Chapter 7: Deal

Chapter Seven

Syn

Really? This dude couldn't leave my life alone now that he knows my brother. This was going to be so funny because he really thought that he was going to get with me? I think not. As I stood by the island I couldn't help but to give him this intimidating look. Somehow he still smiled through it all. He was really starting to scare me.

"Nice to meet you," he said and I raised my brow. So we were gonna act like we didn't know each other? Fine by me. The more we acted like strangers the more I wouldn't care about shit he's doing.

"Same." I grabbed my plate and my tablet so that I could study while eating. I should've blamed Whitney's ass since she dragged me to the movies. Now this statistics class is going to kick my ass.

I sat back and sighed while looking at the problems and my mind just drifted to the point where I was already catching up on a few books that was stuck in my Kindle library for a few months.

The door suddenly opened and it was this dude. He came out, plate in hand and sat across from me and smiled. I looked at him with my brow raised. He was annoying as shit and was starting to hit my nerves.

"This wasn't my form of a breakfast date but it could work," he joked.

I rolled my eyes and sighed; sitting back on my chair. "Do you ever leave me alone? No, how about this. How the hell you know my brother? He paid you to come and fuck with me?" I questioned and he burst out laughing before taking a bite of his sausage.

"You want something to drink?" he asked.

I groaned loudly. "I swear you don't fucking get it. Is there something you need from me? You want your flowers back? 'Cause they're in the trash." I said.

He shook his head. "I'm going to tell you why I'm not giving up. Out of all the girls that I have approached out of my whole life, you were the only one who even bothered to reject me, and it made me try harder. I ain't a messed up dude. Yea, I've been to jail but there is a reason for it. You just have to let me explain.

I sighed. "Okay explain yourself. Why were you in jail?" I sat back and crossed my legs with my tablet on my lap.

He stared at me with a blank expression and slowly shook his head. Then he took a deep breath. "I'll explain it to you now. People who never liked me and never fucked with me. I ain't ever did anything wrong except for handle my business to make money. But due to someone who had connections to Miami PD, it landed me a five year bid with no way of getting out. A stupid ass gun charge is what got me pinned, and I could've faced fifteen years but it was my first offense. So then I got a lawyer. I didn't ask for this life but I was brought into it. Santana did the same thing to have y'all in this big ass, you know that right?"

I still wasn't impressed. "So you do business with my brother?"

He nodded his and I rolled my eyes. What made talking to an ex-con worse was talking to a damn drug dealer. He had a one way ticket back to jail if he was me with anything his possession. I knew for sure that he's fucked plenty of females the area; some that I knew had to be married or even dead by now.

"Long-time friends," he said. "If I knew he had a sister earlier on I wouldn't be the type of person that I am now."

I burst out laughing; dragging my laugh then stopped. He wasn't going to get me back then. "Why you keep on coming for me though? You ain't got no girlfriend who was holding it down for you while you was in jail?"

He chuckled and sat back in his chair to kick his feet up on the small coffee table. "No I never did. Now I'll ask you this again and I'm not going to be beat around the bush with it. I'll take you out on one genuine date and I bet I could change your mind. Why? I really like you. You know about love at first site?"

I nodded and took a sip of my orange juice.

"I never believed in it until now."

I choked a little and looked at him. Was he really serious? I just sat there and thought about everything. Him being my brother's friend, a drug dealer and an ex-con. What else was he going to add to this resume? Then I thought about actually being in a relationship. Not saying that I was going to be in one with him but just the feeling of being in one. I learned from Santana's and Tokyo's relationship that love wasn't perfect and neither were the partners. It took work to be where it is.

"Fine," I said giving up.

His eyes widened. "What?"

I raised my brow and giggled. "One date, that's all."

He gave a sigh of relief. "Damn, I thought you were going to reject me again. I was going to have to give up after that."

My mouth fell open. If I knew I had to hold out a little longer then was going to be out of my hair.

"But we can't tell your brother."

I smiled, knowing that once he told me that he was friends with my brother. But I couldn't take the risk of dealing with my brother's mouth.

I grabbed my plate and scooted pass him. "You got three days to fix this date and impress me," I said and walked into the house, smiling from ear to ear. I bit my bottom lip when purposely bumping into Santana.

He then looked out of the window at Zeno. "Stay away from him Syn. You know the shit that I go through with Tokyo about this business. I don't want you going through it." He warned him.

I went into my room and called Whitney.

"Hm called to curse me out about last night?" She answered.

I chuckled while looking out of my window as Zeno got into a black Charger and rode off. "So I'm going out on a date with Zeno in three days," I said excitedly.

She shrieked on the phone and it made me roll my eyes and smile.

"Told you. I knew you liked that convict cologne," she joked.

I slid past whole convict side. I just hoped that he didn't mess it up with any bullshit.
