Chapter Five

Author's Note📝

I have changed the face claim for Justin.

Greg Metelus is now the face of Justin.

JUSTIN

I continuously looked out my window to make sure nobody was behind me as I drove into the nearest, empty parking lot. Unfortunately, before I could even make it to the pool hall, Brooklyn texted me told me that she had cancelled the girl's night. Something about her not feeling well. That fucked my whole night up because I was not planning on being cooped up in the house with Brooklyn tonight. I had other things in mind.

"Okay why have you been ignoring me?"

I looked over at the passengers side and chuckled, "I haven't been ignoring you." I said shaking my head.

Gabriella looked at me and smiled, "You think you're so cute." She said with an attitude. "You're not." She told me.

"You must think I'm cute because you brought it up." I smiled widely.

Gabriella shook her head, she turned around to look out the window.  "Why did you come get me?" She asked.

"I just wanted to see you. I missed you." I tell her.

She chuckled, "You have a girlfriend remember? Plus, I'm talking to someone and he's actually pretty nice." She said shrugging.

I squint, "Who?" I interrogate her.

Gabriella didn't say a word, she just turned her head and looked out the window. I tapped her on the shoulder, trying to get her attention.

"What?" She answered annoyed.

"Answer me." I said grabbing her chin.

"It's nobody, just someone I work with." Gabi said brushing me off.

"Oh so what, you like doctors now?" I ask her sarcastically.

"Yeah, maybe." She said rolling her eyes. "I like men that like me." She proudly announced.

I shake my head before speaking, "So you just dipping out on me? I ask her.

"Why do you have me in this parking lot? You about to try and kill me?" She asked jokingly.

I roll my eyes, "You really play to much." I tell her, "Stop playing all the damn time." I say as if I'm speaking to a child.

Every time I try to be serious with somebody they take me as a joke. Then when I snap, they don't know why. It's hard not being taken serious or being brushed off. But, Gabriella doesn't always make me feel like that. She just does that as her defense mechanism. She's actually a very sweet girl. When Brooklyn first introduced us she caught my attention because of her thick New York accent. Besides her body, her ambition is what also drew me closer to her. Most of the women that work on the same floor as Brooklyn are kind of similar in that way. They're strongminded and independent.
