Five young men; through circumstance or chance all growing up in the Brittany Hills Group Home. Ronnie, Carter, Dejon, Valentino and Jace all learn that at the end of the day all they have is each other..........
I watched Carter walk around the house in his feeling, when we understand that he had me..... I was ready to be his but he always took a step back whenever I tried to get close; all morning I had been dropping hints about Homecoming and he brushed me off saying that he didn't want to go, so when Antwan asked me I didn't see any reason to say no since Carter wanted to stay home then Carter did a complete one-eighty , he started acting funny making little slick comments, throwing shade at Antwan and making innuendo about last night. Me in Carter weren't together he made that perfectly clear when he decided to call one of his little hoes and start talking to them the entire ride back to the house but when I called Antwan he grabbed my phone and hung up. Now we were just looking at each other trying to figure out what we were going to do, my phone started ringing and Carter ignored whoever was calling and put my phone back in his pocket, then it started ringing again and Carter became visibly irritated as he pressed ignore.
"Aight that's enough Carter give me my phone back." I said getting up and walking over to him he put my phone behind his back and moved out the way. "Carter quit fuckin playing so damn much." I said trying to wrestle my phone from him and we somehow ended up on the couch kissing.
"Quit trying to make me jealous Ronnie, you know how I get when I'm in my feelings and you're going to end up getting that nigga beat up. Now here are your options, you can either go to Homecoming with that nigga Antwan or you can stay here with me and we can fuck all night." Carter said kissing me again.
"Carter how often do we get a chance to go out and have fun? We're basically prisoners with a little more freedom, I wanna enjoy myself and you wanna stay here and have sex when we can do that whenever..... including tonight." I said trying to reason with him.
"Nah it's either me or him....." Carter said giving me an ultimatum, I looked into his eyes for a minute and before I could give Carter an answer someone started knocking on the door. Carter rolled his eyes and got up stomping over to the door, like a child... when he opened the door Zyn was standing there and Carter closed the door in his face, tossed me my phone and walked upstairs. I opened the door and let Zyn in and I could tell he was pissed.
"That nigga is rude as fuck, I'm guessing that nigga is the reason I kept getting sent to voicemail....." Zyn asked and I nodded. "Aight he don't know me like that so he better chill the fuck out before I beat his ass. You trying to go play basketball?" Zyn asked.
"Yeah let me go put some shorts on..... just wait down here." I said before running upstairs to get ready, I walked past Valentino's room and I could tell he was pissed about that girl slapping him I started to go in there and check on him but Carter was in there with him and when those two both get in there feelings it was bad news, so I went to get ready and a few minutes later me and Zyn were walking out the door; heading towards the basketball court.
"Why don't we ever use your court in the backyard? I mean it's right there......" Zyn asked as we walked down the street.
"Because living with four others dudes gets annoying and sometimes I want to get away from the house." I said quietly.
"You mean get away from your boyfriend?" Zyn said and I tensed up a little. "Ronnie it's coo, it doesn't bother me that you're gay; it's public knowledge that my Uncle Seven gets down and my Uncle Tion got exposed so I'm used to it.... you're coo as fuck and you can play basketball which is all I care about." Zyn said as we reached the park. We shot around for about two hours just talking and getting to know each other; Zyn was coo as fuck he had a twin named Zach but they went to separate schools because Zyn was kinda a troublemaker.
"So you got kicked outta school for fighting your twin?" I asked.
"Yeah me and Zach are polar opposites..... he's straight as an arrow; doesn't smoke, straight A's, says his grace before every meal, basically boring as fuck..... I take after my mom's side of the family; I'm a wild boy I like living life to the fullest." Zyn said taking a beautiful three pointer. "So I figure at a new school I can be myself instead of being the 'bad twin', so when are basketball tryouts? I'm determined to get back on a real court." Zyn asked as a black Challenger pulled up, I knew it was Antwan because just like his Mustang engraved on the side were the letters AJ for Antwan Jenson. He got out and walked over to me and Zyn smiling.
"I just left your place and that nigga Carter is really starting to piss me off, I haven't done anything to him and he keeps being extremely disrespectful." Antwan said smacking the ball from Zyn's hands before taking an ugly shot.
"What's the plan after Homecoming? I'm not trying to go straight home because my mom be trippin and my twin is lame as fuck so I know I'm going to be bored....." Zyn said.
"We can go back to my place, my parents are out of town yet again and I was thinking of having a couple people over.... you can bring that one bitch from third period that you've been eye fuckin....." Antwan said.
"Is your sexy ass cousin Raheim going to be there?" Jace asked walking up with Valentino, Carter and King. "If so where's my invite because he's sexy as fuck." Jace said while King rolled his eyes and Carter stared at me like he was trying to decide if he wanted to kiss me or fight me.
"Yeah Rah will be there, he's staying the whole weekend..... but I should warn you, you're not exactly Rah's type but y'all are more than welcome to come.... even you Carter." Antwan said but Carter's eyes never moved from me. "Look I gotta get going Ronnie I'll catch you later." Antwan said pulling me into a tight hug. "I'm going to swing by later.... make sure your phone is on." Antwan whispered before walking off.
"This nigga got two cars and here I am still catching the bus..... I might have to make a call to my uncle to see if we can work out a deal, I'll catch you later Ronnie I gotta go make a phone call." Zyn said dapping me up and walking off.
"Now you know I don't usually go for the light brights and I usually top, but Zyn Hayes can take my virginity any day of the week, I mean did you see the print in them shorts, Daddy is working with something lethal." Jace said fanning himself and once again King rolled his eyes. "Oh relax King aren't you supposed to be on the 'DL' you gotta chill with the facial expression or someone will find out the truth about you."
"Whatever y'all niggas trying to smoke or what, that's the reason we came up here isn't it?" King said and Carter was still staring at me. They started rolling up and I sat there trying to figure out why Carter hasn't said a single word since getting here.
"Carter what's your deal?" I asked and he pulled out his phone and called someone.
"Ayy where are you at?" He asked and after a short conversation he smiled. "Aight I see you pulling up." He said hanging up and I looked in the direction he was staring and saw the House Two van pulling into the parking lot, then Josiah stepped out and started walking towards us.
"So is this your plan? Call that nigga to make me jealous?" I asked slightly perturbed.
"Me and Josiah decided to be FRIENDS just like you and Antwan and just like you and that nigga Zyn..... relax boo you know you still got my heart." Carter said getting up and walking over to Josiah, they started talking for a few seconds then Carter pulled Josiah into a hug. See this shyt between me and Carter was getting ridiculous and I was really getting to the point where I was going to just cut him off completely because as much as I loved him neither one of us were ready to be with each other. I stood up and started to walked over to him but something happened that I didn't expect; Josiah punched Carter right in the face and I don't know what came over me but the next thing I knew me and Josiah were in the park fighting...........................
