Homecoming Pt. 1

Zyshaun 133

The only thing stopping me from blowing this dude's brains out was Khalil, if Marcus didn't mean so much to my little bro I would've deaded his ass right there in the middle of the store. But that didn't stop me from getting pissed, I was so caught off guard that I didn't realize my fist was flying towards Marcus until Khalil grabbed my arm about a half an inch away from Marcus's face and twisted it around my back, I struggled to get free but Khalil held me tightly. The door flew open, Devin, Cam, and Legacy all ran in and pulled us apart.

"Zyshaun I love you like a brother.... but if you touch Marcus, I'll beat the fuck outta you." Khalil said in a deadly voice his eyes tinged in red. I broke free from Cam and Legacy and walked out without saying a word because I knew if I said anything me and Khalil would end up fighting and I honestly didn't want that. I walked over to Young Mon's Lambo and jumped in the passenger seat, he must've seen the anger in my face because he knew to start driving. I got to my condo and went straight to the gym, I had too much anger built and I needed to let some anger out, after an hour of beating the fuck outta my punching bag I went back to my office I had some last minute things to take care of and I wasn't going to let my anger stop me from getting money, after working for most of the day I was finally starting to calm down.......

"Mr. Prater I told him you were busy...." My secretary Mya said following an angry looking Marcus. I had no choice but to be impressed because not only did he manage to get up to my office without getting shot but he also manage to have my big 350lbs security guard look almost afraid to touch him.

"It's fine Mya..... Mr. Riley to what do I owe this pleasure?" I said trying to hide my amusement and anger.

"Well first you can tell Yogi Bear here to leave and why you're at it you can tell this bimbo to kick rocks too." Marcus said pointing at Mya and my security guard.

"Mya will you excuse us and Tron..... you're belonging will be mailed to you." I said standing up to open the door for them. Tron looked like he wasn't to argue but he stopped himself before stomping out the room, Mya followed but not before rubbing my dick discreetly. When I turned around Marcus was sitting in my chair his arm crossed, looking like he owned the place. "You know that's my chair right?" I asked standing across from him.

"Sit down....." Marcus said pointing at the chair, after an intense stare down I sat down and found myself for the third time today both impressed and angry, who the fuck did he think he was to boss me around in MY office.

"Marcus......" I started but he put his hand up and I fell silent, the fuck is going on?

"Shut up...... Zyshaun I warned you not to fuck with my family.I don't know what you have Khalil tied up in but if anything happens to him because of what YOU'RE doing I swear to you on the breath I breathe that the nine circles of hell will look like a vacation by the time I'm done with you." Marcus said peering into my soul.

"And I told you that I would never put Khalil in danger...... so what make you think I would go back on my word?" I asked. Marcus looked at me and held out a large folder and handed it to me.

"Then explain to me why the fuck the FBI is building a fucking case against Khalil and tell me why is Khalil listed as part owner of YOUR company........ and while you're at it tell me how much Khalil knows because when I'm done here with you, I'm going after him." Marcus said slowly getting pissed. I read the paper the smile on my face getting bigger and bigger with each word I read. "Why are you smiling, this is fucking serious and you're sitting there smiling like....... like you fucking knew the whole time." Marcus said understanding flashing across his face.

"Marcus why do you think I requested you when I could've had the best team of lawyers in the world? You didn't think I was suspicious when a lawyer who primarily deals with prosecution was recommend to me from a mutual friend of ours, the same friend who used to work for me and who is now the star witness? You didn't think I saw the determination and lust in Vic's eyes whenever he said Khalil's name? I'm not the smartest man on the planet but I'm not an idiot either Marcus, while their playing chess I'm letting them think I'm playing checkers when in reality I'm move away from checkmate." I said placing the folder on the table.

"You picked me because you knew I'd do anything to protect Khalil......" Marcus said.

"Imagine my surprise when Khalil told me that you and Julius used to mess around and about the issue ya'll had with Julius in the past, then I started putting the pieces together Roseline had worked with Julius in the past to try and break you and Khalil up, I figured if Julius was willing to do anything to break ya'll up he'd do anything to protect you as well, I took a gamble and it paid off big time." I said still smiling.

"You were hoping that Julius would come to me, hoping he would tell me everything in a last ditch way of breaking me and Khalil up?" Marcus said quietly.

"Exactly. I would do anything to protect the only family I have...... Roseline, Vic, Julius they were all pawns easily moved and manipulated to fit my end goal." I said crossing my arms across my chest.

"This isn't a game Zyshaun this is me and Khalil's life we're talking about here..... and what was I jut another fucking pawn for you to move around and manipulate?" Marcus asked.

"At first yeah, but I truly underestimated the love you and Khalil shared and the more that I watched, the more I realized you were a much more important piece. Now for your earlier question about  how much Khalil knows and to why he's listed as part owner of our company....... we'll it's simple Khalil knows as much as I need him to know which is absolutely nothing, it was my why of protecting my brother in case anything like this ever happened and he's listed as part owner because if anything ever happened to me I need someone I trusted with what i built from nothing, plus Khalil was reckless with his money when he was younger...... I need a way to make sure he was financially secure in case anything ever happened to him, because we both know Khalil has weak knees." I said laughing.

"But what I'm not understanding is why you would go through all of this just to protect Khalil?" Marcus said.

"Like I said earlier Khalil is the only family I have...... the one person in this world I can trust everything to..... well he was until now, Marcus you could've kept quiet about this but you came straight to me though you went about it all wrong." I said rubbing my face.

"I'm not sorry about that......" Marcus said defiantly.

"Look I told you trust had to be earned, and you've earn my trust and hopefully after I've earned yours. But now I need you to do one more thing for me...... don't tell Khalil about any of this the less he knows the better not even about him being part owner of my... our company, am not going to let my brother go down for me." I said seriously.

"I won't say anything until after all of this is over..... but when this is over me and Khalil are going to leave again....... this is too much drama for only our first year together." Marcus said quietly.

"I'll buy the tickets....... Khalil deserves peace and so do you. So now that's settled, how about you go home and talk to Khalil I'm pretty sure he's worried about you and I have a party to plan." I said as Marcus got up and walked out.

Later that night I drove to Austin to talk to Young Mon, I remember the first time I heard him. I was in Boston on business and he walked up to me handed me his mix tape, and I signed him the next day, moved him and his family to Texas so I could help develop his career because I knew he was going to be special. I pulled up to the house I bought him and noticed his Red Lambo sitting on the lawn and shook my head, I told that dude about that shyt... as I walked up to the door and started to knock but realized he never locked the door, I walked right in and heard loud music coming from the upstairs. I followed the sound and heard muffled moaning coming from his bedroom, I figured he was in there with some chick but I had a business to run..... I opened the door and was shocked at what I saw, why was Young Mon laying on his back, legs in the air while some dark skinned dude with dreads fucked him senseless... but more importantly why was my dick getting hard?
