Exiled

Quran 34

It was difficult but not impossible to get out of the house and surprisingly Jacobi was more than happy to help me stage my escape; at first I was a little skeptical because we didn't have the best relationship but once he explained that the only reason he was helping me was because he may need my help staging his own little breakout sometime this week then I understood why he was doing it. Once I was out the house I found Semaj waiting with his cousins and I hopped in the backseat and we drove to Semaj's house, honestly, I couldn't lie his cousin Noah was coo as fuck.... I wish I could say the same about Noah's best friend Toussaint, I mean he wasn't annoying just extremely cocky like he was a king or something and I wasn't the type of nigga to bow down to no nigga. As I sat there with Semaj I listened as Toussaint went on and on about how he was ready to go back to Tex-ASS and then spend some time on his dad's private island.... like who the fuck owned an island, only rich ass people with nothing else to do with their money.

"Y'all seem coo ass fuck, maybe I can talk to my dad and he'll let me invite y'all to come visit some time, hell I think I've earned it after all the hard work I've put in these last few years." Toussaint said and I tried my hardest not to roll my eyes because as a boxer it was kinda a gift to be able to read people and Toussaint my seem cocky but I knew the difference between people who were cocky because they werer insecure and people who were cocky because they were confident and Toussaint seemed extremely confident.

"Saint chill out bro....." Noah said without taking his eyes off of the only female in the room which was his girlfriend Jade, their connection was different than Saint and Mario's relationship... Saint and Mario seemed like they were in love, always finding a way to touch each other, having silent conversations with their eyes and smiling at each other like they were sharing a private joke. Noah and Jade seemed..... a trillion times more intense, they didn't touch as much as Saint and Mario but the way Noah looked at her....... it was like he was waiting to kill anyone who'd dare harm her or even approach her and Jade seemed to absorb Noah's attention and give it back without saying a single word, it was like they were the only two people in the world. "Hold up.... this is Juelz I gotta take this." Noah said getting up and walking to the back patio.

"Quran come with me downstairs real quick." Semaj said getting up and thankful for an excuse to leave I followed him downstairs to the kitchen. "You need to chill." He said with a little smirk on his face. "Quran every time that nigga Saint say something you look like you're ready to take his head off, he's not that bad and Noah swears he's coo as fuck."

"I'm just the type of person who likes to sit back and observe people..... your cousin seems coo as well as his girl and that dude Mario, it's just Saint NEVER. STOPS. TALKING." I said shaking my head. "Plus I was hoping that me and you could spend some alone time together...." I said licking my lips.

"Well if it's like that then I have no problem kicking them out my room, plus I'm sure Clèvon and August can keep them busy for a few minutes." Semaj said and as badly as I wanted to say yes, I knew how important family was to him. "Well, in that case, I think we should go out on a date.... you know now that I think about it you've never taken me out on an official date yet.... what kind of boyfriend are you?" Semaj asked laughing.

"Ayy we're equal in this... you could've taken me out on a date, and I have taken you out on a date remember when we were in Columbus? I took you to a place that was very near and dear to my heart so it's your turn." I said smiling.

"Yeah you're right... don't worry I'll think of something good." Semaj said as Saint walked into the kitchen smiling arrogantly.

"Quran you mind if we talk?" Saint asked and I looked at him for a second before nodding, we walked out to the pool and Saint started laughing as if something was funny. "You don't like me do you?" He asked.

"Not really..." I said looking into his eyes, which made him laugh a little harder. "What's so funny?" I asked growing irritated.

"Let me guess.... you think I'm cocky, which I am. You think I'm a spoiled little rich kid with no understanding of the real world and that's where you're wrong....." Saint said and for the next hour, me and him talked and by the time we were finished I think we had a mutual respect for each other. I chilled with them the entire night and I almost forgot that I had to 'work' today.... Semaj dropped me off and promised that we'd link up later, I crept around the side of the house and thankfully Jacobi was waiting like he said he would be and let me into the house.

"My mom thinks that you're in the gym so you need to change into these...." He said handing me some shorts and a beater. "I umm... kinda need another favor, whatever happens today don't leave me with Pastor Teague." Jacobi said and even though h said it like it was nothing, the fear in his eyes told me that there was something far deeper going on than I realized. After taking a quick shower and putting on some church clothes me and Jacobi drove to meet up with Pastor Teague and I can't lie I was tired as fuck but I had something to keep me motivated to stay up.

"That bitch ass nigga ain't even here yet." Tripp said as we walked up to the church, he was sitting on the stairs rolling a blunt as if he didn't have a care in the world. "Honestly it's like eight in the morning and I'm already over this bullshyt.... hopefully he doesn't have us doing anything too crazy because I'll be pissed."

"Brother Thaddeus do you really think you should be cussing in front of a church? Or smoking that stuff in front of the Lord's house?" A voice said walking up and I turned to see Pastor Teague standing there but more importantly, I noticed how Jacobi tensed up at the sound of his voice.

"Don't call me Thaddeus, I hate that name and I have no problem cussing in front of a church because nowhere in the bible does it say I can't and God created weed so I'm just showing my appreciation for his creation. Besides my mouth will be a whole lot worse if I'm not high as a kite." Tripp said getting up and I almost laughed because this dude was something else.

"I'll be letting your mother know your thought this Sunday at church but we have a lot of work to do and no time to spare so Brother Quran, Brother Thaddeus do y'all mind getting those boxes out my truck, Brother Jacobi I have a different job for you." Pastor Teague said and the more he spoke the less I liked him.

"Actually Pastor I do mind... I would much rather if me and my cousin worked together, no offense Tripp but me and Jacobi work well together and I feel like we'll get a lot more work down together than we would apart." I said daring Pastor Teague to say something and when he couldn't he smiled and walked into the church calmly. "Sorry I had to throw you into the fire Tripp but something tells me he won't say anything to you." I said and Tripp smirked.

"That's because he knows my dad is crazy and that little threat he threw out about telling my mom doesn't carry any weight because my mom knows I smoke and she knows I cuss so it's not like she'll say anything to me about it. But let me get in here before Pastor Pedo gets pissed." Tripp said putting his blunt out and walking into the church.

"Thanks Quran...." Jacobi said quietly and we stood there awkwardly because we were still getting to know each other.

"Cobi.... has Pastor Teague ever tried anything with you?" I asked and he looked at me, his eye confirmed everything but he shook his head 'no'. "Cobi I know we butt heads at times but you know you can talk to me about anything right?" I asked looking at him.

"I think we should get these boxes, I'm trying to get done early so I can meet up with Jerell a little bit later." Jacobi said walking off, seeing him so scared forced something in me to wake up, this was my cousin and as I've stated in the past I was extremely protective of my family so during the entire time I was working for Pastor Teague I was going to be watching him closely and the second I felt like he was going to try something then I was going to let his as have and pray for forgiveness afterwards........................
