Reckless

Frenchie 62

There was something about being at grandma's house with all your cousins that were unmatched like those were some of the best times of my life... wild ass stories that I hadn't even shared with Micah and probably wouldn't until we tied the knot. It was the summer I turned sixteen and we were all staying at my grandma's house, her four grandsons and three granddaughters; the girls got the big room upstairs while all the boys stayed in the basement... granted there was enough space in this old house for all of us to get our own rooms but we preferred to camp out together and pretty much clown the entire night. Around this time I was still figuring stuff out... me and Micah had been messing around before I came down to New Orleans and the space would offer clarity to what was really going on between us. Despite the distance, we were on the phone all the time, just talking and getting to know each other better than we already did... I had to be careful though, my cousins were openly homophobic, especially Frank.... We were the same age, in fact, he was older than me by a single day but if you asked him it would seem more like he was ten years older than me... I didn't want any drama on this trip so I had to be discreet in my conversations with Micah.

"What you in here talking about Frenchie?" Frank said bustin into the bathroom, this was one of the only places I could get good reception, and the conversation I was having with Micah... it was intense. "Don't think I haven't noticed you sneaking off... who you talkin to?" Frank said trying to grab my phone but I moved out of the way.

"None your fuckin business Frank... man move I gotta use the bathroom." I said trying to push him out of the bathroom while also slipping my phone into my back pocket. Frank slipped away and managed to get behind me. "Come on bro quit playing...."

"Chill... oh...." He said looking down at my screen, it was a new phone so I haven't had the chance to set up a passcode yet so Frank saw the pic that Micah had sent me... he was on his knee showing hole and I.... "So this what you into?" Frank asked with a scowl.... he didn't say anything else he just pushed my phone into my chest and walked off angrily.

A week went by and Frank avoided me like the plague, he was the first one up and the last one back... I had always had a good relationship with Frank (even though he got on my nerves sometimes) but I didn't want to leave my grandma's house without explaining. I was in one of the rooms looking up at the ceiling when the door opened and Frank walked inside, I wasn't sure how this conversation was going to go but he locked the door behind him and stepped further into the room.

"Man look I'm not going to keep hiding who I am... I just..." Before I could finish, Frank kissed me.... mind you this is my BLOOD cousin so y'all will have to understand I freaked the fuck out. "YO WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOIN!?!?!?!?

"Keepin it in the family... its not like you can get pregnant..." Frank said smiling, he must've took my silence for something because he kept talking.... "The reason I got so pissed the other night is because all this summer we could've been duckin off and fuckin... I was mad because I've been here all summer and haven't busted a single nut when I could've been nuttin on your phat ass...." Frank said licking his lips.

"Bruh if you don't BACK...." I said pushing him so hard he fell through the door. "... the fuck up!" I said trying to control my temper "Stay the fuck away from me weirdo..." I said stepping over him and leaving the house.... Now this may sound weird but I thought we could've gotten past this little incident, but Frank could hold a grudge. Three years later Frank decided to come up for a visit, how he knew about me and Micah was a mystery that I've never solved but we were still doing our sneaky link thing and Frank made it a point to go after Micah purposely... I didn't blame Micah for fuckin him but Frank knew exactly what he was doing. I could relate to Legend in that way, now I don't mind Micah getting his nut... but family is a different matter entirely....
