Underdog

Chapter 2

"G, wake up! Time to go." I opened my eyes, I was in bed and I saw Ali grabbing my suitcase.

"Mmm." I groaned and sat up.

"Time to head out sleeping beauty."

"I don't even remember falling asleep." I said, getting out of bed.

"You fell asleep on the couch when we were talking. I put you in bed but now we gotta go." He informed.

I slid on my Nike slides and we walked down to the parking garage. He put my things in my rental and came over to the driver side window.

"I'll follow you to the airport. Drive safe, G." He jogged over to his rental.

We goofed around the airport until we boarded the plane. I found my seat and shoved my carry on in the overhead shelf and took my seat. Ali's seat happened to be in the middle isle on the end closest to my seat. We were still joking around when Randy walked through the isle. He spotted me and smiled.

"Good morning, Gia."

I smiled back.

"Hey, why aren't you on the company's private plane?" I asked, mentally rolling my eyes. Randy was almost always traveling on the company's plane, while the lesser of the superstars, aka me, had to fly commercial airlines.

"Just didn't feel like it I guess." This time Ali rolled his eyes.

"Oh, well ok." He nodded and walked to the seat behind mine.

I looked over to Ali and he had this sarcastic annoyed face on, if that makes sense, causing me to laugh. I got comfortable in my seat and tried to fall asleep before we took off.

I felt a tap on my shoulder causing me to wake up.

"Hm?" I groaned.

"Wake up, we're about to land." Randy informed.

I sat up and stretched, then buckled my seatbelt as we were about to descend.

Once we landed and got off of the plane. We went through the airport and I caught up with Ali, we were carpooling to the hotel.

"Wanna go get some food?" Ali asked, putting our bags in the trunk of his rental.

"Fast food? I wanna eat in the comfort of the hotel bed." He laughed at me.

"Okay." I climbed into the passenger seat of the car, shut my door and buckled my seatbelt.

I sat in the car and it took a while for him to get in the car. As soon as I turned in my seat to see where he was, the door opened and he hopped inside with a smirk.

"What took you so long? And why the smirk?" I asked.

His smirk turned into a smile, "Oh nothing."

I raised an eyebrow.

"Let's go get this food and chill. Movie too?"

"Eh, why not." I shrugged.

He started the car and drove to a Chick-fil-a.  We got our food, drove to the hotel and checked in. He dropped his things off in his room and we went to my room. I put on A Madea Funeral and sat on the couch.

Ali's POV 

A little after halfway into the movie Gianna fell asleep. Like always. I got up from the couch, grabbed a blanket and drapped it over her. I cleaned up our trash and gathered my things. I kissed her forehead before exiting her room.

"Hey man, is Gia in there?" Randy asked as he walked up to me.

Man this guy doesn't know how to take no for an answer.

"Yeah, but she's asleep." I stood planted in front of the door.

"Oh okay, thanks man." He walked off.

I don't understand what she saw in him. Or why she's even allowing him back into her life after what he did to her. She deserves so much better, she deserve to be happy and to be loved.

I sighed and walked to my hotel room.
