The Hate and Love Game

Game #8

CHRESANTO POV

Three Months Later.

Well, next week is Christmas and I want to get Ella something real special. We're having a little Christmas party and I plan on giving her my present there. We still aren't in a relationship but I also plan on making it official between us at the party too. It's been a while since we even talked about that shit and it was already hard enough accepting the fact that she just wanted to take things slow. And it's been three months now so we both took it slow enough. But anyway. Right now our little crew is at the mall to by gifts for everyone and maybe even some Christmas decorations for the party. The guys have truly accepted Gabriella and I being together so that's good. They see her as their sister and that's fine with me. "The girls will go together and the guys will together. Okay?" I asked making sure everyone understood. Monse and Davanna tagged along with Ella and Prince and Ray tagged along with me but we all rode here together. "Cool." They all said going in different directions. My plan was to buy Ella something she could definitely hold on too but I also wanted to get my mom something since they're both the two most important women in my life right now. "Jewelry? " I asked Prince and Ray looking down at my phone. I needed ideas! "Women like that. So yes to answer your question." Ray said looking at me. Prince on the other hand was too into his phone to even look up. But it's okay because he's probably texting his girlfriend. "Okay well I'm gonna go find a store now. I'll see y'all niggas in a minute." I stated walking away. I walked around the mall looking for any jewelry store they had. There were stores at every at every corner but most were for wedding rings and whatnot. And I wasn't planning on getting married anytime soon. But then I came across a little store called Kay. I peeked inside a little and looked around. There were nice things that stood out to me but we're so out of my budget. I only wanted to spend between 400 to 700 dollars on Ella and my mom. "Can I help you?" A woman asked at the counter. She was actually a teenager and she was looking at me like she wanted something. She was pretty cute but nowhere near Gabriella! "Uh, yeah actually. I just need a minute." I told her before looking through the glass windows that's surrounded me. I saw a butterfly necklace and it was perfect for my mom. She loves butterflies a lot. Not only that, but I also saw a charm bracelet. It was okay to say that you can definitely add more charms to it. So of course, I thought it'd be perfect for Ella. I could always give her charms until the bracelet is actually filled up. I told the cashier that I wanted those two items on the spot and she did give them to me. "That'll be 350 for the including tax for the bracelet. But you can get it for 275." She said leaning over the counter and smiling at me seductively. I have to admit, it was a turn on. And it was also okay to even say this because technically I still single in a way. I guess I just wanted to have sex really. Me and Gabriella only did it one times and that was three months ago! I wanted her. "Okay." I said pulling out my wallet. I had the money in cash. "Whose it for?" She asked. I smiled to myself looking up at her. Glad she finally asked. "My girlfriend." I stated. Her smiled quickly faded and she cleared her throat. "Oh that's nice." I know that Gabriella wasn't really my girlfriend yet but was I suppose to say? The girl I sleep with, have sex with, kiss, hug, and touch? Naw I'll just stick with girlfriend. "Yep. And the necklace?" I asked handing her the money and pulling more out for the necklace. "That will be 500." She said. "No discount?" I asked hoping she'd treat it the same way she did the bracelet. She smirked. "I'll give it to you for free." I smiled. "Really?" "No. 500 please." I rolled my eyes and handed her the money. That was really messed up. But it's whatever. After I that though, I went around and bought a few more stuff for everyone else. It was Christmas so I was feeling a little giving today. Plus, I was real happy. But eventually I did get tired of walking around so I texted everyone: Be at my car in five or I'm leaving y'all niggas. Except for you Gabriella. I won't leave you. After sending that out in a group message I headed back to my car. And on the way there I did happen to see Prodigy and Bre'l with each other. I was kind of hoping they'd split when I cut her ass off but I guess not. Oh well though. I got in the car and laid my head back turning the music on which did lead me to sleep. They better hurry it the hell up.
