Chapter 45: For The Rest of Your Life

Before we got to the house, Manny and I changed into those outfits we bought earlier. When we did get to the house and got inside, I was surprised to see that my aunt, uncle, and cousins were there.

"You guys ready for dinner?" My mother said as we walked in. "Yeah, what we having a get together for?" I asked thinkin' that they knew about this all along. "We're having one more dinner before your aunt and uncle leave tomorrow." my dad told me. "Oh ok cool, lets eat." I said walking to the table. I can't help but grin from ear to ear as I sit down and Manny sits next to me.

"Damn, he musta hit it good for you to be smiling like that!" Kortney said before aunt Helen hit him. "Stop it now!" she said. "Naw it's cool, I'm just really happy." I said never resting my smile. "What are you happy about son?" my daddy asked me. "Well Manny and I have some news." I tell him. "Oh really, what news would that be?" My daddy asked almost like he knew where I was going with it. That's when Manny stood up.

"Well, the news is, I proposed to Willie and he said yes." Manny said smiling and crying at the same time. "Aw baby!" My momma said getting up and hugging me, then hugging Manny before he sat down. "Well congratulations!" My aunt Helen said. "Cuzzo's getting hitched, congrats man!" Kortney said smiling. "Thanks everybody, it means a lot." I said trying to hold it together. My dad cleared his throat and stood up.

"Willie I got a little confession son." he said. I got a little worried. "Please don't let it be bad news daddy cause I really don't want this moment to go to waste." I said nervously.

"Well here's the deal. I knew about the proposal." he said, I looked at Manny. "Manny asked for my blessing and I will admit I was reluctant at first. Then I seen his face when he said your name. I kid you not when I say it was the same way I look when I say your mother's. I don't what you've done to him Willie but you did a damn good job! I had to shut him up when he started talking about you." My daddy said with a chuckle. At this point I was crying and so was Manny.

"I can honestly say that you two belong together and if your marriage is anything like your mother's and mine, then it really will be til death do you part. I can see it in the way you look at each other, you guys are in each others souls. And as far as I'm concerned, Manny, you have more than my blessing son and I'm damn proud to call you that." My dad said. Manny shot up and gave my father the biggest hug.

"I love you... daddy." Manny said. "Love you too son." daddy said. Manny let him go and took his seat. My dad went into the kitchen and came back with drinks. We all grabbed a glass.

"This is to, the rest of your lives." my dad said lifting his glass. He took a drink and everyone followed. Even though it was marriage at a young age for us, I felt like I was ready, ready for the rest of our lives and whatever it had in store.

THE END.

Chapter 44: A Night To Remember

A star filled night sky on the beach is something I've never experienced and it was the most amazing sight to see. Manny and I were just laying in the sand holding each other. I could feel Manny's heartbeat on my back, if I didn't know any better, I'd say that his matched mine. I listened for a second and I heard it, they were beating together. I smiled.

“Yeah babe, we meant for each other, I hear it too.” Manny said holding me tighter. “Willie, you make me so happy baby!” he said kissing my neck. “Can I make you feel good right now babe?” He asked me. All I could do was moan. “I wanna hear you say yes baby. Only your voice can get me going.” he said kissing my neck again. “Make me feel good baby.”

Manny pulled down my shorts and his and pushed inside of me. I push back and help him in. “Damn bae, you stay tight!” He said starting to stroke. “Yeah daddy?” “Yeah, baby!” He said pushing deeper inside of me. I let out a loud moan. “You gon get us caught babe.” Manny said reaching down and grabbin my dick. “I don't give a fuck, just fuck me Manny!” I said putting my hand on his. “That's what I wanted to hear baby, I got you tonight baby.” he said pumping faster.

We didn't change positions. Manny kept fucking me like he had something to prove. “Damn nigga you hittin' my fuckin spot damn!” I said with each one of my words jumping as Manny fucked me. “Bust baby!” Manny said diggin' deeper than he ever has. “Shit nigga!” I screamed hitting the ground with my hand. Without warning my dick shot my nut all over the sand. “Fuck!” I said crying. “Damn baby that's deep!” I said to Manny. “Damn baby!” Manny said as he came in my ass. “Squeeze it Willie!” Manny said stroking my ass slowly. Before I could get a chance to say anything, Manny went down and ate his cum out of my ass. Damn did that shit feel good! “Damn baby, that feels so good!” I moaned to him. He came up and kissed me, cum in his mouth and everything. I reached my hand down and get some nut off my dick and smack Manny in the face, I start laughing. He looks at me and smiles.

“You crazy shawty, you know that right?” He said wiping his face. “That's why you love me!” I said cheesing. “You damn right Willie.” He said sitting next to me.

“You know everything is perfect right now?” he said looking to the sky.
“What you mean babe?”
“This night, me here with you, your parents, your family.” he said looking to me with tears in his eyes.
“Damn why you cryin babe?” I asked him.
“It's just I love you so much and I know you love me too.” He took a deep breath. “You made me a better man Willie and you been real understanding throughout our relationship.” OK, now I'm starting to cry.
“You gave me a lot too. And you gave me something, that I didn't think I could get again.” he said before sniffling.
“What's that?”
“Another father.” he said breaking down. I couldn't do anything but hold him and cry too. I knew he went fishing and everything but I didn't know how well him and my father bonded. It made me feel good to know that.
“Willie, I wanted to ask you something.” He said breaking from my hold. “What's that Manny?”

I swear time froze then went in slow motion as he reached into his pocket. My heart started beating faster than time itself. Manny looked me deep in my eyes. He wiped a tear off of my face.

“Will you Marry me William Handen?” He said opening a small box with a diamond ring in it. The diamond was huge too! I was at a loss for words. I started shaking and crying.

“Yes, yes, yes, I will!” I finally got the composure to say. Manny put the ring on my finger and hugged me tightly. “I love you so much Willie, I have to spend the rest of my life with you. I told you you got me and this is what I meant.” Manny said to mean. I could feel his soul in every word he spoke.

“I love you too baby,” I said letting him go. I kissed him and he kissed me back. He picked me up and walked me to the car. “Time to share the news babe.” He said kissing me again. I was so excited. This will be a night that I remember.

OMG I'm engaged!!

Chapter 43: A Day To Remember

This morning I woke up with my dick hard and still inside of Manny. Next thing I know, Manny is grinding on it. I can feel the cum from last night still sliding around my dick. “Babe what you doing we need to wash man.” I said pulling out. “No! I'mma make this dick nut again!” Manny said forcing himself back on it. “Dammit baby!” I said as he kept ass stroking my dick. It didn't take too long for me to bust cause it was that morning wood and you know it dosen't take too much to get those down!

“Fuck, I'm cuuming Manny!” I said as he started throwing it back faster. I feel myself emptying inside of Manny again. “Damn bae that feels good.” Manny said still lightly rocking on my dick. “Yeah it do..” I said letting my dick slide out of his ass. “You gone break me one of these days boy.” I said laughing. “Now come on we need to go shower.” I tell him. “Yeah, we got a day ahead of us.” Manny said getting out of the bed.

“What you mean?” I said walking behind him into the bathroom. “You'll find out baby, I promise.” He said smiling and starting the shower. “You are something else with all these surprises.” I said getting in the shower with him. “But you love it.” he said smacking my ass. We showered for about 30 minutes and I got to return the favor to Manny.

No sooner than we put our close on there's a knock on my door. “You guys off of each other?” My daddy asked from behind the door. “Yeah pops!” I said before he opened the door. He walked in looking incredibly happy. “How you guys feeling?” he said with a smile. “I'm good pops.” Manny said with the same smile, maybe even bigger. “What the hell?” I said looking at both of them. They looked at each other and laughed. “Come on, we're going to lunch babe.” Manny said getting up off of the bed and reaching out for my hand. “Good cause I'm hungry oh and confused.” I said getting up and walking out of the room with both of them.

We ended up having lunch at T.G.I. Friday's. Manny and my daddy are sitting next to each other across from me and my mama. “Willie and I had dinner here back at school, remember Will?” Manny asked me winking. “Yeah, we did.” I said chuckling. My mama and daddy look at each other confused as ever. “Not gonna ask.” My mother said. Manny and I bust out laughing.

“So what was you guys wedding like?” Manny ask. “It was one of the greatest days of my life.” daddy said. “Yeah, it was beautiful. I remember it like it was yesterday.” my mama said smiling. “Your daddy was a nervous wreck!” She said laughing and looking at my dad. “Well of course I was, but in the end it was everything I wanted to be.” my daddy said looking at my mama then kissing her. I looked over at Manny to see him smiling at me all wide eyed.

After we were done at Friday's, we headed over to the mall. I don't know what it was but it was really nice spending time with my mama and daddy with Manny. We were like friends on a double date. Everything just seemed so right. At the mall, Manny and I bought new outfits and Manny being Manny, got something that matched mine, awwww.

We got home early at night and Manny told me not to get comfortable. I took this time to freshen up in the bathroom. Once I finished up, I looked to see where Manny was. I found him talking to my pops. I didn't want to spy but I couldn't help it. Sounded like he was getting directions to somewhere, IDK.

“Hey babe, you ready to go?” He said after seeing me behind him. “Yeah.” I said walking in front of him. “You got me babe you really do.” He said grabbin my waist. “You crazy, what you talking bout?” I asked him. “You'll see, babe. At the end of the night.” he said kissing my neck.

Damn, why he always gotta be surprising me!?!

Chapter 42: Be Good To Him

I come back into the house and head straight to my room. I didn't need to be told that my dad and Manny were back, I could smell it, and it was not a good smell! I walk into my room to see Manny in nothing but boxers and socks on.

“Ugh, nigga you stank!” I said to him sitting on my bed. He came over to me and tried to kiss me on the lips but I was not having that. “Oh stop that babe!” he said smiling. “Uh uh, nigga, go wash your ass!” I said laughing. “Alright babe, you win.” he said kissing me on the cheek and walking towards the bathroom. He stops at the door and looks at me. “Oh my God, I love you so much Willie!” He said with a big ass smile on his face.

I don't know what it was but something had happened with Manny. That time that he had spent with my father had put a whole new thing in his swagger. I'm happy to know that they were getting along so well.

“Yo! Where's my son at?” My dad says busting in my room. “Dang pops! I'm right here.” I said laughing. “Yeah, that's all well and good, but I was talking bout Manny.” he said just crushing my spirits. “Oh he's in the shower.” I told him. ”Well tell him I need to talk to him.” “Alright pops, I got you.” I said. With that, my dad left the room.

Ok my dad and Manny have gotten real buddy-buddy, what was going on?? I just laid back on the bed and dozed off. I started dreaming again.

It was pretty much like the one I had on the plane. This time I was alone and just looking around. THEN I SAW THAT SAME MAN I SEEN LAST TIME. THIS TIME HIS FACE WAS CLEARER AND HE DID LOOK LIKE MANNY, AN OLDER VERSION.

“YOU PROBABLY WONDERING WHY I KEEP POPPIN UP IN YOUR DREAMS.” HE SAID TO ME.
“YOU HAVE NO IDEA, ARE YOU MANNY'S DAD?” I SAID WITH A LOOK OF CONFUSION ON MY FACE.
“YES WILLIE I AM. MY NAME IS RICARDO BUT OF COURSE YOU CAN CALL ME DAD.” he said shooting me a look. “WILLIE YOU HAVE MY SON'S HEART AND I ONLY ASK ONE THING OF YOU.”
“WHAT'S THAT SIR?” I ASK.

“Be GOOD TO HIM.” HE SAID WITH A FIRMNESS.
“ALWAYS.” I CONFIRM
“YOU CAN TELL HIM I APPROVE.” RICARDO SAYS TO ME. “YOU CAN BET I WILL! HIS REACTION ALONE IS REASON ENOUGH TO TELL HIM.” I SAID WITH A BIG SMILE. “NOW I KNOW HE'S DOING THE RIGHT THING.” HE SAID WITH A CHUCKLE.

“WAIT A MINUTE, WHAT DO YOU MEAN?” I ASK.
“TELL HIM HE'S DOING THE RIGHT THING TOO.” HE SAID TO ME AGAIN, PUZZLING ME AGAIN.
“EVEN THOUGH I'M COMPLETELY LOST I'LL TELL HIM.” I SAID CONFUSED.

“Babe, wake up you talking in your sleep again fathead!” Manny said hittin' me with a pillow. I look up to see him smiling at me. I pull him down to the bed and kiss him. “Wassup babe, how you feeling?” Manny asked me. “Well, I'm happy and confused.” I said chuckling.

“What you confused about?”
“It's complicated to explain.” I said putting his hand in mine. “Ok Willie, my confused boo!” he said laughing. “Babe, can I tell you something?” I ask him. “Willie, please don't start off a question like that!” he said forcing a laugh. “It's nothing bad, I just had a dream and someone said they approve.” I tell him. “Really and who would that person be?”

“Ricardo.” I answered. He stopped moving completely. “Wait babe who?” he said holding me tighter. “Your dad baby, Ricardo.” I said again. I was silent again. I really hope I didn't upset him. “Manny you ok babe?” I said as I turned around to see Manny crying. I was use to seeing him cry but this was different.

“I never told you his name Willie.” he said crying. “I know babe.” I said pulling him into a hug. “Willie babe, you're it!” he said holding me. “He said something else too babe that I didn't quite understand.” “What's that baby?” He asked me.

“He said you're doing the right thing.” I said. Manny looked at me like he knew exactly what it meant. “Come here man.” Manny said pulling me too him.

He kissed me like it was the last time that he was gonna do it. I was right there with him returning this passionate kiss. He started taking my clothes off and caressing my body. “I love you so much Willie.” “I love you too baby.” I said taking his pants off. I don't know what it was but Manny was harder than a diamond! Lol. I get on top of him and grind against him. “We going all the way babe, all the way.” He said to me. I had no idea what he meant but I know that I'd find out soon enough. Manny picks me up and takes off the rest of my clothes. I take off his boxers, grab his dick, and stroke it. “That feels good baby.” he said to me. I said nothing and kept stroking him. After another minute I was ready to devour it, so I did. “Dammit Willie that's good baby. I love you so much.” Manny said thrusting his hips putting his dick deeper inside of my mouth. “Alright.” Manny said as he snatched his dick out of my mouth and flipping me over. He opened my ass and ate it like it was his last dinner! I start to moan uncontrollably from the greatest feeling I could get at that moment. Manny was attacking my ass with his tongue, I was shaking and everything. He comes up to my ear and grinds his dick on my ass.

“You're all mine right?” he asked me. All I could do was moan. “Right baby?” he said, this time biting my ear. “Ahhh, yeah baby!” I said even though I wasn't really sure that I said it as clear, lol. “Baby, I'm all yours.” After he said that I felt his dick pushing inside of my ass. No condom, no cover, just skin to skin, passion to passion. “You love me don't you?” he asked me. It felt so good all I could do was nod my head. “I love you too baby.” Manny said in between strokes. He had me in another world. “Fuck bae that's good!” I call out. “You like that shit baby?” “Yeah baby!” I said as I got on top of him and rode it like I stole it! I was grinding, sliding, and jumping on it and Manny was going crazy. “Damn you wild tonight baby!” he said losing his breath.

“Let me get it now.” he said taking me off of him then laying me on the bed. He climbs on top of me and starts riding me almost as well as I did him. Manny started kissing on my neck and rocking on top of me hard. “Fuck Willie I'm coming!” Manny said as a puddle of cum formed on my stomach. He started riding harder and I felt myself getting ready to cum. “Baby, I want you to cum inside of me, I need you to.” Manny said nibbling on my ear. That's all it took, Manny landed on my dick once more and I shot deep inside of him. We let out a moan in unison and Manny rest on my chest. “I love you so much baby and I can never say it enough.” Manny said. “I don't think there's enough words to express how much I love you Manny.” I told him as I got ready to get out of bed.

“No!” Manny said before I could get up. “Sleep in it.” he said as he rolled both of us so we were spooning. “I got you babe.” I told him. “Yeah, more than you know babe, more than you know.”

What the hell?? LOL. I'll find out soon enough I guess!

Chapter 41: Old Friend, New Willie

I got some good sleep last night. Not because of the fact that my man was there, but the fact that him and my father were on good terms. When I brought Reed over, that was just not a good event at all. Reed said something like 'Fuck your pops!' or 'That nigga don't know me!'. My dad over heard and shit hit the fan. Now that I look back at it, it was funny as fuck!

I roll over to find that my bed is empty. I shot up real quick and looked around, Manny wasn't anywhere in the room. I immediately hopped out of bed and walked to the kitchen. I seen my mother in there making herself a cup of coffee, ew!

“Ma, where's Manny?”
“He's with your father, they went fishing.” She said taking a sip out of her mug. “Oh god he's gonna kill him and dump him in the river!” I said jokingly. “Oh stop it, he's gonna be fine.” “Yeah, you're right.” “You should go see the town baby.” my mother said. “You know what ma, that sounds like a good idea.” I said walking over to her and kissing her on the forehead. “Your dad has been driving your car so if you see any scratches, it was him!” She said with a laugh, I laughed too and headed to the room.

I hopped in the shower and cleaned my nooks and crannies. Hopped out the shower and threw on a white tee and some sweats, I wasn't going anywhere important. My mother was in the living room when I walked out there. I kissed her on the cheek and told her I was gone.

When I tell you that I was excited to see my car, omg!! I jumped in and blasted my girl Beyonce! (Y'all know she the queen so don't act like she ain't!). I drive around town and see some familiar places. After my lil tour of the city, it was about time for lunch, I pull into Burger King and decide to go inside.

“Can I help you?” the person ask me. I look down from the menu and lock eyes with someone who I really did not want to see. I feel old emotions flare back up. I catch myself and act as if it was someone I didn't know.

“Yeah, can I get a Double Whopper Meal and instead of fries, can I get onion rings?” “Yeah, what size drink Will?” he said tryin' to make me get me to be buddy-buddy with him. “Large.” I say looking around.

He rings me up, I pay him, and get my change. “So how long you been here Will?” “Not even 24 hours Drew.” I say to him holding back what I really want to say.

You KNOW where I'm going with this!. Drew is the ex-bestfriend that slept with Reed. It's not the fact that he slept with Reed but the fact that he was messy about it after he did it, ugh I couldn't stand seeing his face. He came back to the counter with my food. “How long you gone be here?” he asked me as I grabbed my food.

“Why you worried bout it??” I said with an attitude. “Man Willie, why you gotta be like that!?” He asked. “Cause you fucked my man DUH!!” I said so all of BK could hear me! Yeah, he shut up real quick with that. “Man calm that down, I just want us to be friends again.” Drew said.

“Yeah, no, that's not gonna happen!” I said with a laugh. “You're far too messy to be my friend.” I said. “Man you changed!” he fired at me. “You damn right, cause Old Willie would've been like 'cool lets chill later on' but New Willie say screw all that!” I said walkin' away. “I guess Max ain't too messy then huh?” he said thinkin' he did something to my emotions, he didn't. “Stop embarrassing yourself before you get fired lame!” I said opening the door.

I got in my car feeling hella good, now it was time to go back home and see my man!

Chapter 40: The Family

Manny and I get off of the plane then go get our luggage. As we make our way to the entrance we notice that no one is here to pick us up. I know I told my parents the time that we were gonna be there, so why were they not there? How did this look on my part? I've hyped up my family to Manny and this is the first impression? Wow. I looked at Manny, turned around and started to walk back inside.

“Where you goin' nephew!?” A voice called out to me. I turned back around to see my Uncle Ron and Aunt Helen. I dropped my things and ran over to them. The last time I seen them, I was a junior in high school. “Man you lookin' good nephew!” uncle Ron said. “Thank you.” I said letting go. “It's been a minute since I seen y'all.” I said excitedly. “The twins here?” I asked them as Manny walked up beside me. “Of course, they excited to see their cousin.” aunt Helen told me.

“So who is this here?” uncle Ron asked looking Manny up and down. “I'm Manny, Willie's boyfriend.” Manny said extending his had. My uncle shook it and said, “Oh OK. You treatin' Willie right aren't you Manny?” with a firmness in his voice. “Of course, I don't think he would've brought me if I wasn't.” Manny said with confidence.

“Alright Manny, you good with me man.” my uncle said with a smile as he took some of the bags from Manny. “Yeah Will you sure do know how to pick em, he's a cutie!” my aunt Helen chimed in. Manny started blushing as we walked to the car. “Yeah, he can be a bad boy sometimes too!” I said. My aunt and uncle started laughing. Manny looked at me as if I said too much.

On the way to the house, we were just tellin' them about our time in New York. It goes without saying that I told them about the lil incident. My aunt and uncle seemed kinda surprised at what happened. Well not really what happened, but how I handled it.

“Man, Willie you ain't shoot nobody!” uncle Ron said.
“Oh yes, yes he did.” Manny said laughing. “Wow Willie, that's something!” aunt Helen said. “Yeah, it is.” I said with a smile. “But y'all seem to compliment each other and that's good.” my uncle said. Manny and I just looked at each other and smiled.

We pull up to the house and as I get out I'm greeted by my cousin Kortney putting me in a headlock. “They here Kevin!” Kortney yelled towards the house. “Look who all growed up!” Kortney said not loosening his grip. Manny looked and smiled. “Yeah, don't make my growed up behind kick your ass!” I said hitting him in the gut, he let go. Manny laughed. “What's so funny Yella Boy!?!” said a voice as they approached Manny. I already knew who it was, Kevin.

“Look at this nigga Kortney.” Kevin said as Kortney walked over there. “What's your name Yella?” Kortney asked. “Well it damn sure ain't Yella.” Manny said with some bass in his voice. “Oh, Kevin I think that he think just cause he got a deep voice we suppose to be scared.” Kortney said tappin' Kevin shoulder and laughing. “Naw, we ain't shook pretty boy, what's your name?” Kevin said.

“Manny.” he said not backing down. This was funny to watch. My family loved to grill the dudes I brought home.

“Manny? What kinda name is that?” Kortney asked laughing. Kevin started laughing. “Well I could ask the same thing about Kortney couldn't I?” Manny said. Kortney stopped laughing and Kevin just laughed harder. “What you don't like my name?” Kortney asked. “I never said that man.” Manny said holding back a laugh.

“Well I don't like your name either, Manny!” Kortney said with force. “OK, that's cool cause Willie does and that's all that matters soo....” Manny said shutting down the convo. I couldn't help but smile. He handled himself well.

There was a silence. Kevin and Kortney looked at each other and then back at Manny. Then they started laughing. “You good Manny, we was just grillin' you!” Kevin said with a laugh. Manny laughed too. We went to the trunk and got the luggage out of there.

When we step into the house, we're greeted by the smell of food and boy did it smell good. “Took y'all long enough to get back in here.” aunt Helen said.

“Oh! There's my baby.” My mother said rushing over to me. I met her half way and gave her the biggest hug I could possibly give her. “I missed you baby!” “I missed you too mama!” I said hugging her tightly. “Alright woman let him go now!” my dad said. As soon as my mother let go, I wasted no time giving my dad a big bear hug. “How you been son?” “I've been good pops.” I said patting him on the back. “That's good to hear.” he said letting go. As soon as he did, both him and my mother looked at Manny.

“So who is this fine gentleman we have here?” my mother asked.
“I'm Emmanuel but everyone calls me Manny. It's nice to meet you both Mr. and Mrs. Handen.” Manny said extending his hand. My mother just looked at his hand for a second. “Boy if you don't get over here and hug my neck!” My mama said opening her arms and stepping towards Manny. Manny hugged her and then let go.

“It's nice to meet you too Manny.” my dad said extending his hand meeting Manny's and shaking it. “You taking care of my son right?” my dad asked letting Manny's hand go. “Yes sir of course.” Manny said being super respectful. “Oh cut that shit out! Mom, dad. Mama, daddy. Your pick!” My daddy said patting Manny on the back. “My bad dad.” I can tell Manny had a hard time getting that out.

“So you too hungry?” my mother asked both of us. “Oh yeah!” Manny said without missing a beat. “Alright then, go put your things in Willie's room, wash up and then come and fix yourself a plate.” my mama said. We both said ok and headed to my room.

“Wow Willie, you have amazing parents.” Manny said smiling. “Thanks babe, they really like you.” I said entering my room. “Man I missed my room!” I said putting my stuff down and looking around. “Nice room you got babe.” Manny said hugging me. “Thanks, you're sleeping on the floor.” I said walking out and smiling. He had that puppy dog look on his face. “Come on big head, I'm hungry.” I said walking out of the room, Manny was right behind me.


“Alright, there's ribs, macaroni and cheese, baked beans, and potato salad.” my mama said leading us in the kitchen. “Dang ma, you threw down!” I said grabbing a plate for myself and Manny. We both fixed our food and made our way to the table.

I sat down and soon joined by Manny and the rest of the family. I picked up my fork and my dad shot me the ugliest look. My dad said grace and then we ate. Manny and I told my parents about school and the trip to New York. And when I say New York, I mean everything about the trip.

“Now do you really think that was the smartest thing to do?” My dad asked me.
“It was self defense daddy.” I said to him. “I guess so. So Manny you blame yourself for puttin' my boy in danger?” my dad asked. The table got quiet, I stopped eating and sat back like, 'was this man fa real?'

Manny looked at him. “Of course I do, the entire situation had nothing to do with him. It's my fault that he was in that position.” Manny said, I got mad. “That's bullshit.” I said not caring where I was at. “Watch your mouth.” my mother said as my daddy gave me one of those looks. “Fine, but it's not all Manny's fault.” I said getting up from the table. “Um, excuse me.” Manny said getting up from the table. “You're ok baby.” my mother said as Manny walked to the kitchen.

“That was not cool.” I said getting a drink out of the refrigerator. “But you have to understand that your parents are gonna put me on the spot Will and I'm more than ready to accept the challenge. I'mma do everything to prove my love for you to them, it's all good bae.” Manny said giving me a hug.

After my aunt, uncle, and cousins left, there was a still in the house. Manny, my father, and I were watching the TV. My daddy kept stealing looks at us, especially when Manny put his arm around me. “Willie, can I talk to Manny for a minute.” my dad asked. “Yeah, no problem.” I said not moving. “Alone!” my dad said raising his voice, I got a lil agitated. “It's cool babe, remember what I told you?” Manny said pushing me up off the couch, ugh. I walked in the kitchen with my mother.

“Mama, really?”
“Willie, you know how your father is, don't act so shocked.” My mother said. “But at the dinner table, he don't think I can take care of myself?” I asked a lil heated.
“It's not that baby, he's just making sure Manny can.” she said to me. She made so much sense. Mothers like to do shit like that, as soon as you get mad about something your mother will make you look at it in a different way and make it seem less hostile.

“What you think they talking bout?” I said looking over there and noticed that Manny was sitting on the edge of the couch looking directly at my father. “Who knows, men are just that honey, you should know!” My mother said laughing then slapping me on my arm with a dish rag. I looked back over to Manny and my dad and seen Manny laughing then my dad joining. Maybe he was just shaking Manny cage.

Chapter 39: In A Dream

“It usually not that crazy honey, I promise!” Manny's mom said with a smile. “Now I'm gonna see you again right?” She asked handing me my luggage. “Of course, I'm a lil shook up but that's not gonna stop me from coming back.” I said giving her a hug. “Good!” she said with a laugh. After the last hugs, Manny and I boarded the plane.

The flight to my parents was a tiring one, I fell asleep the moment I sat down and we took off. I drifted into a strange dream, well it wasn't really strange it was just not very clear. I was surrounded by a white backdrop and I seen a face. I couldn't exactly make it out. For a minute I thought it was Manny but that thought was completely shot down when I was tapped on the shoulder. I turn to see Manny all dressed up and his whole body was glowing brightly. Then his mother appeared next to me and I looked at her. She smiled and I looked back over to where the man was. He just looked at us and smiled. Who was that?

Manny grabbed my hand and kissed it. When I seen my hand I was shocked, it was so bright that I couldn't see it. Manny said something but I couldn't make it out. It sounded like “Ahh to”. I looked at him and said what. He said it again and I still couldn't make it out. So I asked again.

“What?” I asked.
“What?” Manny said waking me up. I looked over and seen him crying. “Babe what's wrong?” I said wiping his face. “Just thinkin' about pops, I miss him.” As soon as he said that it hit me. “Would you say that you look a lot like him?” I ask. “You have no idea how many times people have said I could pass as his twin.” he told me. “Wow.” I said looking forward.

“What happened Willie?” he asked me concerned.
“Babe, I think I saw your dad in my dream.” I said. I really couldn't describe the look on Manny's face. It was shock, happiness, sadness, passion, and comfort all in one. “I love you baby.” Manny said hugging me and then kissing me. “I love you too.”

For the rest of the flight Manny and I just talked to each other. About the time we had in NY, the time we're gonna have at my parents, and the future. Manny was very excited to be meeting my parents.

“Do I have anything to worry about?” Manny said with a smile.
“Not at all, my mom and dad are cool people.”
“Ok cool. I mean some people got crazy ass daddies and crazier mamas!” he said making me laugh. “I love to see you smile.”
“Stop fuckin' with me, you just trynna get this ass!” I said licking my tongue at him. “Yeah, so what!?” He said then caught my tongue with his mouth and started sucking on it.

I push him off of me and he laughs. “Not funny nigga!” I said slappin' him. “Then why you laughing?” “Whatever!” I said to him.

“Please prepare to land.” The flight attendant says over the intercom. I look at Manny and he looks at me.

“You ready babe?” I ask him.
“As long as you ain't got no crazy ass niggas after you like I did in NY.” He said smiling. “I can't promise anything!” Manny started laughing then kissed me again. Something told me that this trip home was gonna change us.

Chapter 38: Fire

“You heard what the fuck I said, now do it!” Beat said getting frustrated. Manny looked at me with the most apologetic looked. Manny got on the bed and started to strip. Beat admired his body, and Manny's body was something to admire. “Damn baby, you been workin' out?” Beat said lickin' his lips. “Ugh, you motherfucker!” I screamed as I charged him. As soon as a start walkin', I'm stopped. He points the gun with the craziest look in his eye. “Looks like you're gonna be a problem, eh T get in here!”

I looked out the window to see Terry step into the room with a mad look on his face. “Watch him and make sure he doesn't do anything stupid!” Beat said to Terry. “Yeah, I got that.” Terry said walking over to me. “Don't hurt him!” Manny said. “Shut the fuck up! I'mma do whatever the fuck I want!” Terry said grabbin' both of my arms. I try to break his grip, but he was too strong. I look over to see Beat all over Manny. It made me sick to see him on Manny like that. I tried to look away. “Don't look away, I'll fuck you up!” Terry said punching me in the back. “Let me go!” I said to Terry. “Just let him go he has nothing to do with this!” Manny said.

“Oh yes he does, he popped off at the mouth so I told my cuz we should come over here and handle both of y'all.” Terry said as Beat kissed on Manny's face. “Come get this man.” Beat said to Terry as he held the gun out. Manny sees this chance and knocks the gun out of Beat's hand. I followed it with my eyes and dashed for it before it could hit the ground. Terry did everything he could to keep me from it but I wasn't about to let him get to it. Beat tried to stop me to but he was stopped by a punch to the back of the head by Manny. I grab the gun and Terry backs off. Beat gets up and rubs the back of his head. He gets ready to go for Manny but Manny runs to the bathroom. Terry and Beat get ready to charge me but before they can, Manny comes back out of the bathroom with a gun. “Where did you get that?” I said looking at him. “That day I left and I told you I had to get something, well this is what I had to get.” He said nervously. “Now we don't wanna hurt anyone, we just want you to leave.” Manny said giving his attention to Beat and Terry.

“Speak for yourself.” I said looking at both Terry and Beat. They looked at me with fear in their faces. “Beat you one sorry muthafucka you know that right?” He looks at me like I was out of my mind, well at this point I am. “How you gon come over here and try and rape my dude, again, and you the only that's strapped. Dawg you fuckin' stupid!” I said laughing at him. “Now Terry I don't wanna even get started on yo 'ol punk ass, as a matter of fact I don't even wanna talk no more.” No later than I finished my statement I shot Beat in his shoulder. Terry started trying to leave, before he could I shot him in the leg. “Babe, what you doin'?!?!” Manny said shocked as fuck. “Stop me Manny..” He looked at me and said nothing else. “Now get the fuck out, you can go to the police, but you guys were breaking and entering. Both you guys finger prints are on the window.”

“I'm not gonna repeat myself and if I have to I'm shootin' again, got me.” They didn't need to hear nothing else, they got the fuck up out of there!

I really don't know what came over me. This whole trip just made me a little more hostile. Why were those two so pressed on getting to me and Manny? The window closing snapped me out of my thoughts. Manny walked over to me and took the gun. “You good babe?” He asked me. “I'll be alright.” I said with a slight tremble.

“Good, cause we're leaving tomorrow.” He said giving me a kiss. Just then I felt that everything was gonna be alright, for once.

Chapter 37: Like Him

Manny walks over to the window and begins to open it. “Don't do it Manny!” I said putting my hand on his stopping him from lifting the window up any further. “You must wanna die shawty..” Beat said. “Fuck you nigga you ain't 'bout to do shit.” Without giving me time to cuss him out more, he pulled out a blade. I still wasn't shook. “Babe, please, I don't want him to hurt you.” Manny said. I sighed and went to go sit on the bed.

Beat stepped in the room and there was complete silence. The three of us just looked at each other. “Man Man, bae, what's been goin' on with you?” Beat asked. I told myself not to jump off the deep end and charge this nigga. “Didn't we already go through this Beat?” Manny ask. “Don't get smart with me nigga, I'll fuck you up!” Beat lashed out.

“Man what you come here for nigga?” I asked folding my arms, I was so done with this dude. “I didn't address you, don't speak to me.” “Don't talk to him like that!” Manny screamed. It kinda shocked me. “Why you defending him?? Does he treat you how I did?” Beat said lookin' at me then Manny.

“No I don't try and rape people!” I said, Beat looked at me like I was out of my mind. “Oh so your man told you he tried to play me?” Beat asked me. “Ain't nobody play you, you can't force someone to do what they don't want to dumbass.” I said scowling at him. “You know what, I got something for you!” he said, then he turned and looked at Manny. Beat walked over to Manny and put his arms around his waist. “Yeah, I miss holdin' you Man Man.” Beat said as Manny looked away.

I got up ready to put a hurtin' on this nigga and as soon as I did my plans were shot to hell. Beat pulled out a gun and aimed it right at me. “Try it and I shoot you.” Manny turned his head back so fast I thought he'd break it. “What the fuck are you doing Beat?!?!?” Manny screamed. “I'm getting whats mine, and that's you! You gon let me get inside tonight.” Beat said pullin' Manny closer. “UGH, you stupid jealous muthafucka!!” I said getting even more angry. Why was Beat doing all of this? Obsession is not cute in the least bit.

“Come on Man Man, I know you missed me.” Beat said tryin' to kiss Manny but Manny turned his face. “Stop playin' or I'll shoot you! Give me a kiss.” Beat said pointing the gun at Manny. Manny turned his face back to Beat and pecked him on the lips. “What the fuck was that nigga?” Beat said. “It was a kiss nigga, what the fuck you talkin' bout?” Manny said. “Naw, you tryin' to just get it over with. Kiss me......... like you kiss him.” Beat said nodding towards me. Manny looked at me and his eyes stated to fill. “Why you doing this?” Manny struggled to get out. “Cause you led me on, now I'm here to get what I was suppose to. Now kiss me like you kiss lil Willie over there.”

I was in shock and speechless. I couldn't believe some crazy ass nigga was holdin' us at gun point, over some ass!! “Babe, I'm so sorry.” Manny said as he gave Beat a kiss. Yeah it was just like one he would give me and that tore me up inside. I got mad, sad, and jealous all at once. I got up and walked away and started cryin'. “Don't try nothing stupid lil nigga!” Beat said breaking the kiss and aiming the gun at me. I got even more upset and punched the wall. Well there goes something I have to pay for!

“Get on the bed and take off your clothes.” Beat said to Manny.
“What!?”

Chapter 36: Open Night

The next week Manny and I just stayed inside. Playin Xbox, talkin to his mom, making love, and fucking. Yes there's a difference!! It was just real chill for those days. One day Manny did go out to get something, he didn't tell me what he was going to get, ugh, lol. Later that night, Manny and I laid in his bed watching Nightmare on Elm Street on bootleg, you know how that goes! I mean I like scary movies but Freddy is a scary motherfucker!

“Loosen' your grip, man up!” Manny said scarin' me out of my thoughts.
“What you talkin' bout, I ain't scared!” I lied through my teeth. “Fuck, you can't lie to me no more, I can hear it in your voice!” Damn, that's what I get for lovin' this man so much.

“Ugh, whatever nigga.” I said with a playful attitude. “Whatever this!” Manny said grabbing my dick and squeezin' it. “Don't make me pipe you nigga!” I moaned out. “That's what I'm tryin' to get you to do smart one.” Manny said kissing my neck as my dick grew in his hands. I start to laugh and so does he.

TAP!!

I jump up and look around the room. “Manny, what was that?” I said as he got up behind me. “You hearin' shit boo, now come on man.” He said tryin' to pull me back down. “Naw nigga, I know what the fuck I heard.” I said getting up. “Ok bae, where it come from.” He said all hoodish. “Sounded like it came from by the window.” “It could've been my moms getting home baby.” He said walkin' over to the window and looking out of it.

“Open the window nigga!” a voice boomed from outside scaring Manny. “Fuck!” he screamed out. “Who is it Manny?” I asked him.

“Man Man open the fuckin' window!!” he said and I didn't need my question answered anymore. I looked at Manny and Manny looked at me and then at the window. “Open the window or I kill him.” Beat said as Manny's eyes filled with tears. Manny stalled for a second. “You know I could do it, open the window!”

What the fuck was this nigga on!?
