Brother's Keeper 2

CHAPTER FORTY TWO

Giovanni's POV

We had our probate about two hours after the Sigmas. I was dressed in all black suit but accented with red gold paisley tie set and vest. I also had on some crimson loafers. I thought I looked good.

Walking into the main area of the house, I looked over at the new line. They were huddled together, still going the information that they learned over the last few weeks. We dressed them in crimson pants and black shirts with black loafers.

"Alright fellas! Are yall ready to do this? Ready to join an elite brotherhood?"

"Yes, Big Brother!"

"Ayo, PB Rho! Let's mount up! If you riding with me, you got 10 seconds."

Polo came down and he smiled at me. "Glad I came down or else you would've left me."

Kissing his cheek, I said "I'd never leave you, bae."

"You better not."

When we arrived to the gym, the audience was packed. Demarcus' father, Kevin and the chef from Isis, Edward was apart of the alumni members in attendance. I spotted Trevor and Adrian as well. I knew they were there for Kaden.

Handsome and Wealthy by Migos started up as we walked into the gym. When the guys got into place, I did the welcome and all that jazz. The Ace took over and I let them do their thing. When it was time to present them, I could feel the energy change in the room. After I introduced them and gave their line name, they each did a version of our shimmy. When Kaden crossed, Adrian was loud as hell. Chris couldn't stop smiling as he hugged his younger brother.

Once it was all said and done, the guys went to their family and friends. I needed them back at the house though since we needed to talk about the next president. I stayed for a few and made sure everyone left and that everything we brought in was taken out.

As I walked into the house, Polo grabbed my hand.

"Come on, old school. Let's go pass the crown."

"Damn, bae. I'm already old school?"

"Well I mean, you're about to graduate in like a month. May as well get used to it."

I smacked his ass and said, "You still love me though."

"Always, grandpa."

"Smart ass. Come on so we can get this over with and get these niggas outta the house so I can have you climbing the walls."

When we walked in, the chatter died down a bit. The rookies were still bouncing like excited puppies.

"Fellas, I just need a couple minutes of your time. With me and the rest of the seniors graduating, you all will need new leadership. I asked you all to vote on who you thought could carry on the legacy of Phi Beta Rho. So without all of the fanfare, even though he deserves it all, the next president of this chapter is Big Brother Simmer. Not only are you getting a great president, but I know he will make sure that your grades are on point, he will also give you guidance and a word when you need it. Give it up yall!"

They all clapped and yelled for him as he looked real emotional.

"Wow. Brothers, I cannot say how honored that you all would even want me to be your president. I'm not the most outgoing or talkative. I thought for sure that Polo had this on lock."

Polo said, "No, you deserve this and more. I know that you have helped me with my studying and just your positive outlook on a lot of things have helped me even when you didn't know you were helping. You are the perfect brother for this role."

He gave a bow of his head and just said, "Thank you. Thank you all. I promise to live up to the principles of this brotherhood."

I looked out at the rest of them and said, "Ay yo, before yall go get into whatever ho activities you have planned, make sure you let me and Simmer know if you plan on applying to stay in the house next year. Also, let us know if you are moving out. With that said, have fun and be safe. I'm not bailing anybody out of jail."

I made my way up to my room to get out of my suit. At the top of the stairs, I looked back down into the common area and smiled. I had one more month to enjoy these moments.
