The Gangleader

Chapter twenty-three

Jackson opened the limo escorting me inside. 

Once he let himself in he just kept staring at me, "Stop." I whine, covering my face blushing.

"But you just look so beautiful tonight." He whispers.

"So I don't ever look good?" I joke.

"N-no! You always look beautiful, You just look really pretty tonight to, and every other night, day and morning." He rambled on and on, I just laughed in amusement.

"Baby I'm just playing." I laugh, grabbing his hand.

"So where are we going? I got all dressed up and it better not be a waste." I joke, crossing my arms.

"It's a surprise." He smiles, grabbing my thigh.

"You know you didn't have to do all this." I sigh, "I don't want to make you think you have to do these things for me." 

"Yes but I want to and I love making you happy." He smiles.

"Just being in your presence makes me happy." I say, giving him a kiss. "Um I want to show you something." I hesitate.

"Ok." he says, scooting back a bit.

"Um so I was debating with myself a lot over this.. and I want to know what you think." I whisper nervously.

I rolled my laced sleeve up revealing my tattoo of his initials.

Jackson's POV

"Um I want to show you something." Maya hesitates.

"Ok." I say, scooting back a bit giving her room.

"Um so I was debating with myself a lot over this.. and I want to know what you think." she whispers with a hint of nervousness.

Maya rolled her laced sleeve up revealing a small tattoo on her wrist printed with my initials.

I kind of just sat there in shock, and a little bit of surprise. I didn't think she'd actually do that, I loved it but at the same time I didn't want her to be pressured and letting her think i'd want her to do that.

"I love it." Was all I could manage saying, and it was the truth I did.

"You do?" She trailed off.

"Of course, anything you do I will love, but I don't want you to think your pressured into doing anything." I say, caressing her cheek.

"I know.. but I wanted to get it done, and now I have a tattoo you can't leave me." She jokes, laughing.

God her laugh is perfect, she still gives me butterflies just like she did when I first laid my eyes on her. She didn't have to worry about me leaving her, there was no way I ever would.

"Trust me I'm not going anywhere." I smile, pecking her soft lips.

"So are you going to tell me now." She whines.

"Nope." I smirk, knowing it's going to drive her crazy.

The limo went to a halt, I flipped the little cover giving the driver a tip. I opened my door stepping out, I then run around the other side opening Maya's door. She grabbed the ends of her dress, I then grabbed her hand helping her out.

God she was so perfect.

"What?" She says innocently, I snap out of my gaze and just smile.

"Nothing." I reply, I grab her hand leading her towards the destination.

Maya's POV

Jackson lead me to where ever he was taking me, we arrived in the city. The tall fancy building stood tall in front of us, it was beautiful. It looked like a 5-star restaurant, many limos were arriving with people pouring out of them in fancy dresses and suits.
