The sun was shining when I left Antrell's hotel room, I was sore as fuck but the good kind of sore... As I've stated information was easy to get when you got good dick and pillow talk flows easier after a good fuck down. Antrell spilled all his secrets, not just his, but what he's gathered about Duron as well.... let me just add that 'tops' had the best ass, Antrell may claim to be a top but for the right nigga he turned that ass around and let a real nigga take control. I don't want y'all thinking that this trip was strictly about pleasure, I had multiple things going on at once and this seemed like the easiest... though I was a little disappointed that Antrell didn't know anything about the fire. Honestly, I wasn't sure why I cared so much. Maybe because I saw a lot of myself in Duron and wanted to see him do good, maybe because of Samson's close proximity to the situation and I didn't want my baby boy getting caught up in drama that wasn't his, or maybe it was because of Diante.... I couldn't explain my attachment to him but he definitely had a hold on me that no other person had, that hold went beyond sex... I really couldn't explain it. I pulled up to IHop and noticed Duron sitting with Elijah, DJ, and De'Vaughn, despite everything they seemed pretty happy and I hated that I was about to ruin their morning but this couldn't wait and I needed Duron to see just how much danger he and Elijah were really in.
"Table for two please...." I said smiling at the pretty white girl who was in the process of soaking her panties just from my smile. She led me to a table not too far from where Duron was sitting and our eyes met but I didn't acknowledge him, I didn't want to be too obvious. My waitress was even sexier and after I finished placing my order she walked off after making a show of adjusting her work pants so I could see she was wearing a thong, I laughed to myself, if only she knew how uninterested I was.
"The least you could do is pay for our meal... Elijah is pissed that you're here and you just cost me some sloppy, so can you please make this quick?" Duron asked sitting across from me. He'd get over it once he figured out what I had to say.
"Antrell didn't have anything to do with the fire, that much I can promise... However, he does have other motives for lurking around. He wants Elijah... but not in the way you think, see his sole purpose for being here is to make money, and one way he's doing that is by causing issues in y'alls relationship... the fire just so happens to be a lucky accident." I said looking into his eyes.
"Okay, so what's his motive? I mean they met ONCE in North Carolina... and nothing happened, it's just a coincidence that we were supposed to work together on some music. Why would someone want to fuck with me and Elijah?" Duron asked.
"Genesis...." I said and I noticed the hairs on his arms stand up and his jawline tighten. "It all comes back to Genesis... and while Elijah's brother may have tempered his sister's rage, Genesis still has family, more specifically cousins who want blood... though I still don't think they had anything to do with the fire." I said and I could tell Duron was thinking hard.
"Okay, so if I'm understanding you correctly... I got Antrell trying to steal Elijah, Genesis's cousin out for revenge, an ex who is threatening to release a sex tape we made almost a year ago... not that I have anything to be ashamed about." Duron said smirking. "Someone who burned down my house, someone killed my dad, my crazy ass brother doing God knows what... Maybe I need to get my family out of Ohio, this shyt is too damn much... I don't wanna put my family at risk Elijah, my sons... and the baby we got on the way.... it's too much."
"Give me 72 hours to figure out who is responsible for the fire. You don't gotta worry about Antrell, I got him pretty much handled... as for that other stuff, you're strong enough to weather this storm." I said trying to put him at ease. Again, I couldn't explain why I was so invested but I wanted to help....
"Aight... let me get back to my family, Elijah is getting impatient." Duron said getting up and walking off. I finished my meal and paid for there's before walking out, 72 hours wasn't a lot of time but there was one person I figured could point me in the right direction.
