I had been back from Memphis for a few days but no one knew that I had returned because I had been chillin in the house, I had a lot to think about; the job interview went great and they wanted me to come back in a few weeks for a second interview. Memphis was a beautiful city and I would love to move down there, but something.... or rather someone was keeping me here and therein lies my problem. I knew exactly which one was keeping me here but I was afraid to accept it because I knew I would be hurting the other one; in a few short months, Duron had come a long way it was almost like he was a different person yet completely the same. Luka was..... in my eyes perfect, yeah he was young but he was more mature than me at times and when we were together.... it was magic. Like I said I knew exactly who I wanted to be with but I was also cutting off a great guy.... and then there was the problem with the job, IF I decided to take the job would the person I picked be willing to be in a long distance relationship or be okay picking up and moving entirely? I laid in the living room with the A.C. blasting thinking about 'him' when a knock came at the door, I got up and opened it to find Jaire standing there.
"I knew your big headed ass was back..... so this what we do now? Opening doors ass naked?" Jaire asked not even trying to hide the fact that he was checking out my body. "Kolby's body is better." Jaire said pushing past me and I rolled my eyes. "How'd the job interview go?" Jaire asked sitting down on the couch, I elected to ignore him and grudgingly go put on some clothes when I walked back downstairs Jaire was making himself a sandwich.
"Damn you just made yourself at home didn't you?" I asked watching as he made a mess in my spotless kitchen. "But to answer your question it went good, they want to me come back in a couple weeks for a second interview." I said and Jaire nodded.
"That's what's up Elijah..... I'm proud of you bro..... so hypothetically if you get the job are you going to take it?" Jaire asked and shrugged. "Elijah, if you get the job I think you should take it, I mean you worked you as off to get to this point and not taking the job would be.... a waste of your potential." Jaire said.
"I mean there are plenty of jobs here.... sure they're not as good as the one in Memphis but still..... and I'll cross that bridge when I get to it right now I wanna know two things; one do you plan on cleaning up your mess and two what made you come over here?" I asked and Jaire smirked a little.
"Yes and because I hadn't heard from my boy in a few days and I wanted to make sure you were aight? Is that okay with you?" Jaire asked stepping into my face, I smirked a little bit and shrugged. "That's what I thought, but seriously though I needed to talk to you." Jaire said sitting down. "So I made a deal with Camden Cunningham for my security software and I wanted you to be the third to know..... after my mom and Kolby of course." Jaire said smiling.
"So when should I expect my check? I know I better be the second person to receive some money after your mom of course; hell after everything you put me through I deserve some form of reparation.... no shade towards Cash though." I said smiling.
"You know I'm going to take care of you bro..... but I gotta know which one did you pick? Luka or Duron?" Jaire asked and I froze. "Come on Elijah I know you better than anybody..... I know you've made your decision." Jaire asked and I shrugged.
"Yeah I made my decision.... it's time or me to grow up and stop playing with these men's heart; Terico is getting ready to move to Pittsburgh, him and Brittney are expecting a child and getting married. Serenity is getting married to Roy's crazy ass in a few weeks..... I picked the person who I couldn't live without, even if it's long distance." I said walking in the living room.
"I'll support whatever decision you make Elijah..... Now go put some real clothes on we gotta go somewhere." Jaire said smirking........... An hour later we were pulling up to Jaire's house, Cash and Khris were in the middle of the road playing basketball; but that wasn't the only thing that I noticed, in front of Jaire's house was three motorcycles and Jaire looked at me and smirked. "Come on Elijah you promised you'd ride with me one day and I'm holding you to that. Look you need some time to clear your head and there's nothing more relaxing than riding a motorcycle so come on Kolby is waiting." Jaire said parking the car.
After spending the day with Jaire and Cash riding around the city we went back to Jaire's house and Jaire decided to have a little barbecue; Khris was still practicing on the basketball court and I definitely had seen a lot of improvement since Jaire had taken him under his wing. Jaire and Cash flirted and were always smiling at each other which made me smiled because I was glad to see Jaire finally happy. As I sat there watching Jaire's family almost in perfect sync I got two text messages one from Duron and one from Luka; I decided to open the one from Duron first and it was a video of him and DJ standing in the kitchen.
"Elijah when you get back we want PANCAKES!!!!" DJ yelled before he started running around the kitchen, Duron looked at the screen and winked because the video ended and I shook my head I told him about using DJ against me, but I wasn't mad though, then I opened the one from Luka.
TODD: Ayy you know I'm mad at you right 😠😠😠 you were supposed to call and let me know how the interview went..... you still my boo though.
I shook my head and smirked he was so...... I glanced over at Jaire who was talking on his phone his face tense with worry, something was going on judging from the look on his face. I got up and walked over to him but he was already on the move.
"Jaire what's going on?" I asked but he was moving a thousand miles a second.
"Jaire what's going on?" Cash asked as we both followed him around the house but he wasn't hearing either one of us. "Jaire where are you going?" Cash asked as Jaire tossed clothes in a bag, fuck this I left Cash to deal with his boyfriend while I went to check his phone; the last person who called was Emmanuel.... okay now I was really curious.
"Emmanuel, what's going on with Jaire?" I asked calling my older brother.
"Elijah........ it's complex..... Jaire will be fine I just need him to come and take a little trip with me. We'll be gone a couple days." Emmanuel said hanging up before I could ask some more questions.
"Umm...... okay how are we going to do this...... aight here's the deal, Khris you'll drive Elijah home, Kolby you'll take me to Emmanuel's house..... I should be gone a couple days but I'll call ya'll when I land." Jaire said not making any sense whatsoever, what the hell was going on that he needed to drop everything like this and hop on a plan with my brother?
I got back to my house and kept waiting for Jaire and Emmanuel to call or at the very least text but as hours upon hours went by and still nothing I knew something was definitely wrong. The rain smacked against my window like tiny pellets and the sound was making me anxious....... why did I feel like I was being left out of something important. I paced around the living room thinking, tomorrow I was going to see Ethan to see if he knew what was going on with Emmanuel and Jaire if anyone should know it would be him. As I stood in my living room, the lights flickered before going turning off completely..... fuck now the power was out and I knew that the electric company liked to take their sweet ass time getting the power back on in black neighborhoods, God, I wished 'he' was here I thought to myself as I stumbled around lighting candles when a quiet knock came at the door and my heart started racing.
"Elijah..... it's me....." He said quietly and that only made my heart beat faster. I opened the door slowly and he stood there completely soaked, his long hair plastered to his face, the white beater clinging to his body, and the shorts he was wearing showing the outline of his dick. "A little birdie told me you were back and I had to see if it was true." He said looking into my eyes, he stepped inside without invitation and looked around. Call it fate or coincidence that he showed up right when I was thinking about him; he looked around and the mood just seemed right. Now wasn't the time for words or anything.... I just led him into the living room leaving a trail of wet clothes behind us..............................
