Lani
The next morning
I wake up wrapped in Abel's arms on the couch. I see we both crashed in our regular clothing. I was so gone last night I can barely remember things. Being drunk and high felt so good. I haven't felt that way in years. I may have told a little lie about not me not smoking... Well technically it isn't a lie because I've stopped smoking and I do hate the smell of it because it makes me want to smoke more.
I lean up to get out of Abel's grasp but he suddenly awakes.
"Good morning baby girl." He says holding me with one arm rubbing his face with the other.
"Good morning Abel."
"Why so formal I'm your boyfriend, give me a nickname or something." he says rubbing my back slowly.
If he doesn't stop I'll be right back asleep in seconds.
"I call you stud muffin at times when I feel like you are one." I laugh running my fingers across his thin beard.
"That's a gay ass nickname." he laughs.
"You should google it before you speak."
"I will but first I still need answers about last nights."
I grin sitting up on Abel while he remains laying down. I know he wants to be nosy now.
"What do you want to know?" I ask.
"Just the basics you know the smoking, the dancing, the smoking." he repeats counting out on his fingers.
I laugh fixing my crooked septum in my nose.
"Alright, the dancing came from those drinks and the weed." I say "I told you I wanted to go out on the dance floor."
"Good thing you didn't because I'd probably have to kill a few niggas out there." he says with a straight face which scares me a bit.
"Moving on." I say changing that topic.
"I can smoke by watching videos on YouTube."
"That's a lie you smoked way to professional you have experience. Confess." Abel says thumping my arm repeatedly.
"Okay okay," I say rubbing my arm. That shit hurts.
"I started smoking when I first got to high school. I was stressed and always tensed up about something. So one day my friend Tray told me he had a solution for me. To make make a long story short, we smoked and I loved the feeling and everything about it, but eventually like my junior year I stopped because it was getting out of hand and I felt like a pot head or something so I quit."
"Your not as innocent as people think you are. Do you have anymore secrets you want to tell me?" Abel ask with a sly like smile on his lips.
"Nope." I say shaking my head.
"I found it attractive when you smoked at the club, I was shocked but impressed." he says.
"I bet you did," I smile "Too bad I'm never smoking again a day in my life."
"Never say never."
"Whatever." I say rolling my eyes at him.
There's no way I'm letting old habits come back. The last thing on my mind is drugs I'm trying my best to be successful in life.
"You know what I've just thought about," Abel says placing his hands behind his head.
"What?" I ask looking at him.
"One, you are a major freak but you hide it so well." he says with a grin.
"What just randomly made you say this?" I ask him.
"Because my memory is coming back from last night and you said you thought we came back to and I quote 'do it.'" He smiles cockily.
I have an urge to punch him for some reason but I'll resist. I may have said that so I can't hit him for it.
"I was lifted I probably didn't know what I was saying." I say defending myself.
"Real thoughts and feelings come out when your intoxicated." he winks.
"Carry on with the next thing you had to say before I pinch you."
"And two... you are an amazing girlfriend." he says lowering his hands around my waist.
I giggle to keep from turning red in the face.
"I've only been your official girlfriend for a day Abel." I laugh.
"But it's feels like months if you ask me."
I stare at Abel as he shows his bunny teeth. I feel like this is going to be a good relationship between us. Hopefully everything goes right.
I lean downing placing a soft kiss on his lips. Abel pulls me down closer deepening the kiss. He's breaks the it and looking at me,
"You still wanna do it?" he smiles childishly.
"You're such a sex maniac." I say rolling my eyes.
"Hey your the one sitting on top of me with a skirt on." he points out.
See this is why I prefer pants because I forget about shit like this that easily.
"I swear I didn't know." I laugh trying to hide my embarrassment.
As I try to get off Abel he quickly flips us over so he's on top of me now.
"I feel like you're teasing me on purpose." he says closely to my face.
"Who said I was teasing you?" I ask rhetorically.
"I just feel like you do it." he says kissing face.
"Stop it, why are you always so energized?" I ask turning my face to the side to block his kisses.
"Because I love you and want to kiss you all day long."
"That's nice now get off me your heavy." I say.
"What's the magic words?" he ask in an annoying kid tone.
"I love you?" I say taking a guess.
"It was Finn and Jake but I'll take that."
He laughs pecking my lips again before he finally gets off me. Just like as if it was planned my phone rings. I get up walking to the counter where I left it, to see who's calling me.
I pick up my phone to see its Cash💸 calling, which is weird because he's never called me before.
"Hello?" I say answering.
"Good morning Miss America." he coos into the phone.
I told him countless of times he doesn't have to always call me that.
"Good morning cash," I chuckle "what's up?"
"I called to tell you that I've got you a shoot today for the old xo merchandise that we've restocked on."
"A shoot today? I'm free and bored so I'm in."
"Best model xo ever had. I'll send you the address and what time you need to be there." He says.
"Why thank you," I say flattered "I'll be there."
"Alright, and I almost forgot I'm paying you today for all the work you've done on this tour. You've helped out a lot." he says.
"Sounds fantastic." I say.
"Okay, see you in a while." he says and we both end the call.
Wow a shoot today really caught me off guard. I haven't had a major shoot since the first one at that old warehouse. I only take pictures in the gear and cash post them up on the website and on via Instagram. I receive lots of lives from xo fans too.
"Who was that?"
I jump a little. Abel is standing right behind me. I did not hear him move at all.
"That was Cash you light footed creeper." I say.
"What did he want?" he ask.
"He told me I have a shoot today for the restock of the older merch and that he's paying me also."
"What time are you going?"
Why is he asking so many questions. I feel like I'm in class or something.
"Cash texted me and said for me to be ready at four." I say looking at the text message that just came in.
"Why are you asking so many questions?" I ask.
"Because I'm going to be bored as shit when you leave." he says sounding like a big baby now.
I laugh "I'll be back so fast you won't even know I'm gone." I say flicking his button like nose.
"I guess so." he sighs.
"I'm going to go freshen up now you cry baby." I say walking off.
"I'll come join once you get in the shower." he says.
"I wish you would try that with me I'd claw your eyes out." I laugh closing the door locking Abel out the entire bedroom. Better safe than sorry.
I decide I'll wear a simple tee and sweats since I'm going to be changing repeatedly. I reach in the lush bag on the bed and pull out a face scrub called ocean breeze. I want to have a radiant glow so my pictures will be flawless. I walk in the bathroom and begin to freshen up. I kill time by playing J Cole's album while I'm cleansing. I'm starting my day off productive.
-------------------------------------------
Since I still had time to kill Abel took me to get some food and once I finished eating was basically time for the shoot. I'm on my way back to the hotel now to meet Cash and leave.
"The answer is no." I say throwing my hand up.
"Why?" Abel asks glancing over to me.
Abel and I are going at it about him dropping me off at the shoot and staying. He's so damn nosy. I can do a simple shoot and come back on my own.
"Because your doing too much, I can do this by myself let me have a little independence."
"How am I doing too much? I just want to sit back and see you model is that so hard." he ask.
"You just went and got this one day rental car to drive me to get food which you also did to follow me." I say sipping my berry mixed smoothie.
"Okay, can I just take you there and watch I won't say a thing. I don't want to be in the room bored till you get back."
"Find something to do till I get back."
He groans loudly gripping the steering wheel. I think my bratty ways are rubbing off on him.
"I'm going to be right back." I coo.
"I guess so." he says grumpily frowning.
I pinch his cubby cheek and he swats at my hand. He looks like a adorable man baby if that makes sense.
"I must be rubbing off on you already cause your pouting like me." I laugh.
"You're contagious that's why." he says picking up my smoothie taking a long sip of it.
"I'm contagious but you're drinking my drink." I say adding emphasis on my.
"This is good." he says taking another sip.
I snatch my drink out of his hand. Greedy ass should have got him one when we were there.
We pull up to the hotel and Cash is already outside waiting by the car. I'm so excited for this. Abel stops the car and looks at me.
"See you later Abel." I say opening the car door.
he grabs my arm pulling me back in.
"See you later who?" he ask as if he didn't hear me.
I blink my eyes slowly to refrain from rolling them again.
"See you later my clingy aggressive boyfriend of mine." I say pecking his lips.
"See you," he smiles brightly.
I exit the car walking over to Cash. He opens the car door for me and I slide in buckling my seatbelt. Suddenly my phone vibrates from a text,
My stud muffin💞😍: I love you.
I smile at the text. It's the little things that count.
Me: I love you too now go find something to do please lol.
I reply locking my phone. Cash gets in and we're off. Cash shows me on his phone all the pieces I'll be wearing and I instantly fall in love. Yeah this should be fun.
Abel
I'm stuck alone now for a few hours. I refuse to be bored so I decided that I'll go to the studio down town and fuck with some beats or something. I invited my boys to come to keep me company.
I walk into the studio and I smell the good is already being fired up. The boys beat me here I see.
"Wussup bro." LaMar says shaking my hand as I walk in.
"What's good all you ugly ass niggas." I say taking a seat in a rolling chair.
"Says the nigga with spider legs growing out his head." Hawk laughs.
"Fuck you, who got the drugs?" I ask ignoring him.
"I only had a blunt for myself." Hy says shrugging.
"Inconsiderate ass niggas." I mumble pulling my phone out texting some people back.
They know I'm damn near a drug addict and the least they could do is have me a blunt or something.
"Yo A, why are we here?" Hawk ask randomly.
"Do you have something to do?" I ask him.
"Nah not really."
"Alright then nigga shut up." I chuckle focusing back on my phone.
"Where's Lani?" LaMar asked.
"She's doing a shoot with Cash so I'm here bored as fuck with you motherfuckers."
"Your mouth is reckless today huh?" he laughs.
"I know this random but how does it feel dating a minor again." Hawk laughs obnoxiously.
"How would it feel to have my foot up your ass?" I ask.
"Cool it down nigga I was just joking, you and Lani are goals dammit." he says holding his hands up in surrender.
"Must be nice to be in love." Hy sighs sadly.
This nigga is worst than me. He broke his ex girlfriend heart and ended up being sad about it. Typical Hyghly for you.
"It is." I smile.
About two hours past and Lani still hasn't texted me back giving me details on the shoot. I'm growing bored of playing with beats now and my boys are killing my nerves. My phone rings in my pocket and I look to see who's calling me. I was hoping it was Lani but it was an number thst wasn't saved but I answer anyways.
"Hello?" I say into the phone.
"Hello Tesfaye I've been missing you."
The voice sounds very familiar. I can't put my finger on who it is yet.
"Who is this?" I ask.
"You've forgot about me already? I guess people do move on from their exes."
I freeze and look at the number on the screen. What the fuck this Bella. I could have sworn I blocked her number. I place the phone back up to ear even though I wanted to hang up.
"What do you want?" I say getting up walking outside the studio.
I don't know where this is going to go and I don't want to act up over the phone in front of my boys.
"I want us to be back together. You left me with any explanation. We were in love and you know it Abel. I miss you so much."
"That won't be happening." I say coldly.
"I almost forgot that you have a new girlfriend now. You left for a girl you barely know Abel! We had something special that you and her can never have and you know that."
"Bi- Bella get off my phone and go play with some dolls or some shit."
"Your bitch isn't even older than me so I guess me and her can have a play date."
"Watch your mouth I'm trying to show you the little respect that I have for you. "
"Why are you acting like this all of a sudden? Two months ago we were fine till this mystery girl comes in the picture winning her heart. What did I do wrong?"
I take a deep sigh. To be honest Bella didn't do anything wrong. I first starting dating Bella when she was seventeen but we kept it on the low. I kind of did dump her for no reason when I think about it. It's like fell in love with Lani soon as I laid eyes on her and some how I didn't feel the same about Bella anymore. Don't get me wrong she was a good girlfriend but she had her fucking ways of pissing me off a lot. Soon as I started to show her off to the media she was in it for attention. Our relationship grew into nothing but publicly, sex, and auguring. We just weren't meant to be if you ask me.
"Nothing, just move on."
"How do I move on when you own my heart still?"
"Go buy a new one." I say bitterly.
Her persistency is making me mad.
"Can we just talk about this?"
"I'm busy on tour."
"When can we just meet up and have a conversation on it so I can move on with my life Abel? Your hurting me and your failing to realize it."
I hear her sniff over the phone and I'm positive that she's crying. What the fuck am I supposed to do?
"Look... after tonight we're leaving out the states again for a few days and afterwards we are stopping in L.A for a day. We can meet up then but I don't want any media there around us."
She's great at tweeting shit about her location bring unwanted attention along with her. That's how rumors start to fly around.
"Ok I can do that." she says.
"Alright." I say hanging up the phone quickly.
I walk in the back in the studio taking a seat in the rolling chair.
"Is you ok nigga you look a little upset." Hawk says.
"Yeah I'm fine."
"Who was that on the phone an old groupie or something?"
"It was Bella." I say.
LaMar face turns to disgust. I told you he hates that girl.
"Why the hell she calling you?" He ask.
"She's talking about she misses me and other bullshit."
"I know you got on her ass right?" Hy chimes in asking.
"No I'm going to meet up with her when we go L.A." I mumble.
I know they are planning to get on me.
"You what?" LaMae ask in shock.
"No bro that's a horrible idea what the fuck." Hy says.
"She started crying what was I suppose to do?"
"By being the heartless person you are." Hawk says.
"I know what I'm doing." I say annoyed.
The guys all mumble their opinions but ignore them. I got this. Now I wanna know where is Lani. It's been like five hours and I know it doesn't take that long to shoot. I quickly text Cash asking where are they.
Cash : Leaving the mall on the way to the hotel.
Me : why where you at the mall?
Cash : Miss America wanted to get something.
Me : alright see you at the hotel.
Why did she want to go to the mall when we just shopped for tons of shit.
"I'm out niggas." I say getting up going towards the door.
"Awww Lani wants you to come read her a bedtime story?" Hawk says.
"If I had a gun your brains would be on the floor." I say walking out the door. He knows how to push my buttons.
I get in my rental and head back to the hotel. When I arrive I head straight up to the room.
I unlock the door and head in to see Lani humming carrying a box in her hands.
"What's that?" I ask closing the door.
She jumps dropping it "You scared me." she chuckles softly.
"Sorry about that." I smile. "Now answer my question."
"You could ask how the shoot went first before being nosy." she says.
"I know you did good your a natural that's why I didn't have to ask."
"You have a point." she smiles flipping her hair.
She's so cute.
"But this box is for you." she says holding the box out to me.
"What is it?" I ask looking at the box.
"Open it and find out."
I take the box opening it up. It's a brown pair of men uggs, the one with the shoe strings. That explains why she went to the mall now.
"You like them?" she asks.
"They're..." I trail off trying to think of something to say about the girly shoes.
"No you don't like them," she says as her face saddens slowly.
"I knew I should have got the black pair. I just wanted to give you a gift after all the things you bought me."
"They're perfect." I say.
I'm not fund of these shoes. There too preppy and doesn't fit my image but since my baby girl bought them for me I'll wear them.
"If you don't like them honestly can take them back."
"Nope too late I'm in love with them now."
"Yay." she smiles clapping her hands.
I pull her closer and leaning down to give her a kiss on the lips.
"I love you." I say pecking her lips.
"I know you tell me this everyday." she says returning the kiss.
"I just don't want you to forget it."
"Get out of your feelings."
"I need you to get in yours." I laugh.
"Whatever, Try your shoes on." she demands.
I sit down in a chair and take off my black yeezy's and put on these teddy bear ass shoes. Wow this makes my masculine level drop but at least she got my size right.
I stand up and turn around letting her look at them on my feet.
"You look so cute!" she squeals.
"I do?" I ask.
She's kind of hyped up about these shoes on me. Should I wear these all the time or some shit?
"Yes, you should let me post a picture of you in them on my Instagram like that's how adorable you look."
"Oh so I'm the model now?" I ask and she nods pulling out her phone.
"Say stud muffin." she says as I stand taking the picture.
I try to keep a straight face for the photo but a smirk grows. She makes me happy and she doesn't even know it.
"My fans are going to think I'm gay." I chuckle.
"Your gay but dating me...that makes no sense."
My phone makes the notification noise and I check my phone.
PrincessxLani ; new kicks on the muffin 🤗😍
"Turn my notifications off creep." she laughs looking at me.
That's not happening. I like to be nosey and keep up with everything that goes on. I refuse to miss a moment. Little does she know I have her Twitter notifications on too.
"First I'm a muffin now I'm a muffin in uggs." I laugh sitting back down reading the caption again.
"Abel a stud muffin is a man who's sexually attractive." she says with a sheepish smile.
"Seriously?"
She nods holding her head down.
"You find me sexually attractive?" I ask pointing to myself.
"You would have known that earlier but you didn't want to look it up." she says placing her hands on her hips.
"Come here." I say directing her with my finger.
She looks at me for a few seconds before she finally walks over sitting in my lap. I kiss her jaw and work my way to her neck.
"Your secret is out." I say against her neck.
"What is my secret?" she laughs moving around due to me kissing her sensitive neck.
"That you really wanna fuck but your holding back."
She gasp and tries to get out of my lap.
"Vulgarness Abel, you should watch it." she says.
I laugh at how she didn't deny my point. She's probably trying to avoid getting turned on right now but I'll chill... for today.
"Alright I'm done." I chuckle grabbing the keys out my pocket.
"Where are you going?" she ask.
"We are going to get me one of those smoothies you had earlier."
"Okay." she says getting up.
"I want a large berry one like the one you had that shit was so good."
"Why are you telling me?"
"Because for my final gift your going to buy it."
She laughs and nods.
"Alright I can do that."
I follow her out the door and we are out. All I can think about is how It's crazy that this girl is making me feel no pain or worries. She's the one.
