Homecoming Pt. 1

Devin 95

I had just finished cleaning the entire house, Antonio was coming over to spend a few days with me since Khalil was camping out over Enzo's. Cam and Legacy had decided to go back to Miami before we started school in a few weeks and the truth is I was kinda lonely here by myself. I double checked the house to make sure everything  was spotless and made sure I wasn't forgetting anything, after that I decided to take a nap since Antonio wasn't supposed to be here until tomorrow morning. Right before I got to sleep I my phone started ringing, I answered the phone without checking who it was because I had been expecting it to be Antonio.

"What's up stranger?" Nico said, I sat up and checked my phone twice I hadn't heard from him since before Khalil's accident so I found it weird that he was calling me.

"What's up." I said laying back down. Nico hesitated before speaking and for a second I thought he had hung up. "Nico?" I asked.

"I'm still here, how's Khalil doing?" He asked quietly.

"He's doing better, he's out the hospital at least. Sorry I never called you back after everything happened it there was just so much going on that it slipped my mind. But how have you been?" I asked sitting up.

"Are you doing anything tonight?" Nico asked suddenly, I was confused because it seemed like a random question.

"Nah I was just about to take a nap, why what's up?" I asked.

"I was wondering if you wanted to get something to eat, we haven't seen each other since the cookout and I thought it would be a good way to catch up. But if you're busy then I understand." Nico said quickly, I thought about it for a second and decided what the hell I was hungry and didn't feel like cooking anyway so why not?

"Aight give me like an hour and I'll meet you somewhere, just text me where you want me to meet you and I'll be there when I get out the shower." I said getting up and walk to my closet to find something to wear.

"Alright I lo..... I'll text you." Nico said hanging up. I froze for a second I could swore he was about to say something else, but I couldn't linger on it too long. I grabbed my clothes and put them one the bed, before I got in the shower I texted Antonio and let him know my plans for the night and hopped in the shower.  Forty-five minutes later I was out the door and on my way to meet Nico, I pulled up to the restaurant and walked inside, I spotted Nico immediately as he sat in the corner looking at his phone. I walked over to him and when he saw me stood up and tried to give me a hug at the same time I tried to dapped him up, turning the moment extremely awkward. After a few gut wrenching seconds he sat back down and I sat across from him.

"Have you ordered already?" I asked  picking up the menu.

"Nah I was waiting for you." He said grabbing his menu as well, after we placed our orders we sat in silence not exactly sure what to say to each other which was strange because he was one of  my best friends.

"So how are thing's going with you and Will?" I asked just trying to start a conversation. Nico looked nervous but then he smiled.

"Great..... just great, so what about you are things great with you and Antonio?" Nico asked.

"Yeah things couldn't be better, he's actually coming over tomorrow to spend a few days with me. So other than things going great with Will, what else has been going on in Nico's world?" I asked as the waitress brought our drinks.

"Everything has been great.... just great." Nico said again, now I could tell he was nervous about something.

"You said that already..... Nico what's going on for real? And don't try to insult my intelligence I know you well enough to know everything is not great as you put it, so what going on?" I asked looking into his eyes.

"Devin I told you everything is good, so how have you been?" He asked in a shallow attempt to change the subject.

"Nico..... I've never lied to you, if you don't want to talk about that's fine just say that instead of lying to me." I said seriously. Nico couldn't think of anything to say so he got back on his phone and started texting again. "Why did you invite me out? You said you wanted to catch up but when I try to have a conversation, you shut me out. Honestly I could've stayed my ass in bed if I would've known you were going to act like this." I said getting pissed.

"Well I'm sorry I messed up your perfect evening Devin. Maybe you should get back home and get things ready to spend some time with your perfect boyfriend." Nico said standing, he threw some money on the table and started walking out. The waitress came back with our food and I told her just to get some to-go boxes and I followed Nico out of the restaurant.

"Nico what the hell is going on with you? First you invite me out then you leave when I ask you a question so what's up talk to me." I said grabbing his arm making him face me. I saw tears shimmering in his eyes and let him go. "Nico what's wrong?" I asked.

"I thought I could do this..... but I can't, I thought I could handle being just your friend but I can't Devin because truthfully I'm still in love with you. When I heard about Khalil, I was so worried about you that I realized that maybe I wasn't as over you as I thought I was. " Nico said avoiding my eyes.

"Nico I...." He silenced me with a kiss and I backed away.  "Look I don't know what kind of game you and Will are playing but you can take me off the board. I've moved on and I really think you should too. I.... I gotta go." I said walking back inside to grab my food, when I came back outside Nico was still standing there.

"Devin, Will doesn't know how I feel about you.... at least I don't think he does, he knows something is different but he doesn't know what." Nico said.

"I'm sorry Nico... I have enough going on in my life right now, I don't need this too. Maybe you should tell Will the truth because he's innocent in all of all this. Take care Nico." I said walking to my car. I pulled off and called Antonio and told him everything that happened.

"Are you aight?" He asked me and I was surprised, I just told him that my ex kissed me and he was worried about how I felt.

"I'm good, if I would've known how the night was going to turn out I definitely would've stayed home. I didn't know Nico still felt that way about me." I said quietly.

"Devin it's not easy getting over your ex some people need more time than others, maybe you should just give him some space to get over you." Antonio said, I thought about what he was saying and agreed maybe I needed to give Nico space.

"So we still on for tomorrow?" I said changing the subject because even though I was in a relationship with Antonio I still didn't feel comfortable talking with him about Nico.

"I was actually thinking about coming over tonight, I don't have anything to do and I'm bored as hell." Antonio said.

"Yeah come through, I don't have anything planned either, yeah you should definitely come tonight I really hate being in that big ass house by myself." I said smiling. Antonio told me he was on his way and I got back to the house ate and showered quickly, the house was already clean so I didn't have anything else to do but wait. Antonio arrived and I couldn't help but smile as I opened the door and saw him standing there, I pulled him inside and led him to the living room pulling his shirt off along the way. We fell back on the couch and started laughing Antonio looked up at me and I knew what he wanted, I stuck my tongue in his mouth and grabbed his ass tightly. Antonio moaned beneath me and started pulling my shorts down and I fumbled with his shorts as well and as soon as I started to pull them down somebody decided to ring the doorbell.

"AHHH!" I said as Antonio pushed me off of him. I stood up and pulled my shorts back up as Antonio started trying to fix his clothes. "Stay just like that I'll be right back." I said smiling at Antonio, I walked to the door and took a deep breath, whoever this was better have a good reason for interrupting me, I opened the door and almost jumped out my skin.

"Don't look so surprised cutie, you should've known I wasn't going to stay away for long." Just when I thought my night couldn't get any stressful, Satan decided to show up at my doorstep.
