The Game of Love

Chapter seven part two

Antonio POV

So it’s finally my turn to say what I got to say. Well for starters my name is Antonio Lincoln Dallas and I am 20 years old. I run five restaurants, all I achieved by knowing the basics of business and of course with money. See I don’t just make my money from my restaurants, I also own a company in which I started. But the company is just a cover up for what I really do. I am current at the top of my game in the drug game in which I inherited from my father. At first I wanted no part in it because it was too dangerous but once my dad trained me, I was all in. I love it: the money, the life, and plus the respect. When I first got in the game I indeed have my fair share of hoes but that changed when one of them tried to pin her unborn on me. I wasn’t haven that no more so I dropped all hoes no matter how hard it was.

But luckily when I came back to Miami I found everything I was missing. Cause on the second day back I found Ariel and saw the real reason I wanted to come back so bad. I missed her. When I got the letter from my dad that I had to leave, I didn’t know how I was going to leave her by herself. She was all I had and I left her. I knew she had no one else, but I had to go my dad needed me. But I had her back now and I wasn’t going to let her again…I needed her more than she needed me she just didn’t realize it.

Anyway I had just told Air that I had to go away for two weeks to China for a marketing deal, in which I did but in truth that would only take a week. See the reason it was going to take two weeks was because I was flying from China to Cuba to establish ties. The Cubans could offer me good product at a cheap price and I needed that deal. If everything went according to plan I would be back in two weeks and Ariel wouldn’t have any reason to doubt me or have a clue about what I do. Sure I wanted to tell her but I didn’t want to ruin our already new relationship and plus I didn’t know how she would feel about me being in the game. I mean being in the game mean I had to do so crazy shit, which involved me killing people who dared cross me or threaten to mess with my money.

But all that shit didn’t matter cause if I didn’t tell her she would find out from the streets and then I would really be in trouble.

Right now I was packing up my suit cases making sure I had everything with me. I only had one day left and off to China. As I was packing Ariel came in and sat on the bed. I told her she should go back to school but she insisted on spending my last days with me. I mean I wasn’t trying to rush her out but ever since I told her I was leaving she been crazy distant. She had completely shut me out only saying something if I asked her or if she needed something. “You all packed up,” she said just above a whisper. I could tell she didn’t want me to go but I had to if I was going to give her the future and life she deserved. “Look I know you don’t want me to go but if I don’t you want have all that you deserve,” I said putting my cases on the floor by the door. She didn’t say anything she sighed and got up to walk out. I was left there standing there not knowing what to do in order to make her feel better. As I was thinking it hit me and I rushed down the stairs to the kitchen.

Ariel POV

I was really in a funk right now. He wasn’t even gone and yet I missed him already. If I couldn’t even wait until he was gone to miss him, how in the hell was I gonna survive two damn weeks. I was sitting on the couch watching SpongeBob so you know I was not myself if I was watching Sponge freaking bob. I hated this got damn show, it made no sense. I got bored so I went up to see what Ant was doing. I found him in the bedroom packing his clothes and that was just another blow to my mood. “You all packed up,” is all I said as I sat on the bed watching his every move. He was wearing his grey Levi’s with a black V-neck shirt. He was looking sexy and yet he was about to leave me. I guess he noticed cause he was the nest one to speak, “Look I know you don’t want me to go but if I don’t you want have all that you deserve.” He said this as he put his bags at the door. I know he was trying to but his words didn’t help and I just needed to be alone so I left.
