His Lucky Shot

Gratitude

°Ivy 🌿

I'm not dumb, I know Dante cleared out my entire shein cart which is fucking crazy if you ask me, he totally didn't have to do that much.

Which is why I decided to buy him something in return, which will cost a bit, Camilla will definitely throw a fit.

Afterschool I snuck away from everyone and went straight to his mall.

First stop? Swarovski.

I got him a $1000 bracelet with his initials engraved in it.

And then I got him a Rolex watch, I'm his sugar momma. My little simp bitch.

I still have a lot in my card cause I'm responsible like that. I got some sushi and some Chinese takeout before going back home, Chase atlantic on the highest.

I was back in my room at 18:00. I call that being something I can't find the words to yet but it's something.

I forgot how pretty my room is, like damn, I haven't been here in weeks. This is Dante and I's new room now.

I finally open my phone to fine 4 messages, 2 From Dante and two from Camilla, 10 minutes ago. I'm fucked.

I read her messages first.

Long story short:

'What were you buying at Rolex and Swarovski?'

'useless child'

'Good for nothing'

'Mistake'

'It should've been you and not Sage'

'Oh how I wish keeping you was never an option.'

Crazy shit, I know all because of Rolex and Swarovski. Sad life stories.

I didn't reply and I just screenshotted the messages and send them to my dad.

I responded to Dante in the meantime, telling where I am.

I changed into shorts and a shirt, THAT TOOK ME 5 MINUTES.

5 FUCKING MINUTES, and I already had a brand new paragraph from Camilla Rhodes.

Oh... Damn.

Long story short once again:

'So now you're trying to break your dad and I apart?'

'You're truly a curse'

'Do whatever you want, idc anymore cause you can break your own family apart now.'

'Killing Sage was way more than enough but you just had to stoop lower.'

I didn't kill her, how many times should I say it?

I just switched my phone off and lay in my bed, her words unfortunately replaying in my head.

I silently cried, all because of her, again, it's the new circle of life at this point.

After a few minutes, my bedroom door opened and shut softly, I didn't even have the energy to turn and look at him.

"Ivy, baby?"

A sob broke out of me, at the gentleness in his voice.

In  a matter of seconds he was on my bed, pulling me into his arms, gently wiping my tears away.

"Baby, what's wrong?" He asks in concerning and I shake my head as the tears continue streaming down my face, he nods in in understanding and holds me in his arms, slowly calming me down.

He gently runs his hand down my back, muttering sweet nothings to me.

I did eventually calm down, somewhere in between the times when I fell asleep and woke up.

Dante was still awake though, his hand massaging my scalp while the other one holds me.

"How long have I been sleeping?" I ask softly, looking up at him.

"15 minutes." He answers softly, his gaze filled with concern and an underlying anger.

I nod, sitting up. That shit felt like 10 hours, how I love sleeping in his arms.

He turns me around do I'm straddling him, his expression serious, his hands resting perfectly on my hips.

"What happened?" He asks softly, he's not forcing it and I want to tell him.

"Oh, ok so basically afterschool I went to buy you some stuff-Ohh, on that note." I divert to the gifts I got him.

I move to get to stand up but he tightens his hold, pulling me back down.

"Finish the story first and then explain why you even thought of buying me something." He bosses and I roll my eyes.

"Fine, so basically, Camilla saw the transactions and then she sent these long ass messages saying I was a  useless mistake who is only good at spending money on useless shit and since I didn't have the energy to reply I showed my dad the messages so he could talk to her and she came back 5 minutes later calling me a home wrecker and saying that I'm the curse of the family and I should've died instead of Sage." I explain.

His jaw clenches, and his eyes stray behind me. Oh well.

"It didn't really get to my head until she mentioned Sage." I add.

"Don't let any of that fucking shit get into your head Cara Mia, I'm sorry for saying this but your mother is a bitch and she's trying to validate her horrible parenting by blaming you and making you feel bad which is shitty, so don't let any of it get to your head baby."

I nod.

"I'm serious, Ivy."

"I know, I promise." I answer quietly, I really want to sleep.

He nods and kisses my forehead softly before standing up and dissappearing into my closet.

When he comes back out, he's wearing a different hoodie, one that I 'borrowed' from him sometime ago and the one he was just wearing in his hand.

He comes to me and gently throws the hoodie over my head, I put the rest on myself.

It smells like him, and dare I say his scent is to die for.

I-HIS GIFTS!

"Dante." I call out quietly, my voice barely above a whisper.

"Hmm, yes baby?"

"Go to my jewelry drawer, I left you somethings in there." I boss and he rolls his eyes.

"Go."

He sighs and walks over to my closet.

He comes out with the two boxes in hand and a confused expression.

"Why'd you get me these?"

"Because..." I smile.

He moves back on the bed, pulling me closer to him.

"Hmm, because?"

"I wanted to sugar momma you for once, you always buy me things." I explain and he chuckles.

"Thank you baby, thank you so fucking much but don't spend your money on me again, ok?"

"We both know I don't agree." I retaliate and he smiles. He let's me put them on his wrists properly, damn I got taste.

"Get under the blankets princess, it's cold." He says.

"So?" I reply.

"You look like you're two seconds away from passing out so get under the covers baby."

I roll my eyes in defiance and he rolls his in amusement and slight annoyance.

Next thing, he's standing up with me in his arms, nights as well fall asleep like this.

He opens the blankets with one of his hands, effortlessly carrying me with the other one before climbing inside the bed and laying with me laying on top of him.

Oh how I love naps.
