Gay. (Royce)

Chapter 26.

"I'm coming home, just not yet." I said to Imani who was waiting for me. "Calm down."

"Baby, I miss you." She whined in a cute way. "You won't be able to hit it no more."

"No!" Harry yelled. "I'm coming now."

"Oh and I'm sorry for taking an extra shift." She said. "Okay, I'll see you later."

Imani sighed and hung up. She rubbed her forehead. She worked at a hospital as a nurse for ER patients that request her, which is often.

"Imani...." Jacob said. "Can we eat ice cream?"

"Sure, Jakey." She laughed. "So, you wanna talk about that letter Chresanto sent you?"

Jacob got the ice cream and sighed. It's been weeks since he read that letter. He hasn't heard from Chresanto in a while. He looked at Imani as he tore open the ice cream. He scooped a big scoop for himself and the same for Imani.

"He may be dead." Jacob said.

"Whoa!" She said, standing up. "Let's back this shit up. Talk this shot out to me."

"He said that he felt like he was gonna die, but tomorrow makes it the second year he would be over there." Jacob said. "I wish Harry was here, he would be good with keeping me leveled."

Imani looked at Jacob and sighed. She felt how said he was. She was also sad he hasn't been there in a few weeks. The fight they recently had was the worst. It was their first fist fight.

"Oh...." She said. "Well, I'm taking you to the hospital with me tomorrow. No take backs!"

"Oh lord." Jacob smiled. "That receptionist loves flirting with me."

"It's 'cause you're so scrumptious." Imani laughed. "So who wouldn't?"

Jacob felt his cheeks burn with a blush. She shook her head and laughed. They finished their ice cream in a comfortable silence. That's when they heard keys jiggling at the door. Harry walked inside with a nice sweatsuit.

"Harry!?" Jacob yelled.

He ran to Harry and jumped on him. Harry chuckled and held his best friend back. Jacob kissed his cheek and squealed like a female. Harry felt his sweatpants falling down. He picked them up as much as he could.

"I'm so sorry." Jacob said, getting down. "It was immature for me to tackle you like that."

"Yeah, it was." Harry said. "But we gave to talk."

Harry grabbed Jacob and they nodded. Harry would talk to him later. Harry walked inside the kitchen to see Imani sitting crisscross-applesauce on the island. She had a emergency book open, reading a client's papers.

"Hey Imani." He leaned over he shoulder and looked at the paper which she quickly hid. "Lemme see babe."

"No!" She laughed. "OR NAHHHHH?"

He laughed, but she said he couldn't due to the privacy of the patient. He grabbed the paper and laughed, but Imani was nervous. He grabbed the paper anyway.

"He got hit by a car?" He said with sympathy.

"Okay, that's it...." She said trying to grab the paper. "That's enough."

"His name is...." Harry growled. "Craig Crippen?"
