Homecoming Pt. 1

Marcus 19

As I stood in front of Khalil's house telling myself not to punch this crazy bitch in her face all that was going through my head was 'why is she yelling like a mad woman?'. I was never one to back down from anyone but I wasn't about to disrespect Khalil by cussin this bitch out on his front yard. I looked at Lorenzo who was trying to calm Roseline down, because she seemed really upset that I was here. Roseline must have been high or something because just as Khalil turned into the driveway she smacked Lorenzo. Before any of us could react Khalil grabbed Roseline and dragged her off. Me, Devin, and Lorenzo walked in the house and I walked over to Lorenzo to checked his face.

"I'm fine Marcus." He said turning away from me.

"Quit trying to be hard Lorenzo." I said as I gently turned his face towards me, I looked and noticed the outline of Roseline's hand on his face. I put my hand on his cheek and Lorenzo looked me in the eyes and his stare was so intense I couldn't moved.

"I'm fine Marcus." He said smiling at me. Khalil walked in and looked at me and Lorezno, I stepped away from Lorenzo because the look Khalil gave us let me know he was pissed.

"Man what the fuck happened?" Khalil asked pissed.

"I came over here because I forgot my charger and when I came to get it Roseline showed up and said she was waiting on you then she started asking me a whole bunch of questions about why was I there and some other stuff when I told her I left my charger she flipped. Then Lorenzo and Devin showed up and called you. That's all that happened." I said.

"Why didn't you just call?" Khalil asked.

"I literally just told you I left my charger over here so my phone was dead that's why I didn't call Khalil." I said getting an attitude.

"Look I'm sorry about that Mar this bitch Roseline is stressing me out and I'm sorry she slapped you Enzo. The more I think about it the more I realize that maybe I do need and restraining order against her. I mean first she breaks in and cooks me breakfast, now she shows up and starts going crazy on ya'll. I don't need this shyt." Khalil said walking over to me and pulling me into his arms. "You staying the night Marcus?" Khalil asked me but he was looking at Lorenzo. What was that about?

"No I have to head back to my hotel, but I'll see you tomorrow before your party." I said kissing him and walking out to my car wondering what was going on between Khalil and Lorenzo.

The next we were all having a good time at Khalil's party despite what had happened the night before with Roseline. Khalil had disappeared, Marsean and Tonya seemed more into each other than the party and that made me smile, Devin was dancing with some girl, everyone seemed to be having a good time except for Lorenzo who was sitting at the bar looking lonely. I walked over to him and took the beer out his hand and started drinking it.

"Why are you sitting over here looking so depressed." I whispered in his ear.

"I'm just not really feeling the party, I think I'm about to head back to San Antonio." Lorenzo said.

"What are you doing in San Antonio?" I asked him.

"I guess you didn't here, I got trade to the Spurs. So I'll be living in San Antonio now, I got a couple days to find a house and stuff then I'll be hitting the road with them." Lorenzo said looking me in the eyes with the same intensity as last night.

"Umm have you seen Khalil?" I asked, mananging to break away from his gaze.

"Yeah umm..... he went to get everything ready for his big announement, but I...... Marcus I really need to tell you something." Lorenzo said looking nervous.

"Okay what's going on Lorenzo?" I asked. Before he could speak Khalil popped up and told me he needed me to come with him. "We'll talk later okay?" I said as Khalil pulled me away. We ended up in a corner of the room and Khalil wasted no time kissing me. "Damn hello to you too." I said kissing him back.

"My bad Marrr...... I'ma lil tipsyyy." Khalil said slurring his words.

"Are you alright Khalil?" I asked.

"Yeeaahh, I'm gooodd Marrcuss." He said trying to kiss me again.

"Khalil let's go sit down." I said pulling him to a chair and forcing him to sit in it. "Kahlil what's going on the party just started and you're already drunk." I asked.

"I said I'm good Marcus, it's justtt I neededed a few shotsss to deal with that bitch....." He said pointing into the crowd.

"What bitch?" I asked looking into the crowd trying to find who he was talking about. Then I saw her Roseline was standing by the bar flirting with the bartender. "What is she doing here Khalil?" I asked pissed.

"I told them not to let her in, but she's crafty like a foxxxx." Khalil said. "But I'm not going to let her ruin my night."

"KHALIL THERE YOU ARE!!!!" Roseline yelled as she made her wayb through the crowd over to me and Khalil. "Hello Argus." She said waving at me.

"Roseline why are you here?" Khalil said looking at her pissed.

"What? I couldn't come and wish you a happy birthday? Besides I have a gift for you...." Roseline said turning and walking away.

"Khalil you need to get her the fuck outta here." I said getting pissed. Before Khalil could respond Roseline returned with some dude who looked familiar but I couldn't place his face.

"Khalil this is my cousin Javier, Javi this is Khalil......" Roseline said smiling, I knew instantly that they were up to no good. The more I looked at him, the more frustrated I got because I knew I seen him somewhere before.

"You never called me sexy." Javier said smiling at me and instantly I remembered he was the guy that gave me his number at IHOP.

"You know him Javi?" Roseline asked with an attitude.

"Yeah he's the sexy dude I saw at IHOP with Khalil. I'm kinda hurt that you didn't use my number." Javier said.

"KHALIL WHY WERE YOU AND ARGUS AT IHOP TOGETHER?!" Roseline yelled causing a scene, some of the people start looking at us and I noticed Tonya had wrapped her hair in a ponytail and was pulling a pair of tennis shoes out her purse.

"You want the truth Rose? Aight I'll tell you Marcus and me well, let's just say Marcus and me are together." Khalil said smiling at me. Roseline looked from me and Khalil and before either one of us could respond Javier jumped on top of Khalil and started punching him. Roseline started to come for me but Tonya punched Roseline dead in her mouth dropping her to the floor. I started to help Khalil but Lorenzo and Devin had already jumped in and started to beat the fuck out of Javier. Then all hell broke loose.
