The gift 2/2 - 23

Gio

I watched as Skai's mouth dropped open in shock. I honestly didn't think she would've came and I was even more surprised that she didn't bring anyone with her especially since her dad told me about her little friend Carter I was kinda looking forward to meeting him.

I got up as Skai began to back away towards the door, grabbing her arm before she could reach the handle I pulled her to me.

"You don't understand how much I've missed you" I sighed as I pulled her in for a hug "H-how?" was all she said before I shushed her. I knew she was talking about how I got out of prison since I had a few more years left. "That father of yours bailed me out, I always did like him more than your mother"

I engulfed Skai in a big hug taking in her scent every time I breathed in "Why? Why would he let you out?!" She questioned as she struggled to get out of my hold. "Cause we were meant to be baby girl. How am I going to protect you if I'm behind bars?"

"PROTECT ME? GIO YOU WERE THE MOST DANGEROUS THING IN MY LIFE. MY LIFE HAD GOTTEN BETTER ALMOST INSTANTLY AFTER YOU GOT ARRESTED. DO YOU NOT REMEMBER EVERYTHING YOU PUT ME THROUGH?!" Skai yelled

I grabbed her chin forcing her to look up at me "First off, I don't know who the fuck you think you are yelling at. Second, of course I know what you went through, and I am truly sorry I regret ever putting my hands on you even in the slightest way. I'm a better man now, being behind bars has made me think of my mistakes and baby I'm sorry. You know what I've been through even thou that's not an excuse to validate hurting you. I just want us to be happy baby, you know I love you" I spoke to her as I looked into her eyes, they were full of fear I could tell that she regretted even coming here.

I watched as tears dropped from her eyes "Gio, no. You put me through hell, made me think I wasn't enough, always seeking someone else's approval, you being gone has taught me that I don't need anyone but myself. I've also gained many wonderful friends who aren't scared to talk to me cause they think you'd hurt them. If your truly sorry and if you really love me you'll let me go."

The thought of me letting her go made anger run through my body. "LET YOU GO?! I SAID I WANT US TO BE HAPPY NOT JUST YOU. NOT HAVING YOU IN MY LIFE FOR THAT SHORT TIME I WAS LOCKED WAS TORTURE SO IMAGINE HOW ID FEEL NOT HAVING YOU IN MY LIFE AT ALL. ITS ALWAYS GOING TO BE ME AND YOU, ILL KILL YOU BEFORE I LET YOU GO." I yelled. Seeing her tremble in fear made me feel good, it reminded me that I'm still in control.

"You haven't changed a bit Gio. How the hell do you expect me to be happy with you? I'm leaving Gio and I'm not coming back." I chuckled at her attempt to scare me, me and her both know she's not leaving.

"Oh what? Your gonna runaway to Nick again? Or are you tired of him so that's why you have Carter now? See your still the same little slut you were before I left. I thought you would have learned by now. Your not having anyone but me." I said stepping towards her

"As for you leaving... that's not going to happen. Because you see your present wasn't just seeing me, your father did the generous act of selling your current apartment and letting you live with me." I smirked as I saw her eyes water and shock fill her face

"Movers will be coming in the morning to bring your items here, and don't try fighting it because we will gladly send you back to NY maybe even a different state and we all know how much your brother and friends mean to you so leaving them will be so hard for you won't it?"

Skai didn't say anything, she was just frozen "I promise I won't hit you again, at least not hard because your dad doesn't have enough to bail me out if I get sent back to prison. You and I have a lot in store, as for now why don't you head upstairs and get ready for bed? There's a T-shirt up there that you can wear until your clothes come." She didn't argue or even try to leave, Skai simply walked passed me and headed up the stairs not making a sound.
