Peyton and Uriel were close to ruining everything.... at least, that's what a lesser man would say if he had to deal with those two idi... gentlemen. Thankfully I was the type to plan for almost everything and while the news of Papa Tunde's brother had.... up until this point eluded me, it was something I could work with and use to our advantage. I knew this waiting was something they weren't used to, I knew taking orders from someone was something foreign to both Damon and Uriel but no matter how hard they tried, they knew my plan was flawless. One thing I wasn't about to do was to let these niggas stress me the fuck out, I walked out of my office, through the living room, and into the kitchen where the smell of food gave me instant comfort, but I didn't stop to allow myself to enjoy the smell for too long, there was someone way more important than myself that I needed to check on. I walked down to the basement and found Ramses sitting alone in the theater, he didn't seem to notice me yet and I took the time to just watch him. I knew he was probably going through it, I could see it in his body language and I wanted.... needed nothing more than to make sure he was good because if he wasn't the everything could come crashing down; I'm not talking about that shyt with Papa Tunde, nah... I was talking about our relationship because Ramses was the glue that kept everything together and I..... we both needed him.
"Hey....." I said walking over to him and sitting next to him, Ramses had this serene look on his face. "I know that couldn't have been easy... your parents just popping up here unannounced and causing all this mayhem.... so how are you feeling?" I asked grabbing his hand.
"Light-headed.... I can't remember the last time I've actually eaten something and I guess it's finally starting to catch up with me." Ramses said and I could tell..... I could just look at him and tell there was way more than he wasn't disclosing and I didn't want to pry but.... "I'm also horny as fuck...." Ramses said smirking.
"Oh yeah? Damn... it's really been a while since the three of us actually had a session." I said trying to think about the last time I had both my niggas to myself; I had been so swamped with work, school, and this Papa Tunde situation that I had lost track.
"Just say the word and I can set something up for tonight, Damon is on his way back and I know he's in a bad mood which always makes for an interesting session." I said smiling.
"As fun as that sounds.... not tonight, I'm not really in the mood. That shyt with my parents really shook me up and all I can think is how I wished was that I had a sister or someone who I could call to beat Farrah's ass because I know she's the one who invited them up here and gave them the address." Ramses said and while I wasn't the type to accuse someone without proof.... she did that shyt.
"I understand..... but you shouldn't be alone, isolation during the holidays can be very dangerous." I said rubbing his shoulders.
"You're one to talk...." Ramses said smirking. "Neither you nor Damon can talk about isolation..... you spend most of the time in your office, at the old apartment, or working and Damon.... well he's becoming a gym rat trying to burn through all this anger he's feeling." Ramses said without a hint of bitterness in his voice, he wasn't saying that to hurt me... he was merely stating facts.
"Yeah.... we've definitely fallen off in terms of spending time together but you understand what's going on and why we're doing what we're doing." I said and Ramses nodded. "I promise it won't be too much longer.... the Ball is coming up and once it's over we'll never have to worry about Papa Tunde again." I said wondering how I was going to deal with that other situation.
"I hope so.... but I also came down here to get away from them..." Ramses said in a cold voice and all I could do was smile because I knew who he was talking about. "I'm sorry, I love Daeja like a sister and you know I got love for Nikolai.... but the way they be fuckin all over the house...... I just can't." Ramses said shaking his head and just as I was about to say 'I'll talk to him', the door to the theater opened and Nikolai walked in shirtless. "I'll be upstairs..." Ramses said getting up and walking out of the theater leaving me alone with Nikolai.
