What Matters Most

Chapter 8

Victor*

Gabe and I just got out of class and are waiting on Silas to finish so we could take Sang shopping. I wasn't sure how she was going to feel about me buying her things, Kevin said she liked to be independent and ever since she got a job, she wanted to pay for her own things. Luckily she quit her job and we didn't have to worry about tailing her there. We were all nervous about her getting caught up in the mission. Her not working makes things a whole lot easier for us.

Gabe was going on and on about all of things that he needed to get for Sang while we waited on Silas and when he finally came out, I was more than happy to get this shopping trip out of the way, if only for the sake of Gabe and his non stop ideas on what Sang needed. 

"I want to redo her room in the apartment, make it her own since she is living there now. I also want to give her a couple rooms on our level, just in case she needs to stay with any of us." Gabe was saying as we walked to where we were meeting the one girl that makes us all happy. She truly is a princess. I think that's what I'll call her. 

"Why aren't we just making the floor one huge apartment like Axel and his team did?" Silas asked. I wondered the same thing. It would be so much easier than the way things are now. I know most of the guys hated having to get dressed just to walk down the hall to get one of us. It would be a lot more simple.

"Owen is working on the plans with Axel. They just need to figure out what they can do for the two other people on floor." Gabe answered.

I was just about to offer a payout for a suggestion when Gabe cut me off.

"Is that Sang?"

Silas and I whipped our heads to the side and saw Jade push Princess up against the brick wall. Silas was moving before I even blinked.

"That girl is going to be trouble." Gabe stated as we ran to catch up.

Before Silas got to her, Sang was shoving Jade back. Jade said something to her and took off, grabbing Rocky who I just now noticed, and made him go with her.

Silas pulled Sang into a hug, her feet dangling. I saw her eyes grow wide before she noticed who it was. Then she shrugged and wrapped her legs around Silas' hips so it wouldn't be so awkward.

"Are you hurt Agele mou?" Silas asked.

"What the fuck do you mean, is she hurt? Gabe shouted "that bitch just slammed Trouble's head into the wall."

"I'm fine." Sang sighed. "Wait... who's trouble?" She asked Gabe curiously.

"You are, the best kind of fucking trouble there is though."

"What did Jade want Princess?" I asked her as Silas put her back on her feet.

She gave me a curious look, most likely because of the nickname but left it alone with a small smile.

"Just her usual, leave Rocky alone, he's hers, blah blah blah." She picked up the rest of her things that fell out of her bag with the help of Gabe.

"The thing is, I try to stay far away from Rocky. He's bad news. She is too. But somehow he always finds me. I swear it's like he knows my schedule."

While she was shoving the last of her things into her bag, Silas, Gabe and I shared a look. This was a problem because I had a feeling what she said was true. Rocky was actively seeking out Sang.

"What does he say to you?" Silas asked.

"Just that I'm his girl. He calls me pretty girl. It grosses me out." Sang shuddered. "It's actually really creepy."
