Gia's POV

I'm currently calling Eli.

My four day phone punishment is over which I'm so happy for.

Eli
Hello

Gia
Hey

Eli
Wassup

Gia
Uhm is everything okay

Eli
Why the fuck did you get into a fight jeopardizing your release date?

Gia
Eli I'm so sorry. This girl named Priscilla hit me first I wasn't going to just let her beat me either

Eli
You must not fucking love me for you to not even think how this would affect me

Gia
Stop! You know I love you a lot

Eli
No I actually don't anymore. What if your release date would of been affected huh?

Gia
I fucked up I'm sorry

Eli
I gotta do an errand stay out of trouble bye

And just like that the phone line went dead.

My heart thumped hard against my chest as my hands started to shake almost dropping the phone.

I can feel the lump stuck behind the back of my throat as my lips were shaking from wanting to cry.

No matter how bad I wanted to just break down right now I couldn't at least not in the open.

I couldn't believe Eli would hang up on me like that knowing I can only call once a day maybe twice if I'm lucky.

Thoughts started to flow through my mind making my stomach nauseous.

What if he losing feelings for me

What if him being so upset with me makes him go find comfort with another girl

"No he promised he'll wait for me", I whispered to myself brushing away all these thoughts.

One thing I know about Elias Gold is that he doesn't break his promises ever.

Eli's POV

"Good job", Julius firmly says giving me a pat on my shoulder.

"Yeah now where's my money?", I sneer rolling my eyes.

"Calm down boy why are you in so much of a rush?", he narrows his eyes at me taking a seat in front of me.

"I do have a life you know"

"Your life is mine", he hisses.

"You don't own me never forget that now give me my money!", I abruptly stand from my chair slamming my fist onto his desk.

"Here gosh", Julius evilly chuckles.

Suddenly two females barge through the door.

"Ladies over here", Julius demands signaling them.

One girl has long blonde hair maybe around 5'8 feet tall. She was thin and curvy with blue eyes.

The other had long light brown hair. She was short and thick.

They both surrounded Julius.

"My boy over here is single", he says giving me a wink.

"He's hot we can sure give him a good time", the blonde says with a smirk.

"I gotta go", I say giving them a stern glare.

"Don't tell me your still hung up on your ex Gia?", Julius questions furrowing his brows.

"No!", I splutter.

"Then take what I'm offering to you!", he hisses grabbing the other girl on his lap.

"Fine let's go!", I command the blonde to follow me.

The blonde instantly obeys.

"My name is Claire", the blonde hair girl says as I drive downtown.

"Did I ask you?", I spat not giving her a glance the entire ride.

"For someone hot you sure are an asshole", Claire scowls.

"just fuck me lets get this over with", she adds.

Seriously these girls have no self respect for themselves.

"I'm not interested", I bluntly spat.

"Then why did you bring me with you?"

"You must be dumb it was obviously forced now get out!", I demand bringing karma to a complete stop unlocking the doors.

"Dick!", she retorts opening the car door.

"If Julius asks tell him we did sleep together or else I will find you and I will kill you Understand?", I firmly threat narrowing my eyes at her blue ones.

Her blue eyes widen at my words before responding, "I understand".

"Good girl", I spat stepping on the gas pedal speeding away.

I've been on the sofa for an hour now just drinking some beers watching the football game.

As usual my parents are out of town with my grandfather.

I'm starting to feel guilty for being so harsh with Gia earlier.

Fuck maybe I shouldn't of hanged up on her

Your such an idiot

I was eagerly waiting for her call for four days and this is the shit I pull.

I don't understand myself sometimes. I let my anger get to me.

My phone started ringing snapping me out of my thoughts.

I grabbed my phone to see who the fuck it is.

Caller ID: Private

I answer the call hoping its Gia.

Eli
Hello

Gia
I'm sorry

Eli
No I'm sorry about earlier. I was just mad at your actions

Gia
You have every right to be I'm stupid I promise it won't happen again

Eli
I miss you

Gia
Me too a lot. It's hard not being able to see you

Eli
I know believe me

Gia
What are you doing

Eli
At home watching the game and drinking a few beers... You?

Gia
I'm done eating dinner now ready for bedtime in a bit

Eli
Cool.. Have you been eating good?

Gia
Yeah uhm Eli

Eli
Yeah

Gia
I know you've been drinking a lot since I've been in here

Great!

Lulu must of told her about my situation since Jesiah seems to tell her everything.

Gia
Eli

Eli
I'm not going to lie to you. Yes I've been

Gia
Please stop I know right now is hard, but it will all be over soon

Eli
I'll stop once your out this is the only way to numb this loneliness I feel

Gia
Eli I want you to stop now or else I will break up with you

There she goes with her cute threats I know she can't keep.

Eli
Fine I'll try

Gia
I love you Eli never forget that okay

Eli
I love you too don't you forget that ever

One minute left

I hate this operator bitch ass machine.

Gia
Go to sleep and please be safe

I already knew what she was hinting at when she said, "please be safe".

She's talking about my jobs with Julius and the drug business.

Eli
Goodnight don't worry

The phone line hangs up.

A smile forms on my lips as I feel sane again hearing her beautiful voice.

My phone started to ring again as I was about to lay it on the table.

Incoming call: Francia

Eli
Hello

Francia
Hey Eli

Eli
Get to the point. Any info yet?

Francia
Well so far Julius believes everything you've said to him

Eli
Good

Francia
You know once Gia is out he's going to find out especially if your around her right?

As much as I wanted to disagree with her I knew she was right.

Once Gia is out I'm going to want to spend as much time as I can with her.

However if I explain this shit to Gia she would understand about me being away a lot especially for errands.

Maybe I can keep these two worlds apart just until I can set up a plan to deal with Julius.

It can work

Eli
I'll worry about that

Francia
You should just break up with her

Eli
Yeah you would like that

Francia
Yes I would, but I'm also saying this for her own protection okay

Eli
Mind your business call me once you get more info late

I know I'm being selfish for wanting to keep Gia and at the same time deal with Julius along with the drug business.

All I know is that I want to be with her. I don't want to break up with her.

If I do that she will never forgive me and I will lose her for good.

I love her and I can't be without her.

I will leave this drug business life and I will take Julius out of our lives.
