Homecoming Pt. 3

Khalil 88

In the days leading up to Cam's departure, everything seemed calm and that bothered me because after the last few months I couldn't believe that it was over just like that. Zyshaun insisted on handling Julius personally and told me not to worry about it which made me even more worried because Zyshaun wan't all there and wherever he perceived a threat he a different person, then add that to the fact that his mom and mysterious sister have come back I wasn't sure Zy was thinking straight....... then there was Marcus. He was pissed that Roseline was back, he was pissed that Julius was back, he was pissed that Noah got caught by Isabelle in Jade's room. But tonight I was going to ease some of his worries after I got finished with these two knuckleheads, Noah and Toussaint have been looking for something to where to the party for three hours and now I understood why Marcus hated going shopping with Noah.

"Dad why are we having our parties together? I mean I'm not complaining but I am curious." Noah said bringing out more clothes to try on.

"Because your uncle Cam won't be here and I think he wants to spend some time with his nephew before he leaves...... honestly you should be lucky we're even giving you a party after that shyt happened the other day." I said cutting my eyes at him.

"Dad we weren't even doing anything when she walked in, we were just laying in the bed talking." Noah said downplaying what had and failing to mention that Isabelle found an open condom wrapper on the floor.

"Whatever No' look hurry up I got plans tonight and I'm gotta go get ready." I said pulling out my phone. Finally after another hour they were done and we were walking out to the car. "Nah I'm not carrying shyt, remember that's your stuff so you can carry it." I said as Noah tried to juggle everything in his arms.

"Khalil Cunningham, well isn't this a surprise. My beloved son told me you were going outta town, shame on him for lying." Zyshaun's mom Linda said walking over to me and the boys.

"Hello Ms. Prater, I'm sorry I've been kinda busy." I said trying to be respectful to the woman my best friend hated more than anyone.

"Please stop with the Ms. Prater stuff, call me Linda since that's what my son insist on calling me. Oh who is this adorable little boy, he looks just like you." She said looking at Noah, who blushed and started walking to the car then she looked at Toussaint and smirked evilly.

"Yes that's my son." I said.

"And this must be the orphan that Zyshaun found on the street, Toonie or something...... I remember your mother from her youth, she was a sweet child it's too bad she couldn't handle her problem." She said and my anger went from 0 to 1000. I looked at Toussaint who looked beyond pissed and I knew I had to get him outta there because unlike Noah, Toussaint didn't care what he said to anyone.

"Saint come on....." I said grabbing his arm and pulling him because I could tell by how hard he was breathing, he was close to knocking her old ass out.

The ride back to the house was silent except for the sound of sniffling from the backseat and when I looked at Saint through mirror he had his face covered but I could tell by the little movements of his shoulders he was crying. Toussaint was a tough kid but one thing that he was insecure about was the fact that he was adopted. We got back to the house and he rushed inside.

"Noah grab these bags....." I said going after him, I found Saint in the backyard and I walked over to him slowly. "Saint don't let what that old bitch say get to you......" I said quietly.

"She didn't say anything I didn't already know......... yeah I'm an orphan and yeah my mom had problems I just hate being reminded of it from some stranger." Saint said.

"Fuck that bitch Saint...... look there is nothing wrong with being an orphan. Your dad was an orphan, your Uncle Devin was an orphan, hell I was pretty much an orphan and look how we turned out. So wear that title proudly." I said, Saint wiped his face and turned to hug me.

"Thanks Uncle Khalil....... you mind not saying anything to my dad the last thing I want is for him to start trippin." Saint said wiping his face again. I nodded and he walked back into the house and as soon as I saw him head down to Noah's room I called Zyshaun.

"I'll handle it....." Zyshaun said hanging up, I knew Saint would be pissed I told but I knew Zyshaun needed to know, even though it didn't seem like it he was extremely protective of Toussaint, so I knew whenever he was done with whatever it was that he had to say Linda wouldn't dare even look at Toussaint wrong.

"Wassup big bro." Devin said as I walked back into the living room.

"I thought you were supposed to be chillin with Cam today?" I asked sitting next to him.

"I was.... but I think him and Liberty are trying to get a years worth of fucking in these next two days and probably some more the two days after the party....... Damn I can believe it's going to be a year before we see him." Devin said sadly.

"Yeah I know...... but I'm already looking forward to him getting back. I'm going to beat his ass for putting me through all that stress...." I said smiling. "What's going on with you though? How are you handling the Steph thing?" I asked.

"I'm supposed to be meeting with a detective in like two hours to discuss what exactly Steph's problem with me was. From what I understand he's been watching me for a while....... But it's whatever he's dead now."Devin said coldly..... then I realized something.

"Devin are you drunk?" I asked knowing it was bothering him a lot more than he was letting on if he resorted to drinking. "Look you're not going anywhere like that, where's Blaze?" I asked and his eyes turned dark.

"Where do you think he's at? Work..... matter fact since they got back that's where he's been, he'll come home take a shower and leave out again." Devin said pissed.

"Devin....... someone broke into your house, that dude was waiting to kill you. Have you ever stopped and thought how violated Blaze feels? The one place you're suppose to have peace was broken into and I think maybe Blaze is scared....... and you're really not one to talk because you're barely there too from what I've heard you've been camping out at the studio these last few days." I said looking at him.

"I don't wanna talk about it....... look I'm going to sleep for like an hour before I go meet with this dude." Devin said getting up and walking away, I sat on the couch thinking about everything that's happened; Zyshaun was dealing with is mom, Devin and Blaze were going through it, Marcus was mad at me, Cam was getting ready to leave...... the only people who were happy were Enzo and Legacy. I leaned back on the couch and noticed Marcus walking into the living room. He didn't say anything but I watched his every move carefully, as he traced his fingers along the couch until they crept over my shoulders spending a chill throughout my entire body. He stood behind me for a few seconds before leaning forward and stealing a kiss.

"Marcus....... ummm you......." I tried to focus as he started nibbling on my ear distracting me. "You should probably go get dressed I got...... fuck...." I said as his hand explored my chest then finally resting on my dick. "I got something special planned for us." I finally managed to get out as he walked around the couch and straddled my lap.

"We're not going out tonight." He said kissing me, I looked at him confused and he smiled. "We're staying in tonight, you're going to have my mom to take Saint and Noah somewhere anywhere, then you're going to call Torian and have him come get Devin, then we're going to turned off all the light....." He said biting down on my lip. "Light some candles, put on some 90's R&B....." Marcus paused and looked in my eyes.

"Keep going." I said rubbing his ass.

"And you're going to make me forget about everything except us for a few hours." Marcus said kissing me.

"But I had this whole night planned..... I made us dinner reservations, then we were going to go for a moonlit walk through the park....... and....... what are you doing?" I asked as Marcus pulled my dick out and kiss the head.

"Do what I said Khalil...... you have an hour." Marcus said kissing the head of my dick again, then getting up. I watched him walk away and I quickly pulled out my phone. I looked out the window and noticed the clouds turning damn near black, a storm was coming both figuratively and literally so if I could spend at least one night with the love of my life before everything changed when I'd do that, I stared out the window as lighting flashed across the sky...... yeah something was definitely coming, but tonight was all about me and Marcus...........................
