Thug's star

Date night

Sky's POV

I didn't know where we were eating, so I was gonna dress dressy casual. I sat in the mirror curling my hair as I sung to myself. I thought about everything that's happened in just this last week. My brother's funeral, me losing my job, it was too much, I was officially the only person left in my family. My mom and dad died when I was 15 and my brother was 18, so we kept the house and struggled to pay the bills. My brother Sean died last week in a car accident, just like my parents. He had just dropped me off at Santiago's house and got ran off the road. We had the best relationship, he was my best friend and we did everything together. He looked out for me like I was his own child and I loved him and missed him so much.

I looked in the mirror to see my face stained with tears. "Shit." Luckily I didn't apply any makeup yet. After I curled my hair I washed my face and applied makeup. I left the bathroom and went towards the bags of stuff I had bought earlier. It was between the black dress, or the red v cut top with a matching pencil skirt. I thought long and hard and decided to wear the red outfit. I put on my brother's gold chain, and added a bracelet. I bent down to slip on my gold Christian Louboutin red bottoms, and put Vaseline on my legs. I stood up, and looked in the mirror. I was a little impressed on how I pulled it together in less than 2 hours. I looked at the clock that read 7:42pm. We should leave now, it may take a while to get there. Just as I put my things away and opened the door to the guest room, dev was standing there, preparing to knock.

Dev's POV

I stood there, looking at Skyler like she was America's next top model. Damn she looked good as hell. I was at a loss of words when I finally snapped back to reality. "Hellooooooo earth to Devin" she giggled, looking entertained by my reaction. "W- W- Wow." "Wow?" "Wow." I couldn't get myself to make sense because just..... wow. "Devin, are you okay boo?" "Skyler. Skyler Skyler Skyler." She just stared at me with those stunning eyes. "You look beautiful." She cracked a smile before saying, "thanks, you do too. Well, handsome of course." She nervously giggled and I found it cute, but we had to go. "Come on, we're going to be late."

"Reservation for Martin." "Sir, if I must point out, you requested to have the whole restaurant reserved." I laughed confidently before replying with, "oh yeah that's right. Get me to my table." Skyler looked at me, she looked a bit surprised. Shit I don't know why, fuck he tryna crack jokes for. He led us to the back of the restaurant to a pair of doors, he opened the doors that revealed a staircase. After walking up a flight of stairs he opened the door and led us to my favorite table, the rooftop. There was a candle lit table in the middle as well as an orchestra playing. There were rose petals on the ground and a red carpet that led to our table, we both sat down in our chairs as the waiter poured us both a glass of champagne. I had already requested what we'll have, so he left us to ourselves as the orchestra played further away.

Skyler's POV

I was in complete awe as we reached the rooftop. I've never seen a more beautiful site in my life and I was surprised at it all. Devin was mean as hell but I could tell he had a sweet side that I really liked. We sat at the table silently, as I took a sip of champagne. "This is the best champagne I've ever tasted." He smirked before saying, "Cristales en las rocas... it's my favorite." "You know Devin, we could've went to the park and I'd still be happy." "It's no problem ma, I got you." " Devin you've did way too much for me already. I feel like I'm over stepping my boundaries and we just met. I don't want you to do all of this over a new friend." "Skyler, I just wanna show you what you can have if you let me have you. I want only the best for you and myself and I plan to give you that. You're right, we just met but the way we click makes me feel as if I've known you my whole life and I wanna see where this takes us. So please, let me spoil you?" " oh Devin. Thank you so much."

We were now eating steak with grilled shrimp and broccoli soup along with a loaded potato and what ever else we requested. This shit was good as hell. We were in deep conversation when he asked, "so who do you live with? Where do you live?" I shifted in my seat a bit, thinking about Sean. "Well uhh, I live in Clanberry park, alone.." "Clanberry park? The projects?" I grew uncomfortable. "Yeah.. my family isn't that well off. Well actually, I don't really have a family." "Girl what you mean everybody has family. What y'all ain't close? You said you had a sibling earlier, where they at?" "He's dead. He died last week. We lived there together Devin but Sean is dead okay? My parents? Mommy and daddy died a long ass time ago. All I had was Sean, he was my rock. Now they're all gone and I have no one." I didn't even notice I was crying at this point, but I was. Dev had got out of his seat to take me into a hug. I hated crying, I felt so helpless. "Skyler.. I had no idea. I am so sorry. Listen if you need me I'll be here for you, I'll be your rock. Don't cry baby girl. They all love you as much as you love them and they're always watching over you. Don't cry." I sniffled as I looked up at him. His eyes were so sincere and he truly looked concerned. "Thanks a lot, sorry I ruined the night." "You ain't ruin shit ma, you wanna leave? We can if you want-" "no, no. Let's just carry on. Why did you and dani's mom split up?" This time, he was the one who looked uncomfortable. "Well Dani's mom is my sister. I'm her uncle." "Ooh, I'm sorry, did she pass?" "Naw, she had dani and her father left.. when he left she started doing crack. One night I went to check on them and she was passed out on the front porch with dani in her car seat next to her. Anybody could've taken advantage of the both of them." He looked really mad at this point, and I felt sorry. "I picked her up and immediately took her to the hospital, while she was in there, I filed for custody because I couldn't see them both struggle like that. I won the case and sent Dasia to rehab. About a month later, I went to check on her so that she could see Dani, and she was gone." I looked up, extremely confused. "What?" "She escaped the fucking rehab and no one has heard of her since. I looked all over for the past years when eventually I figured she was either just fine, or just dead. Either way, she wasn't coming back." I didn't know what to say. He looked up and our eyes met, all I seen was pain, the same pain I see in my own eyes when I look in the mirror. We were both missing something in our lives that made us feel this way and there was only one thing that could help us. Each other.

Devin's POV

We left after that. Neither of us were in the mood so we put our food in take out boxes and went home. I had taken a shower and was in the living room when she joined me and suggested that we watch a movie. We were in the middle of the movie when she laid across my chest and got comfortable. I didn't mind, considering the comfort we both needed. The movie went off and I looked down to see her fast asleep. I didn't wanna wake her, so I tried my best to get comfortable and went to sleep.
