Every year, The Texans rookies are forced to throw a cookout for the veteran players and every year one of their wives/girlfriends/baby moms manages to piss me off. I hated going but it was one of the compromises in our relationship because there have been plenty of award shows that I've dragged Tion to where I knew he was uncomfortable... it's only a couple hours, I told myself. As I finished getting ready Tion moved around the room like a hurricane, I don't know why he's stressing, all he had to do was show up, every time he walked through our bedroom he'd glance in my direction nervously.... I couldn't help but laugh because I knew what he wanted, he's been dropping hints for weeks now and I was definitely inclined to give it to him because it's something I've been wanting for a while now, I just didn't know how to approach the subject. My plan was to simply wait until he was ready and then, I would make my move.... I checked my watch and saw that we were supposed to be walking out the door twenty minutes ago but Tion was still getting ready. He seemed really nervous, unlike himself at all and I knew there was only one thing I could do to make him relax because he was starting to make me nervous.... It only took about three minutes, but by the time I was finished, it seemed like his entire mood had shifted and he was walking around with the biggest smile on his face.
"I promise we won't be here too long, in and out... mingle for a little bit, and then we can dip. I actually wanna go check on TJ, I know Zyshaun said he'd keep an eye on him but Zyshaun is a busy man and I wanna make sure my little troublemaker isn't taking advantage of his current living arrangements." Tion said as we pulled up to his teammate's house.
"It's fine, just know I'm not eating a damn thing... If I can't see what the kitchen looks like I don't trust it...." I said and Tion started laughing, but I was being serious... which is probably why he was laughing. "So tell me about this rookie." I said as we walked up the driveway.
"Think of the cockiest person you know... this dude would make them feel insecure. His name is Majesty... he's.... he's probably one of the best tight ends I've ever seen, including Khalil but his attitude....." Before Tion could even finish, the door opened and a shirtless dude stepped out onto the porch.
"Bout time you got here, it couldn't have been too hard to find this muthafucker I mean look how big it is....." Majesty said waving his arms around and I'll admit his house was nice, but I've seen bigger and better. "Come on, let me introduce you to the fam...." He said leading us inside.
The first thing I noticed was the look of irritation on his mom and aunt's face... though when they saw me their whole demeanor changed and before I could even say 'hello' I was being pulled away while Tion walked off with Majesty. His family seemed great, I met his uncles, brothers, sister, and son who were damn near identical to him and I wasn't sure where the irritation was coming from until she walked in, saw me, and started screaming.... then I felt the mood shift.
"OHMYGOD, OHMYGOD, OHMYGOD!!!!" The girl screamed damn near jumping into my arms. "I AM SUCH A BIG FAN, I HAVE ALL YOUR MUSIC LIKE YOU HAVE NO IDEA!!!" She screamed into my ear.
"Uhh thanks...." I said looking to Majesty's mom for assistance because I didn't want to be rude.
"Why don't you go back into the kitchen, since you insisted on cooking. Remember you didn't want our help so that's where you need to be... stop acting like a fuckin groupie." His mom said and I instantly started putting the pieces together, now I could be wrong but this is my theory... Majesty's mom didn't like the white girl he was currently dating, she probably preferred his son's mom and this was an ongoing issue that, in my opinion, wasn't going to end anytime soon.
"She seems nice...." I said once she walked off. "I should probably get out there with Tion though, it was nice meeting y'all...." I said wondering which direction I should go, Majesty's mom pointed me in the right direction and I started heading in that direction.
