The Sideline Story (Urban) Book 1

Eight

Sincere

After the five hour flight to Florida, the four of us made it there around 7 A.M., two hours before the cruise ship would even be here and I wanted to go shopping on the few stores around the beach before we left. I needed more bathing suits and other things that I knew I wouldn't be able to get on the ship.

"Vinny can you go to those stores with me?" I asked pulling on his arm but he shrugged me off.

"Nah I ain't going up in there. Take Jay with you," He said loud enough so I couldn't make any excuses up.

I pinched his arm. "I'm gonna fuck you up as soon as we get on the boat."

He only laughed at my sly comment as I turned to Jay smiling. She held her hands out in front of Antoine and he just looked at her like she was crazy.

"The hell you want?" He asked, folding his arms as. He kept his eyes away from hers the entire time. He continued looking out on to the crowded beach with people who were waiting to get on the ship, just like us.

She smacked her lips. "I need some money."

"I spent it all on the trip," Antoine calmly replied.

I turned around and tried not to laugh but I heard Effrin bust out laughing behind me. Effrin's chuckles only made me laugh harder and I'm sure mine did the same to him.

"Man whatever," Jay said, pulling her wallet out of her Gucci purse. She looked through it and smiled before turning to me. "You ready?" She asked me.

I nodded my head. "Yeah."

Jay and I walked away from Effrin and Antoine so we could go to the stores. The entire walk up the beach was terrible for me since I was holding in my laughter. I honestly wanted to laugh in her face for letting Antoine embarrass her like that in front of us. Effrin knows what's up. He'd never try to put me in my place out in public and I'd never do that to him. I know we're definitely not the perfect couple but we aren't like Antoine and Jay.

We walked into the stores and I smiled when my eyes spotted the cutest bathing suit on the back wall. I immediately walked away from Jay and picked up the last one of these bathing suits they had. Man, I didn't care if it didn't fit, I NEEDED it. I looked at the tag and smiled when I saw that it was my size.

I'm too lucky today.

Jay and I swarmed through the store picking up any and everything we needed for the vacation. This stuff was amazing, it was like I was in a completely different world even though none of this stuff was anything compared to the designer labels I wear. It was still cute enough to wear on vacation.

"Do you think Ant would like this?" Jay asked holding up a pair of swim trunks.

I shrugged my shoulders. "I don't know," I mumbled, not really wanting to talk to her.

Call me a bitch but I hold grudges and how she was acting a couple months ago at dinner still had me feeling some type of way. She's rude and disrespectful and I really don't have time for somebody whose personality is constantly flip flopping.

She sighed and mumbled something before turning to put them back on the racks. "If you have something to say then you can come out and say it," I said walking away from the line at the register and following her to the back of the store, where it looked like she was about to have a hissy-fit. I don't know what's with her and this mumbling but she can speak up if she has something to say to me. I'm not Antoine. I'm not going to put up with her bullshit.

"I don't have anything to say to you Sincere," She replied looking at a shirt, trying to calm her anger that I knew I was affecting.

"No, you mumbled some smart crap, I heard you say something now tell me."
