Someone Like You

Chapter 28

Zeniyah

I wake up stretching violently and shaking my legs, I hear laughter in the room making me look up. I see Giovanni standing by the door laughing. 

"Were you watching me sleep," I ask as I get out of the bed. 

"No I am to wake you up and I walked in on you doing whatever that was," he says walking up to me "The food's here you ready to eat?" 

"Yeah let me brush my teeth first and I'll come," I say standing up. I go into the bathroom and brush before splashing water on my face, I change onto a T-shirt and some shorts to be more comfortable before heading downstairs. 

I skip into the dining room and settle in beside Giovanni placing vegetables and chicken on my plate. I begin eating my chicken wings happily while bouncing and humming in my seat. Giovanni looks at me laughing.

"Why are you always laughing at me," I ask Giovanni while chewing on a chicken wing bone

"Because you're funny," he says pinching my cheek. I slap his hand away and continue munching on my food. 

"When you're finished eating we're opening gifts," Alex says making me squeal and jump around in my seat

"Babe stop before you choke," Giovanni says rubbing my thigh. I quickly finish eating and urge everyone to finish quickly. After we clean up I push everyone into the living room. I sit on the couch bouncing up and down

"Who's first, Who's first," I ask. 

"Me, thank you for helping me with Junior, thank you for cooking for us, and thank you for making this empty house home again," Alessandro says making me hug him tightly with tears in my eyes. I kiss his cheek and he hands me a huge gift bag which I sit on the floor emptying,

Inside I find Airpods, a gold watch with diamonds, and a Jordan hoodie. I hug him again saying thank you. 

"Next is meeeeee," Alex says jumping up and pulling a huge box with her. 

"Thank you for being the sister and best friend I've wanted for so long, thank you for making my grumpy brother happy, and thank you for keeping me sane last week," Alex says hugging me. 

I open the box and find tons of Shein bags with dresses and graphic tees in them, I also find some Levis jeans, I also find a bunch of beauty supply lip glosses 

"Oh my goddd I love everything here, how did you choose these?" I ask her 

"Simple while you were asleep I went on your phone and bought your whole SHEIN cart," she says making my jaw drop. 

"No wayy, thank you so much," I say again

"My turn!" Tony yells making me raise an eyebrow. 

"You too?!?! But you already got me a phone," I say to him

"Well that doesn't count it was because I broke yours plus you cooked for me even when I hurt you, this gift is in hopes that'll stick around for my cousin," Tony says while hugging me, I pull back quickly realizing what he'd said. 

"WAIT GIOVANNI IS YOUR COUSIN?!" I ask shocked

"And Alex and Sandro, duh now open the gift," he says handing me a wrapped up box. I rip open the paper and gasp, 

"No way," I scream seeing a Black Telfar bag.

"A TELFEZZYYY," I sing making him laugh 

"It wasn't even $300 I thought girl bags were expensive," he says

"Not this one," I say hugging it and saying thank you again. 

"Shoo now it's my turn," Giovanni says.
