Gang over Love

Chapter Nine

Meilani Marie

A smile crept onto my face as I turned around and saw Gianni.

"Looks like you found me." I said joking with him

"Sorry I didn't text you it honestly slipped my mind."

"It's fine, but do you wanna get outta here and take a walk. This place is so close to the beach."

He nodded and grabbed my hand leading me to the door.

The cold summer night wind hit us hard causing me to shiver.

He took his bomber off and put it around my shoulder without saying a word.

We silently walked to the beach occasionally glancing at each other. I don't know why he makes me so nervous.

As we reached the beach he picked a spot and we cuddled up watching the waves.

"You know even though we met today theres something about you lil miss Lani that makes me feel like I've known you forever." He said nudging my arm when he said my name.

I couldn't help but smile, "I know exactly what you mean."

Somehow being around him sobered me up slightly.

I couldn't help but think "what if I kissed him?"

I was pulled out of my thoughts as he put r&b music on, and made me stand up.

He twirled me around on the warm sand. I would give anything just to stay like this forever. Gianni was my escape. And I'll be damned if I let him slip away.

Hours passed until we decided it was time to head back to the house.

And as soon as I walked onto the door step, Zay yanked the door open.

Looking past him I saw that the party cleared out and only Zay, Jalen and Melody were inside.

Turning to Gianni I thanked him for the nice night and politely asked him to leave.

He nodded silently then walked away.

I released a sigh and faced my fate.

"Why were you with him?" Zay questioned me

"why do you care?" I spat back

"Watch ya tone and answer my question." He warned

"how bout you watch YOUR tone and move out MY way!" I said pushing him out my way

He grabbed me by my weave yanking me back as I tried to slip past him.

"Don't play with me little girl. Go to your room since you wanna act like a brat." Rolling my eyes I headed upstairs

I slipped into Zay's room quietly looking behind myself.

I rummaged through the drawers looking for my phone.

Time passed as I searched, and I almost gave up.

That was until I looked on the floor of his closet and there it was.

Running excitedly I grabbed it and slid out the room.

A sly smirk crept onto my face as I walked to my room.

All of my messages came flooding in. Day Day must have put a block on my phone when he had me, because a months worth of texts came in.

A tear fell from my eye as I came across messages from my parents. They were worried sick about me.

Immediately after texting them they quickly responded.

The convo was cut short, because I heard footsteps near my room.

My breath hitched in my throat as my door slowly opened.
