Same nigga that you knew way back when. You actin' like it's somebody you don't know. Tell me how the fuck we supposed to stay friends. When you got a bunch of feelings that you don't show. -Drake

*La'rey P.O.V*

I watched as Roman jumped up and down hugging this guy whom I've never met. I cleared my throat as their giddy jumping came to an abrupt end. Roman straightened out his shirt, and looked at me.

" La'rey sorry. This is my cousin Jayln. Jayln this is La'rey. " He introduced us as he held out his hand.

I smiled and extended my hand into his. " His boyfriend La'rey. He left that part off. Nice to meet you. "

" Oh! It's my pleasure. " He smiled, excitedly.

" Rey would you mind if he came in? " Roman asked, grabbing my hand.

" He doesn't steal does he? " I joked, but was serious as hell.

" Rey. " Roman eyed me.

" It's cool. I would ask as well. No I don't. " He said, pleasantly.

" Well then come on in. " I stepped aside.

They both reenter the house. I shut the door behind us as Roman walks them towards the living Roman to make introductions. I couldn't help but feel slightly neglected. Now that his family is here does this mean I won't be getting that much attention? We all walked near the living room where Hayden and Theo were, but the introductions had already began...

I looked on as Roman spoke with such excitement just by this one person being here. They began to chat with the family for a minute. I remained quiet because I was undoubtedly jealous. I stood near the wall as they were conversing. The front door opened up, and I looked back to see Faizon. He nodded to me as I returned the gesture.

He began to approach me. I held out my hand as he smacked it. He was about to speak when he saw Jayln and Roman talking with everyone. He nudged me and I looked at him. His eyes darted between Roman and I. I motioned for him to follow me to the kitchen. He walked away as I looked once more and walked off. I went into the kitchen as Faizon was pouring him some orange juice in a glass.

" Who's that dude? " He asks, straightforward.

I walk over to the opposite counter and hop onto it. " That's his cousin. "

" I didn't really think he had anymore family. He barely talks about them. " Faizon commented.

" That's what I was thinking. " I shrug.

" Why you looking down? What's wrong twin? " He asks, crossing his arms.

" I mean... " I sigh. " I'm glad for him and all but where does that leave us. I feel like I'm working super hard to get this nigga to be happy and crack a smile but he has shown me constantly that he isn't happy here. "

" But that is always how he's been since high school just real secluded. Has he told you this? "

" In more ways than one without saying it directly. I'm losing energy for it at this point. " After I say this Roman walks into the kitchen.

" Hey my cousin and I are about to go out for a minute. Just wanted to let you know. I'll be back soon. "

I looked into his eyes as he stood in front of me noticing his joy. " Alright babe. Call me if anything. " He leaned in to kiss me. Our lips planted and he wiped the side of my lip afterwards.
