Lucky Number Seven

Izayah 39

To say Seven was pissed was a complete understatement. This nigga was livid, he had been yelling and ranting for the past hour. Me, Tion, and Iran just stood there and watched not saying anything giving this nigga time to calm down but he was on a roll, actually it was quite impressive. This nigga hadn't stop talking since I told him what Tyson told me, truthfully this shit was blowing my mind that was some creative ass shit that they came up with. Lie to somebody an make them think they did something happened that they never did, after they get sloppy drunk, then take pictures to really make them believe it. Seven was still pacing around the room, putting his feelings out there. Tion sat in the corner like he was deep in thought, Iran watched Seven pace like he was waiting for Seven to burn a hole in the floor. Seven stopped in front of their mantle with all their pictures and sighed.

"Damn nigga you done?" Iran asked. Seven didn't answer he just stood there looking at nothing. Iran looked at me then Tion. I just shrugged because I didn't know what to say, Tion still deep in thought didn't say anything.

"Ayy Zay are you sure?" Seven asked me. This was my chance to start putting the seeds of doubt in Seven's head. I needed to be absolutely convincing, I put on my most serious face and stood up, I walked over to him and put my hand on his shoulder.

"Yeah man I heard this from Tyson's own mouth, we were bout to go get some food and shit and he started crying telling me how he fucked up bad by not trusting you, and believing his parents after they lied to him so many times before. He told me how when you saw him in the mall with his brother he wanted to take you back right then, but the thoughts of you in somebodies else arms made him scared. He told me how when you left him standing on your porch when he tried to get you back and you told him you didn't want him, he felt like shit but he deserved it." Seven looked as though he was fighting back tears so I went in for the kill. "Seven look I know we haven't known each other long but even I can tell Tyson really loves and misses you. Maybe you should at least talk to dude."

"You know Zay is right Seven maybe you should at least talk to him, I mean I know you and Gabriel been kicking it and shit but...... maybe you need to close this door before you open another one. " Iran said. I looked at my twin and smiled he didn't know it but what he just said was really helping me out.

"Man I don't even know what to say to Tyson, last time I talk to him I kinda played him." Seven said.

"Look ya'll both been saying some fucked up shit to each other, ya'll just need to sit down and a nice dinner and talk no holds barred. Matter fact I'ma pay for it, what more could you ask for you get to talk to Tyson plus dinner at McDonald's." I said.

"Maybe your right. Look call Tyson and set it up, I'ma call Gab and cancel our plans for tonight." Seven pulled out his phone the same time I did. But before either one of us could dial the number Tion finally spoke.

"Seven, Zay wait just one second I gotta say something." Everybody in the room froze, this nigga Tion was a man a few words but when this nigga talked everybody just listened to him. "Look Seven this is all happening way too fast just chill out and think for a second. Dallas and Tyson's dad played everybody like idiots but they weren't they only ones. Before you and Tyson talk you need to get the facts from all people involved. Now look you already know Tyson's dad is going to play dumb, so there are two other people that we need to talk to before you and Tyson talk."

"Two?" Seven asked confused hell I was just as confused as Seven and Iran. We all were looking at Tion waiting for him to explain further.

"Seven come on think about there are only two people who knows what really happened in that room and no hard feelings but you're not one of them, you were way too drunk to even remember anything."

"You talking bout Dallas and Raymond?" Seven asked.

"Of course look you haven't said shit to Raymond since that morning, but maybe you need to talk to him and see what really happened, don't worry about Dallas because I already know ya'll going to end up fighting, this situation requires a little more finesse, me and Izayah will talk to him, while you talk to Raymond."

"Wait why do I have to go?" I asked looking at Tion. Tion gave me a look that told me to shut the fuck up, by no means am I scared of any nigga but Tion had the aura to him that said he wasn't the one to fuck with.

"So Captain Tion what job do you have for me." Iran asked smiling.

"Your job is to wait here for my sister and niece and take care of your family. Now anymore stupid ass questions?" I had one but before I could talk a quiet knock came at the door. We all looked at it and none of us move.

"I guess I'll get it." I said getting up and walking to the door, when I opened it my heart skipped a beat. I swear this nigga reminded me of Aaron. Gabriel was standing there looking sexy ass fuck .

"Umm is Seven here?" He asked quietly. I couldn't speak, I couldn't take my eyes off of him either.

"Yeah in here, damn Zay move out the way and let him in." I moved and let him pass as he did he left the smell of cocoa butter lingering behind. I turned and watched him give Seven hug and it wasn't one of those church hugs either them niggas were pelvis to pelvis. When they finally pulled away from each other Seven had a weird look in his eyes.

"Seven we still on for tonight right?" Gabriel asked.

"Umm I was just about to call you look something came up that, I really have to handle but I really do wanna chill with you, but I have to finish this."

"Nah it's coo I understand." Gabriel said a little disappointed. Seven heard it to he looked Gabriel in the eyes and caressed Gabriel's face with the back of his hand.

"Ayy Baby Bro why don't you take Gabriel with you, I mean he could be your support plus if thing's get out hand." Iran said.

"Yeah that's sounds like a great idea." Tion added. I was starting to get really pissed, these niggas were fucking everything up.

"What are ya'll talking about?" Gabriel asked.

"Gab remember that shit that happened with me and Ty." Gabriel nodded. "Well it may not have happened. I going to talk to Raymond and try to get the truth outta him, I would really, really like for you to come with me." I started to say a silent prayer in my head hoping that Gabriel said no, hoping he told Seven, Tion, and Iran to go to hell.

"Okay I'll come but if he try anything I might just beat his ass I can't stand him anyway." FUCK, I thought. Seven started smiling and so did Gabriel.

"Seven when do you want me to set up your date with Tyson?" I asked innocently. Everybody in the room stopped and looked at me, but I didn't give a fuck.

"After I talk to Raymond and Tion talks to Dallas we'll compare what they tell us and then you can set it up, and it's not a date we just need to clear the air between us."

"Aight look I got shit to do so just hit me up whenever let me know how it goes on both ends." I walked around the room dapped everybody up until I got to Gabriel. I looked in his eyes and smiled and just walked away. This was the start of a very interesting game.
