Exiled

Jacobi 63

I tried to keep calm thinking about everything that had happened today; Pastor Teague was dead which meant I should've been thrilled, August was here with me which should've made my heart soar, and me and Quran were starting to bond in ways I never thought possible.... and that was the issue. I could barely meet his eyes thinking about what my dad may have done, the memory that I had long forgotten had come back and now it was all I could think about.... My dad arguing with somebody on the phone, then another phone call where he seemed to be speaking in code, then a week later finding out that my uncle had been murdered and now here I was sitting next to my cousin knowing that if he ever found out..... nah I needed to ask my dad first, I didn't want to jump to conclusions or start spreading false information that could destroy this brotherhood that me and Quran were trying to build. While everyone sat around the firepit laughing and telling stories about their craziest memory I sat there quietly wondering if I should tell Quran the truth......

"Truth or dare Cobi......" August said breaking my chain of thought and I guess they had switched to truth or dare in fact they must've played a few rounds already because Tripp was sitting there completely naked as if he didn't have a care in the world. "Damn you aight?" August asked and I nodded.

"Uhh truth I guess....." I said shrugging.

"Aight how many nigga here have you done ANYTHING sexual with?" August asked smiling and I tried not to punch him in his perfect face, see these were the kind of questions that ruined relationships but I wasn't afraid to reveal my body count so I looked around and counted.

"Three.... Victor, Naz, and you....." I said and August nodded before kissing me. "You're the best I've ever had though." I said winking and that seemed to boost his ego. "But it's my turn I'm guessing so Q, truth or dare?" I asked looking at him and Quran seemed to be lost looking into Semaj's eyes.

"Dare... because I'm not a bitch and I'll do anything as long as it's respectful to my dude." Quran said finally breaking his gaze away from Tripp.

"I dare you to kiss Tripp." I said wanting to cause just a little chaos in the group, Quran looked at me for a second and then at Semaj who whispered something in his ear. Quran nodded and got up, walked over to Tripp who was already standing and I couldn't tell you if they kissed or not because I used the distraction to pull August away from the group. "I gotta tell you something." I whispered quietly as we reached the lake.

"That was kinda fucked up... how would you feel it my cousin dared me to kiss my best friend." August asked smiling.

"I needed a distraction... but like I said I gotta tell you something." I said quietly.

"Baby, Cobi... there's nothing to worry about, someone killed Teague before we could get to him, you don't ever have to worry about that nigga ever again." August said grabbing my hand. "You don't have to worry about anyone fuckin with you ever again because if they do I'll handle it." He said.

"I think it was my dad." I said looking into his eyes. "He found out what Teague was doing and he... I always knew he would do something crazy." I said shaking my head.

"I always knew there was something about pops that I fucked with..... I gotta buy that nigga a bottle or something." August said laughing.

"I also think he's behind Quran's dad's death." I said ad August instantly stopped laughing. "Look a couple years ago I overheard my dad arguing with someone on the phone.... it was right around the time that Quran's dad was murdered and according to Quran they never caught the person who did it... what if, what if my dad was the one who ordered the hit?" I asked quietly.

"The only way to know is to ask.... look I think I have a pretty good read on people and I don't think your dad would pull a stunt like that then invite Quran down here to spend the entire summer. So if you want tomorrow while these niggas are doing whatever we can drive up there and talk to him." August said. "I just find it hard to believe your dad would do something like that, he seems like the type who will kill to protect his family not order someone to die in cold blood."

"Maybe you're right...." I said looking back up at the firepit. "Come on let's get back up there before these niggas start thinking that we went to fuck or something." I said laughing, when we got back up to the group Quran and Tripp were still kissing. "Damn y'all still going at it?" I asked wondering why no one had thought to stop them.

"Semaj told me to make it interesting." Quran said shrugging as he sat down next to Semaj, I looked at Tripp who seemed unphased by the kiss and then there was Victor who.... well that nigga looked like he was ready to jump on top of Tripp and ride his dick.

"No lie your cousin is a damn could kisser.... my dick was hard the entire time, now if y'all excuse me....." Tripp said leaning over and whispering something into Victor's ear, I thought they were about to head back into the house but they started kissing then right there in front of all of us Victor started sucking Tripp's dick.

"Damn y'all niggas is wild...." A voice said from over my shoulder and I turned to see De'Vaugh and Scorpio standing there and I already thought that De'Vaugh was coo as fuck, but if he had what I thought he had in that large brown paper bag then I would be that nigga's best friend. "So where y'all want me to place these bottles?" De'Vaugh asked. After me and Quran help De'Vaugh with the bottles and it was weird to see him so at ease.

"You alright Cobi... you've seemed kinda distant since we found out about Teague?" Quran asked and I shrugged. "Man come on Cobi you know you can talk to me, I thought that this whole situation with Pastor Teague would've proved that."

"I'm good nigga damn... I just it's a lot to take in, the nigga that's been terrorizing my life for the past few years is dead and it's killin me that I wasn't there to see it, it's killin me that I wasn't the one to put a bullet in his head and it's killing me that I have to live with the fact that maybe if I would've spoken up sooner this all could've been avoided." I said fighting back tears, Quran walked over to me and tried to hug me but I pushed him back. "NIgga you just had your fingers up Tripp's ass while y'all were kissing, I don't want your hand anywhere near me." I said and for a second we looked at each other then started laughing.

"Seriously though Jacobi if you wanna talk, you know I'm here... and you can blame Semaj for me fingering Tripp, he's the one who told me to do it." Quran said smirking.

"Ayy take it from me if there was ever a chance to have an orgy now is that time.... I tried to tell you The Verse Vacation is about bonding; mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually." I said smirking.

"Nah I don't think people would want that... me and Semaj's relationship is still kinda new, kissing Tripp is one thing but letting that nigga smash my dude...... I don't think I could go through with that." Quran said.

"Semaj was right Quran... you are boring, nigga let your fuckin nuts hang and enjoy this, I'm telling you if you and Semaj's relationship is as solid as y'all make it then a little orgy with Tripp and Victor should even leave a crack in y'alls foundation. Hell, look at me and August we're planning something we just gotta find the right...." I couldn't finish my sentence because someone had walked into the kitchen.

"Sorry to intrude but Tripp told me to stop by...." Chris said standing there, in his Marine uniform.

"Come on in... grab yourself a drink and get comfortable, we just got some alcohol so the real fun is about to begin..........." I said smiling and Chris looked a little apprehensive at first but then I saw his body start to relax a little... There were a lot of things that I wanted to accomplish this trip and the second thing is to forget about Pastor Teague and with Chris here maybe he could help me move on from this shyt but the first was the conversation that I needed to have with my dad ..................
