Mine For A Moment

Chaptet 3

Kayon

Around the same time, he ran into Micky in the kitchen grabbing a late-night snack.

For a second, Kayon almost turned around and went back to his room before Micky saw him.

But why?

He didn't even have to speak to him.

He waited while Micky grabbed whatever he was getting, then took what he came for and walked into the living room, dropping onto the couch.

Instead of joining him like he usually would, Micky kept walking toward the room.

Kayon reached out and tugged at his shorts.

"Hold on a sec..."

Micky paused, then slowly sat down. "What?"

"What Sean and Lonzo said wasn't right."

"Yet you did nothing."

"Because you can defend yourself, Micky. Damn." Kayon threw his hands up.

"If they were my friends, I would've called them out on their bullshit. But maybe I'm not that important."

Kayon said nothing.

"What did I do, Kayon?"

Please don't let this man start crying. Kayon really didn't have time for another man's emotions.

"If it makes you feel better, I won't have them over anymore when you're here." That was the least he could do.

"All summer it's going to be like this between us?"

"Malani's here..."

Micky stood up. "Fuck, Kayon. She's not the only one I'm here for."

"Mannn, you gotta let that night go."

"Well I can't. It's not that simple for me."

"Nothing even happened."

"You cried in my arms."

Was Micky making it something it wasn't? Possibly.

"You were my friend. I had a moment, and I thanked you for being there for me, but—"

Micky laughed.

"My dick was pressed against your ass and you didn't even flinch."

Kayon shot to his feet and yanked Micky up by his shirt.

"I don't fuck niggas," he snapped. "So whatever you thought, your ass is delusional."

He shoved him back onto the couch and stormed out the door.

He probably shouldn't have said that just to push Kayon's buttons.

And Kayon was probably right about not liking guys. Truthfully, before that night, Micky had never thought it was possible either.

Kayon was as straight as they came.

Micky would honor that. He'd stay out of his way.

He grabbed his snack and went back to his room.

About fifteen minutes later, he heard it.

Crying.

He tried to ignore it. He really did. But the sound kept bleeding through the wall.

With a quiet sigh, he slid down onto the floor.

There was a tiny hole in the wall that looked straight into Kayon's room. Malani just stuffed a wad of tissue inside of it.
