Gabriel's POV.

   Me and Lalani made up and we've been texting. It's been a month and All ive done is Sit in this damn house! Tony will leave me in the house with no transportation. And I be dammed if I catch a bus.

"Baby! " he yelled from downstairs. "Yes? " I answered. "Come here. " "Daddy, Who You Talking to? " OMG! I'm about to meet his daughter!

My heart skipped a million beats. I raced downstairs and saw her. Omg she was so cute! " Gabriel, this is my pride and joy, baby girl this is my best friend " Tony introduced us.

"Hi! " she hugged me. Oh my god she's so sweet. "Hi little one! " I smiled and hugged her back. "Look, Gabriel go get dressed, Imaa take yall to Black Finn ." Black finn was one of the Most expensive restaurants in Atlanta.

"Omg. Awesome. Finally I get to leave the house. " I ran upstairs and slipped on a blue dress shirt and the skinny jeans to match.

Tonight was Hopefully gonna be good.

Sammie's POV

   Shit! I was That close.. nooo. I wasn't trying to fuck Lalani. I was trying to get a peek at what I was working with. Don't judge me. Anyways I was gonna take the Baee to Black Finn.

Black Finn was one of those real classy restaurants. So I know we ain't finna see nobody we know there, which means no interruptions.

"How I'm looking Baee? " Lalani came into my room eating one of the strawberries I'd gotten her earlier. "Amazing. " she did her hair in a updo or whatever you call it, and did her make-up real nice.

She blushed. I loved that I could make her blush. We got there and was seated in the back which was kinda secluded.

Lalani ordered this $100 dollar soup that had calimari inside . Ew. Anyways I had gotten some streak with this amazing ass sauce that was $150. We got endless breadsticks which was a plus.

"So. This soup is awesome. Wanna try? " she spoke up. "Yeah. Spoon me baby. " I said laughing and she joined. "Shit that is good. Want some of this steak? " she nodded and took a bite.

"Mm. " "So look here Lalani.. I gotta get something off my chest. " "wassup Baby? " she looked concerned "okay. Well I brought you here tonight to Tell you that I love you babygirl. " she did this goofy ass giggle and said she loved me too. "Shit boy you couldn't Tell me that at the movies or something? " "Nah. I wanted to do something nice. "

She finished her Last sip of Soup and halted. "You hear that? "

Lalani's POV

    I'm finishing up my delicious ass soup and all of a sudden I hear this familiar laugh. I excused myself and walked towards it. When I bent the corner I saw Tony and Gabriel with some little Girl.

"Hey Gabriel. I knew I heard you. I'm uh.. surprised to see y'all two here " Gabriel raised up and embraced me into this long akward ass hug. "I missed You Lani. "

I smiled And we totally ignored what Tony was saying to Gabriel. The thought of Tony made my stomach turn. "Anyways. I got some shit to Tell you later. Okay? " I turned to Tony "Is that ALRIGHT if I talk to Gabriel? Mr Tony. " I asked sarcastically.

"I honestly don't care. " as soon as he began Talking Sammie walked up and hugged me from behind. "What you doing Talking to my girl fuck Nigga? " he said. "Bae chill. I asked him a question. And he replied. Okaay? " Tony scoffed. "Let's go Lalani. " I said my goodbyes and left.

"What did you ask him bae? " sammie asked while getting in the car. "I was being sarcastic and asking if it was okay if I could talk to Gabriel. " he laughed "You would've Anyways even if it wasn't okay " "Right! " I laughed with him.

We got home and I stayed in his room for the night.

Gabriel's POV

     When I saw Lalani at Black Finn my heart skipped millions of beats. I needed to breath her smell and see at least a glimpse of her face. I missed that girl so much. I needed my life back.

I mean.. I enjoy being with Tony.. and I Like living in such a big house.. But I don't like being a secret. Cause that's all I am. I haven't met friends or Nothing, the only family I've met is his daughter But he introduced me as his BEST FRIEND. The fuck?

I ain't sweat it though. She's to young to even know what a couple is. Let alone the different kinds. Anyways, we left soon after Lalani and Sammie did.

I ain't gone lie.. I kinda miss Sammie Too. Even though he did fuck with my feelings.. he is still my blood. When he calls me Fagot it hits a nerve. It makes me remember my father's words "My son is not a gay. " and my mother's shade that she would throw such as "why do you talk like dat? Put you're hands down when you speak to me " and sammie's voice overcomes them all "I'M TRYING TO TEACH YOU NOT TO BE GAY. "

I sat in my room thinking about that. Then Tony walked into my room. "Okay. Did you like her? " he asked. "Yeah. She's cute and She's a sweetheart. " I smiled faintly. "Right. I love that girl more then words could explain. "

I nod and he walked over and hugged me. "What's wrong? " he whispered. "I wanna go home. " I say truthfully. "You are at home. What are you trying to say? " he scoffed. "Like... I wanna go home to Lalani and Sammie.. I miss them. " he laughed. "So you wanna go back to a place full of fakeness? "

I gazed at him. "There not fucking fake okay. They were just mad at the BOTH of us and I can understand why. But at least they treat me good there " Tears filled my eyes.

"So what you saying is, I don't treat you good here? " a tear escaped my eye. "No.. well yes.. it's like.. you say you love me.. but show me Nothing. I sit in this house every goddamn day doing Nothing. It's like I'm enslaved. I haven't met any of you're friends either. It's like you're hiding me! And I don't appreciate that. I'm tired of being a damn secret. And I wanna go HOME. " I barked back.

He sighed. "You're not a secret.. and You shouldn't feel that way. And I don't take you where I go is cause I don't want you round all that. "

"All WHAT?! " He Ran His Hand Against his face and continued. "Okay look. I don't only do modeling Alright? " I stared at him and he sighed.
