Devin's Chronicles: Love Ain't Supposed To Hurt

Chapter 3

I didn�t go straight home after that. Instead, I called up some friends and we went out and chilled together. We only meant to spend the rest of the afternoon together but it turned out to being late that evening when we called it a day. When I got home, I noticed an unfamiliar car in the yard. Who could mama have over now? She was known for inviting her friends and co-workers over for dinner. But she didn�t say anything to me about it and it was a must that I be home for dinner when there was company. 

Before I got in the house good, mama came and pushed me back out of the door. 

�Boy where have you been?� 

�Out with some friends, why?� 

�I invited Terrell over for dinner and we have been waiting over thirty minutes for you to get home.� 

�You didn�t tell me that you were inviting him over� 

�Do I have to tell you everything? I thought since you didn�t came home until this morning you would come back home and sleep all day like you normally do� 

�I told you I had to meet up with Derek� 

�Just don�t even worry about it. You here now so you need to come on and let�s eat� 

We walked back in the house and I found T.J sitting on the chair in the living room watching TV. 

�See you finally made it� 

�Yeah, didn�t know you were coming over� 

�It was supposed to be a surprise�� my mama said from the kitchen. 

T.J really did look different now that he was out of his work uniform. The Ralph Lauren swag fitted him just right. 

�I still can�t believe that you back after all this time� I said, sitting on the couch next to him. 

�Man I didn�t know if I would ever make it back. Things have been crazy yo but I ain�t sweating it. Good to see you again�real good� 

He licked his lips just once and I don�t know why but it turned me on. 

�Alright food�s ready� mama said. 

I got up and lead T.J into the kitchen, praying that he didn�t notice my slight erection. 

After dinner, mama left us to go wash and hit the sack since she was so tired. That was her excuse though to leave me with the dishes. Thankfully, T.J gave me a hand. 

�We really did do some dumb things back then though�sometimes I have to laugh when I think about it� 

�Heck yeah�like that time we were playing ball and I accidentally threw the ball over the fence. Those people had a big ass dog in the yard and we thought he was sleep so you went over there and tried to get it. That dog went to barking so hard you peed all over yourself (lol)� 

�Man that wasn�t funny. That was a big ass dog. I think that�s why I still don�t mess with nobody�s dogs right now. You sitting there laughing, that�s why you got slapped by ole girl back in middle school� 

�What girl?� I asked. 

���Stephanie�Philips�you tried to be slick and slapped her on her butt and ran. You thought you were good too and she waited right until lunch and slapped the taste out your mouth!� 

We both laughed at that. It felt so good to have my old buddy back home again. Damn�he was right; we really did some dumb shit when we were younger. We finished washing dishes and headed back into the living room. 

�But what about all the stuff that happened after you left?� I asked him. 

He got somewhat quiet. 

�Man so much has happened until I don�t even know where to begin� 

�Start talking then, we got time to kill� 

�You do but I wish I did. It�s getting late and I have to be at work in the morning. I still got to make this drive yet across town before I can get to where I�m crashing at� 

�Really? Where are you staying?� 

�Southern Lodge� 

�There ain�t nowhere else you can go?� 

�Nah...I thought I could go to my grandma�s house but that has been rented out by another family. Some white people� 

�Damn�well you can stay here� 

�Nah man I�m good. I�ll catch you later though� 

I waited until he started his car and pulled off before I closed the door. It felt so good to have him back home again and yet he still had me slightly hard. I went in my room, closed the door and locked it. I pulled out a thug porno that I had and popped it into the DVD player. Silently, I bust one of the best nuts I had in awhile.
