Brittany Hills Chronicles: Act 2

Black 71

Mookie is clowning while Breion avoided us at all cost, we were grabbing a bunch of shyt for our cookout tomorrow and of course, Mookie was making a big production out of grocery shopping but he made that shyt fun. I was debating on whether or not to invite my mom but after our last family gathering I highly doubted she wanted to be around Terron, and I knew for a fact that Terron didn't want to be anywhere near her, plus I wasn't feeling her new boyfriend and I knew if she came more likely than not she'd bring him as well. I looked down at my phone really wanting to call Slim because I needed my haircut but every time we linked up it led to sex and I wanted some form of control before I saw him again which would either be tomorrow or later tonight, you know it's bad when you own a whole barbershop and still had no one to cut your hair. I elected to send Slim a text mainly to remind him about the cookout tomorrow but also because......

"Stephon, admit it bro..... you're on the edge." Mookie whispered quietly and I looked at him confused because I had no idea what he was talking about. "You're on the edge of love, trust me I recognize the signs; you've been checking your phone nonstop all day, whenever you're thinking about Slim you get this little tinkle in your eye, and when we were on our way to the store you damn near broke your neck when you thought you saw Slim's car.... then tried to play it off. Breion may have missed it but you can't hide that shyt from me." Mookie said.

"Actually I thought I saw your mom but it was only a school bus." I said walking off but of course, Mookie caught up to me with a evil smirk on his face. "What you got smart to say Mook? I'm not trying to discuss my feelings with you because you are no offense but you have a tendency to use that shyt against me."

"You sound like a whole female right now Black, when have I ever used your feelings against you? My point exactly, but we're bros.... best friends and this is the one subject I should be able to help you with so what's the deal?" Mookie asked.

"I'm feeling him, there's know denying it..... and it's not like we have to get to know each other because we've been boys for years I feel like the sexual tension has always been there and now were just making up for lost time." I said.

"That's understandable but just be careful and go slow, and don't rush it because this is your first g-relationship and..... oh look there's Ronnie and Antwan." Mookie said, pointing down the ice cream aisle where my little brother and his boyfriend were kissing like they were the only people in the world. "What y'all scrubs in here getting?" Mookie asked smacking Antwan on the ass.

"We grabbing some snacks for our trip to Miami and Terron wanted some ice cream. What are y'all in here getting?" Antwan asked while Terron looked at me and I knew he was still feeling some type of way about me not telling him about me and Slim but that was something he was going to have to get over because last time I checked I was the big brother which meant I didn't have to explain anything to him unless I wanted to.

"Stuff for the cookout tomorrow, y'all might as well stay the night because y'all are going to be helping me cook." I said looking down at my phone and seeing that my mom had called, fuck here we go.... "Throw y'all stuff in my cart I'll pay for it. Wassup Mom?" I asked.

"Wassup? Is that how you talk to the woman to give you life? I can't say I'm surprised ever since you got your own house you think you can do whatever and whenever you want but you're never too old to get your ass whooped....." My mom said and I started to remind her that I've BEEN had my own house and that she was just living with me, matter fact she was still living in MY house, but to bring that up would be disrespectful. "I'm hurt that you're having a cookout and didn't invite me."

"Mom it's not like that.... Terron is going to be there and I don't want any drama between y'all." I said trying to remain respectful even though she was starting to get on my nerves.

"Ain't nobody worried about that boy.... I won't say shyt to him if he doesn't say shyt to me. And are you sure that it's not about Kwan, I noticed that you haven't been coming around as much since me and Kwan started dating." My mom said and I felt myself getting pissed.

"It's as you said mom.... ain't nobody worried about that boy, if you wanna come and bring that nigga with you fine but this is a party for Terron and his friends before they head to Miami but it's tomorrow if you wanna stop by and get you some food." I said walking over to Breion and punching him in the arm.

"What the fuck was that for bitch." Breion said rubbing his arm.

"Bro why did you tell my mom about the cookout." I said looking at him.

"I may have told my mom and you know they are tight.... even though I haven't told my mom that you mom is the reason my dad is in jail but I wasn't thinking but it shouldn't be a problem though as long as they stay away from each other." Breion said and I just walked off because when in the history of ever has family gatherings gone smoothly.

"This isn't what y'all had in y'alls cart." I said looking at Terron and Antwan.

"We weren't finished shopping and you did say and I quote "trow y'all stuff in my cart I'll pay for it' so you brought this upon yourself." Terron said and I really wanted to cuss his ass out but he had a point. After we left the store they followed us back to my house and I made them put up the groceries while I looked for a barber, I could've easily called one of my employees but I was extremely picky about who cut my hair and there was very few people I let cut it.

"What about that nigga Luka?" Mookie said and thought about it for a second, even though Luka and his brother sold me their barbershop Luka still freelanced every now and then and whenever he came through the line was out the door.

"Damn I didn't even think to call him but that's a good idea I'll call him and see if he's free." I said walking out by my pool and getting flashes of the time that me and Slim spent back here. "Ayy wassup bro you busy?" I asked when Luka picked up, one thing about me was that I hated texting, well mainly I hated waiting on response and felt it was much quicker just to call.

"Nah I'm chillin at the moment, why you tryin to go out or something? There's supposed to be a show tonight that I was thinking about checking out and I need a wingman." Luka said and as fun as that sounded I had too much to do tomorrow.

"I would but I'm throwing a cookout tomorrow and I really need my haircut and you know how I am with my hair." I said running my fingers through and getting pissed that I let it get this bad.

"Damn nigga you throwin a cookout and didn't invite me, Im lowkey salty but I got you although I might have to charge you double since you didn't want to invite me to your lil' BBQ." Luka said and I shook my head.

"Nigga you know you don't need an invite..... but what time are you coming so I can plan the rest of my day out." I said looking at Terron and Antwan talking through the window and I shook my head because they were supposed to be putting up the groceries.

"I can come now if that's coo with you..... but uhh is it coo if I bring my new little friend to this cookout?" Luka asked and I wasn't sure how that would go because.

"Josiah's going to be here..... are you sure you can handle both your 'little friends' being here. I want this shyt to be drama free so if that nigga is going to be on any mess then....."

"Nah he's laid back and I've already explained to both of them I'm single so I don't want them beefin over me because in the end, they'll both lose..... Josiah is coo and so is..... fuck I'll tell you the rest when I get there because it's a kinda crazy situation." Luka said hanging up.

"Black, Slim just pulled up." Mookie said walking out back and started looking at the grill. "If you want I can have this place cleared out so you can spend some time with your boo." Mookie said smirking and I was about to tell him to fuck off but then I thought about it.

"Actually yeah... I'm about to call Luka back and tell him to come through a little later because me and Slim got some things we need to talk about." I said referring to the fact that my dick was hard as fuck and he seemed to be the only person capable of helping me alleviate this problem..................................
