"Babe, I'm sorry." I said as I embrace him in a hug. He didn't cry nor get angry; Devon just laid on my chest while I rub his back. For the red of the night Devon kept his head on my chest while we slept.

I soon woke up to the sound of shuffling. I looked at the clock and noticed it was 3a.m. I slowly sat up and watch as Devon sitting on the edge of the bed with his head in his hand, taping his foot on the floor and I'm guessing he has tears streaming down his face. I don't blame him; I would be in my own pool of tears if someone called me saying my mother died.

I slowly crawled over to him "Devon." I said just in case if I touch him he'll know it's me. I slowly put my hands on his forearms and he immediately wrapped his self around my body while he sobbed. This is my first time seeing a grown man cry, so him doing this is very foreign.
I rubbed his back in a comfort way as he cried in a manly way in my arms until we both fell asleep.

The ride home was silent, we didn't even had the radio on because we wasn't in the mood for music. We decided to just go over Devon house so his uncle would have extra support. Tyrese and Devon mother was like two peas in a pod growing up; considering that they're twins. From the stories I heard when they was young they would have each other's back no mater what the situation, location nor who was right or wrong. Even through the years of Devon father death, Devon mother finding out she had lung cancer and Devon getting bullied at his last school because he was gay; Tyrese was there, by their sides.
I just take my hat off to him.

"Devon."
He parked the car, took the keys out the ignition and taking off his seat belt before looking at me "Yes?"
I sighed and grabbed his hand "Im always here for you. And I'm sorry I didn't say it back."
He took a deep breath "Its fine."
"Devon, just understand that I care for you and will do anything for you. You're the first ever boyfriend that was always there for me, always ask questions about my well being and ask what's wrong even when I'm okay."

Now that I'm thinking; all those things that I said just made my heart flutter. It made me pull towards him more. I don't know what it is, only because I never felt this before from Tony nor Anthony. Is it Lust? My care for him? Or Love? I don't know. It's very foreign to me, but I do have to think back when every time when we have our disagreements I always come back because I can't be without him.
Because I love him..

"Devon, what I'm trying to say is... I love you."
He sighed "William you don't have to say back, I understand that you're not ready."
I shook my head "I mean it Devon. You're the first guy that made me feel this way. It's something about you that pulling me in, that made me fall over hills for."
We looked into each other eyes until he pulled me in for a long passionate kiss.
He pulled away with a smile "I love you too."
I smiled back "Let's go inside."
He unlocked the car door and I got out first and he followed.

When we walked inside the house there was silence. Nothing out of the ordinary but the smell of cooking in the kitchen. We walked in the kitchen to see Tyrese drinking a beer and cooking hamburgers. "Sup unc." Devon greeted.
Tyrese turned around and turned off the stove so he can give Devon a man hug manly guys do.
I walked in the living to give them some space to just talk and have there time. I sat in the couch and picked up the photo book on the coffee table.

I looked at the title reading 'Memories' in cursive and a picture of a 11 year old Devon, his mother, Tyrese and another man looking just like Devon; I'm assuming it's his father. I opened the book and the first picture that showed is their wedding then the one under it is Devon a week old, fresh out the hospital.

I smiled at more pictures before putting it back and watched as Tyrese walked in the living room and Devon walking upstairs. "How are you feeling?" I asked.
"Still processing but getting stronger as the days go by."
I nod "She was a good woman."
"Yeah. She use to always preach bout making good decisions even when we was younger. She was so funny."
We chuckled and talked about Tyler; Devon mother a little more until Devon came back down stairs with a shoe box.

He opened it and showed a bunch of cash, some small bags of weed and small paper. "I'll be in the kitchen."
Devon nod "Okay."
"You don't smoke?" Tyrese asked.
I shook my head "I have really bad asthma."
"Oh okay. There's some hamburgers in the stove."
I nod "Thank you." I got up and walked into the kitchen to just seat at the island and call my mom to tell her the bad news.

My mother and Tyra met before at dinner I cooked myself; which was good. Both of them are the same person basically, it's just Tyra is more discreet about her behind closed doors life than my mom when she talks to me.

"Aww, is Devon doing okay?" My mother said.
"He's processing."
"Wow. Tell Devon and Tyrese that they can come to dinner any time. I would love to cook for them."
"I will. I gotta call you back mom."
"Okay tell them I said hi and that I'm here for Devon."
"Okay, I'll be late coming home."
"Okay. Bye"
"Bye." I hung up the phone and put in my back pocket as Devon wrap his arms around me and kiss my neck.
"Come upstairs." he whispered in my ear.
I looked in the living room and saw the Tyrese was still smoking.

"Let's not do that today." I said as I turned around. He smelt like straight up weed and his eyes was red. He smiled down at me "I love you."
"I love you too." he kissed my lips.
I pulled away "I'm guessing your hunger."
He chuckled "You guessed right." he touched the end of my nose before laughing.
"Damn, what shit are you smoking?"
"The good stuff." he sat in the bar stool and leaned on the counter while waiting for his burger.
I made him and Tyrese a cheese burger because I know he's hungry to. I set his plate in front of him and took Tyrese plate to the living room while holding my breath so I won't cough. I set his food on the coffee table and immediately walked upstairs to get away from all the smoke.

I sat in Devon room for awhile until Devon walked in. He sat next to me and laid his head on my shoulder "I miss her." he comments.
"I know baby, but she'll still be here." I kiss his forehead.
He sighed "Thank you."
"For?"
"For being in my life." he kissed my cheek.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
