Homecoming Pt. 1

Khalil 46

"Khalil there was to be a connection between them, you just told me that Marcus thought he was being followed by a black Mustang, and I'm telling you Xavier drives a black mustang. And what are the chances of my ex and your old fuck buddy becoming a couple? Then to top it off Javier and Xavier came up to me and Marcus just one day after the other. All I'm saying is we need to reconsider doing this interview at least until we know what their true motives are." Enzo said.

"Which is exactly why ya'll have to do the interview. If you guys back out and they are working with Roseline then they'll get suspicious. In fact I think ya'll need to get closer to them." Marcus said.

"You mean use our connections to Brian and Xavier? Like flirt with them?" I asked confused.

"No not flirting that would be too obvious, just get close to them Lorenzo you used to date Xavier, use that to get inside of his head and baby you and Brian have history make him remember that. So far everything we've been doing is defensive we need to play offense." Marcus said.

"He's got a point Khalil we need to find out why they're doing this." Enzo said, I wasn't feeling Marcus's plan in slightest, and the fact that Enzo agreed with him pissed me off even more.

"Look I'm not feeling this, I say we just stay away from them. They're all crazy and I've had enough crazy to last me a lifetime." I said.

"Khalil they won't stop until they achieve whatever there goal is. I think we should do it, unless you can come up with something better." Enzo said staring at me after an intense stare down between us my phone started ringing.

"Devin's calling, I need to take this." I said walking into another room. "What's up little bro." I said.

"Khalil I'm about to kill this bitch." Devin said fuming.

"Wait calm down and tell me what's going on." I said, and he told me everything that Staci had did and was trying to do. I just listened while Devin vented to me because I knew he needed someone to talk to, when he finished I just sat there thinking.

"What am I going to do Khalil?" He said I could hear the sadness in his voice and it killed me that I couldn't be there for him.

"Dev you told me yourself that there is a possibility that it is your baby. So all I can do is tell you to man up until the child gets here, and if it's not yours then great but if it is I'll help you in every way possible this child won't want for anything." I said.

"Didn't you just tell me to man up? If they baby is mine then I'll take care of it, you can do your uncle thing but this is my responsibility." Devin said, I sat there proud of him because he was making adult decisions.

"Do you think it's your's? And I don't want you to answer out of anger, I want you to really think about it." I said.

"Khalil I have this feeling in my head and in my heart that it's not mine, but there's no way to find out until the child is born." Devin said.

"Not necessarily, there is a way you can find out before the baby is born, but it's expensive, there are some risk, Staci would have to agree to it and we'll need a court order which you won't get without probable cause...." I said.

"Well I kinda recorded the conversation between Staci and the dude I knocked out, you think that's enough probably cause?" Devin asked.

"I have a lawyer friend that I could ask. We'll figure this out Dev don't worry, I'll see you tomorrow, love you little bro." I said before hanging up, I walked back into the living room and noticed Enzo was gone. "Where'd Enzo disappear to?" I asked sitting next to Marcus.

"I don't know he said he had something to do. But I need to ask you something, do you really think we need to  avoid them?" Marcus asked.

"Yeah, I don't like the idea of being around them if I don't have to. You already being followed what happens if they find out we're using them for information, things could get real bad." I said rubbing Marcus's feet.

"Okay we could play what if's all day, what if you cease all contact with them and they get desparate? What happens then? I get where your fears are coming from but we need to know what they're planning." Marcus said.

"Just give me a few days, I need to think this all over. But for now I want to forget all the drama and focus on one of the most important people in my life." I said pulling Marcus in and kissed him.

"No more drama...... I think I could do that. What do you think about me going back to school?" Marcus asked me.

"If you want to it's your decision and I'll support you. But the only negative is we won't have much time to see each other, you'll be working and going to school and I'll be getting ready for football, I don't think I could stand being away from you longer than I have too." I said kissing the bottom of him foot.

"There will always be times for quickies in between your training and my classes, plus I have lunch breaks." Marcus said laughing.

"You know me better than that Mar..... I don't do quickies. Now let's watch a movie." I said kissing him again.

"Let's watch The Conjuring." Marcus said smiling, I looked at him like he was crazy. "Please." He said looking all innocent and sexy. I put the movie in and sat there nervous. Something very few people knew about me was I didn't like scary movies..... at all. Every since I seen 'It' when I was younger I've hated scary movies and had a deep fear of clowns (I guess that's why I never ate at McDonald's.) So we sat watching the movie and less than half way through the movie I had to turn it off. "Khalil!" Marcus said looking at me as I got up and took the movie out. 

"How about we watch Frozen instead?" I said hoping he didn't hear the fear in my voice.

"Aww my baby's scared." Marcus said, he got up and walked over to me and kissing me.

"Nah I'm not scared I just think we should watch a Disney movie. Who doesn't love a good Disney movie." I said forcing a smile. Marcus kissed me again easing some of my fears, at least until someone knocked on the door. I almost jumped out my skin and Marcus started laughing. Marcus shook his head and opened the door letting Tonya in.

"Hey Khalil." Tonya said waving at me, but I couldn't respond because my heart was racing. "What's wrong with him?" Tonya asked Marcus.

"I'm fine, Marcus I'm going to head home, Devin's going through some things right now and he needs me but I'll be back this weekend. If you think anything's wrong I want you to call me no matter what time of day or night." I said.

"Okay I love you." Marcus said kissing me.

"I love you too Marcus." I said kissing him again. I knew he was sad I was leaving but I'll make it up to him. "Bye Tonya." I said walking out and getting in my car. When I got home I was ready for bed, I went to my bathroom showered and was about to lay down when I heard something moving around downstairs. Maybe I was trippin that movie really fucked with my head, but there was no harm in checking. I went downstairs with nothing but a towel around my waist, yeah that movie really fucked with my head because there was no one here. Then I heard something moving in the kitchen. I grabbed a my baseball bat and crept slowly to the kitchen, and saw the outline of someone going through the cabinets. That was all I needed to see before I swung the bat as hard as I could hitting the dude in the leg.

"AHHH FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!!" Devin yelled. I ran to turn the lights on to find my little brother laying on the floor holding his leg. Oh fuck.
