I was running around like a chicken with it's head cut off, there were more people here than I expected, some of Khalil and Enzo's teammates and their wives, girlfriends, or special friends all had shown up and I hadn't prepared for this many people. I walked around making sure we didn't run out of anything, I hadn't seen Khalil since we left me with some of is teammates wives and I was starting to get stressed out he had really underestimated the number of people that were going to show up. I noticed we were running low on drinks so I went to to the basement to get some more, but what I saw had me turn around shocked, Cam had Legacy's sister on the pool table with his short around his ankles after that I was done. I walked back upstairs and ran straight into Khalil.
"Heeyy baby." He said slurring his words and smiling, I shook my head because the party hadn't even started two hours ago and he was already drunk as fuck. "I'll be right back I gotta go get some more drinks from the basement." He said reaching for the door.
"NO! I mean I just check there aren't anymore I was going to run to the store and get some more. Just umm go entertain your guest I'll be right back." I said pulling him away from the door.
"Alright but hurry up." He said grabbing my ass. I walked to the fridge and handed him a bottle of water.
"Drink this and sober up some." I said.
"I'm good Mar....... but have you seen my brothers?" Khalil asked sipping the water. I had seen more of Cam then I wanted to think about and last time I seen Devin he was talking to Nico and some other dude, but I didn't tell Khalil that because he was already drunk and I didn't know how he was going to act.
"Umm there somewhere around here, but is there anything specific you want me to get from the store?" I asked. Khalil smiled and pulled me closer to him.
"What you can do for me is hurry back, I'm about to seconds away from kicking everybody out so I can fuck you again." Khalil whispered in my ear my eyes closed and I could hear the lust in his voice I was half tempted to let him but once he started started nibbling on my ear and I had completely forgot we had guest that was until Enzo came and grabbed Khalil.
"I need to borrow my brother real quick." Enzo said with a smirk, I looked around and we were getting a few crazy looks, but one dude in particular seemed more amused than everyone else. I walked away embarrassed and went out front, where Devin was standing with Nico and the other person, he looked beyond sad but he nodded his head, shook both there hands and walked away. I almost went after him but he seemed like he wanted to be alone so I started to get in my car but remembered I really didn't need to go to the store. So I sat in my car listening to music, I just needed a second away from everyone.
I sat in my car for about thirty minutes and decided to go back inside, before I could my phone rang I checked it and didn't recognize the number. I started not to answer it but thought what the hell I need a few more minutes to prepare myself to go back in the party.
"Hello?" I said quietly.
"So..... I was just thinking about college and something popped into my head, remember that time we all went out and Tonya got into a fight with one of my exes and while she was on top of her she threw up?" Qwanell said laughing and I had to start laughing too I had completely forgot about that night.
"What's up, what are you doing?" I asked.
"I'm out with some of my old military friends and we were talking about old college stories and I realized I hadn't talked to you in a while, what about you are you doing anything special?" Qwanell asked.
"I'm at a cookout over Khalil's house." I said.
"That's cool, I was wondering why I had seen you around San Antonio much. I was hoping we could hang up before I went to Ohio maybe grab a couple drinks, are you still a light-weight?" Qwanell asked laughing.
"If I remember correctly there were many nights when I had to carry your ass back to the dorm. But yeah we can hang out just pick a day and me and Khalil will come hang out with you." I said.
"Oh...... I mean that's cool. I'll hit you up later though I gotta go...... it was good talking to you Marcus." Qwanell said hanging up. I put my phone in the glove compartment and went inside. I could tell that in the time that I was sitting outside a lot pf people had started drinking. If there was three things I could count on at any type of get together was somebody starting a game of cards or something, somebody getting so drunk that they had to get carried out, and somebody fighting. I walked through the house and I saw some people sitting at the dining room table playing cards, when I got to the kitchen one of Khalil's teammates wife/girlfriend was passed out and he was trying to get her off the floor. Two down, one to go I thought I was almost outside when I ran into someone I didn't know he was kinda young but he was taller than me and built like Khalil so I figured he was on Khalil's team.
"My bad shorty..... I'm Vic." He said sticking his hand out, I shook his hand and recognized him as the dude that was staring at me and Khalil earlier.
"Nice to meet you, have you seen Khalil?" I asked, he smirked at me and looked away.
"Nah I haven't seen in a while, last time I saw him he was all hugged up on you." He said laughing slightly.
"If you have a problem with it you can leave." I said looking him in the eyes.
"Trust me I don't have a problem with it.... in fact I thought it was kinda cute the way Khalil was with you, I'm just wondering how long it'll take for me to get him to do me like that." Vic said with an evil glimmer in his eyes.
"What did you just say?" I asked quietly.
"I'm pretty sure you heard me, but look here's the deal all it's going to take is one lonely night while we're on the road and I can almost guarantee I'll be in his room one my back, legs in the air." He said coldly. I almost hit him but like Superman Khalil came outta nowhere from behind Vic and pushed him against the wall.
"If you ever disrespect Marcus again, I'll beat your ass and then I'll have you off the team so fast you'll think it was a fucking dream. Now get the fuck out my house before I have you carried out." Khalil said through clenched teeth. He let Vic go and pulled me away leaving him standing there with a evil smirk on his face.
"Where did you come from?" I asked once he pulled me near the pool. Khalil looked at me and I could see he was beyond pissed, but he still smirked.
"I was watching you for a while, if I would've known he was going to say some shyt like that I would've stepped in sooner. I'm sorry for that Marcus.... Enzo tried to tell me that dude was feeling me but I brushed it off and you don't have to worry about him because I'm telling you right here and now...... I only have eyes for you, I've only had eyes for you since I was little and I'm not going anywhere." Khalil said.
"I know." I said smiling.
"I thought you were about to hit him." Khalil said smiling.
"I was, if you hadn't had stepped in when you did I probably would've beat his ass." I said laughing.
"You know I would've had your back..... on another note where the hell are my brother I haven't seen them since the party started." Khalil asked and just as he said I saw Cam walk outside with Legacy's sister the were both smiling hard as fuck. I shook my head and pointed at him.
"There's Cam right there." I said.
"Alright I'm about to go introduce him to a few people can you go find Devin and tell him I need him?" Khalil asked.
"I got you." I said.
"I know you do." Khalil said kissing me before he walked away. I smiled and went back inside to look for Devin knowing he probably wasn't in the mood to socialize.
