This is what happened me and Valentino was sitting on the couch watching football when a frantic knock came at the door, I was honestly too full to get up but it was becoming clear that whoever was knocking wasn't leaving so I got up sluggishly and walked over to the door. When I opened the door Antwan barged in demanding to see Ronnie, well he really wasn't demanding but he seemed a little too eager to talk to Ronnie which irked my nerves. So I told him flat-out that Ronnie wasn't here and he needed to come back later or call him, but I knew Ronnie had left his phone on the charger. I guess this nigga Antwan was hard at hearing though because he seemed to ignore me, when I asked him why he was still here he tried that bullshyt line of 'it's really important' but I wasn't stupid I knew he lying because if it was really important he could've called Dejon or Jace. I was irritated and I could see that Antwan was getting irritated too, I saw Valentino pull out his phone and I knew he was calling Jace so I figured fuck it, no one was here to break us up and I've been wanting to beat this nigga's ass for a while now so I punched him........ Next thing I knew we were out in the front yard and this nigga just wouldn't quit, no matter how many times I hit him he would come back ten times harder and after a few minutes Dejon had grabbed me while Ronnie grabbed Fuck Nigga.
"YO WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH Y'ALL NIGGAS!?!?!?!" Dejon yelled. "ONE DAY WE GET LEFT TO OURSELVES AND YOU OUT HERE FIGHTING!!!"
"DON'T BLAME ME THAT BITCH ASS NIGGA BARGED INTO THE HOUSE LIKE HE OWNED THE PLACE MAKING DEMANDS AND WHEN I TOLD HIM TO KICK ROCKS HE WANNA STAND THERE LIKE HE COULDN'T HEAR SO DON'T BLAME ME, IT'S THAT NIGGAS FAULT!!!" I said pointing at Antwan.
"YOU KNOW WHAT I'VE BEEN TOO FUCKIN NICE TO YOUR BITCH ASS, I HAVEN'T DONE SHYT TO YOU AND YET YOU ARE CONSTANTLY AT MY NECK!!! I DON'T FUCK WITH ANYBODY, I CHILL WITH MY DUDE AND MIND MY BUSINESS BUT EVERY FUCKIN TIME I COME AROUND YOUR BITCH ASS GOT SOMETHING SMART TO SAY!!! I'm just going to go because all this fighting shyt ain't me...... Baby, that nigga Smoke has been trying to call you for hours and when he couldn't get in touch with you he called me, he wants you to call him A.S.A.P. I'll talk to you later because if I stay here any longer I'm going to snap." Antwan said walking off and like a fuckin lost puppy Ronnie followed after him.
"Damn Carter.... you bro and everything but you just keep taking L's. Like can you win a fight before the New Year... please? Like I need to see you win one fight for my sanity because I can't hang around niggas that can't protect themselves." Tay said leaning against the van.
"I was beating that niggas ass before y'all got here..... and while you're talking what happened to your hand." I asked looking at Tay's hand which was looking a little swollen, Tay looked down at his hand and smirked.
"Don't worry about that young buck.... you need to worry about that eye because it's starting to swelling." Tay said scooping Jace up in his arms and walking in the house, Dejon looked at me and shook his head, leaving me and Valentino outside. I stood there trying to decide if I wanted to throw a brick through Antwan's window and just when I decided that I should do it Valentino put his hand on my shoulder and shook his head.
"If this was a boxing match I would score the fight 117 to 115 in favor of Antwan..... you my bro so I gotta keep it real with you. I could also tell Antwan was holding back." Valentino said and I pushed his hand off my shoulder and walked in the house.
The rest of the day went by pretty quick; when Jasmine came over her ad Valentino disappeared upstairs and I haven't seen them since, Dejon was sitting with Natasha but it was clear she really didn't want to be here, Kameron stopped by but he didn't stay long and Toneio also came thru but he had to leave..... I wasn't sure how I felt about Toneio just yet, I mean he was coo as fuck, smart and he seemed interested in me but I felt like he hiding something or maybe it was the fact that I really wasn't ready to move on from Ronnie, who was still outside talking to Bitch Ass Antwan.
"Ayy I'm about to go take a nap.... I'll clean the kitchen when I wake up." I said to Jace who was too busy laughing at something Tay was saying so I doubt he heard me, whatever....... I walked up to my room and for some reason I got really horny. Fuck it I might as well jackoff before I take a nap, so I stripped completely naked, laid on my bed and started stroking my dick slowly......
"Carter can we......" Ronnie said walking into my room and quickly turning his head.
"Bro don't try to be all bashful now, you act like you haven't seen, sucked, licked and kissed every inch of my body. Actually you might as well come get in bed with me because I know you're horny too." I said smiling at him and he turned around.
"Whenever you're done come to my room so we can talk......" Ronnie said walking out and shutting the door behind him. Oh well, he didn't know what he was missing I thought to myself as I closed my eyes and imagined that Ronnie was riding my dick........... Once I was finished I cleaned myself up and went to Ronnie's room, he was sitting in the dark staring out the window but even then I could still tell he had been crying.
"Wassup?" I asked sitting across from him and turning his desk light on, yeah he had definitely been crying and I got pissed because I knew in my heart Antwan was the reason for his tears.
"Carter.... I love you, I'm in love with you." Ronnie said quietly and I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming. "As much as I try to deny it, I can't keep lying to myself and it's not fair to Antwan..... having to be around you, seeing you every second of every day is hard for me because as badly as I want to lose these feelings they won't go away." Ronnie said with his head down.
"Then drop Antwan and get with me...... you love me and I love you so I don't see why we can't just cut out all the excess fat and be together." I said reaching for his hand but he pulled away.
"Nah you misunderstand.... I'm in love with you but I can't be with you. I've given it a lot of thought and I can't be with somebody who doesn't love themselves and Carter you don't love yourself so I know you can't love me. Plus even though I love you..... I love Antwan more, when I'm with him everything in my life is just so much better, I'm happy...... stress-free and I'm with somebody who truly wants what's best not just for me but for our relationship. Which is why he insisted we had this talk because he sees it and so does everyone else....." Ronnie said and I felt myself getting pissed.
"I do love myself..... I love myself enough to know that you make me better. I fucked up; all the lying and sleeping with other people that was my fault but if you love me the way you say you do then that shouldn't matter. We've both fucked up Ronnie but I'm trying...." I said looking in his eyes.
"No you're not...... you have yet to face your parent's death, you avoid the problems with your uncle, and now you got a kid on the way. Yeah I know because that bitch Ciara told me, I just didn't say anything because I wanted you to tell me when you were ready but it's clear to me that it's just another thing you're avoiding. I want us to be friends Carter.... I want to be able to chill with you without there being feelings there but I can't do that when you're hurting and every time I see you that pain in your eyes kills me..... it kills me to see you hurting." Ronnie said.
"Who is Smoke and why was it so important that he talks to you?" I asked changing the subject. I didn't want to discuss my issues because to be honest I really didn't have any..... other than my potential child but there was nothing I could do about that until he/she was born. I waited for Ronnie to respond and for a second I thought he wasn't going to say anything but he leaned back against his bed and shrugged.
"Me and Antwan have been looking for my family....... and I asked Devin if he could help me out and he came through. That dude Smoke said he may have a lead so me and Antwan are planning to go check it out next weekend." Ronnie said.
"Oh okay...... look I'm about to go back to my room but there's one thing I need to hear you say. Tell me that Antwan is who you pick..... and I'll accept it." I said lying my ass off.
"Antwan is who I wanna be with........" Ronnie said and I nodded, I was going to think of another why to split them up but it looks like I was going to need Romeraux's help after all. I walked back into my room and my phone was blinking, I really wanted to ignore it but I couldn't, when I opened the text it was from Bianca my potential baby mom telling me she was in the hospital..... Fuck....................
