Gang over Love

Chapter Eight

Meilani Marie

Hours passed as we walked around the mall. The boys were going crazy rummaging through the men's section of the stores. And Melody went straight to the lingerie section, of course  that's not a surprise. I just kind of lingered around not knowing where to go.

So, I decided to walk to the pretzel stand, but a guy bumped into be stopping my tracks.

"My fault shawty you good?" The guy said, and when I looked up at him he was truly a work of art. He was light skin with freckles, chiseled jaw line, and curly hair. His muscles bulged out his Gucci long sleeve shirt.

Smiling I said, "no no don't even worry about it. It was all me."

Shaking his head, he said "let me buy you something, because I feel bad for almost knocking you off your feet."

Trying to hide my smile, I responded with, "well I was on my way to get a pretzel you can come if you like."

Almost immediately he said yes and we walked to the cart.

"Wait I didn't even get your name!" He suddenly said breaking the silence

"Oh yeah it's Meilani, but you can call me Mei like everyone else." I said blushing

"Well I'm not like everyone else. So I'll call you Lani!" He's like a little kid lighting up every time he has an idea. I couldn't help but notice how adorable he is. 

"That's cute. What's yours?" I ask

"I for real keep forget to tell you important stuff, but I'm Gianni. I don't really have a nickname since my name is already kind of short."

Smiling after I ordered my pretzels I said "well I'm gonna make one for you."

He flashed his dimpled smile and responds with, "if you're gonna make a nickname for me that must mean you wanna see me again huh?"

"Well maybe I do"

"Then let's make it happen."

A small amount of time passed we stood there admiring each other.

I know I shouldn't get close to anyone else after the whole kidnapping times two and the day day  situation. But, there's something about Gianni that chills me out. We vibe perfectly together.

I turned my head for a second, and looked back and my last pretzel was gone.

Gianni stood there trying to hold in a laugh with his mouth stuffed.

I busted out laughing at the sight.

This was the most genuine fun I've had in a while.

"Boy gimme ya phone so I can put my number in" I demanded

"Okay miss thang hold up." He said this an accent.

It was at that moment that I realized he had a country twang in his voice.

Handing me his phone I quickly typed the digits as fast as I could, because I saw the group approaching us.

Sliding the phone back I rapidly said, "hey I had a good time but I got to go now. I hope to hear from you soon or atleast talk."

Before he could respond I was gone.

The last thing I need was for Zay and Jalen to find out.

Then it hit me, I missed my chance to escape when I was with him.

It sucks that it was probably my only chance of quick freedom.

Speaking of the devils, the three of them walked up to me asking where I was.

I kept the response short saying I ate and walked.

They dropped the subject and Melody showed me my outfit for tonight. And it was hot! It kind of made me excited for tonight.

Meilani Marie

So much time passed since the mall trip. I stayed in my room deep in my thoughts. I missed my life, my family, and my free will.

The party was starting soon and I was still putting the finishing details on my outfit.

Grabbing my fur coat, I exited the room strutting in my heels.

Zay looked me up and down quickly as he turned the Xbox off.

"Damn you know how to dress, ma."

"I sho do thank you very much." I responded fiercely feeling myself.

Slowly people walked into the house and went straight to the drinks. And before I knew it the place was packed.

Walking through the crowd I began twerking knowing I looked good in my skirt.

Guys around me started clapping and saying "yeah shake dat ass" loudly

Luckily no one grabbed me up because I'll slap a mf so quick no matter how lit I am.

My ciroq spilled out my cup as I twerked and dropped into a split.

One thing about me is I get wild when im drunk. I'm always dancing, singing, or playing beer games.

I danced some more until I felt someone's presence behind me.

And he said "damn you got moves mami" and my face froze as I tried to analyze the voice.

And I was shocked when I realized who it was.
