Palm Springs.

I'm Down by Aaliyah played on the in house speakers throughout the AirBnB. The house the boys had rented out was luxurious. They never settled for anything less whenever it came to a vacation. Even with a staycation, they wanted to be extravagant. Trinity's been to a few New Year's Eve parties in her lifetime but none of them could compare to this weekend. In the past she had always had a bad experience when it came to New Year's, every year turned out to be shittier than the last. But the way things were looking now, it might actually be looking up for her.

Well at least that was the plan.

"Tripping." Elias mumbled under his breath while his fingers toyed with the two chains surrounding his neck, fixing them so that they lined up perfectly as he stared at his reflection in the mirror. Running a hand over his hair, he picked up the hat next to him that had LA on it and placed it on his head completing his outfit.

He had on a Black Versace jacket with regular white shirt underneath. Black jeans with a few rips on the knees. Jordan One's going with his outfit tying it all together.

It was basic.

But he was never basic and everything he wore always looked ten times more fine on him.

The music that was playing downstairs was muffled in their room even though they could still hear the song transition into Here I Am by Rick Ross.

"Can't believe some girl texting your phone is me tripping but okay." Trinity chuckled as she put on her heels. A new pair of Jimmy Choos for her to wear. A few days after Christmas and before they came to Palm Springs, Eli took Trinity on a shopping spree in LA, renting out almost all of Rodeo Drive during after hours, spoiling her some more in which she appreciated it so her entire outfit had to be more than her check every other week.

"Because I already told you a million times I haven't spoken to that girl in so long and you still wanna bug."

"Three months ago is not long-"

"And what was I doing in those three months?" He asked with a straight face as she buckles the strap around her ankle now holding eye contact with him. "I was with you, right? Don't play in my face, Trin, for real."

She chuckled, "Okay, Elias. Well tell Amiya that you'd love to meet up with her and celebrate the new year with her like she asked."

He shook his head and sighed. "Whatever, man."

"I mean the fuck? You still got bitches numbers in your phone, why?!"

"Yo, did you not get a text from that Stephen nigga from the party? Get out my face with this shit," He waved her off and Trinity stood up now defensive as ever, her eyebrows furrowed.

"He's setting me up with a interview at his job. If you jealous over that, then you must have issues and it could've been avoided if you did what you said you were going to do," She fired back standing up from the bed and walking to the side of it where her phone was charging on the nightstand, unplugging it.

Elias didn't answer right away and just waved her off, fixing his Rolex around his wrist. Trinity let out a chuckle and shook her head.

Earlier that night, the two and their friends had a bit of fun in the pool and had a little water gun fight. Elias phone was connected to the speakers on the outside which made him tell Trinity to skip a song that popped up that didn't fit the mood since she was by it.

And so she did.

But all that resulted in was Amiya, an old fling Elias had around frequently just before him and Trinity met, text his phone asking if he had plans for the holiday today, saying she missed him, sent a half nude to him, and if he wanted to bring the year in with her as she thought Eli was in LA celebrating the New Year.
