The Gangleader

Chapter 3

    The next morning when I woke up, I had a smile on my face because I was thinking about him-Eric.
         We talked to each other the better part of the night and he told me about his life and everything, but he was starting to tell me something else when Nicole came up to me.
         "Come on, babes. We have to go"
       I sighed and turned back to Eric. "Sorry, I have to go".
        "It's cool. Hopefully I'll see you around sometime".
        I nodded, smiling. "Yes, I would love that."
    "Girl, get up. We going to the mall", Nicole burst into my room.
     I sighed and rolled over to the floor and got up to go to the bathroom.
   *****************************************
        "Girl, he is so cute, handsome, sexy, funny and just too yummy", she gushed
       We were walking around the mall and she was talking to me about Eric's friend Andre".
       "Do you like him?"
        "I think I do. He gave me his number last night and he called me to make sure I got home safe".
       I smiled at her. "That was sweet of him".
     She nodded and looked at some clothes. I looked around a bit until I saw something that caught my eye.
       "Oh my god, Nikki"
       "Hmm"
       "He's in the store"
       "What?"
       "Eric, he's in the store"
     She looked over and saw him and Dre behind him. "Oh my god, how do I look?"
        "Fine"
     She looked up and smiled as Dre approached her. "Well, hello beautiful", he said.
They started having a conversation when I felt arms wrap around my waist. "Well, hello there".
I turned and faced a smiling Eric. "Hey" I hugged him tight. I could feel him put his face in my neck and we rocked side to side for a minute before he pulled away.
"I'm happy I got to see you again.", he said
"Me too"
We started walking in the mall with Nicole and Dre in front of us.
       "So how have you been?"
       "Good and yourself?"
       "Great", I smiled
     He smiled and we continued to walk around the mall.
*******************************************
           "So will I be seeing you again?"
      We were in the parking lot putting away our bags.
        "I don't know will you?"
    He smiled and I giggled at him. "I would love to see you again".
        He nodded. "Cool. Here's my number. Call me anytime".
       "Ok". I took it and smiled. "I can't wait to see you again."
       "Me too, baby"
