GIA'S POV.

I spent the day today painting my room. It was kind of a spontaneous last minute thing. But I figured since I'm gonna be leaving here for a while might as well.

It's nothing special just a light gray color.

But since it was last minute I painted it pretty late.

By the time I was done it was 10.

So I'm sleeping on the couch in our upstairs living room.

Only problem is the couch is right against the wall of Manny's room, and he has some hoe over.

I'm pretty sure he doesn't know I'm sleeping out here cause if he did, this bitch would not be moaning that loud.

But she is. So all I hear right now is her moaning and his head hitting the wall.

Once she starts saying his name I'm done.

I decide to grab a blunt I have in my room and go outside to smoke it.

I slide on my flip flops and go outside.

I sit on the steps of our porch and start smoking.

As I do I see someone walk up the sidewalk and make their wake up to our house.

I can't see who it is cause it's dark as fuck despite the street light on the other side of the street.

"Hey" the familiar deep voice says. It's Anthony. I swear when I saw him at our family party I was digging him.

I like his style. 50% of the time he dresses like a cholo, but the other 50% he dresses like a pretty boy or "swag fag".

His personality seems dope too.

"Is Manny here?" He asks. "Um, yeah he's inside but, he's um, with some girl so, that's why I'm out here" I say with a small laugh.

He laughs.

"Damn, I was trying to buy bud I'm dry as fuck right now and I ain't gonna re-up until tomorrow" he says smacking his lips.

"Wanna smoke?" I ask him handing the blunt. "Yeah sure, I need something" he says taking the blunt and sitting next to me.

"You sell bud too?" He asks. "Nah, Danny and Carlos won't really let me" I tell him.

"Why not?" He asks. "Cause, they're worried I'll get into trouble or something and end up dead or in jail" I tell him.

"Makes sense, I wouldn't want my little sister or niece to either" he says.

"You sell bud right?" I ask him. He nods. "Extra cash on the side, more money the better, but I have to do it for the gang anyways" he tells me.

"What do you do?" I ask him. "Have my own tattoo shop, Sinner Tattoos" he tells me.

"That's your shop??" I ask him surprised. "Yeah why?" he says with a small laugh.

"I always go there to get my tattoos, EVERYONE in fucking California goes there, but I've never seen you?" I tell him.

"I know, I'm usually just the boss, doing the business aspect for the shop you know? But I do tattoos 90 percent of the time, I guess we just never crossed paths that 10 percent" he says with a smirk.

"I guess so boss" I tell him playfully.

"So how come I never knew you were Triggers sister?" He asks.

"I never really, had much of a relationship with my brother growing up, and 4 years ago he left as you probably already know, and I didn't here from him more than 3 times, we HATED each other until he came back, now we're trying to, fix shit and get along, mostly cause I'm gonna be taking Gloria's place in the gang" I explain to him.

"Oh alright, yeah I've heard the homies talk about that, but I just never knew it was YOU, I mean I know everybody in the gang lowkey or not, so you were like, a surprise to me" he says with a laugh.

"Yeah I know it's just that Danny and Carlos, and now Manny, they, they're protective, they know I drink and smoke but they don't like to see it unless it's at a family party, they're fucking mad strict on me" I tell him shaking my head.

He laughs.

"I get it, they gonna let you roll on your own this weekend to the car show in Malibu?" He asks.

"Yeah, how'd you know I'm going?" I ask scrunching my eyebrows.

"My homie, Psycho, he runs the whole thing, he told me, I promote Young and Reckless Clothing" he says.

I nod.

"Ohh yeah me too" I add.

"Oh shit foreal? You model often?" He asks.

At the annual show me and about 15 other girls attend and take pictures with the cars, or attending clothing brands that you collab with.

I collab with Young and Reckless Clothing like I said.

They have some dope clothes.

All I gotta do is wear it and take pictures and basically promote.

"I mean when I'm not working in my moms real estate office I do" I tell him.

"Damn, female fucking hustler huh?" He says. I laugh. "You already know" I say jokingly.

He smiles.

"That's cool though I like that" he says passing me the last of the blunt.

But even though it runs out we continue to sit there and talk.

And talk.

And talk.

Anthony really is something else.

But once it turns 2 am he has to go.

"It was cool chilling with you I'll see you around alright?" He says.

"Yeah okay forsure" I tell him.

He wraps his arms around my neck and gives me a hug goodbye.

His cologne hits me even more, it smells better on him than in the air.

"Goodnight" I tell him then start to walk to the door but he stops me.

"Aye hold up" he says so I turn around.

"Here" he says handing me his phone.

"Gimme your number, maybe we can roll together this weekend" he says but in a non flirtatious way strangely.

I grab his phone and put my number in.

"I'll text you" he says. "You better" I say jokingly.

He laughs.

"Alright girl goodnight" he says then walks away.

I smile and go inside.

I really, liked kicking it with him.
