Reckless

Icon 108

It took me a few seconds to remember everything that happened last night. Memories of Qwantay's beaten and bloodied body flooded my mind, and the craziest part was that the memory brought a smile to my face. Even though I had only slept a few hours, it was the best sleep I had gotten in a while, it was like... I was completely at peace with everything. I sat up in bed and then quickly jumped up.... I know for a fact Sincere was next to me when I went to bed but now he was gone... I couldn't explain the panic I felt, maybe it was because I wasn't use to this house, but I threw some clothes on and went looking for Sincere, only to find him, Jordan, Legend, and my dad all wrestling in the living room while my mom watched with a worried expression on her face, but they seemed to be having a good time until finally Jordan was declared the winner. I looked at Legend, knowing for a fact I had taken his ass to the hospital a few hours ago but he seemed perfectly fine, he gave me a look that let me know he wanted to talk and there were some things I wanted to discuss with him as well... Then I looked at Sincere who was trying to keep Jordan from attacking and wondered if I should include him in this conversation... a part of me wanted to let him in but I knew Sincere and whatever it was, he'd want to be involved but I needed him safe to look after Jordan... just in case. Legend motioned for me to follow him and the next thing I knew, Sincere and my dad was right behind us.... I should've known.

"I wanna know what the fuck is going on.... a lot of shyt has been happening and I feel like this is only the beginning." My dad said and I glanced at Legend who seemed more interested in whatever message was on his phone. "Now I raised the both of you... I know when y'all are plotting, so the first question is do I even want to know?" He asked.

"Probably not." I said shrugging. "But knowing you... you're still going to want to know." I said and Legend let out an exasperated sigh, when I was younger I was always getting in trouble because of my slick ass comments but I was raised to speak my mind, he should respect that.

"Yeah... you're right, I'm nosy like that. Plus seeing y'all not at each other's throats makes me, and more importantly my wife happy.... and I want to keep it that way. So tell me, what are y'all up to?" My dad asked, again I looked at Legend who was still staring at his phone... I was hoping he'd save me from answering, personally I think he should be the one speaking because he was the one who wanted to talk to me...

"Well.... in a few minutes, me and Icon are heading over to Epic's, he invited us to breakfast, so we're going to over there and chill with him for a bit. I'm sure he's going to want to discuss y'alls living arrangement but other than that...." Legend shrugged and I could tell my dad wasn't buying it. "Sincere, you're more than welcome to join us but we gotta leave here in a few." Legend said and I turned to see Sincere.

"Nah, I appreciate the offer but I got stuff I need to handle. In fact, I should probably start getting ready." Sincere said walking off and for some reason I got annoyed and followed after him. "Don't start... I'm just going with Neisha to the doctors, nothing to worry about but.... I figured this would be something you'd want to do together but if you got stuff to do I understand."

"I do... and if you would've told me earlier I would've made sure that I arranged my schedule so that I could... I still can." I said slightly weirded out by the fact that I had killed someone last night and I still felt nothing... I was having a conversation as if everything was normal, what was wrong with me?

"Nah, go with Legend... no I'm serious, I can handle this solo. But when you're done, we need to talk... I promised Jordan that I'd take him to the park later... he thinks he's slick, he thicks every time we go to the park, he's supposed to get ice cream afterwards." Sincere said shaking his head and I couldn't help but smile.

"And you know you're going to get it... Jordan got you punked. I'm praying that Qwaneisha isn't carrying a girl... she's going to run yo ass.... you might as well remove no from your vocabulary now because she's going to be spoiled rotten." I said and Sincere shrugged.
