I'm going to get Quran and Semaj a bottom to share, not so much Semaj because he's still his usual, laidback self but Quran... yeah these last few days he's been entirely too damn angry... Granted I know he's dealing with a lot because of that shyt with Natalie, but him trying to take his anger out on Beaux was a bit excessive, I know why he's doing it.... he wants to make sure I don't go back to 'Old Jacobi' but I'm good.... Beaux is just a curious dude who likes to flirt. August was fine with it, I was fine with it, and Beaux's not complaining so even though I love my cousin, he needed to fall back. As we sat in my bedroom, I looked over at August... he just looked exhausted but he still managed to make it here for me and I loved him for that and I would never do anything to fuck up what we had going on. Clévon, Tripp, and Beaux were all cracking jokes, they were all high as fuck and seemed to be enjoying themselves but seeing them so happy made me wonder why I threw this party in the first place; hell I've spent more time in my room than I did down at the party and if I was being honest this party was for my boys more than me.......
"Ayy Cobi.... when are we having a REAL party?" Tripp asked breaking my concentration, I looked at him confused as fuck because this was a REAL party and if he didn't, believe me, he could check my bank account. "Nigga you know what I'm saying... a NO STRAIGHTS ALLOWED Party." Tripp said and that shyt sounded like a whole fuckin mess, I could hear the faint echos of all the fights that were going to take place.
"Man it's going to be a couple of weeks before I throw another party, everyone is expecting this big graduation extravaganza but....." I stopped midsentence as August stood up and walked over to me, he leaned down and looked into my eyes, all he did was smile and my mind was instantly changed. "Maybe I'll talk to my dad and see what we can come up with." I said as August returned to his seat.
"Well if you're throwing two different parties then I need to start looking for some exclusive shyt.... one formal and one freaky." Clévon said and just like that I was suddenly throwing two parties..... August drifted in and out of sleep and I figured it was best if we let him rest, so we all filed out of my room and I noticed Beaux going into his room.
"Ayy you good?" I asked following him inside, he seemed coo when we first got upstairs but now he seemed distant. Now I know people didn't understand our friendship, but the best way I could describe it was a parallel to Quran and Tripp.... they knew what the other was thinking, they openly flirted with each other and made sexually suggestive comments and yet no one seemed to have an issue with their friendship.
"Yeah, I'm coo..... I think I'm just about to call me a ride because your cousin really pissed me off and I'm not trying to fuck up your party. So in the interest of peace, I'ma head out.... I'll hit you up tomorrow though." Beaux said walking over to the corner and grabbing his bag. I knew he had to be really pissed if he was willing to go back to his house, especially since I knew how bad things were for him at home.
"Beaux you don't gotta go anywhere.... look I'm going to talk to Quran, just stay here." I said walking towards the door but he kept packing up his shyt. "Nigga stop packing." I said throwing a sock at him, he smiled but I could see that the liquor was starting to cloud his judgment. I walked downstairs and the party was still going on, next time I was going to rent out a venue because I knew cleaning this place up was going to be hell, I searched around from Quran but couldn't find his ass anywhere. "Ayy have you seen Quran anywhere?" I asked Ishmael and Ishaan who were talking with Wally.
"I think I just seen him walk out the front." Ishaan said while Ishmael and Wally kept... talkin. I nodded and walked towards the front, acknowledging everyone who wanted to talk to me and turning down at least twenty offers to dance. I walked out the front and there were more people out here, Thank God my house was in the cut and my nearest neighbors were way down the road. I looked around and saw Quran talking with Semaj's brother Loyalty and from the looks of it they were arguing.
"Wassup Cobi?" Someone said stopping me and it took me about five seconds to realize who this was.
"LeTarius FUCKIN Savage.... when the fuck did you get here!!!" I said hugging him because this used to be my bro back in middle school, even though we went to different school he was always around before he moved.
"I've been here all fuckin night, trying to talk to your ass but you've been on the move but I'm glad I got to see you before I headed out." He said and I started to ask why he was leaving but I quickly got my answer when I spotted these two fem dudes waiting by a car.
"I see you're still at it...." I said smiling. "Damn bro.... I wished you were staying, we'll definitely have to link so we can catch up."
"Well, I'm free whenever.... except for tonight, ayy do you still keep in touch with Memphis and Gotti?" LeTarius asked and I shook my head, I hadn't heard from them dudes in YEARS. "Oh well... I guess I'll keep searching around for them, I'll catch you later bro, ayy remember me, you, and Quran are supposed to be linking next week." LeTarius said dappin me up, nodding towards Semaj who had just appeared next to me, and walking off.
"What do you think they're talking about?" Semaj asked and I knew he was referring to Quran and Loyalty, I wanted to be tactical about this but Semaj had other plans as he started walking down my long driveway to where Quran and Loyalty were talking in heated whispers. "What are y'all talking about?" Semaj asked scaring Quran.
"You cousin Joseph, I was of the mind that he needs to spend the day with some real niggas but your brother seems to think otherwise." Quran said looking at Loyalty, these niggas really needed to work on their lies because it was obvious that Loyalty didn't know what Quran was talking about and only caught on that he was supposed to lie after a glance from Quran.
"Uhh yeah... I fuck with most of your people Semaj, you know Noah is my guy.... I rocks with August and the rest of them.... but that nigga Joseph, his fuckin mouth. I might end up breaking his face." Loyalty said.
"Y'all must think I'm fuckin stupid.... Jacobi, you talk to your cousin and I'll talk to my brother." Semaj said walking further down the driveway, Loyalty looked like he wasn't going to move but changed his mind because he knew Semaj was pissed.
"Cobi.... if you're wondering what we were talking about, I think it's best if you just left it alone.... you got enough to worry about." Quran said quietly.
"If you wanted me to know then you'd tell me..... but that's not what I wanted to talk to you about, I need you to lay off Beaux." I said and Quran's face contorted with rage. It's crazy how our roles had reversed, last summer Quran was the laid-back one with a hint of crazy while I was the hothead, now I was the calm one and he was always on ten.
"Cobi, it's clear that nigga wants to fuck you...." Quran said with venom in his voice.
"I'm trying to figure out why that's such a bad thing. I'm wit it, August is wit, and Beaux is still on the fence. I'm not hiding shyt from August... he knows and he's not bothered by it..... I know you're just looking out for me and I love you for that but bruh.... please, for me, fall back." I said looking into his eyes and I could see Quran's internal struggle. "I swear, I miss the old days when it was me and my dress shoe niggas.... ever since y'all BAF Niggas showed up its one headache after another."
"I would be offended by that.... if it weren't so damn true." Quran said smirking.
"Nigga I know it's true; you, Beaux, Loyalty, Joseph, and to some extent Torique.... all y'all niggas are crazy as fuck. I'm actually surprised I haven't been in a shootout because of one of y'alls crazy asses." I said smiling.
"That's because you've elevated to a more... sophisticated line of work." Quran said pointing to the tattoo on my arm. "Aight man, I'll give you and that nigga some space.... but I still got this feeling about him, but I'll leave it alone since you wanna be grown." Quran said.
"Preciate' cha..... now I think you should go talk to your dude, Semaj may wear dress shoes but he's got a different type of energy.... in fact, all them damn Cunninghams got that same energy.... I gotta go make my rounds for this party before I start hinting that it's time for them to start moving along." I said patting him on the shoulder and walking back inside. Thankfully Beaux's ass didn't leave because I would've been pissed, he was dancing with some flatback, pink toe and he seemed to be having a good time. Since everything was running smoothly, I told security to start wrapping things up in the next thirty minutes, I walked upstairs and into my bedroom where August was holding my phone with a sad look on his face.
"You missed a call.... I answered it, it was one of your uncles.... they knew I was your dude and asked me to pass along a message to you, they're having another meeting in a few weeks that you have to attend." August said quietly, I knew why he was upset these meetings usually required me to be gone for about two weeks. "Just thought I'd pass that along to you...." He said tossing me my phone.
"You don't want me to go, do you?" I asked sitting next to him.
"I want you to make the best decision for you.... I'll support it, I just figured that if you were ever going to miss one meeting it would be this one especially since.... it doesn't matter, no pressure from me what so ever." August said kissing me and climbing into bed. "Cobi it's coo.... how much longer is the party going to be going on for." He asked looking at me.
"I told them to start wrapping it up within the next thirty minutes.... after everyone is gone I gotta make a few payments and then....."
"And then the few people that live here will probably be fuckin in every room....." August said smiling and I thought he was dropping a hint, so I reached for his dick and he pushed my hand away. "Ayy as fun as that would be.... I'm fuckin tired, can we just chill tonight?" He asked and I nodded, he was trying... I was trying.... but our schedules kept coming in between us. I laid in bed next to him and August grabbed my arm and pulled it over him, I felt like shyt... especially since he was hinting at something coming up and for the life of me I couldn't remember what it was. I was thinking hard as fuck, I felt the answer getting closer and right as it was starting to form in my head......
"AYO QURAN AND SEMAJ ARE OUT THERE FIGHTING A GROUP OF DUDES!!!!" Clévon said busting into my room, but as quickly as he came he was gone and I knew he was going out there to help his cousin, just like I was about to go out there and help mine, regardless of it he was winning or not...................................
