Elijah's anger shouldn't have been funny but I couldn't stop laughing; he was mad at Serenity for cussing him out over some of the wedding plans, he was mad at Terico for quote 'acting like a straight bitch', and he was mad at Emmanuel for still fuckin with Genevieve and it was times like this I was glad I was an only child. But the person who got it the worst was his mom... apparently she showed up to his house with a bunch of her belongings claiming that she was moving in with him and knowing Elijah that definitely wasn't happening. So yeah he was pissed and his anger temporarily distracted me from having to make that phone call to Cash... though I knew it was inevitable it gave me a little more time to think about what I was going to say to him when I did call him. As the three of us sat in the living room, Jamarious pulled up a fat sack of weed and began rolling up, I didn't have a problem with him smoking in the house but when Halo moved down here he was going to have to either go outside or take that shyt somewhere that Halo wouldn't see him.
"So basically I came over here to smoke, not with you but with Jamarious...." Elijah said clearly over everything that was happening. "I can't believe she really thought she was about to move into my house, I don't even fuck with her like that and I hate that she got evicted but that's not my problem." Elijah said taking the freshly rolled blunt from Jamarious.
"Did I tell you about the time your mom tried to fuck?" Jamarious asked causing me and Elijah to look at each other confused. "It happened the summer I turned seventeen.... remember when we went to that party and we were too scared to go back to Jaire's house because we were drunk as fuck?" Jamarious asked and we both nodded. "I got up in the middle of the night to take a piss and she walked in and started flirting with me but by then I was too far gone by then." Jamarious said shrugging.
"See I'm just going to keep quiet." Elijah said shaking his head. "Jaire hit the blunt...." Elijah said smirking and I should've known, whenever Jamarious came around this type of thing ALWAYS happened; Jamarious would come up with a plan and Elijah would pressure me into it but things are different now and things have changed.
"Nah I'm good, I'm a role model now and I got students who look up to me." I said pushing the blunt away.
"How much do you wanna bet that if you made your team take a random drug test all of them would fail?" Jamarious asked and that was a bet I wasn't willing to take, I would like to think that my boys weren't getting high but I knew better. "Jaire don't act like you don't smoke because I know for a fact you've smoked a few times, so live a little."
"Man aight...." I said figuring what the hell, I took the blunt from Jamarious and three blunts later I was feeling it. One of the main reasons I preferred not smoke was because it always made me horny and it also fucked up my judgment, case and point; before I started smoking I was thinking about Cash and now that I was high I was tempted to call him up but that would only complicate things. "I'm hungry as fuck....." I said chuckling, another reason I didn't like being high was because I was always laughing at something.
"Fuck it, let's order some pizza." Jamarious said but then he quickly backtracked. "You know what, I'm not craving food.... I'm bout to call that nigga Bryce." Jamarious said getting up and five minutes later he was walking out the door.
"How're things going with Duron?" I asked because I much rather talk about Elijah's life than my own drama.
"Things are good.... we're still working on building a stronger relationship and Duron has been nothing short of perfect but I feel like he's still walking on eggshells like he's so worried about messing up that he's becoming.... safe." Elijah said quietly.
"There's nothing wrong with 'safe' Elijah." I said looking at him.
"I know.... but I don't want Duron to be safe, I got with Duron because he had this edge to him, this roughness to him that I'm not seeing anymore. Like there were times before the split that Duron would walk in the door, rip my clothes and fuck me where ever but now...." Elijah trailed off but I could see where this was going.
"Elijah you gotta look at it from Duron's side as well.... back then it was just you and him, now it's; you, him, DJ, De'Veon, Raheim, and De'Vaughn.... y'all need some time to y'alls selves and I'm not talking about a couple hours, y'all need like a week or something where it's just the two of y'all. When y'all split it was just you and him and now you got a whole family..... I'll tell you this though, I've seen the change in Duron and I'm sure if you approach him with your concerns he'll listen."
"So who are things going with you? Have you spoken to Cash yet?" Elijah asked and this was really a subject I wanted to avoid because the way I'm feeling at the moment, I might end up doing something I'll regret tomorrow. "It's okay if you haven't, these things take time and it's better to sit back and gather your thoughts before making any decisions..... but a word of advice, go out and fuck something." He said which caught me off guard.
"I... I mean.... what?" I asked trying not to laugh because this wasn't a conversation I wanted to have with him.
"Jaire.... I've known you damn near my entire life and you have two modes; angry sulking Jaire and happy/fun Jaire and I've noticed that when you're getting a steady stream of ass you're the latter and can I just say that Jaire is so much more fun because he's not killing the mood." Elijah said and I swear it sucked having a friend who knew you so well. "You know what I'm going to call Samson and Niño." Elijah said reaching for his phone but I quickly grabbed his hand and shook my head.
"Nah I'm trying to hold off on that.... but you may be right, I do need to fuck something." I said but also realizing that I really didn't have any I could call for some casual sex; sure I knew that I could call Niño or Samson because given our conversation earlier they were both more than willing but my head was telling me to take things slow with both of them, and I could call Cash but for the reasons I stated earlier. "So what's going on with this party? Is it still on or what?" I asked once again changing the subject.
"It's next weekend for sure, then after that, it's all about that damn wedding which I'll be glad when it's over because planning a wedding is exhausting." Elijah said and I was glad that was something I didn't have to worry about for a while, if ever. "So when are you and Cash going to talk?"
"I don't know.... I don't know what I'm going to say to him, hell I'm not even sure I'm ready to look at him. What he did was fucked up and I know I played a role in it because of my feelings for you but I can't control what I feel.... but he knew what he was doing when he cheated on me." I said quietly. "And now you've officially blown my high....." I said as Blue ran into the living room and jumped on Elijah's lap.
"Let's do something tomorrow.... I need to get out of the house and I know you're not doing shyt, so I'm thinking laser tag or paintballing something that will distract me for a couple hours... matter fact why don't we invite everybody, we can draft teams and put some money up." I said standing up.
"Aight.... I'll put out the call once I eat and wake up from my nap, but I need to get outta here and pray that my mom isn't staking out my house or worse that she hasn't broken in." Elijah said dapping me up and walking out.
Now that Elijah was gone, I had some time to think; one of my biggest mistakes was getting into a relationship with Cash knowing that I had feelings for someone else and since the chances of me and Cash getting back together were practically nonexistent I didn't want to make the same mistake. I knew Samson and Niño were both feeling me, they might even be feeling each other but I didn't want to jump into anything too serious so I was going to have to set some ground rules and establish some boundaries.
"Damn you back already?" I asked as Jamarious walked into the house.
"Yeah Bryce had to handle something but we're linking up again tonight..... so where'd Elijah go?" Jamarious asked and I told him that he left. "Aight well I'm about to go to sleep and then we're going out tonight." Jamarious said and I figured why not, I've been trying to get Cash out of my head and going out would be the best way to do that and who knows maybe I'll meet someone who could help with the other problem I was having...........................
****** QUESTIONS ******
1) Who should get the next two chapters; Duron, Elijah, Luka, or De'Veon?
2) Is Elijah wrong for not letting his mom move in with him?
