If he wanted to talk to my father it's cool but I told him I wanted to be the one to tell him first. Jovonnie wasn't to happy about my brother coming over because we trying to stay anonymous. He let me invite him over though so we both can get to know him.We cleaned up and got snacks ready because it was going to be a pool night. Heard the door bell cause we let him in at the gate so I went to answer it with Jovonnie behind me.

RJ was along with a white girl and a white boy. The white boy looked str8 at Jovonnie then he said his name. I thought how do he know Jo? I'm confused!

Blaze: How do you know Jo? I looked on with a confused face.

Ian: We got a little history is all but Jo how you been man long time no here from or see. You look good bro and you living. How do you too know each other?

RJ: Small world! Well since you two already know each other's. this my girl Erica so can we come in now?

Blaze: Come inside my bad then I looked at Jo as I told him i want see him in the room. I just want to know how he know this dude because to me he suppose to be a Virgin. He follow me in the nearest guest room then he said

Jovonnie: Babe I know you a little curious but it's not what you think at all. We never was sexually involved or anything like that he just was gôt up in a fucked up situation back then and I saved him.

Blaze: Like what jo? I find out you fucked him and you lie to me we going have a problems. I'd can't trust you no more and be hurt because what I've been through. He gripped me then he pulled me to him with one arm.

Jovonnie: Blay I wouldn't lie to you from day one our relationship was transparent and that what I love about us. I would never lie to you and yes I know you been through alot . It's me and you remember?

Blaze: Yea I remember I said as I started to calm down because I know he wouldn't lie to me I just was tripping. I'm sorry but it just caught me off guard.

Jovonnie: if you really want to know. He use to date Stacey and it got really bad one day I came home Stacey was beating his ass. Stacy beat his ass an let his boys run train on him and I stopped it before it got to out of hand. I let him stay with a friend to hide from Stacey. Stacey thought I was fucking him and that's why when I really showed interest in you Stacey flipped out. When I first saw you I just know I couldn't let you go through the same thing thats why I stepped in .Then shit happen when I fall for you so I had to take care of Stacey to make sure you was safe. Believe what we have together is genuine I loved you when you had nothing and Im still in love with you now. Just remember that I don't want when the time comes you telling me all type shit when you know what we have Is real. Don't let your past hurt the beautiful things we can have in the future.

Blaze: Ok jo. I know what we have is real I never deny that because you see the fucked up situation we found each other in. I'm sorry for thinking something though, because this relationship new. I just saw you was in the mix and I got territorial. You mine and all mine!

Jovonnie: I know baby give me kiss man and stop thinking like that. You know I wouldn't do nothing to hurt you. We just started kissing passionately and I heard RJ calling my name asking if I was ok. I just laugh because he was then on brother duty. Yea bro we good wee coming out now help yourself to some snacks in the kitchens.

Now that I knew a little history on Ian I felt at ease. I didn't mean to strike out I just had to know so I wouldn't look like a fool. Roc was just there chatting up a storm making my brother feel at home. Jo light the grill out back and we all just started chilling.

RJ: Hey bro can we have a little one on one. I want get to know you more man if that's ok.

Blaze: No problem. We just went off to the side siting side by side in the pool lounge chairs. I just sat there looking at how much we look alike I was still amazed by that.

RJ: Im still glad to have you as a brother blaze. So where have you been living all this time. Here?

Blaze: I was living with my mom and brothers until I got kicked out then I got into some shit. We live here now because Jo and I lived with a nigga named Stacey.

RJ: Oh that dude that got gun down a few weeks ago. I saw it on the news and my father was talking about it. Apparently Stacey know a lot of people in high places and my father just told me about how it was good because some drug smuggling can stop. He said Stacey was a horrible person. How's you get involved with him? I also heard Ian mention him a few times but I never got the back story behind hoe he knew him.

Blaze: you want me to keep it straight 100 hundred with you. No fliter?

RJ: No filter bro! Remember we getting to know each other so tell me anything.

Blaze: Long story short I use to deal drugs for him. I had no money bro and my mom wasn't being a mother to me. I got kicked out and he captured me. He raped me and even worst made me sell dick. Jo ran shit with him but he saved me. When I said that I looked at him he hîs tearing up.

RJ: Bro Im so sorry that you been through all of that. You must've felt so alone as he just came over and hugged me. I felt loved and I just hugged him back cause it was comforting. I guess that's why you and Jovonnie so close.

Blaze: Yea. Bro he saved me. He always saying we saved each other but if he wasn't there I don't think I'll be here right now. I looked over at them playing cards over by the table as Jo was smiling at me. I just blushed but didn't make it obvious to my brother that we were giving each other faces. So RJ tell me more about your life

RJ: Well I'm more athletic in school then smart. I mean I'm not dumb I get good grades but it's not the best grades like I'll get a few C's. I play basketball and want to play college ball.

Blaze: thens you should! what's stopping you? I think that's doper hat you want do college ball. Go off and head to school. A basketball star brother and when you in the NBA don't forget me.

RJ: That's all fine and Im sure I would've been a big star like I am in high school. I just don't see it happening right now

Blaze: I don't get it bro. You young now it's the time to strike the iron while it's hot. You ok?

RJ: My girl pregnant as he held his head down.

Blaze: Wow bro I mean congrats

RJ: We already been to the doctor. She going on two months and she seems excited but she don't understand how scared I am. I am so scared bro Im not ready to be a father. I had dreams to be off to college trying to crack the NBA. She pregnant so I got to stay here and work.

Blaze: Wow bro but congratulation! I mean it shouldn't be that bad though and you can still go off. I'm sure dad can help out with the kid that way you can still go off.

RJ: He doesn't knows about it and I think he going to have a fit because that's the first thing he told me when I introduced her to them. I don't know how it happened I was so careful.

Blaze: shit happens bro but I ain't mean to say this but you handsome, strong and parents got money some girls see that as they ticket out of a slumb. Just sit down one day and think long and hard about ok. You know who I am now and where I live. I'm here for you Ricky

RJ: Ricky? I guess you don't like Rick Junior he said with a frown on his face.

Blaze: Naw I just think I should give you your own identity. Own little nick name.Aint that's what brothers do then I started to laugh. He just laughed and we talked most of the night together. We just chilled away from everyone talking.

RJ: I think I should call you laze since everything else is already taken. I know we just met but I love you my brother. We blood so that's instant love right from me.

Blaze: I love too man! I just glad we bonded in a good way because I'm tired of fighting siblings. So how you and the white boy became friends. I know he is your girl friend but you too same close as well.

RJ: Yea my girl best friend and I couldn't be like nigga stay away. I use to think they fucking cause he ain't really flamboyant he masculine. I use to think she liked him until I approach him about it . He admitted to me and told me he was gay. He told me I didn't have to worry about nothing. He looked back then started to laugh as he said your friend Jovonnie seem to be fond of him though. I looked over and the both of them were just laughing and giggling up with each other.
