Benjiman Cartier Gotti, "BG" to the streets, "Benji" to those he cared about, which was slim to none. A young thug at the age of twenty one with a hustler's mentality, killer demeanor, and the game that could make any girl fall in love. With a heart...

"I'm proud of you, so I Prada you." - Benjiman Cartier Gotti __________________________
Friday | August 16th
"Layton Westbrooks," The woman called Layton next to come and get her certificate. She walked across the stage with a smile as she shook hands with the dean of her college. They snapped her photo toward the end of the stage and then she headed back to her seat with the feeling that no one could take from her. Layton felt all of her hard work had paid off this first semester in. All the times her mother had told her she wouldn't be shit, felt like only a memory as she succeeded in her life.
This was a huge accomplishment for Layton. She not only had made the dean's list, but was invited to join the National Honors Society at her college. All of her accomplishments meant the world to her. Early on she had doubted herself and her capabilities, but here she was proving herself wrong again and it had her happy.
"Everyone give our Summer semester dean's list a big round of applause for their academic achievements. It is with honor to stand before you, and award them for all of their hard work. As the dean, I would just like to thank you all for coming out tonight to help recognize these lovely individuals. This concludes our ceremony for the evening, you all stay safe and stay blessed."
As the woman concluded the ceremony, everyone got up from their seats to unite with their loved ones. Lay stood from her chair, holding her plaque in hand, and made her way back to find Lira. As she made her way back, her eyes widened as they fell upon Benjiman. It was a big surprise to see him, since he hadn't been on her invite list. He stood there dressed as fly as ever in dark denim Amiri jeans, a white shirt sleeve button up shirt, and a pair of Jordan Dior One sneakers. He was definitely easy on the eye, the chains only added to it.
"Layton, I'm so proud of you!" Lira exclaimed as she had finally made it close to them. Lira pulled her into a quick hug, expressing how proud she was. Layton's mind was still focused on Benji though, especially the bouquet of red roses in his hand along with a bag from Saks Fifth and Neiman Marcus in his opposite hand.
"Thanks Lira," Layton smiled back. She reached over to give Don a friendly hug next, whom she also hadn't been expecting. Lira had been the only true invite, but Rocco of course had nearly begged her to come too. It was then that she remember Rocco was here and more than likely was looking for her through the big crowd.
"I'm proud of you," BG finally spoke up, making any thoughts of Rocco a memory. He handed her the roses and the two gift bags he'd had in hand. Layton's smile appeared quickly as she accepted the gifts from him.
