Lorenzo was taking this news better than I was, I knew he wanted to think positively but it was like one thing after another and I didn't know how much more I could take. 'Pressure makes diamonds' is what my dad always said but everything was really starting to get to me it was just too much, Lorenzo expected me to act like everything was okay but how was I supposed to smile about something like this? I watched as he played with the kids and he seemed so at peace with everything and I wanted to feel that same sense of peace........... I walked over and sat on the floor with Lorenzo and the kids, we didn't talk at all just watched as Ace struggled to crawl. He looked at me and started scooping over in my direction and Enzo rolld his eyes playfully, I can't help it if Ace was attached to me I smiled as he got close and then got hit in the eye with a toy. Lorenzo started laughing as Ivanna ran into his arms.
"She really doesn't like me." I said rubbing my eye.
"Baby go say sorry...." Lorenzo trying to hold back his laughter as Ivanna looked at me and shook her head, I started fake crying then she walked over and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
"Is okay Leggy don't cry, sowwy." She said rubbing my eye causing it to hurt even more. I pulled her into my arms, threw her into the air then catching her. She seemed to enjoy that even more than watching me and Enzo do push ups.
"Okay time for bed." Lorenzo said after we played for a few more minutes. After they were both in their beds me and Lorenzo sat in the living room not saying a word....... "So I've been considering having my prostate gland removed. It's the best way to treat the cancer and I think it'll be the safest, don't worry I'll still be able to fuck you afterwards it just going to feel different for me, since I won't be able to bust a nut anymore." Lorenzo said smiling.
"Lorenzo are you sure you wanna have surgery? I've seen you with a cold and you can barely function so I can only imagine what your going to be like after surgery." I said looking at his eyes. "But seriously if you think that's what is best then I'll be by your side all the way." I said kissing him.
"There's something else........ I know you wanted to wait until Cam got back to get married but I want you to take care of all my medical stuff and the only way that can happens is if we're married or we do a power of attorney, so it's up to you on which option you wanna take." He said kissing me, I climb on his lap and started biting down on his ear, knowing that was his weakness.
"Tell me where y'all are going for y'alls trip?" I whispered in his ear and he pushed me off and smacked me with a pillow.
"I knew your ass was up to something when you pulled that one-eighty. I'm not telling you, y'all have y'alls little trip and we have our but I can promise you this Leggy, our trip will be better than y'alls and the women's." Lorenzo said climbing on top of me. "Who's all going on y'alls trip." Lorenzo asked grinding against me.
"Me, Devin, Blaze, Will, Alex, Shoo Shoo, Seven, Tyson, Emilio, Young Mon, Dro and Ricardo. I'm not sure if Mique is coming but I know Devin invited him." I said looking in his eyes.
"So.... I'm not worried about him trying anything because I don't think he's that type of person." Enzo said kissing me again. "Aight so now that we got that out the way are we getting married or do we gotta get a power of attorney?" He asked.
"Okay you win we'll have the wedding when Cam gets back and we can go down to city hall tomorrow and do a quick wedding. You're a brat you know that?" I said running my fingers through his hair. My phone started ringing and I knew only one person that would call this late. "Wassup Bro?" I asked smiling.
"Wassup Legacy." Cam said quietly. "So I was kinda bored last night and decided to call Nico......... now imagine my surprise when Iman answered the phone." Cam said and I could feel his anger almost 8,000 miles away.
"Cam we didn't want to stress you out even more than you already are." I said trying to calm him down.
"Legacy, what's going on back home? Everyone has been real tight lipped and asking me how I'm doing, you wanna know the truth I'm going crazy because when I left everything was a fuckin mess and all I'm doing over here is coming up with fucked up scenarios of what could possibly be going on, so please...... please don't lie to me, what's going on?" I could hear the sorrow in his voice and I was torn, one one hand the more he knew the more stressed out he'd be, but on the other hand not know was possibly worse. Just when I decided to tell him Lorenzo took the phone from me.
"Cam listen here's the quick run down, everyone is doing fine Khalil and Marcus are still fucking like rabbits, Zyshaun is still annoying, Devin and Blaze are great, Liberty won't stop talking, all the kids are getting too damn big, too damn fast and everyone misses you like crazy especially your siblings." Lorenzo said quickly. "Because punk your job isn't to worry about us, your only job is to make sure you bring your bitch ass home." Lorenzo said handing me the phone and walking upstairs.
"Cam he went upstairs to check on the kids." I said shaking my head.
"Tell Enzo when I get home I'm beating his ass, I've been hitting the gym everyday and I'm not going to go easy on him just because he's getting old." Cam said laughing.
"So what exactly did Nico say when you called?" I asked wanting to know just how muc I had to relay to Devin and them.
"I didn't get a chance to talk to Nico, because Iman's bitch ass started talking shyt saying how he hopes I die in a bombing or some shyt, so I owe him an ass-whoopin and Nico too for having that nigga in his house. When the fuck did he get out anyways?" Cam asked, I gave him and quick rundown of Julius helping Iman get out and I could tell Cam was pissed.
"Look Devin wants to let it go Cam, he feels like if Nico is happy with Iman then maybe we should just let them do their own thing away from us." I said.
"Devin has gotten soft, I'm going to beat Iman's ass and that's that....... I'll leave Nico alone because he's Devin's best friend but other than that it's no holds barred." Cam said. "I'm going to have to call you later, I'm about to go eat this nasty ass food I swear when I get home I'm having every single one of y'all take me to a different restaurant and I'm not paying for shyt." Cam said.
"Aight bet, I love you bro..." I said quietly.
"I love you too, make sure you tell Enzo I'm coming for him." Cam said laughing before hanging up. I walked up stairs to find Lorenzo sitting by the window watching the rain fall.
"Why didn't you tell him the truth?" I asked sitting next to him.
"Baby imagine being eight thousand miles from home, you find out one of your brothers has cancer, one of them just found out his best friend tried to have his fiancee killed, your wife is pregnant, you have another brother and the dude that's stalking your brother in law is still on the loose. How would you feel? Cam doesn't need that kind of stress, the less he knows the better." Lorenzo said.
"I get where you're coming from Lorenzo but when he gets home he's going to be pissed." I said imagining the temper tantrum Cam was going to throw when he got home, which almost made me smile. "Then there's the fact that his best friend is getting married without him." I said quietly.
"True but we'll deal with that when he comes home, now let's finish discussing our talk from earlier. We gotta let everyone know because I've gotten in enough trouble with y'al for keeping secrets and we don't need anymore right?" Lorenzo said kissing me.
"Right." I said pulling my shirt off and letting him take me to a place of sexual bliss.............................
JULIUS
I sat in a room tied to a chair, how the fuck did they find me? Matter fact who the fuck were these dude, because I've never seen them before? I got hit in the face again by the smallest dude but honestly he hit the hardest, I felt my nose break and there was nothing I could do to stop it.
"Who....... who sent y'all........" I managed to get out before getting punched in my mouth and swallowing a few teeth. "Bitch......" I said spitting out blood.
"Todos os covardes morrem lento. (All cowards die slow.)" The smallest dude said in my ear. I didn't know what the hell he said but the touch of his hand on my skin was the touch of death and I knew right then who sent them and my fear betrayed me, I knew I was about to die.
"Marcus I love you......" Those were the last words I ever spoke. The pain I was feeling now was nothing compared to the emotional pain I was feeling knowing I'd never see Marcus again. I just wished he knew what kind of man he was marrying because if Khalil was crazy enough to send them, who knew what he was capable of..................................
