Leave ME Alone

Tito in the MM

Money POV

"YOU WHAT?!?! On the holding cell table? While his uncle watched? Times Square, you didn't..."

"No no no Money. It wasn't like we had sex," Tevin replied, "we were in the process of starting there and his uncle just so happen to walk in on us. As soon as he appeared, we both jumped back. I promise."

The two of us are relaxing at Tevin's place as he's telling me of his escapades with Marcus. I didn't know or even thought that since their first encounter that this would happen.

But it did. So what should I tell him?

"Tevin," I start, "I know you're new around here and as a freshman you have to get in good with the upperclassmen to secure..um, security on the campus; but I think you should stay away from Marcus, Trey, Travis or any other junior-slash-senior that comes your way. You know, to avoid a reputation."

"Even if that means staying away from you?"

"If it means that no one can judge you, then by all means."

"Oh my God. You really mean that? Please Money, don't push me away."

"Times Square, Im kidding!! Damn, I can't believe you're this gullible. You know you my brother now, I could never leave your side. As a friend, I couldn't be that fraudulent. You feel me?"

"I feel ya. And speaking of fraudulent, can I ask you a question?"

"Sure. By all means.."

"Why won't you come clean to Beaut'Ful or, ya know....everybody else about your feelings towards Travis? I mean, I know I covered for you in front of her, but Im a little curious as to why you're lying to yourself. Why?"

I just blankly stare at him as if he didn't just read the hell out of me. Even when Im seen cornered in these situations Im quick on my feet. So I come clean.

"Well, I didn't think I would ever have this convo, but...here we go. I don't have feelings for Travis, but we did sleep together sophomore year."

"What??!!??!! Money!!!!! Why is this the first time I'm hearing this? Wait, is this the first time you're telling someone this?"

"First off, I didn't know you well enough to tell. Simply put, didn't think we'd end up this cool for me to tell you this; especially not this early in our friendship. And to answer you're next question, no. You are not the first to know. Tito knows."

"Tito? You mean, Travis and Trey's friend? You told him?"

"God no!!!! I always intended on this going with me to the grave. Had I known that Tito was already aware, I wouldn't even be repeating this out loud."

"Start from the top Money."

"Okay...it all started at a kick back. Not that wild shit we just went to. An actual kickback, back to when Travis and Marcus were sophomores with me and had none of the campus power they have now...."
