Apollo and Blade

Chapter five

Sorry for any mistakes🖤

Apollo-

"Can I have a plate to go?" My mom immediately nodded her head getting up to make a plate for me to take home with me. The plate wasn't for me though. I was getting it for Blade. Earlier he was talking about how he was hungry, but I ignored him.

"I haven't see you in forever." Dad said. I came over to their house to have dinner with them. They were happy to see me just pop up.

"You're always at work old man, I came by a couple days ago."

"I know your mother told me, ya friend got shot. Now I would get on your case- but you damn near grown now." Before I could say anything my dad continued to talk. "She also told me that Sevyn came by with you, hmmm."

"It's not like that, we're friends." I clarified. They both looked at me with skeptical faces. "That's what you said last time and I walked in to-"

"He haves a boyfriend who is also my friend."

The didn't seem convinced, but they left me alone. My mom sat the to-go plate in front of me on the table. "The other young man you came with, the one I patched up, who is he?"

"Blade, I met him some months ago."

"What's his real name?" My dad asked. I sucked my teeth ignoring him. I actually liked Blade's name. It fit him well. "He was a nice young man, you've should've seen him hunny, he was so handsome." Mom said to dad.

"Valerie I know damn well." Dad squinted his eyes at her, mom only laughed. "He's a kid, Dale." "Ion give a damn. The way you talking making it seem like you wish you were 20 years younger." Dad joked.

"I do wish I was 20 years younger. Remember in college we used to meet up in the back and we got caught in the middle of having sex." Mom laughed. My mouth dropped. Did they forget that I was right here?

"Yeah that's the day we made you Apollo."

I got out of my seat. I don't want to hear about my parents having sex and when I was conceived. "Alright that's enough, I'll see y'all later." We said our goodbyes and I was on my way.

"Hello?" Blade said on the other side of the phone. "Come open the door, I got you something to eat."

Blade immediately hung up the phone and a minute later he was opening the door. He took the plate out of my hands before walking farther into the house. I rolled my eyes, shutting the door and locking it behind me. "You ain't even gonna say hi?"

He nodded his head at me as he put the food on a regular plate then in the microwave. When the food was in the microwave he walked over to me.

"Your mom cooked?"

"Yeah her and my dad."

"Well, tell them I said thank you. Nigga I've been starving ever since I smoked earlier. And you wanted to neglect me."

I rolled my eyes. He acts like he can't cook for himself. He always want somebody to cook for him or to get him something to eat. "Blade you know how to cook."

"Okay and? It don't be the same when I cook it." He walked over to the microwave. He quickly opened it before it could make the beeping sound. He always do that dumb shit. When I let the microwave beep he be giving me a while attitude. "Okay Blade."

He sat at the table and started eating. He was basically inhaling it. I had to tell him to slow down because I don't know cpr so if he choke then he on his own.

"Yo people know how to cook Forreal. Get me a juice out the fridge."

I was about to get up before I processed his words. "Are you asking me or telling me?" He sucked his teeth. "Apollo may you get me a juice out the fridge?" He asked with a attitude. I should've made him ask again, but I got up to get it anyways sliding it across the table to him.
