Ghetto Harmony

You're Fendi Right?

                                           Fendi

I finally finished unpacking in my room, it took forever. My family just left & now I'm here at this big campus all alone. Although I'm literally about 20 minutes away from my house, this is my first time away from home & being on my own. Most people would probably be a nervous wreck right now but honestly I couldn't be more excited!

I'm from north philly & always dreamed of going to temple since this is where majority of my family graduated from, it seems to be a tradition. Only thing that I am sad about is that all of my high school friends decided to go to school outside of the city & I don't blame them. The city has been getting more dangerous as the days go by so I can understand why they would want a change of scenery, but as for me? Philly is in my bones. I couldn't imagine being anywhere but here.

Plus, I don't have time to be getting pissed off trying to get a "philly cheesesteak" in another state & it tastes nothing like a Philly cheesesteak.

With all of the moving in & unpacking my family & I were doing, I hadn't even noticed that my roommates side of the room was already set up. Clearly he got here before I did since I was never too good with being on time.

My curiosity got the best of me when I saw an open notebook sitting on his bed. I walked over & started reading and then I soon realized that these were song lyrics.

As I'm reading & trying to flow with the melody in my head, the door swings open.

"Fuck is you doing?" Is all I hear as I'm staring at the handsome, chocolate, naked man with a towel wrapped around his waist.

lord have mercy I'm bout to BUST

I try to stop staring at the obvious dick print showing through the towel & meet his scowl... he looks pissed.

                                           Kash

Damn this boy looks good. Short, light skin, and from the jeans he's wearing that's gripping his ass I can tell he's working with a lot back there.

But none of that matters right now because why the fuck is his adorable ass going through my shit?!

"I-I'm sorry. I was just r-reading. I know I shouldn't have b-but"

Aw fuck. I made him nervous. His stuttering & the scared look in his eyes made me soften up a little bit.

"It's cool bro. I just wasn't expecting to see anybody in here when I got out the shower. So I'm guessing you're Fendi right ?"

"Um, yeah how'd you know my name already?"

Dumbass question. Lucky you're adorable.

"I think the name tags that are taped on our door gave it away" I said, with a low chuckle.

He laughs shyly, "oh shit that was a dumb question my bad"

I make my way to my drawer to grab a pair of boxers & im thinking about letting my intrusive thoughts win. They're telling me to just drop my towel & put my boxers on in front of him, but unfortunately I'm not that much of a risk taker. I am curious as to what his reaction would be though. I already caught him staring earlier.

I decide to not act on my thoughts & just decide to put my boxers on under my towel.

"So where are you from?" He asks me.

"I'm from west, grew up in overbrook. You?"

He makes a face that he obviously didn't mean to make & then quickly adjusts himself, but I already noticed it.

"Why you make that face?"

He scratches his head & then says "I've never really gotten along with niggas from west, but hopefully I have a better experience with you. I'm from North"

Hm. I've never really gotten along with North niggas.

"Nah I'm not like most niggas in West & by the way you carry yourself I can tell you're not like most niggas from North"

He squints his eyes in confusion. "What do you mean the way I carry myself?"

I can read his body language & can tell he's growing irritated. Maybe I was wrong.

"Most niggas I know from North don't have manners. You apologized for going through my shit, when most niggas from your way would've tried to start a fight even though they were in the wrong"

He processed what I said & then gave me a genuine laugh. "Yeah you're right about that. Some of them are a lil throwed off"

We shared a 10 minute conversation about our background, our families, what we like & don't like & I honestly couldn't stop staring at his adorable face. He's so tiny too, I just wanna lift lil baby up.

"So you do music?" he breaks me out of another one of my intrusive thoughts with this question.

"Yeah me & my brother do actually. You should come down to open mic with me in about a hour so you can see us sing. I'm gonna need an honest opinion & you seem like a honest person" I shoot a wink & smirk at him after I said that, just to see if I'm picking up on my gaydar correctly.

He puts his head down & blushes.

Yup....GAY

"Yeah I'll go. I didn't really wanna spend my first night in my bed watching power anyway."

That makes me look at him immediately. "Oh shit you watch power too?"

"Yeah! I just started over summer break actually but I'm already caught up to Power Book:2"

All I can see right now is us cuddled up in my bed, binge watching it. But then again, that's my problem. Always thinking about a damn future with somebody before finding out if they're even interested in me.

"Bet. We gonna have to watch it together one of these days."

He sends a smile my way & nods in agreement.

I spend the rest of the time, picking out an outfit to where to open mic.
