The Hate and Love Game

Game #17

July 15th. Gabriella's Birthday.

CHRESANTO POV

Tomorrow is Gabriella's birthday and I don't know what to get her. She already has a charm bracelet I got her last year. Maybe I could get her another charm that represents our love for each other. And something else of course. Oh and to catch up on things that happened in the past three weeks ever since Gabriella had that accident, she fully recovered thankfully. No sex yet. I want to catch her off guard. You know. Birhtday Sex. Oh and I haven't even attempted to find out who the hell broke into Gabriella's that day everything went down but I will soon! She always tells me not to worry about it but I have too! "Ayoo Prince." I called out. He was hanging out with me while Ella was sleeping. "What did you get Ruby for her birthday?" I asked. He sat next to me and patted me on the back. "I see your stuck on the perfect present to get Bella (Prince nickname for Gabriella. They all have different nicknames for her but in some way they all connect to her name) for her 16th Birthday" Prince said. "Yeah. Any ideas?" I asked. "I wanna help you but this has to be all up to you if you want to get her a present she'll always remember. All I can tell you is to think about her culture and things she likes to do." With that being said. He continued playing on his iPhone. This guy. I thought about what he saying though and thought that he was right. If Ella ever asked how I came up with a idea I might say something like, oh Prince told me to get this for you. I couldn't think of anything so I made him do the hard stuff and take all the credit for it. No! I guess I have to think of something on my own in one day! I  ran upstairs to my room and quietly entered without waking Gabriella up. I tiptoed to my dresser and grabbed my lap top. I ran back downstairs to the dining room table and opened it up. I logged on got on google and searched, Stuff to get your girlfriend for her birthday. A good amount of stuff came up so I clicked on one that someone else asked on yahoo. I read the answers and most of them were telling that person to get her jewelry. I didnt know if I should just get Ella more jewelry or not. I mean, she already has enough as it is. She doesnt even wear half of it. I sighed and put my head in my hands. I was frustrated. I guess it was because, I never really got a girl a present before. It's hard to believe but, Ella is the first girl I ever really cared about this much. Other than my mom, she  is one of the people that matter the most in my life. I'd do anything for her. But anyway. I sat up and continued looking through the results on google. Most of them said the same thing just in different ways. Get her some jewerly, girls love jewerly, the best thing to get your girlfriend is jewelry, get her earrings or something. All that is what was showing up. There was this one guy that said, Get it in with her! I laughed at that. I already had that planned anyway. I saw one more and it said, Give her a well written love card or something. I had to keep that one in mind. I didnt know what else to do. The interent couldnt even help me! I closed the laptop and walked into the living room where Princeton was. I laid down on the couch and closed my eyes to think. I heard him laugh at me. I would've laughed too! A nigga shouldn't be this messed up in the head over one present to get someone! Then I fell asleep.

GABRIELLA POV

I woke up and went downstairs to get a snack. I walked in the kitchen and noticed Chres and Jacob in the living room. But Chres was knocked out on the couch and Jacob was laughing while texting stuff on his phone. When he noticed me he ran in the kitchen and sat on the counter top. "Hey sis." he said. "Hey Jacob." I responded while stuffing some cookies down my throat. "You know, you can just call me Prince or Princeton right? Everyone calls me that." "I like Jacob better." I said making a weird face. He laughed. "You excited about your birthday tomorrow?'' he asked. "Uh, sure I guess. I mean, to every other girl they think its the best birthday their ever gonna have because their turning 16. But to me its just another birthday." With that being said, he made a face that looked like he was thinking for a minute. " You got Roc all messed up. He doesnt know what to get you. He said it has to be perfect. That's why he knocked out on the couch over there.'' I looked at Chres and he just looked exhausted. But then a smile grew on my face when I thought about how I made him a little fustrated when he couldnt figure out what to get me. "He doesn't have to get me anything. Him jsut  being mine is all I need." I said to Jacob. He smiled then his phone went off. It was Ruby of course. "I'll be back. Gotta take this." I laughed as he walked into the hallway. I walked into the living room and sat by Chres and looked at him. He is so cute when he is sleeping. I started playing with his curls and I guess it woke him up. "Baby." he said sounding all tired. "Oh, I didnt mean to wake you up baby." I whispered to him "It's okay. I was waiting for you to wake up anyway. I missed you." He smiled and sat up on the couch to sit beside me. I smiled into return as he leeaned into kiss me. He pulled me on top of him and he started kissing my neck and cheek. I just held on to him and closed my eyes tightly while embracing the feeling. It just tickled but I liked it. Then Jake walked in. "Oops my bad. I'll just call Ruby again. Cool if she spend the night with me here?" He asked Chresanto. "Uh yeah I guess." Chres said kissing my lips. I saw Jacob laugh and walk upstairs. "What do you want for your birthday, baby?" He asked while pulling away. I half smiled thinking back to the conversation Jacob and I just shared. "You know he told me what you were doing while I was sleeping? And honestly, you don't have to get me anything, Chres. I don't need anything either." I said to him. He smacked his teeth while looking down the hallway Jacob just walked through. "Fuck nigga." He mumbled under his breath. "But back to you. Uh, why don't you want anything? You're turning 16, Ella. That's the age you want to remember forever. And the age everyone wants to stay. Talk to me." I sighed. "I'm just not used to getting stuff like that. I mean, I got presents before. But they were just a few shirts and if I got lucky, a cake. I guess I don't need anything this year either." He raised an eyebrow up at me. "The past 15 years you've been in your parents hands. Now you're in mine and I want to get you something, Gabriella. I want to get you something special and throw a big party for you even. You deserve it all either way." I half smiled. "Can I say no?" He chuckled and then shook his head. "No you can't say no. I don't even know why I'm asking you this shit anyway. We're doing it big for you tomorrow whether you like it or not. If you want me to keep things simple and sweet though, just tell me." I nodded my head. "That would be nice." I said smiling at him. "Fine. Simple and sweet it is." He smiled big and placed his hands on my stomach to tickle me. I loved this boy.
