We walked back inside where there was an awkward silence. I walked in the living room with Bryson right behind me. My mom walked out the kitchen wiping her hands on a towel.
"Mija where is-" She stopped mid sentence when she saw Bryson." Oh ah..." she said looking at me then at Bryson again.
"It’s ok mom, he knows" I said. I felt Bryson behind me and I have would just loved for his arms to be wrapped around me. Stop it Asia he doesn't want you and you don't need him.
"It’s about damn time" My mom said walking over and hugging Bryson" I told that girl to tell you, but did she listen to me? No. I swear..." My mom started ranting in Spanish as she walked back in the kitchen. I shook my head at her. Bryson had amusement in his eyes then he looked at me and it was gone. I sighed.
"I’ll go get him" I said quietly. I walked upstairs and went into his room. He was still asleep so I knew is but was gone be cranky since I'm waking him up. I gently shook him.
"Baby wake up" I said brushing the hair out of his face. He moved for a minute then went back to sleep." Come on pooh bear wake up" I said shaking him a little harder. His eyes squinted open looking at me. He yawned stretching his little limbs. He rested back on the bed trying to keep his eyes open. I felt bad for waking him." Come down stairs with me" I said sitting him up" He groaned quietly
"Why" he croaked yawning again
"I have some one downstairs who wants to meet you" I said picking him up since he was too tired to walk. I walked downstairs and saw Bryson by the fire place looking at some pictures. He turned around when he heard us walk in and his eye immediately went to Gabriel.
"Gabriel this is my friend Bryson" Bryson glared at me for a moment then looked at Gabe
"Hi" He said. Gabe rubbed his eyes looking at him shyly
"Hi" He said back quietly. I put him down in front of me, since he was more wake. Bryson crouched down to his level
"How old are you?" he asked him
"I’ll be three next month" he said to him
"Wow well aren't you a big boy" Gabe looked up at me
"See mama I told you I was a big boy" Gabe said and looked back at Bryson" She baby me too much" He said scrunching up is face. Bryson laughed.
"That just her being a good mom" he said. My heart warmed at his words. I wonder if he really meant them.
"How old are you" Gabe asked and you good tell he was starting to get comfortable around him.
"I’m 20 years old" he replied
"Your old like mama" He said making us both laugh which made him smile" do you want to play with my new toys I got for Christmas?"
"Ok" he said. Gabe went over and started to gather his toys. I went into the other room to give them some privacy. I sat down with a sigh
"So..." Ebony asked
"So what" I asked
"So did Bryson meet him" she asked excitedly
"Yea there together right now"
"About freaking time" I Darnell said coming in the room. I threw a pillow at him.
"Where’s Malik and Mya" I asked when I didn't see them
"Probably somewhere fu- I mean probably somewhere consummating their engagement" Deshawn said trying to sound smart
"I didn't need to hear that" I said not wanting the visual of my brother and my best friend doing...things. We all were talking for a while until we heard a crash like sound and crying. My heart beat picked up as I ran into the living room. Bryson was crouched over Gabe who was holding his knee trying his best not to cry.
