Sidney and her family struggles with a huge tragedy, earlier in the year.....when Yasmin's jealous ex kills, their big brother Kwamin (Kwa-meen). Its hard, because Kwamin raised them with the help of their aunts and uncle after their parents were mu...
"Can we talk somewhere.....private.....?" I looked at him and Icouldn't help the answer that came out.
"Ok......"
Orion stepped back and I looked at my cousins and sister. Yas was staring out the window, while the others were talking to each other. I thought Ant and Josh were being overly dramatic, that shit threw me way left.......
"Aye.....I'll be back....."
They silently looked at me and just nodded their heads. I looked at Orion again and stepped out, I let a deep breath go and we silently walked farther down the hall.
"I'm really sorry bout my grandma. We told her not to go overboard, but....." I looked ahead and I couldn't fight the goosebumps.
"It's just......she said things that no one should know. No one calls my uncle Benny, but my dad.....I....." I was lost, shocked and.....
I just can't understand it.....!
If it was up to us.....we woulda left the restaurant. I dunno bout everybody else, but I'm scared as fuck. It was just too much and one time. I think that's what had Yas get to a breaking point.....it's been 16 years for our parents, just barely 7 months for Kwamy.....
It still hurts.....
Orion opened a door and let me walk past him, I caught a hint of his cologne and the scent had me take in a deeper breath. It really should be a sin to look and smell this good. What made him come look for me.....?
I looked around the dark room and when the lights came on, I noticed it was an office.

"This is nice....." I've never been past the registers, so it was nice of Denver to let us cool off in the Costas office.
"Thanks.....it's really my brothers office. Drink.....?" He walked to the bar and poured himself a drink.
I shouldn't, "I'll just have a shot....."
I watched Orion pour me a small shot glass. I dunno what it is that he wanna talk about, or why he seems to want to be friendly. But....I'll give it a try and see what this is.
I know it ain't to put down.....
"Thanks....." My fingers brushed against his, taking the shot glass.
His pretty eyes looked at me, it suddenly felt.....tense. Orion shut them tight and he stepped back to lean against the desk. He licked his lips and bit them, letting out another breath, Orion walked around the desk, pulling out a box. He opened the large glass window behind him and the warm Georgia air flowed through. Opening the box, he showed me a rolled joint.
