Homecoming Pt. 1

Enzo 109

These last few weeks with Legacy have been amazing, even though the season just started we still talked on the phone every night and spent as much time together whenever I wasn't on the road. But Thanksgiving was coming up and Khalil was having dinner at his house, he was supposed to be back later this week but he didn't want Devin and Cam to know, he said he wanted to surprise them. I stretched out in the bed and looked around the hotel room trying to remember what city I was in, then I remember I was in Detroit, I rolled over and saw it was three in the morning I debated on whether I should call Legacy or not but I figured he was sleep, man I couldn't wait to be off for these next few days. Truthfully though I was getting sick of it, I was tired of waking up not sure what city I was in, I was tired of the endless hours of practice, I was tired long periods away from my family..... the money was great but it was getting to the point where I wasn't happy anymore and though I loved basketball I was ready to do something different with my life. My phone started ringing and I smiled when I was Legacy's name.

"What's up playboy?" I said laying back in bed.

"Nothing up studying but I couldn't stop thinking about you, how'd the game go?" Legacy asked.

"You didn't even watch ya man play?" I said laughing.

"I wanted to but I really had to help Dev study, Cam was supposed to do it but he's still tripping. Honestly I'm not sure what's going on with him, when I talked to my sis she didn't have a clue either." Legacy said.

"It's coo, so are you ready for this little break?" I asked putting my arm behind my head.

"Hell yeah I get to spend time with you, I was going to go back to Miami but decided to go back for Christmas instead." Legacy said. "So you never answered my question how'd the game go?" Legacy asked.

"We won of course, fuck you thought?" I said laughing.

"Well since ya'll won I might have something special planned for you when you get back." Legacy said laughing as well. "But I was just calling to check on you, I gotta get back to studying."

"Aight man I lo..... I'll call you when I get back." I said quickly hanging up, damn I almost slipped up and told him I loved him. I shook my head and rolled back over and tried to get some sleep since I had an early flight.

When I got back to Texas I drove straight to Austin, I was taking Legacy, Cam, and Devin out to eat hopefully I could get Cam to open up because he was going down a lonely path by pushing everyone away. I pulled up to the gas station and got out just as a all black Bentley Mulsanne  pulled up next to my car. I walked inside and noticed the dude that got out the Bentley staring at me for some reason dude looked familiar as fuck and he was staring like he knew me too. He walked to the freezer and grabbed a bottle of water and walked towards me.

"Your name is Lorenzo Gonzalez right?" The dude said walking up to me, I nodded my head and examined the dudes flawless features, the more I looked at him the more it bugged me that I couldn't remember where I've seen him before. "My name is Zyshaun Prat.....

"You're Zyshaun Prater!!!" I said excitedly it took a lot for me to get star struck, but this dude was a legend, he graduated college and turned a record label that was damn near bankrupted into a multi-million dollar empire all in under ten years. This dude had so much money it made my bank account look like pocket change, even though this dude was a real rags to riches story there was always a darker side that  came with it, his name was also synonymous with violence every time you turned on the news one of his artist were involved in some type of drama.

"Yeah I see you've heard of me.... good game last night though I'm a hardcore Rockets fan, I actually came over here because of a mutual friend of ours Khalil Cunningham." He said quietly. I looked at him confused because I didn't even know Khalil knew this dude.

"Khalil's my brother..... but yeah what about him?" I asked instantly becoming careful of what I was saying.

"Another thing we have in common Khalil's like my brother as well, I was actually wondering if you could get a message to him for me." The way he said it made it sound like it wasn't a request.

"Well Khalil has gone on extended vacation and I haven't really talked to him and there's no telling when he'll be back." I said calmly never breaking eye contact.

"He'll be back later this week but I just need you to let him know that me and him need to talk, that's it. It was nice meeting you Lorenzo." Zyshaun said paying for him water and walking out the gas station. For some reason my heart was beating fast as fuck, why didn't Khalil tell me he knew this nigga? And more importantly what what did he need to talk to Khalil about? I brushed it off this was a conversation me and Khalil needed to have face to face. I got everything I needed and drove to the dorms, as I walked up I noticed Nico sitting in front of the dorms reading. He looked at me and I nodded my head, I didn't have a problem with Nico so I had no reason to ignore him.

"What's up Enzo?" He said smiling.

"Shyt just here to pick up the Three Amigos, what you reading?" I asked lifting the cover. "'The Art of War' damn that's some powerful shyt I tore through that and The 48 Laws of Power  in high school." I said.

"Yeah I just finished that." Nico said laughing.

"So I haven't seen you in a while what's going on with you and Dev? Ya'll still beefing or are ya'll best friends again." I asked.

"Me and Devin are cordial when we see each other but other than that nah I wouldn't say we're best friends but I wouldn't say we're beefing either." Nico said, I nodded my head and looked at my watch, I told them to be out here a twelve and it was going on twelve-thirty.

"Just give him some time, you know Devin better than anyone sometimes he's hot sometimes he's cold...... but between you and me I think he misses your friendship." I said truthfully. Nico didn't say anything which was coo because Devin, Cam and Legacy finally decided to grace me with their presence. "It's about time." I said smiling.

"It's Cam's fault he decided he wanted to wait til the last minute to take a shower. What's up Nico?" Devin said smiling in Nico's direction, Nico replied just as a burnt orange Mustang pulled up. I looked at Cam  and could already tell he was ready for war so I'm guessing that's the dude Iman."Ya'll together now?" Devin asked as Nico started walking away.

"Wouldn't you like to know." Nico said in a joking matter, Devin raised his hands in surrender but the smile was still on his face. I guess Cam couldn't take being around Nico anymore so he stormed off towards my car.

"Well have fun, I'll catch you later." Devin said as we started walking after Cam. "Have you talked to Khalil?" Devin asked jumping in the back with Cam.

"Nope...." I lied as I pulled off. I adjusted my mirror and could've sworn I saw an all black Bentley not too far behind my car but when I turned around it was gone. I shook my head maybe I was tripping. "So what do ya'll want to eat?" I asked.

"Steak" Devin said, while Legacy mumbled you. Cam didn't say anything he just continued to sulk in the back seat.

"Cam what are you feeling?" I asked trying to get Cam to speak, our eyes met through the mirror and he put his headphones in and closed his eyes. Whatever I couldn't wait til Khalil got back he was better at this kinda thing than I was. We finally decided on Red Lobster and as I pulled into a parking spot I saw the same black Bentley riding down the street, okay now I was sure that nigga Zyshaun was following me the only question now was why?
