay? " I Tell Him. he nodded his head and I went about My business. I found My phone in the cup holder and ran back inside and to My surprise he's flirting With the Damn waitress!

Like really? How many times can you screw Up? 2 times in the matter of 72 hours! Like.. I knew I shouldn't have let him talk me into going to This goddamn dinner With his fuck ass.

I stayed in the lobby-ish area watching. He hugged her waist and she whispered something into his ear which caused him to laugh. She backed away and I guess wrote down her Number and passed it to Him and then and there I lost it.

I stormed over to the both of Them and nearly knocked her ass over. I turned around and snapped at her cause I heard her breath too hard. "Say something And I'll hurt you lil girl " she walked away and I turned to Sammie.

Whenever I'm Mad My thick ass purto rican accent comes into play. "How could you do me like this again eh? I agree to go out With youu and I try My hardest to show that I actually Like youu, and it seem like youu feel the same way too, But as soon as a bitch turn her back all Hell breaks loose ! I'm done . TAKE ME HOME. Nah.. matter what. fuck it. don't do shit else for Me. " I Say then stormed outside.

I know I was wrong.. But Hell it felt so Right. I'm not finnaa be played by ANYONE. I had enough of that back home and he knows it. He ran out behind Me.

"LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!! THAT'S THE LEAST YOU CAN DO! " I yell.

Sammie's POV

SHIT! I felt horrible. My player ways have screwed me Up once again. What to Say Without getting hit ..Shit.. what to Say. damn Sammie.. you always have something to Say. She had me speechless.. this girl.. I could never get it Right With Her.. But it's just something about Her That makes Me want To.

"What Are you doing Out here? " I Ask Her just above a whisper. "Fuck OFF. I'm calling a cab so I can Get away from you." she barked. "Lalani.. chill.. Just let me take you home at least? "

"For what? " she questioned. I used to always hate seeing her Get Her heart smashed. And now I feel horrible that I'm the Nigga doing the smashing. "Yo.. Lalani I'm SO Sorry. I ain't mean To. I understand that what I just did was hella disrespectful. I'm Sorry. It'll never happen again! If you wanna leave just let me Take you home. " She smiled this devilsih looking smile Then laughed. "Youu Right! It'll never happen, Cause WE will never happen. THIS, will never happen! " She pointed at the both of us. "Come On ma---" "Youu can take me home. Go get you're shit. " she says Without even looking at Me. I turned around to go Get My keys.

Gabriel's POV My night, MY NIGHT! After Sammie totally disrespected Tony, I was wishing Tony would've spoke up for himself. But he Just brushed it off.

He's a carefree type of guy and I'm loving It. But wait till I Get home I'm beating his ass.. Anyways. Tony and me drived for About a Good 2 hours Just Talking about everything and laughing and playing around. My night was going Well.

"SO where are we going again? " I asked . "No questions. Just relax. " "Well.. I'm trying To. But Imaa let you Know This. You kill me and I will haunt the shit outa you. No lie. " He laughed hard and I laughed Right along with him But I Was soo serious.

"So, you're sister has a crush on Sammie, that's his name Right? " he asked me. "Yeah.. has for A WHILE. Ever since she met him some years ago." I Say with all honesty. "Well, they're Just now going out? "

I smirked sickly cause I was half the reason why they never did. But I wasn't gonna Tell him that. "Yes.. They just never really noticed that They were into each other. " "OH. So Sammie didn't believe Lalani was feeling Him, and Lalani didn't believe he was feeling Her. Oh okaay. " Tony yelped.

"Yeah You Right. " I went to say something Else But he cut me off. "So, do You approve their relationship or.. relations... " he asked. "Relations meaning? " I was thinking a million things. "Relations meaning Like if They were just fucking. " Tony chuckled.

"Well for One, they're not aiming For That, I'd beat the both of their asses if that was the case, but, Their relationship... I don't really know Man.. " I know I didn't.. "You don't.. admit It " he was Right. I didn't. "It's not exactly That.. it's just I don't believe That he's Right for her. He's a player that Can never Keep his beef cake in his pants. and I don't want Him hurting Her. then id have to hurt him AND be in the middle if Their bullshit Like I already Am. "

I felt My blood boiling. if it wasn't for him getting into that shit back home, Lalani would've never talked me into letting Him come along With us. it Was Just supposed to be me and her living Our dream.

I still kinda feel bad about not telling Lalani The REAL reason why Sammie is tagging along. If she knew.. she wouldn't still be going head over hills for him.. But I kept his silly ass secret for the sake of Her happiness.

Wowed

Gabriel's POV cnt..

I looked over at tony That had been staring at Me. "We're Here.. " he whispered. "Um.. Why Are we In the middle of NOWHERE? " I Ask. "Shh.. you'll Love It once you'll see where we going. " he said while hopping out the car. We grabbed our things and covers Out of the trunk and began This LONG ass walk. We walked about a half a mile it seemed. "Ugh! Are we there yet? this is a torture method for fat girls! " I say through My huffing and puffing. He laughed hard Then pointed to This cabin About 40 feet away. "That's where we're going. Gosh. If someone Ever kidnapped you they'd return You to where Ever They picked You up from. " he Said as he was still laughing. "Not funny. " I say laughing. We walked into the cabin and the inside blew My mind. It was white everything. A huge white L-Shaped couch, the floors were done With white fur, in the corner was a Big white fireplace That was going. The cabin smelled amazing. There was This aroma of Vanilla and some type of food That I couldn't wrap My mind around. I sat My things on the couch and kicked off My shoes. "Oh My God This cabin is beautiful "

I traveled to The back of The cabin and saw 3 doors. "So Tony, is This all You? or... " I waited and there was no answer. I decided to be nosy and examine the rooms.

The First door I'm guessing this Was the master bed. It was amazing. The walls Were a deep sea setting From the led lights, the bed was huge With furry white covers. The closet was a walk in closet With a few clothes in it and There was a master bed bathroom.

I slowly backed out of The room and went into the other and there was still no sight of Tony. The next bedroom was cute and cuddly , With pink EVERYTHING. Obviously this room was for his daughter.

I examined her room a little bit more. I stopped in the middle of her room in Awe, And out of nowhere I felt arms wrapping around My waist.

"Found What You were looking for yet? " Tony whispered in My ear. "Aha.. I mean.. yea.. I didn't even hear you coming. where were youu? " I studder. "I was putting everything together, Come on let's Go. " he intertwined his hand With mine and leaded the Way.

We made it to the hallway and Tony twirled around me and covered My eyes. "Keep walking. " he tells Me. He directed Me somewhere and I smelled the Food. My tummy began to rumble.

"Okaay. " Tony uncovered My eyes. I opened My eyes and it was sooo beautiful. There were lights everywhere and a miniature table with gourmet meals on It.

He grabbed My hand and took me over to the table. "Tony This is nice! " he pulled the chair from under the table and let me sit.

Tony sat and began to Eat. I stared at Him. not intentionally.. I was just in a daze. "What? " Tony asked with a mouth full of lobster meat. "You were supposed to pray... " I muster up a lie to cover up My akward stare. "Oh shit. I forgot. Sorry. " he grabbed My hands. His hands were so soft. We prayed and then I began to eat.

"So is this all you or nah? " I ask reffering to the cabin " He hesitated. "Yeah.. I Own all this unfortunately.. It was My father's. He signed it over to me in his will. He wanted me to have it. we would vacay here every winter. those moment's I will never forget. " He sunk down into the chair .

"Aw.. " I was flabbergasted. "Well yeah.. Now I just come here to get away from reality. And share this feeling of peace with special people "Tony continued. "Well.. so I'm a special person? " I studder.

"Obviously if I'm sitting here telling you all this. I don't talk and open up to people.. But with you. you're something different. Way different.. it attracts me. "

"Oh Wow .. so besides me and you're daughter.. has anyone Else got to experience this peacefulness? " I question Him. "Well Yeah. Salem, My daughter Yolanda's mother. " he laughed and continued.

"I remember she would drag Me out to this place all the time. Haa.. actually this cabin is where Yolanda was made. " I laugh cause that shit was so unexpected.

We both finished eating. My phone was vibrating like HELL! I don't know who the hell this is But they need to chill. He stared at me and My dark ass started blushing.

"Yo.. let's take a walk " He spoke up. "Okay " We started walking to God knows where. It was dark and All.. But it didn't matter cause he held my hand the whole walk.

We Stopped at this river and there was a blanket on the ground. Tony looked at me then stripped. "Woah!!!" I scream. Lord this nigga's body was amazing.. But I'm not just some hoe. Laa'Baby thinking he can fancy Me then do Me in the woods he crazy as hell.

"You coming or nah? " he shouts back at me while he ran to the river. I feel so bad.. thinking he Was that kind of Nigga. I took off My clothes and started towards the river knowing damn well this was a crazy idea!

Tony was enjoying himself a little Bit too much. I laugh to myself at that thought. He jumps out and confronts me. "Yo.. Gabriel! you gotta get IN! It's hella fun. especially at night. " he screeched. "Tony.. I don't ---- NOOOOOOO!!!!! " I screamed as he launched me into the water.

"Ugh!!! You paying for my next weave I'm not playing! " I joke. "If that's what you want "

We played water tag for a couple minuets and that's when I got wrinkly. "Gotcha! " Tony whispered as he grabbed My waist. I turned around and we were centimeters away from each others faces.

I felt his breath on My neck before he kissed that spot. He raised his head and before I got to say anything he shut me up with the most promising kiss I'd Ever gotten.

"Wow.. um.. alrighty then..." I say while racing backwards towards My clothes.

The rest of the cabin stay was hella akward.. I wasn't expecting that.. Hell.. I wasn't expecting THIS! Him fancying me and leading me on. I ain't got time for this.

"You ready to go? " Tony asked. I'm guessing he saw I packed up all My Shit. "Yeah I guess.. thanks for all of this. I really do appreciate It. " I reply. "Well you're Very welcome. This was just a gift. But Look Gabriel, I don't want things to get akward ,what I did back there was wrong and I'm Sorry . just don't act a different way towards a Nigga cause I actually like you. "
