Chapter 10

MARCO-

"So are you going to my party?" Noelle asked as I put my pants back on

"Hell nah..." I mumbled

Why did I have to give into temptation?

"I won't tell your little girlfriend what happened," she rolled her eyes at me

"Ok.. Im out," I grabbed my phone

"Bye babe!"

**

I got in my car and checked my phone I had one missed call from Leilani.

I put my phone to my ear and waited for her to pick up,

"Hello?" she answered in her sleepy voice.

She's too perfect.

"Hey babe, sorry I missed your call. My phone died," I lied

"Oh it's cool," she yawned

"So what's my angel doing?"

"I was asleep," she chuckled, "Why are you still up Marco?"

"I uh...I can't sleep."

I pulled up in front of my house.

I need to stop these lies.

LEILANI-

**two weeks later**

I woke up to the smell of pancakes. I pulled the covers off my body and went to my bathroom.

"Leilani are you up?" my dad asked through the intercom

"Yea dad."

"Can you come downstairs?"

"Sure give me a minute."

I quickly washed my face, brushed my teeth and headed downstairs.

"Why are you all dressed up dad?" I grabbed a piece of bacon off his plate

"I have a business trip."

"When are you going?"

"It's today through Wednesday."

"What the heck dad..."

"You'll be fine Leilani, it's only for 4 days."

"I know but why are you just now telling me?"

"It was a short notice thing," he looked at his watch, "I need to be heading out, here's 600 dollars.This is for emergencies only!"

"Ok dad!" I grabbed the money out of his hands

"Miss Tracy will be checking up on you from time to time. I don't mind if you have your friends over but NOT Marco."

"Fine," I mumbled

"Ok give me a hug."

He pulled me into a hug,

"See ya later dad." I smiled

"Ok sweetheart, oh and don't forget to call your mom."

"Ok bye," I closed the door behind him

Yes! I have the house all to myself. Could things get anymore perfect?

I went back to the kitchen and grabbed my phone,

Aubrey: hey. when are we setting this date up?

me: um pretty soon, I still need to buy some stuff for it

Aubrey: aight. I'll go with you

me: kk. come on over. I'll probably be in the shower so just come in

Aubrey: ok. see you in a little

DRAKE-

I walked in Leilani's house hoping she was out of the shower.

"HELLO?" I yelled out

"I'll be down in just a second!" she said through the intercom

I looked around at the pictures of young Leilani on the walls. One stood out to me, it was her and her mom, they looked exactly alike.

"Ok mom, love you too. bye" she said on the phone, jogging down the stairs

"You ready Leilani?"

"Yupp," she slipped on her shoes and grabbed some money off the counter

"Oh you ballin' huh?"

"Haha not even you're the rapper," she winked at me

She opened the door and walked out as she locked it behind her,

"Where you tryna go?" I pulled out of her driveway

"We need to go to the mall and Walmart."

**

I locked the door as we walked into the entrance of the mall.

"Why we come here again?"

"You need a nice outfit tonight! Look theres Urban Outfitters come on," she grabbed my arm

I started going through some of the shirts. I literally hated all of them, I'm not big into the hipster clothing.

"Hey I'm gonna go downstairs to the women's section, text me when you found something."

"Aight I will."

I grabbed a shirt and headed to the dressing room.

"Aye Drake!"

I turned around to see Marco and some girl approaching me,

"Uh wassup mang," I dapped him and nodded at the girl

"I'm gonna go downstairs Marco," the girl walked off

"Nigga who is that?"

"Oh that's Sydney, we're just friends though mang."

"Does Leilani know you're here with her?"

"Nah, I told her I was working on some homework," he rubbed the back of his neck

"Damn, that's kinda fucked up you know?"

"It's all good, really," he shrugged

"No it's not, because she's here too."

"Like here at the mall?" he got nervous

"Yea, like in the store, we came here together."

"The fuck? Shouldn't you be with Jade and not my girl?"

"It ain't even like that, she setting up this thing for me and Jade tonight."

"Oh," he mumbled

"Here she come," I pointed out

"Nigga, you didn't see me," he rushed out the store

"Are you gonna get that shirt?" she asked

"What shirt?... oh uh yea."

I payed for the shirt and motioned Leilani to come on,

"Ugh why won't Marco answer his phone?!" she groaned

"Shit I dunno. you ready to go?"

"Yea.." she sighed

Hopefully guilt won't eat me alive~
