-Aristos.

When I woke up on the couch a couple hours later, Ruby was sitting down at the edge of the couch.

He leaned back, watching one of those animes I've seen him watch a thousand times. I have no clue how the fuck he still finds them interesting.

“You just sneak into girls' houses?” I asked him rubbing my eyes as I sat up. “Nah, just the ones I like” he told me.

I nodded, “what time is it..?” I asked him “like.. seven forty five” he told me “how long have you been here..? And like, why are you just breaking into my house?” I asked

“Only a lil while” he told me, i nodded getting up off the couch and he followed behind me. I walked away upstairs to my bedroom, walking into my bathroom.

Ruby followed me, sitting down on my bed as I got undressed and got in the shower.

“Angel?” He called my name out softly, “Yes baby?” I replied.

“I love you” he told me, I smiled. Feeling the warmth of his words flow through my body. “I love you too Ari” I said softly.

Aristos was quiet for the whole time I was in the shower, he didn't say anything. Or fuck he didn't even make a noise.

I turned the shower off,pulling the curtain back and stepping out reaching for my towel. Wrapping it around my body and tying my hair up.

When I walked out the bathroom, Ari was laid up in my bed. I chuckled softly, looking at him curled up to my pillows making me smile.

“You tired papi?” I asked him softly, “kind of..” he mumbled. “Are you guys doing tour papi?” I asked him and he nodded.

“You coming?” he asked me, “that's up to you and Scott” I said walking over to my dresser, I could feel Ari's eyes burning in my back.

I shook my head, dropping my towel and going to slide my panties on “Ma..” he said softly, his hands on my waist.

When the fuck did he get up. I thought to myself, chuckling.

“Ari, c'mon I have to get dressed” I told him and he nodded, laying his head on the crook of my neck and holding me close to him.

After a few seconds he let me go, watching as I got dressed. “Where are you going mami?” He asked me and I shrugged “I have to go do boring adult things, you wanna ride?” I asked him

“Aren't I supposed to ask you that?” He said, making me hit him in his arm, “Aristos! I'm being serious” I said, “what? So am I” he said, chuckling.

“I'm gonna hurt you” I said softly, walking over to my closet and sliding my sneakers on.

He smiled, “yes I'll go with you” he told me and I smiled “okay, thank you for being mature” I said. “Yeah it's not gonna last long” he said and I side eyed him.

“Whatever” I said softly, grabbing my purse and my phone. Ari followed behind, I bent down and picked blue up, sitting him in the backseat of my car and sliding his collar on.

“Can I drive?” He asked, “oh fuck no, you might not drive as bad as Scott but your definitely not driving my baby” I said softly and he pouted.

“Ari, no” I told him and he sighed getting in the passenger's seat, I sat in the driver's seat starting up the car and pulling out the driveway.

Ari was quiet most of the time, besides his snarky remarks about something he didn't like about how I drove. Asshole.

Soon, we pulled in the driveway of a house with a for sale sign on it. I clicked blues leash onto his collar, turning the car off and walking up to the front door of the house.

Ari followed behind me, I handed him blues leash and he held it as I looked through my purse for a set of keys, unlocking the front door to the house.

Ari's eyes widened, “this yours?” He asked me, “Yeah, I kinda bought it on a high one night so I don't have anything to do with it. Might rent it out” I said and he nodded, walking inside behind me.

“Shit, I don't even need it.. you want it?” I asked him, his eyes widen “Angel, did you just offer me a fucking house?” He asked me.

“Yes? It's just a house” I said softly, “plus I mean-” I said getting cut off by Ruby's lips on mine, I smiled and kissed him back.

“So I guess that's a yes” I said softly when I pulled away, “Angel, I have my own house..’’ he said “yeah I know, but I'm gifting you one” I said

“It's not a gift if I know about it” he said, “shut the fuck up and accept it Aristos” I said and he chuckled.

“Okay mama” he said and I smiled softly, placing the keys in his hand. “If you don't know what to do with it, what am I supposed to do with it” he asked

“Aristos, it's a house, live in it?”i said and he chuckled, “Okay Angel”he told me and I smiled.

Me and Aristos walked out the house and to my car, opening the door for blue to hop up in.

“I'm gonna call Scott” he told me and I chuckled, “of course you are”I said.

Ari called Scott, putting him on speaker phone.

“Yoo, what's up lil cuz?” Scott said softly, “Hey bro, you never gone guess what just happened” he told Scott.

“What? You get your dick sucked by a Canadian hooker or sum?” Scott said making me chuckle.

“I wish, but naw. Angel just like, gave me a house?” He said softly.

“Oh shitt, no way. That's crazy cuz” Scott said.

“Am I on speaker?” Scott asked.

“Yeah, why?” Ari asked.

“Take me off speaker Right quick Ari” Scott said and Aristos took him off speaker putting the phone up to his ear.

I turned the car on, “Can you take me to Scott's?” Ari asked after he hung up.

“Of course Ari” I said, putting the car in drive and pulling out the driveway towards Scott's house.

Once we got there, Ruby kissed my cheek. “What's going on?” I asked him, “nothin” he said blanky and reached for the door handle.

I hit the locks, “Angel” he said softly. “Aristos.” I said.

“What?” He asked, “you tell me.” I said, “don't worry about it mama, okay? I'll talk to him about the tour and stuff” he said laying his forehead on mine and kissing my lips.

I unlocked the doors, watching as he got out the car and walked up to the porch. Scott waved at me, “aww look at yall” he said as he walked away inside with Ruby.

I pulled out the driveway, heading back home.

tour with the boys. Fun. I thought to myself, but Lord would I be wrong
