Loved By You

Omniscient

Several minutes after Maja left Angelo's parents called him back. "Mama I said I would... oh pops what's up?" Angelo asked looking at his father. "So, does Maja know that you have money?" Eric asked getting straight to the point. "No." Angelo rubbed his chin thinking. "Dad she's not like those other women. I've made sure." Eric looked at his son with a raised eyebrow. "I'll see if that's true. Good night son." Angelo's father said before hanging up.

Angelo was running late from the library for game night when he got a call from J.J. "Game night is canceled." "And why is that?" Angelo asked as he stopped all movement. "Well, Rocky has to work. Haseem, Maja, and Omar dipped and went to that club that Jordan told us about. We might slide through later though." Angelo rubbed his chin as he shook his head. "Alright, thanks for letting me know," Angelo said before hanging up. Angelo sat there for a minute thinking.

I was standing in Jordan's v.i.p. section watching Maja dance. She was smiling and dancing with some girl I had seen with Omar a few times. "Why don't you go talk to her?" I looked seeing Omar standing not too far from me. "Nah I'm going to let her..." I stopped when I saw a guy walk up to her. She turned and looked before pushing him off. She fanned herself before walking to the bar.

I watched as the same guy she just pushed away walk towards her grabbing her arm. She went to push him again but his grip tightened. When he pointed his finger in her face I decided to walk over with Omar not too far behind me. "You good baby?" I asked as I wrapped my arm around Maja pulling her into a kiss. I looked down at her with a smirk as she stared up at me in a daze. I looked over at ole dude with a mug on my face.

"Is there a problem?" I asked. His face twisted into a deep scowl before he walked off. My attention turned back to Maja. She grabbed my arms pulling on to the dance floor. I wrapped my arms around her as the song slowed. I stared her down and I watched her squirm under my gaze. "God stop staring at me." She said with an eye roll. "So, what happened with tonight?" She looked away from me, but I turned her back to me.

"I chickened out, okay." She mumbled. I couldn't help but chuckle. "It cool. You're not ready." She looked up at me with a shy smile. I grabbed Maja's hand and walked over to the bar. "Let me get a bottle of vodka," I said as I place the money on the counter.

I chuckled as I watched a very crossfaded Maja sing. After we left the club we headed back to campus and we found ourselves on the football field sitting in the stands. We were half-way through the bottle and we had shared three blunt going on to the fourth one. I was rolling up another blunt as the song changed to Meek Mills' Dreams and nightmares.

"I USED TO PRAY FOR TIMES LIKE THIS, TO RHYME LIKE THIS.

SO I HAD TO GRIND LIKE THIS TO SHINE LIKE THIS.

IN A MATTER OF TIME I SPENT ON SOME LOCKED UP SHIT.

IN THE BACK OF THE PADDY WAGON, CUFFS LOCKED ON WRIST.
