I got back to the house and all I could think about was Raheim and what my 'boys' had said to me about him, was Rah really changing me or were they trippin, I mean I wasn't smoking as much as I used to and I wasn't going to the mall and ballin out like I had in the past but that shyt was old and honestly kinda boring now... I still played basketball though whenever I played it was with Raheim and the dudes from Brittany Hills, I was still cocky as fuck though now I let my demeanor do the talking instead of my words, and I was more willing to listen to other peoples problems than I had in the past.... Okay maybe I was changing but nothing about me changing was bad, like I had calmed down a lot since getting with Rah... nah it wasn't even that, the more I hung around Doonie the more I felt myself growing up. After everything he went through with Elijah I have seen firsthand the growth in him and I could tell he was a much better person than he had been in the past and I admire that about him. So you know what fuck them niggas, if they couldn't accept me for how I was then obviously they weren't really my friends, to begin with.
"Where's Rah? haven't y'all been glued at the dick tips since we got back from our trip?" Doonie asked as I walked into the kitchen.
"Fuck you Doonie, where's Elijah? Haven't y'all been glue together at the dick tips since we got back from our trip?" I countered and Doonie shrugged. "Exactly you worry about your dude and I'll worry about mine..... I saw Diante earlier." I said looking at him and Doonie shook his head.
"That nigga still on that same BS?" Doonie asked and I nodded. "Man that's your brother.... he's always expected me to fix his mistakes and I can't do it anymore, I got DJ and De'Vaughn to look after as well as my own life to live, so whenever he's ready to grow up I'll be there for him but until then....." Doonie threw up two fingers and I smirked.
"Diante's behavior is on you, y'all enabled that nigga so you gotta deal with the monster you helped create, but he seemed like he was spiraling outta control.... like he was throwing out all sorts of accusations like you were trying to steal his son away from him and how you're trying to turn me against him." I said.
"Well he's a little slow.... look I think I'm going to stay over Elijah's tonight, mom said she'd keep the kids another night and since you and Raheim fucked up my date last night we're going to try it again at his place." Doonie said standing up. "You know my rules, so we won't go over them but I need you to take a shower because you still smell like last night."
"Fuck you bro...." I said smelling my under arms.... okay maybe he had a point. After I took a long shower, I was laying in bed and I'm not going to lie I was missing Raheim, it wasn't just the sex that I missed either; when we were together it was like chillin with my best friend. But he was right we spent damn near every second with each other so maybe this time apart would be good for us.
"I know your punk ass ain't sleep." Raheim said from the door and I sat up so fast my head started hurting. "If you're wondering how I got in, Doonie was walking out just as I was pulling up. Now get your ass up, Ronnie and Antwan were talking shyt saying they could beat us in basketball so we gotta go put these nigga in their place."
"Oooorrrr..... we can get naked and lay up in bed for the rest of the day, now you know under normal circumstances I would be more than happy to beat them niggas in basketball, but we can't beat them niggas and you know it." I said smiling.
"That's not the point, it's a matter of pride... Antwan talks a lot of shyt when he's really not even that sweet, real talk Ronnie is the better player and the point of the game is to prove that to him." Raheim said.
"Let that nigga live bae.... I like your cousin though he's chill as fuck, now your other cousin is crazy as fuck." I said referring to Raheim's other cousin Courtney, that nigga is missing more than a few brain cells. "Now you got two choices; you can stand in the doorway looking mad that I'm not leaving this cool AC or you can strip down, lay across my bed with your ass in the air and let me eat." Raheim stood in the doorway contemplating my offer when someone started ringing the doorbell.
