Chapter 8: Morning

6:30 am

Kelvin's POV:

I woke up in my boxers, i looked over and Willie was beside me, my head was laying on his chest, no we couldn't have right? I had a flashback to last night, i remembered everything...After our hot make out session we didn't have sex we just went back to watching TV. The sun was beginning to rise through the curtain, Willie began to wake up.

"Well i see somebody is up already." He laughed, his laugh sounded so sexy. "So you want anything to eat man?"

"Naw I'm good, i got to get ready to get on the road." I told him.

"Naw homie you don't have to leave this early, yo for real let me make you some breakfast." He said. "I mean your my guest, it's the least i could do." He told me, flashing that million dollar smile.

"Alright alright, so what else you do in your spare time?"

"Well other than school and work it's nothing to do, i might go out here and there, might go to the beach sometimes, nigga shit." He said laughing. "What about you?"

"Well i usually hang with my main homie Jamal but me and him kind of on the outs right now, we going through some bullshit, well bullshit on his part." I said.

"Well people got they own shit they be going through, but bro let me tell you if he cool with you no matter how much y'all argue or shit then he down for you. Anyway homie come over here and get something to eat."

"That's not what i want to eat." I unknowingly said aloud.

"Oh and what do you want to eat?" He said laughing.

"Oh shit my bad...."

"You good, anyway come get these pancakes bro." He said laughing. "After that if you want we can chill for awhile, maybe we can go to the park across the street and play some football."

"Yeah, yeah sounds like a plan man." I said smiling at him, he smiled back. "Yo Willie, you and your girl still cool, y'all still together?" I asked. "Just wondering."

"Shit i'll be honest with you man, yeah me and her are still together, i mean me and her been with each other for awhile." he walked over to the couch and sat down with his face in the palm of his hands. "I just don't know how i'm going to tell her, i mean me and her have been together for awhile, for a few years actually." He said. "I just don't know what's going to happen once i break things off with her, i feel like this is moving to quick, i don't know how to go about it." He told me.

"Well Willie i don't want to influence you into breaking things off with her and i don't want you to feel regret for breaking shit off with her just so me and you could be with each other, look i'll leave you in your thoughts man, i'll leave you to think." I told him, getting up and walking over to the door. "I don't want to get a late start on the road anyway, maybe me and you can take a rain check on that 1 v 1 football game."

"Yeah bet, we'll go a round next time homie." He walked over to me and hugged me. "Thanks for coming by man, i appreciate it, i'll call you later on." He said as i walked out the door and left.

The ride home was somewhat silent other than the music playing i was in my head off and on just thinking about alot of things, what made me attracted to Willie, hell i was trying to figure out what made me gay in the 1st place. Growing up i never liked men, never had sexual experiences with men, never really had feelings towards men, that all changed that day on the field, the day Willie held my hand, and looked in my eyes, he gave me a "it's going to be alright" look.

I know he couldn't go with me to the hospital but if he could i know he would, that made me want to get to know him even more, his uniqueness, him in general. I got out of my thoughts because daydreaming isn't good, especially on the highway, i spent time blasting Boyz 2 men, 2 live crew, kid n play, run dmc & LL Cool J in my car and around 9am. When i got back to my apartment complex i seen Jamal sitting on the steps of my apartment waiting for me.

"What's up dude?" I walked past him as he said that. "Shit Kelvin what the fuck is your problem man?"

"You man, you!" I told him. "What the fuck is going on with you dude, one second we're cool, next second you're pissed because i'm hanging out and talking to Willie, back off man!" I told him, opening the door to my apartment up.

"Fuck you!" He said.

Next thing i know he came up to me and he slammed me up against the wall, the way he looked into my eyes was weird. "Look Kelvin, i'm sorry." He said. "I just don't want to lose my best friend, it's alot going on with me right now, you wouldn't understand, hell i don't even really understand it." He told me as he went to my couch and started crying.

"What's going on with you dude?" I sat beside him and patted him on his back. "You can talk to me dude." I said reassuring him.

"My baby's mom leaving and she's taking my son with him!" Jamal said, completely catching me off guard. "I love my son man, i feel like everything i have is being taken away from me, everything i love and care about, my mom was taken away from me at a young age in a drive by. My dad dipped on me a few years back." He said. "I just don't do shit to deserve this, why is this happening to me!" He said, banging his hands on the coffee table in front of us.

"It's gonna be ok man, it will be, don't worry." I said. "How old is the little guy?"

"He's 2 years old man, i know his mom is trying to do what's best for him, but i can't lose him man, not him, he's all i got." He said literally having a break down. "I can't lose you as a friend neither homie."

"Don't worry nigga for real you ain't gonna lose me as a friend." I told him. "Look let me make you something to eat bro, for real, you not going to lose me." I said hugging him.
