This one is on me, I take full accountability for me and Elijah being laid up in bed sick as fuck... scratch that I was sick as fuck while Elijah just had the sniffles, but let Elijah tell it he was dying; this dude hadn't sneezed or coughed once yet he was moaning and groaning like he was about to keel over or something. Do I regret the circumstances that led to us being sick? Nah because it was some of the best sex I've ever had and I'd do it again in a heartbeat, I got out of bed and shuffled across the room to see who was at my door; when I opened it DJ and De'Veon were standing there with some chicken noodle soup, orange juice, and some cough syrup. They, of course, were doing the most, wearing masks and gloves, but it was the thought that counts; though I had a feeling that they were using this as an excuse for neither of them to go to school. I took the trays of food over to the bed and looked at Elijah he looked completely miserable but still sexy. De'Veon and DJ stood by the door and I could tell they wanted something.
"Y'all are taking y'alls ass to school tomorrow...." I said looking at them while Elijah tried to pour some of my soup into his bowl. "Why are y'all still here and more importantly where's De'Vaughn?" I asked wondering where my adopted son was because I hadn't heard him cry all morning.
"He's on the couch watching cartoons, he's good Doonie chill..... now I need some money to order me and DJ some food because there's nothing down there.... that I wanna cook." De'Veon added because I knew for a fact there were two whole refrigerators full of food. "But uhh... I just wanted to let you know I got a couple of people coming over." De'Veon said.
"Who are a couple of people?" I asked raising my eyebrow while also smacking Elijah's hand because he had killed his entire bowl of food and was now reaching for my bowl... ol'greedy ass.
"Uhh... Raheim, Andre, uhh.... Myles and Rocco." De'Veon said avoiding my eyes. "Look we need to air some things out and since all of them, niggas are skipping there's no better time than the present. I mean you were the one who suggested that we all meet up and let Raheim introduce himself to my boys." De'Veon said.
"Who is going to watch De'Vaughn and DJ?" I asked moving the tray of food to my nightstand because Elijah was really trying it.
"We're going to be in the basement, DJ will be up in the living room and I was thinking De'Vaugh could come in here with y'all.... his immune system needs to be exposed to some germs or you could call Mateo to watch them for a couple of hours." De'Veon said and I thought about it for a second; since cutting off my parents I really didn't have too many options.
"I don't even know if Mateo is busy or not so this is what we'll do; bring De'Vaughn in here and I'll keep an eye on him, DJ can go in his room and watch movies. If he needs anything he can come and let me know and I'll get it. Now as for you and your little friends; don't touch any of my Crown Royal, don't be down there fighting, and try to keep the noise to a minimum." I said laying back in bed.
Once everything had been set up, I turned on the t.v. to watch Maury and one of the million court shows. Honestly, this made me smile because I remember how me and Elijah used to skip school and do this same shyt in between our sex sessions. He must've been thinking the same thing because he looked at me and smiled, I couldn't help but smile back because even though some things have changed the most important thing had stayed the same and that was my love for him.
"So.... you were looking for a surrogate without me?" I said looking at him and he shrugged. "Damn Elijah, I thought this was something we were going to do together... as a couple.... and yet....."
"And yet I wanted to do this on my own because you have a really bad habit of trying to control things, sometimes it's cute but with this..... you know I've always wanted kids and as much as I love DJ, he'll always be your son." Elijah said.
