Homecoming Pt. 1

Legacy 37

I walked around my house waiting for Cam to get here so we could meet his brothers and Lorenzo at the airport. I couldn't wait to see him again that dude had been on my mind since I first seen him at Cam's house, even when we were in Texas I couldn't stop staring at him he was so damn sexy. I went to Liberty's room to see if she needed help packing since she was going back to school tomorrow, I got to her room and heard her in there crying, I opened the door and saw her sitting on her bed holding a onesie with the letter's CJ on it. I walked over and put my arm around her and let her cry.

"I didn't want you to see me like this." She said laughing as wiped her face laughing.

"It's okay Lib I know how excited you were about having a baby and we were all fucked up when CJ didn't make it." I said holding her.

"Why hasn't Cam cried or grieved or anything? He was just as excited as I was....... and when we lost him, Cam just moved on like CJ never existed." Liberty said crying.

"Sis you know how Cam is, he doesn't like to live in the past, he's always looking ahead. But I know Cam was fucked up over it, he was just trying to be strong for you." I said. We sat there for five minutes just holding each other when Cam texted me he was outside. "I'm about to go sis, but I'll tell Cam to stop by before you leave so ya'll can talk about it." I said kissing the side of her head and walking out to meet Cam, I walked out to his car and jumped in.

"Damn what we're you doing fixing your tampon?" Cam said laughing I just smiled and shook my head. "What's wrong with you? Usually you would have a lame comeback about my name."

"Cam do you ever think about CJ?" I asked as the city passed us by. Cam got quiet and kept looking ahead. "Cam?"

"Nah...... I try not to, because if I do, then I'll start crying and I'm not with all that crying shyt." Cam said quietly.

"Well Lib is starting to think you don't care, that ya'll lost the baby." I said.

"I care but there is nothing I can do about it now it's been a year now, we need to move on all of us." Cam said, I could tell he was getting pissed but I wasn't about to drop it.

"You need to quit trying to be hard and show some emotion, Liberty is leaving tomorrow do you really want her to leave thinking you don't care?" I asked.

"We're here." Cam said pulling into the parking garage. I looked at him and shook my head, and I got out the car noticing Cam was still in there.

"You coming?" I asked. Cam didn't respond he just put his finger up telling me to give him a second after waiting a couple of minutes he finally got out the car wiping his face.

"Yeah let's go see your boo Lorenzo." He said smiling, I nodded my head noticing how red his eyes were.

We went inside the airport and waited for them to show up, the first people I noticed were Devin and the dark skinned dude that was at the party when we showed up in Texas, they walked close together and I knew instantly that they were in a relationship. The next two were Khalil and some pretty little dark skinned dude, they didn't even hid the fact that they were clearly in love, every other step Khalil would pull the dude close and whisper something in his ear making the dude smile harder with each word.  Finally he walked down the stairs looking better than I remembered, DAMN he looked good in his white button down and tan pants.

"Dude you're too damn black to be blushing like that." Cam said quietly. I smiled as the group walked up on us. "What's up Devin, you must be Khalil you're shorter than you look on T.V." Cam said looking Khalil up and down.

"Yeah I pictured you looking better, but I guess we all couldn't get the good Cunningham genes right Dev." Khalil said smiling, Cam and Khalil stood looking at each other sizing each other up. The dark skinned dude whispered something in Khalil's ear and he rolled his green eyes trying not to smile. "But I'm being rude this is my baby Marcus, you already met Enzo, Devin, and Nico. Who's your friend." He said looking at me.

"His name is Legacy." Lorenzo said smiling at me. My heart started thundering in my chest at his smile.

"Where's Kadeem?" Khalil asked looking around.

"He's at work right now but he'll be meeting us for dinner with my mom and sisters." Cam said coldly.

"Typical, never where he's supposed to be. But it's cool we're going to get the rentals, ya'll can wait here until we're done it shouldn't take to long." Khalil said smirking as he started walking away with Lorenzo and Marcus.

"That nigga seems like an asshole." Cam said looking at Khalil's back.

"Nah Khalil's cool he just has a lot of resent towards our dad." Devin said. They both stood there not sure what to say to each other finally I couldn't take the awkward silence anymore.

"So do are ya'll doing tomorrow night?" I asked.

"I'm not sure yet probably just gonna chill at the hotel, Khalil, Marcus and Enzo are all going out." Nico said looking at Devin. I looked at Cam and he smiled as we read each others mind.

"Man that's boring as fuck, how about ya'll come with us there's a party going on tomorrow and I think ya'll would enjoy it." I said smiling.

"Yeah count us in." Devin said back.

Later that night I drove with Cam to dinner because he was staying over my house and we were going to drive back together at least that was my reasoning for wanting to go the truth is I wanted to see Lorenzo again. He all sat down waiting for them to show up, Cam kept looking at his watch I could tell he was ready to go see Liberty before she left, Kadeem looked nervous, Carmen Cam's mom kept brushing imaginary lent off of her jacket, Cadence Cam's sister was on her phone talking away about a bunch of teenage girl stuff, and his baby sister Carly was sleep in her car seat. They walked in and spotted us and once again my heart started beating a mile and minute looking at Lorenzo. They came to the table and sat down, if there was any tension I couldn't feel it because I was too focused on Lorenzo.

"Khalil.........." Kadeem said looking at his oldest son. Khalil just looked at him his face completely neutral. "Devin damn it's good to see you both together." He said smiling.

"Why'd you leave us?" Khalil said getting straight to the point. The table got quite and Lorenzo cleared his throat.

"Marcus, Nico, Legacy I think we should give them some privacy. Khalil you can order for us, text me when you're ready for us to come back in." Lorenzo said standing up. Nico and Marcus both stood up and looked at me, I stood up to and walked out to the patio leaving them in there to sort through their family issues. I was walking behind Lorenzo and the smell of his cologne was making me hard as fuck. Marcus went to  a chair in the corner and got on his phone and Nico pulled out a Black and Mild leaving me and Lorenzo alone..... I had to say something.

"So...... you look really nice." I said stupidly. Lorenzo looked at me and smiled.

"Little dude are you flirting with me? How old are like 17?" He said still smiling, GOD this nigga had a sexy smile.

"Nah..... I mean yeah....... maybe and I'm 18 I'll be 19 in July." I said nervously, damn this is crazy I've never let any dude make me nervous  and he says seven words and it throws me off my game completely.

"Look it's cool if you have a crush on me, I kinda figured you did by the way you've been staring at me...... But Legacy you are way too young for me." Lorenzo said, my ego deflated but then he smiled. "Maybe when you're outta high school we can hang out.... as friends."

"I'm going to hold you to that Lorenzo...." I said smiling.

"You know my friends call me Enzo." He said still smiling.

"Well I'm your special friend so I'm going to call you Lorenzo." I said feeling my ego starting to swell again. He started to say something but stopped. "Am I making you nervous?" I asked walking close to him.

"Nah Little dude you aren't." He said stepping closer to me. I was so close I could kiss him if I wanted.We stood there looking in each others eyes, yeah I really wanted to kiss him, then he phone start ringing. "I gotta take this." He said walking away, maybe I had a better chance than I thought.
