Someone Like You

Chapter 47

Zeniyah

I wake up and everyone in the house is still asleep, I was able to convince Malik to stay over in the Russo's since he was so tired. We didn't leave the club until around 3 am, there we so many stars and promoters. Uncle Prince is flying in today for the second opening. It's only 9 am and I'm beyond tired but I got up to make Malik our traditional birthday breakfast. 

Back at home, Malik would always ask my mom for cookies for his birthday or and cookie skillet, Zeb would ask for Pancake tower and I'd ask for a McCain cake. I picked up some Pillsbury cookie dough and m&ms yesterday to make him a cookie skillet for breakfast. 

I press the dough into the skillet after oiling it and add some m&ms then put it into the oven, I set it to automatically stop and sit on the couch. My phone bings signaling to me that I got a text, it reads "I'm here Z," I gasp sitting up and calling the number.

"Hello," I say into the phone

"Where are you?" he asks

"I'm not home, I stayed somewhere else," I say standing up and heading up the stairs

"Ok, and where's Malik?" he says 

"He's with me, you want me to come get you?" I ask not really waiting for an answer I slip on my shoes and grab my phone and keys.

"Yeah I guess I want to see Malik," he says and I place a kiss on a sleeping Giovanni's cheek

"Hey what about me?" I say laughing 

"Yeah you're pretty ok too," he teases making me roll my eyes. 

I hang up hoping in the black Honda Civic driving off towards my place. I get there in about 30 minutes and hop out heading to my unit, unlocking the door I walk in and see my uncle sitting there with his foot on my coffee table as he scrolls through his phone.

"Good afternoon sir take your feet off my table," I say dropping down beside him

"Hey Z," he says pulling me into a side hug kissing the side of my head

"I can't believe you kept the key I sent you," I say looking at him 

"Of course I did, you needed space but you're still my niece," he smiles

"Did you see the pictures I sent you of last night?" I ask happily 

"Yes the club looks amazing, your brother's talented and I got tons of calls from people telling me the reopening was a huge success," he says smiling

"You remembered his birthday?" I asked him standing up and stretching 

"Well duh," he says rolling his eyes

"Oh, hush he forgot it until I reminded him," I say laughing. We stand up heading out after he grabs a bag which I'm pretty sure contains Malik's gift and we head out to my car, 

We pull up to the Russo's place and I open the gate and park the car. We walk up the stairs into the house, I take Prince into the dining room where everyone is seated with the cookie skillet on the table but not eating. 

"Awww you guys are waiting for me," I say smiling

"Girl check your phone we've all been blowing you up," Alex says, I slowly look at Giovanni who looks livid

"How many times do I have to tell you to stop leaving without telling me, I don't want to wake up and find you not beside me again," he says looking down at me, 

"And you the fuck are you?" Prince says stepping in front of my pushing me back

"You're in my house who are you?" Giovanni asks stepping forward
