Gangsta Lovin' || COMPLETED!

Chapter 54: Late Night Cosco Drinkin'

Michael and I were changing into our swimsuits at the hotel after a visit to China town gathering our souvenirs to take back to Louisiana, the Smithsonian Museum, and the 9/11 memorial. I had to admit I was sad because this was our last day in Washington, but I knew our good time would come to an end and we would return home where my life as a high school student would continue for another two months.

"Did you have fun?" He asks me throwing his towel over his shoulder as I slip on my crocks.

I nod my head, smiling. "The best spring break I ever had."

"Good," he wraps his arm around my shoulders pulling me to him.

I admire the ring that was on my finger as we make our way down to the pool. To some people a promise ring might not mean much or it may not mean as much as an engagement ring but I felt this was just as big as one. It made me feel good and confident about the relationship I was in with Michael, not that I wasn't before, but the promise ring was the icing on the cake. I was on top of the world right now and I prayed that I would stay that way... at least for a little while.

----

We swam, or Michael swam while I splashed around in the shallow end, for about a good hour and a half. Once I started to turn into a dried prune I knew that it was time to get out of the pool. Plus we needed to start packing and making sure we had everything for our check out tomorrow. Even though I enjoyed Washington I still missed my mom, Simone, Lina, and even my dad. I missed my little Joey too but I was sure that Janet was taking good care of her.

I was making my way into the bathroom to take a shower when Michael bumps me and yells "dibs on shower!" while closing the bathroom door.

"Childish!" I yell through chuckles while hitting the door.

A second later he opens it and leans against the door frame with a different demeanor. "You can join me," he bites down on his lip and I push his head back before laughing and walking away towards the bed. I lay out my towel before sitting down and browsing through my phone as I hear the shower cut on in the bathroom.

Michael's POV

Me and Semaj switched places and I threw on some comfortable clothes before layin' back on the bed. I was damn near sleep when my phone started buzzin' next to me. I was a lil' shocked to see Big's name pop up on my screen since it had been a lil' while since I talked to him and Lenny. Knowing that it was probably some shit goin' on I answer it.

"Wassup man?"

"Yo, Mike, I needa favor." He say flat out making me shake my head and sit up.

"I knew it was somethin'. What the fuck you do now?" I ask curious as to what the hell Bigs was in.

The nigga was known to get into some shit. Prime example when we got shot at in the club because he wanna hold out on people and they money. There was two things you ain't fuck wit people about; they money and they family.

"It ain't what I did now its what I ain't do before."

"And that was...?"

"I still ain't paid Mavis back"

Even though I heard 'em I still ask 'cuz I'm pissed and confused as fuck as to why he would fuck around with a nigga like Mavis. "You ain't what?"

"You heard me Mike, damn!"

"Don't getcho thong in a bunch 'cuz yo ass wanna play around with nigga's money." I say swingin' my legs off the bed. "Pay 'em his shit back, Bigs."

"That's the fuckin' problem man! I ain't got the fuckin' money to pay him back!"

"How deep you in his damn pockets that you can't pay his ass back?" I was pacin' the room now.
