It feels like I've been working nonstop. Between all my classes, organizing events, planning our Spring Break trip, trying to keep Cassius satisfied, and the shyt I overheard between Rome and Byron, and I haven't even gotten to all the shyt involving Jerian... it was just a lot. Even tonight we had a meeting and I was barely able to keep my eyes open, but I would have to power through it and hopefully I'd be able to get some sleep this weekend (even though I knew the possibility of that happening was extremely low). I checked my phone to see if my contact from campus security had responded to my text, but he hadn't even though it was very clear that he had read the message a few days ago.... That shyt irritated my soul and I was tempted to call and cuss his ass out, but I knew talking to him... hearing his voice... that would only lead to trouble, nah it was best to talk to him in a public setting, somewhere that he wouldn't be tempted to show his ass and I wouldn't be tempted to fall into old habits... who am I kidding? Divine didn't give a fuck if we were in public or not, he was just.... The door to the meeting room opened and Cassius walked in carrying two boxes of Chick-fil-A and sat them on the table, he turned to me and smiled, before walking over to me and wrapping his arms around my waist.
"You look stressed.... how about after the meeting we go back to my place, I'll light a bunch of candles, put on my 90s R&B playlist, and give you one night to just relax. Kaevon, you've been moving non-stop since the break, and at some point, you need to just stop and take some time for yourself." Cassius said rubbing my cheek.
"I could've sworn I was relaxing earlier when your tongue was in my..... Something wrong?" I asked noticing the look in his eyes.
"Truthfully? It didn't seem like you were enjoying it, almost as if you were distracted... usually when I'm eating your ass your legs are shaking uncontrollably, but lately, it just seems like your mind is somewhere else." Cassius said.
"There's so much going on and my boys need me... everyone has stuff going on and I'm usually the one they come to with their issues.... They're my brothers and I gotta help them and then there's my actual brother who.... he's a mess right now, even if he chooses to ignore it." I said letting out a low sigh. "Plus all the events I'm working on and....." Cassius pulled me aggressively by my waist and started kissing me.
"You need to make time for YOU. While you're carrying everyone else's burdens and issues, whose looking out for you? If you can't see that you're overwhelmed then it's my job as you man to help you and get you to take a second... actually with me it's more like a couple of hours but you get what I'm trying to say, you need to relax so this weekend that's exactly what you're going to do. I promise a stress-free weekend." Cassius said smiling but in the back of my mind, I was thinking about all the stuff I had to get done and how I wouldn't be able to focus on relaxing because my mind would be a million other places, before I could protest... or submit, the door opened and Guiseppe walked in singing loudly.
♪Gobble me, swallow me, drip down the side of me. Quick, jump out 'fore you let it get inside of me. I tell him where to put it, never tell him where I'm 'bout to be I run down on him 'fore I have a nigga running me. Talk yo' shit, bite your lip ask for a car while you ride that dick. You ain't never gotta fuck him for a thing he already made his mind up 'fore he came♪ Guiseppe sang loudly. "Oh am I interrupting something?" He asked and I was wondering what he was referring to until he glanced down and I realized that the sweats I was wearing showed where my mind was...
"Nah we were just.... It doesn't matter." I said as more people started pouring into the room including Jerian and his friend Virgil, I was actually surprised Virgil was here but the more the merrier I guess; once everyone had arrived the argument started.
"I'm just saying if I were to have a SON I wouldn't want him raised by a gay dad." This girl said with a shrug. "Especially if his dad is fem... I don't need my son becoming a soft ass nigga, switchin and shyt."
