Love and Passion Chapter 3

Chapter 3:

Roommates

Joseph opened his dorm room’s door no more than ten seconds after leaving Tyson at his and was welcomed home by his overly excited and completely flabbergasted twin. Yoseph had literally been waiting for his brother to return home all morning long and ran to the door when he heard it faintly unlock from the other side. He already knew who it was since Joseph was the only one of them not home yet, that bastard. Yoseph was too excited to see him and he was also too proud of him too! At first, he was honestly upset about his brother going missing on one of the greatest days in N.A.K.S. history but was ecstatic at the fact his twin finally did what was so long awaited! He finally got him some BOOTY!! At least that’s what Yoseph presumed. He yanked Joseph in by the collar as soon as the door was opened wide enough and simply started hollering like a mad man.

“NIGGA…! NIGGA~!!!!”

“What?! Yoseph, what the fuck!? WHAT!?!”

“Where the fuck have you been~?! Do you know how long I’ve been WAITING for YOU?!?!?”

“Oh, I was-”

“Please~ Please, please, please!! Say you was out there finally gettin’ you some pussy, dawg.”

“I-”

“Who comes home at three in the afternoon after disappearing like you did without hittin’ somethin’, my nigga, SOMETHIN’!!! ”

“Noo, nigga, I ain’t hit shit…”

“What?! Why~?!!”

“Who asks people that as soon as they walk through the door, Yoseph??”

“I do…! I don’t under- Why not, boy?!”

“Because-”

“You’re not making any sense right now!!!”

“Yo, why’s no one letting me finish speak today?! I can barely get a fuckin’ sentence out!!”

“What?? What you mean?”

“Ugh~ Nevermind.”

“Aight…”

“…I stayed over at Love’s last night instead.”

“Oh…Did you-”

“Pussy definitely wasn’t on the table. I just told you that, nigga. Only some bomb ass food she made so stop asking.”

“What? I wasn’t gon ask you that! I know you ain’t hit that, are you crazy??!”

“Oh.”

“Shit, I’d be mad as fuck if you did! That’d be so un- fuckin’ fair…!! Why’d you even go there when you knew we had our party to go to, though…? And what she cook?”

“I’m kinda over explaining myself for today, but I just didn’t feel like partying last night. And she made-”

“You didn’t feel like- YOU DIDN’T FEEL LIKE PARTYING LAST NIGHT?!?!” Yoseph screamed even louder than he already was and shook Joseph hard by the shoulders as he did it. He obviously forgot about his second question. Joseph had to hold his brother’s waist for balance while he shouted desperately back.

“No, I didn’t! Damn, why are you yelling so much right now?!”

“BECAUSE YOU JUST MISSED OUT ON THE BEST FUCKIN’ THING YOU COULD’VE EVER DONE IN YOUR WHOLE FREAKIN’ LIFE, THAT’S WHY!!!”

“Alright, alright! I did that, alright?! Just calm down…!”

“Aight…” Yoseph sighed and finally let him go. That was way easier than Joseph expected…

“Wow, you actually did it…”

“Yeah, why not?”

“What?? You’re so crazy sometimes. Why’d you have to do all that in the first place?”

“You damn right I’m crazy and ‘cause I felt like it…And you abandoned me, you had it comin’…”

“I did not, nigga…But that’s what Nate said about the party too. It must’ve really been amazing.”

“Really? You was just with him?”

“I was. We met on our way back here. He’s pretty sick right now though…”

“Shit~ I’m not shocked to hear that! That nigga was guzzlin’ last night! And I mean guzzlin’!”

“Well, damn…I see you ain’t overdo it this time.”

“Naw, nigga~ I’ve learned that lesson! On baby Jesus I have! I’m more than good on that shit.”

“Good…So, where’s everyone else? Are they out too??”

“Naw! Them niggas are knocked the fuck out! In their rooms! All pussyed out like a N.A.K.S. brother should be!!” Yoseph laughed proudly but pouted as he muttered next,

“Especially that bitch, G.…”

“Why’d you say it like that?” Joseph chuckled. He already knew the answer but he decided he wanted to hear it from his brother’s point of view. Yoseph frowned even harder and murmured back just as dejectedly,

“Porque… [SPA: Because…]”

“¿Porque que? [SPA: Because what?]”

“…”

“What? He stole all the ass out there or somethin’??”

“Bi- YES…!!! Dawg! The party was still fuckin’ amazing, but you should’ve seen all the bitches that came out just for him!!”

“That’s not all that surprising though, Yoseph. They always come out for him. I heard the IG page worked wonders this time around too.”

“Joseph! That shit’s always worked! What you talkin’ ‘bout???”

“Really?”

“Yeah, really!! You just don’t be paying attention to what he does with it! That shit’s fuckin’ amazing. But listen! This wasn’t nothing like it usually is though!! It was- Broo~ If you were there with me last night I would’ve definitely pulled more ass for sure! I know I would’ve!!”

“Yeah, probably…”

“Exactly! You know the hoes see us as a duo~ They think our shit’s green screen on our vlogs whenever you don’t show up like that…!”

“I know they do.”

“Then what the fuck~!”

“We have two distinctly different voices and energies when we dance, so them thinking that’s kinda fuckin’ dumb and you know that…Anyway, I just ain’t feel like keeping up with you last night so I had to go missing. You be stressin’ me out, nigga. You know I’m not interested in them girls, yet you want me actin’ like I am for your sake.”

“As you should…! Don’t you love me?!”

“Of course I do! Not enough to sacrifice myself for you like that every time you ask me to though.”

“You’re so mean…”

“I am not…So, what? You ain’t get to smash none at all??”

“Bitch, who you talkin’ to???”

“Alright, then. It’s not that you ain’t get none, you’re just mad that Gianni got more than you! Like he usually does!!” Joseph laughed and started making his way to his room to finally put his duffle bag down. His brother followed behind him miserably while he stomped and whined in a semi-audible episode. It sounded something like a cat having a tantrum from a distance with bits of silence in between. Joseph looked at him for a moment and he made sure to make the ugliest crying face when their eyes happened to meet.

Yoseph was technically the older twin but you really couldn’t tell from his usual behavior. He was always the fastest to react emotionally and it was often times very physical in nature. It wasn’t a proper tantrum without drawing eyes in either. That was a requirement. Yoseph’s whining became louder like a weird siren until he began verbalizing his blatantly hinted distress. He followed Joseph back into their common area and basically squealed it out when it all became too much,

“Dawg! If you saw what the fuck I saw last night then you’d know how unfair that shit was!!”

“I think you’re being real fuckin’ dramatic right now. If you got some ass then all should be good, right?? I don’t see why-”

“NO~…!”

“Why not?! I know it wasn’t just one shawtie, so what’s the problem?”

“It wasn’t enough…”

“Wasn’t enough?? How many did you end up with? Hey, scratch that for a second. What did you do to Charlotte?”

“How many did I fuck, you mean!” Yoseph replied proudly once more but asked with sincere confusion literally right after,

“And who the fuck is that??”

“What you mean??? Nigga, you know Charlotte!”

“…Noo. Why the fuck would I ask who that was if I knew?”

“Yoseph…You know who Charlotte is! She’s like- your number one fan on campus or some shit!”

“Mmm…Naw, you lost me.”

“Bruh, you and her fuck all the time! How do you not know her??!”

“We do…?? Aight, what she look like?!”

“Uuuh, you know…”

“No. I don’t.”

“Shut up! I can’t believe I have to describe what one of your girls looks like to you!”

“You the one askin’ about her.”

“She’s one of them from M.A.R.C. Wears a lot of make up?”

“…I hope you know I got like- six shawties in that bitch, right?”

“Aight…She changes her hair so gawd damn much I can’t even use that to describe her. She likes wild colors! Her hair was purple today.”

“…Aight.”

“You know who I’m talkin’ about now?”

“Honestly you broke it down to about three shawties, nigga. What else?”

“Oh Dios mío [SPA: Oh my God]…I don’t know~”

“…She Black?”

“Yes!!”

“Light skin?!”

“Yes, nigga, yes!!”

“Charlotte~!! Yeah, I know that shawtie!! She’s cool people…”

“Good! So, what happened between you two last night?? She was mad as shit about you earlier today!”

“I don’t know.”

“What?!”

“I ain’t see her ass last night!!”

“Wow…” Joseph sighed and turned away from his brother who was beaming proudly from playing 21 Questions for no good reason just now. Yoseph came around him grinning just to ask though,

“So, you still wanna know how many shawties I fucked last night?!”

And his was typical Yoseph. Way before yesterday even came around Joseph picked up on the fact his brother planned on competing with Gianni for the body count at their party last night and was already prepared to quietly abandon his usual wing man role. There really wasn’t any point in him trying to compete. Gianni was an absolute beast when it came to satisfying their fans and just women in general, and Yoseph knew that! They all knew that! Joseph accepted that knowledge a long time ago. In fact, it didn’t bother him at all that things turned out that way. Gianni just naturally outdid the rest of the crew…Plus, his love sickness over Emma didn’t leave room for any other view.

Sex just wasn’t a competition to Joseph, even before that young woman came along and stole his heart. It just wasn’t. Yoseph, on the other hand, was very loud with his opposing view. Sex was nothing but a competition. There was never a guy that could outdo him when it came to women either. Back in the day he had the most women, the largest body count, and was never the man to experience ‘leftovers’. Other guys only got to smash after him. Before they met Gianni that is…

So, the battle’s been on ever since. Joseph knew it was only right for Gianni to get so much attention though. He was their Frat’s Alpha, the leader of their online performance group, had the widest vocal range, was the bulkiest in muscle tone, had the longest, prettiest hair for girls to play in, was the loudest, and simply had the hardest game going out of all of them, but those reasons were never good enough for Yoseph. He just couldn’t give up on winning back his number one spot. Joseph wished he would though…

“Sure, Yoseph! How many?”

“Five!”

“Wait, you slept with five shawties last night??”

“Yeah, nigga~!”

“How’s that not enough?!?”

“Alright, let’s see…!” Yoseph excitedly began sharing while he counted on his fingers, completely ignoring his brother’s very reasonable question,

“I smashed two in the Party Hall and three in here! All at the same time too! God, you should’ve seen it!”

“Whoa~…So, a threesome and a foursome??”

“Yeah~~!”

“But I don’t get it. I can’t see how that’s not e- Wait…Did you just say you smashed in the Party Hall???”

“I sure the fuck did, nigga!”

“What?!?”

“All the brothers did!! Even some of the non-pledged niggas got they freak on in there last night! We even-”

“Wait. Wait, wait, wait…” Joseph muttered and put his hand up to pause his twin for a second. Yoseph laughed at the face of his brother processing his words and smiled too hard when Joseph finally spewed his thoughts,

“Yoseph…What the fuck happened last night??!”

“A fuckin’ legend, Joseph!! That’s what the fuck happened last night!”

“Yoseph, Yoseph…Naw, you lyin’. You gotta be. Get outta here with that bullshit, dawg,” Joseph scoffed and looked away to take hold of their fridge door. Yoseph’s story was now becoming too tiring for his mind to process. He knew his brother was into embellishing his stories to make them more exciting but this was simply too fucking much.

“Bro! Joseph, I swear to God!!”

“Yo…!”

“What~?!”

“I let it slide the first time! You know how I feel about you doing that!!”

“I do, but that’s how serious I am~!! You knew this was one of our last parties before we graduate! Why wouldn’t our Alpha leave his mark like that?! We even had rubbers waitin’ and ready for this shit for the free! Even the non-pledged niggas had access!!”

“Yoseph, come on! You’re basically telling me Gianni turned our practically PG Party Hall into an Orgy House over night! How could I believe that?!?”

“But he did, nigga! He did!!”

“How come Nate ain’t tell me about it then?!”

“I don’t know~! I told you that nigga was drunk off his ass! He could’ve even forgot!!”

“Dawg, that can’t be true. You can stop now. I believe you when you said it was amazing, you ain’t gotta do all that.”

“But it’s true~!!! Bro, why the hell did we share a sack if you’re never gonna believe me…!? You- you better listen to your older brother, lil’ nigga!!!”

“Wha- You’re older than me by literally two minutes!”

“It still counts, damn it!!!”

“Can yall niggas SHUT THE FUCK UP?!?! I’m tryna get some sleep in here!” David snarled viciously at the twins from his bedroom door.

Both Joseph and Yoseph made up their faces as they watched him make his way over to where they were and as soon as he got there he shove Joseph out the way of the fridge. Both twins were taken aback by his actions, of course, but Joseph made up his face even more nastily for having to catch himself from falling out of nowhere. David simply yanked the fridge’s door open right after as if he did nothing wrong then cursed at how bright the light was in there. It wasn’t much brighter than it was in the common area itself but it seemed to bother him nonetheless. David growled under his breath like a wild animal after staring at the fridge’s content for a short while. Whatever he was looking for didn’t seem to be in there and it pissed him off even further.

Joseph surely didn’t give a fuck though. He was about to give it to him for what he just did until Yoseph interrupted with haste. He knew his brother didn’t like what just happened to him and he knew it was unfair but it’d obviously be a losing battle if he acted on it. They all knew not to mess with David when he was this vicious for no good reason but his ability to piss people off blinded that judgment sometimes. It usually takes more to get Joseph this heated too so Yoseph knew things wouldn’t cool down easily if he let it happen.

“Mutha-!”

“UUH…! Hey G.!”

“WHAT?!”

“Can you believe Joseph ain’t come to the party last night?!”

“Perché dovrebbe importarmi se lui era lì o no? [ITL: Why should I care if he was there or not?” David asked coldly as he stared daggers at Yoseph through his barely opened eyes.

“What? Nigga, you know I-”

“Non me ne frega un cazzo se è venuto o no! Questo è così stupido. Dio, dov'è il cazzo di succo?! [ITL: I don't give a fuck if he came or not! This is so stupid. God, where's the fucking juice?!]” David shouted and half way through it started shuffling through the fridge haphazardly. Not only was he woken from his precious beauty sleep but he was mad thirsty and in a huge rush to fix it. He had no time for anything else, especially stupid questions like that. David sighed dramatically when he really couldn’t seem to find whatever it was he was looking for before he finally glanced over at a very angry Joseph to answer Yoseph’s question in the language they all understood,

“Yeah, I can believe that shit. We all know he’s lame as fuck. Lamest nigga in our crew…What was more important than coming out and supporting your Alpha last night?”

“He said he just didn’t feel like it so he stayed at Love’s instead. They-”

“Wait, what…?”

“Uh…” Yoseph murmured and paled a little, he forgot who he was talking to for a second.

“Who the fuck told you you could do that?? Why were you with my girl last night?!”

David wasn’t very thirsty anymore, unless we were referring to blood. Why’d Joseph think spending the night with his Love was a better option than going to their party?! David came closer to Joseph to make sure he could hear the excuse well enough before he’d punch him dead in the face for it. He was tired of Joseph’s bullshit! Ever time David turned around this man was in Love’s face! Talking and being friends and shit! Well, he wasn’t having it!!!

“I don’t need your fuckin’ permission to stay over at a friend’s place, nigga! Who do you think you are?!” Joseph finally shouted back and fearlessly too. David wasn’t the only one at his wits end. Joseph was entirely sick of this man’s insanity! Everyone knows him and Love are just friends! It’s been over two years since they’ve known each other and that’s all they’ve ever been!! Well, Joseph was finally done with his shit! David surely wasn’t the only one that could get crazy and he was damn sure ready to prove it in that moment too! David chuckled at Joseph’s growing attitude and got even more in his face before responding.

“I’m her fuckin’ nigga, that’s who. Why you actin’ like you don’t know that…? You of all people should know that!!!”

“You’re not her nigga, Gianni! She’s single and don’t belong to no one!! Especially not you!!!”

“What did you just say to me…?”

“You heard me! Love don’t belong to you, nigga! And she never has!!”

“What you gettin’ at…? Dawg, I’m ‘bout to fuckin’ kill you. Did yall fuck last night?! IS THAT WHY YOU ACTIN’ ALL CONFIDENT RIGHT NOW?!?”

“What?! No!! What’s wrong with you?!? I’m mad ‘cause you fuckin’ pushed me for no good reason!!!”

“Tsk! You’re wastin’ my gawd damn time!! This is your last chance, nigga, I ain’t gon ask you again!! DID YOU FUCKIN’ TOUCH MY GIRL?!!”

“NO! W-”

“Then stop fuckin’ talkin’ to me and stay away from her!”

“You’re the one fuckin’ screamin’ in my face!!”

“Lil’ bitch ass nigga…Swear you ‘bout to do somethin’ over nothin’,” David sighed as he walked back over to the fridge and began his intense juice hunt again. As long as his girl wasn’t being touched by another man the way he would touch her all was good. He definitely had no time to argue now that that was cleared up, his less murderous thirst was kicking back in.

“Why the fuck are you out here anyway?! You have your own fridge!! Get whatever you’re looking for from in there and fuck off already!”

“You think I’d be out here if I had shit left in there?!”

“…”

“No, I wouldn’t be!! God, you’re so fuckin’ stupid sometimes! I ran out of all my shit last night since you need to know, you nosy little fuck!!! That’s why I’m out here!!”

“How’s that my fuckin’ fault?!”

“Jos, I’m ‘bout to knock yo shit clean out for real, dawg. Why are you still fuckin’ talkin’…?! Damn, you shoulda got you some pussy instead of tryna lay up under mio amore [ITL: my love] last night. You’d be ten times less annoying right now if you did. You must want me to kill you for real goin’ over there in the middle of the night. How could you even- Must’ve lost yo Gawd damn mind…”

“You know me and Love aren’t like that! Why do we have to go over the exact same shit every fuckin’ day?!”

“Because you keep tryin’ me! Find yo own pussy and stay away from my girl, Jos!”

“This ain’t got shit to do with pussy, nigga! I don’t need none! You wanna go pushin’ niggas like it’s cool when it’s not! That’s my fuckin’ problem with you…!”

“You stay bitchin’. Gawd damn, Jos…”

“Fuck you!! These shawties ain't the problem! You’re the pussy I got the problem with!!!”

“Oh, yeah?? Do you feel better?!”

“…Kinda.”

“Good! Now shut the fuck up…!!!” David shouted at him before looking back into the fridge and really started shoving shit out the way while he yawned in anger,

“Can’t you see I don’t give a fuck about yo lil’ bitch ass feelings right now?!? All I wanted was some gawd damn- Yo~ There it is~!! Who the fuck pushed it all the way back there…?! So annoyin’! Why’d it have to be behind all them damn pots…?”

David finally found the drink he was looking for, which happened to belong to Yoseph, and it calmed him down completely. It was like magic. He was really about to lose all of his temper just now from having to go back and forth with Joseph but poof! Gone. Yoseph frowned a little as he watched his favorite guava nectar be juice-napped by his now very content friend. It was just going to have to happen, he wouldn’t dare say a word about that juice today. It wasn’t worth it…

“Stay the fuck away from my girl, Jos~ and there won’t be no problems! I’m not gon’ tell yo ass again either…”

“Yes, you will…! You tell me that shit every fuckin’ day!”

“Now shut yall asses up, I’m tryna get some sleep here…” David muttered while he checked the juice’s seal and smiled when he saw it was still intact.

Joseph and Yoseph watched him close the fridge door a lot more peacefully than he opened it and headed back into his room while he unscrewed the cap and quenched his obviously intolerable thirst. Things went quiet for the next couple of seconds before Joseph made back up his face and muttered to himself,

“What the fuck does Love see in that nigga again…?”

“What?” Yoseph whimpered back.

“Nothing. Thanks for your support by the way.”

“Hey, I couldn’t even back myself up! You saw him take my juice, right? Everyone in here knows that’s my favorite juice but that shit don’t matter today! Nuh-uh! Mm-mm! It don’t…! You know there’s not much we can do when he gets that damn cranky. He’d just whoop both our asses if I said anything to really trigger him right now. I’m surprised he ain’t react much to you calling him what you did!”

“Ugh~! Yeah, me too…I hate that you’re right right now. Did you see how many waters he shoved out the way just to get to that…?”

“Yeah, I did…I guess he really needed something with flavor.”

“I’d whoop that nigga’s ass if I could, I swear to God…”

“Hey~”

“You started it…Well, I guess I don’t have any other choice but to believe you now, Yoseph. There’s no way in hell that he’d be in that much of a shitty mood just from being woken up if what you said happened last night wasn’t true. Him running out of shit in that fridge is unheard of too, so it had to be because of something like what you said happening.”

“Right?!”

“There are a few things I’ve never seen that man without and those are blunts, designer clothes, condoms, and his favorite shit stocked to the brim in that damn fridge of his.”

“True~”

“And he’s obviously super exhausted. I haven’t seen him act out like that in some time now…Hey, you were saying he outdid you last night, right? How many shawties did he hook up with since you had five??”

“Rub it in, won’t you?? Damn…uuh…Nigga, there were honestly so many I doubt he kept count…”

“What?? How’s that possible?”

“Dawg, these bitches were lined up last night, happy as fuck to just sample this nigga! From what I can remember most of the rounds were quick but he stayed in the ones he liked longer.”

“…What are you talking about right now??”

“Okay, okay…! He stayed a minute or two in each average shawtie, no more than three, but for the shawties he really liked he gave it to them for five, six minutes tops! He wasn’t playing around with all that pelvic training he tried to get us into! He ain’t nut no more than three times for the whole night!!! That bitch got mad dome from these hoes last night too?! I could barely believe my fuckin’ eyes! Man~ Most of them were so nasty they ain’t even mind sharing condoms!”

“…It’s kinda disturbing that you know all that in detail.”

“We were together the whole time, why wouldn’t I know that??”

“Okay…”

“Joseph, and that wasn’t nothin’ compared to what went down in here!!! Gianni brought all the shawties he liked back with him, which was at least five all together, and shit got absolutely fuckin’ WILD up in here!”

“I could only imagine…Hey, thanks for opening all the windows in here. You remembered.”

“You’re welcome! You don’t like the smell of pussy in the air, I know. You’re the only one that complains about it but you know I got you. ”

“Random pussy, Yoseph. You know once I’m really feeling a shawtie I can basically live down there.”

“Mmm…Yo goofy ass still waiting around for Emma, huh?”

“You know I am.”

“I really wish you weren’t~ We could’ve been having fun together like we used to! I would’ve long been looking for ass if I were you. It’s like the longer she got you waiting around the more celibate you become and I really don’t see why! You could’ve been smashin’ left and right! At any time you wanted!! You look like me, remember…?! Dawg, I don’t get you sometimes, for real…”

“Honestly, bro, you don’t need to get me. Just respect me like I respect you.”

“What? Of course! Always, Joseph…”

“Thanks…So, for real now, no jokes. Yall niggas really fucked in the Party Hall? Like, all in front of each other???”

“All of us, nigga~ Well, except for Don and Ty. Those niggas went missing after awhile.”

“Now, I can believe that! Don’s the most private guy I know and I already know why Ty ain’t stay.”

“See?! SO, YOU BELIEVE ME NOW?!”

“YOS! I SAID SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!” David roared angrily from inside his room and both the twins quieted before Yoseph apologized,

“Sorry, G.~! I’ll keep it down…! Yeah, so you believe me now?”

“Why do you always let him talk to you so crazy??”

“Aww, he don’t mean no harm, Joseph. He’s just real tired, we both know that.”

“If you say so…”

“Anyway! I’m getting ready to go see Chloe and/or Rebekah, I need to make up for last night!”

“Did you just say ‘and/or’??? And aren’t they together?? And once again, what is there to make up for????”

“Yep, to all that shit! I found out last night that they’re bi and that they’re into double teamin’, and they chose this nigga right here to do it with!”

“Alright…But what is there to make up for?!”

“Didn’t you hear my story?!? Gianni outdid me by a mile last night! I was only able to get five while this nigga selected five out of mad bitches, Joseph! MAD!! My lion’s pride can’t take it, it can’t take it!! I need to keep up with him!”

“No, you don’t. And how many shawties do you plan on turning out?? Isn’t this the third set?”

“Naw, I’m still at two since they’re already into that shit, but I will turn out more! I had my first three last night too?! I’ll never stop!”

“Yoseph!”

“Alright, see you later!”

“Wait! I really think you should- Oh, fuck it…” Joseph sighed as he watched his brother hurry out the front door. Yoseph was for sure his twin, there was no denying that, but they’ve always been so different in their views on life. Joseph decided last minute that he’d better just let things be, let the man do him so Yoseph would have no choice but to let his younger brother be himself too.

Love and Passion Chapter 4

Chapter 4:

Roommates…

“Hey~ You’re finally up,” Joseph chuckled as he watched Brandon make his way to their kitchen from his bedroom. It was about time! Joseph had been sitting at the dining table all by himself since Yoseph left him. He would’ve normally chilled out in his room but he was way too excited to hear Brandon’s version of his brother’s ludicrous story. Joseph had to hold back his excitement when he heard Brandon’s door creak open. First, because it could’ve been the asshole that lived right next to him instead and second, because Joseph was well aware of how Brandon adored taking his time in all that he did. It was Brandon though. He ended up going to his and David’s shared bathroom and took a quick shower before going back into his room for awhile. When he actually made his way around the corner he yawned noisily, waved at Joseph and opened the fridge door before grimacing terribly.

“Yo~ The fuck happened in here??”

“Gianni happened in there,” Joseph sighed.

“Aah, say no more. How you doin’, Jos?”

“I’m chillin’. Just reading like always.”

“You and your books,” Brandon chuckled as he sat down next to Joseph with a bottle of water he took from the fridge. He had a good swig of it and smiled happily after swallowing. Joseph grinned from watching Brandon casually take a couple chips from the bowl he had out on their dining table. While Yoseph was obviously a big fan of David and his ways, Joseph found it easier to look up to Brandon. Literally, yes, but figuratively as well. He was the tallest out of all of them, standing at about 6'5” and was definitely one of their Frat’s chillest brothers. Shit, Brandon was the chillest person Joseph’s ever met in fact! He was the complete opposite of David…Well, at least for the most part. Brandon blew up very similarly to David when a situation called for it but that happened so rarely you could barely call it a thing.

Brandon fixed his glasses and gently closed the book while Joseph contemplated his two roommates’ differences. He wanted to read the cover but kept a finger between the page so his friend wouldn’t lose his place. Joseph smiled at how considerate that was before Brandon opened it again and chuckled,

“I’ve heard about this one. Some of the shawties in class were talking about it. It sounds pretty wild from what they were saying. How you likin’ it?”

“Don, it’s super good.”

“Aye~ Glad to hear it…You know what time it is?”

“Yeah, it’s uh…8:36.”

“PM?!”

“Yeah,” Joseph laughed.

“You lyin’…”

“Naw.”

“Yeah, you are.”

“What would be the point in that?”

“Aaah, yeah, you right. You’re Jos.”

“Right,” Joseph chuckled. His brother was definitely more of the prankster in their group than he was. Joseph was a straight shooter when it came to the truth. It was either honesty or nothing at all.

“That’s wild~ I know I got in after eleven this morning but I ain’t think I’d sleep that hard.”

“You must’ve had a real good time last night then.”

“I sure did.”

“That’s what’s up…So?” Joseph asked as he sat back and looked at Brandon with excitement.

“What’s good?”

“What you mean?! You already know what I wanna know!”

“It all depends…”

“Aww, Don, come on~”

“I hear you, I hear you…Aight, for real, what you wanna know?”

“How’d the party go last night?! Verbatim ‘cause I heard some crazy shit!”

“Oh, that’s all?? Shit, I thought it was something else. I could tell you about that, it was dope as fuck!”

“What you thought I wanted to know??”

“No clue.”

“You’re funny.”

“I try.”

“So, tell me about it!”

“The dopeness was unmatched, nigga~”

“For real?!”

“Yeah, it was…Where were you last night? I ain’t see you out there.”

“I stayed over at Love’s. I ain’t really feel like partying…”

“Good call.”

“Wh- I thought you said it was dope!”

“It was…for a nigga who ain’t in love. I’m sure your time with Love was better for you than this would’ve been. The only way you’d like it was if you decided to fall out of love with Em right then and there.”

“Damn, it was that serious…? Yoseph told me some wild shit though. I wanted t-”

“It’s true.”

“What??”

“Whatever he told you went down, it’s true.”

“You know he has too much fun lying though…”

“He told you how we locked all the doors to the Frat and made the place a Fuck Fest, right?”

“Yall even locked the doors?!”

“So, he missed that part,” Brandon chuckled.

“I can’t believe that’s actually true! Even after G’s ol’ cranky ass came out here starting shit for no reason. It’s been a minute since he’s acted up too and I still couldn’t believe it…!”

“What happened? Why’d he have to trash our fuckin’ fridge???”

“Because he was tired and thirsty…”

“…I hear you but there’s got to be more to it. I know he’s crazy but there’s usually a half-decent reason for him actin’ out like that.”

“You’re a good man for thinking that, Don. Nothing that nigga does ever makes sense to me…But honestly, he was mad because me and Yoseph were talking and he thought we were being too loud and stoppin’ his beauty sleep.”

“Hmm, being pretty is important to that nigga…What else?”

“Nothing! His dumb ass just decided to push me out the way of the fridge and threw a tantrum in it ‘cause he was thirsty! He couldn’t find Yoseph’s fuckin’ juice behind all the pots and waters in there so he flipped out ‘til he could. He’s a freakin’ maniac, you know that!!”

“Hey~”

“You know damn well it’s true!”

“Yeah~ I do. This nigga…He’s never liked water, he just drinks it ‘cause he has to,” Brandon sighed and sat back a bit.

“I really don’t see why not, water’s amazing!”

“I know.”

“Oh, and Yoseph brought up the fact I spent the night at Love’s and it only made things worse!”

“There it is~ I knew it was somethin’ other than wanting sleep and juice.”

“It was mostly the juice, I promise you.”

“I hear you. Wanting juice and Love’s a bad combo for that nigga…Yos really needs to watch what he says sometimes. G’s my best friend and I know you can’t say whatever you want around him. He’s too touchy for that.”

“Tell me about it…Anyway, what actually happened at the party?!!”

“Oh, right! I left before everyone else but I did see them niggas start wildin’ and I’m pretty sure it only got worse from there.”

“I knew you wouldn’t stay in a situation like that if it were true! Especially if you found you a shawtie for the night…But for real, yall was really fuckin’ in front of each other???”

“They was, yeah. There were dicks and coochies out everywhere.

“That’s wild~ Wait, who’d you snatch up?”

“Oooh, you wouldn’t believe this shit, Jos, you wouldn’t…!!”

“Whoa! Why not?! Who’d you get??!”

“Nigga~ Oh, my god~” Brandon chuckled too happily and started grabbing at his head. The biggest smile spread across his face and it only hyped Joseph up even more.

“Don! Who was it, nigga?!?!”

“Tanasha.”

“Ta- Nigga, WHO?!”

“You heard me, nigga! TANASHA!!”

“NOOO…!! DON, THAT’S IMPOSSIBLE!!!”

“WHO YOU TELLIN’?!! THAT��S WHAT I THOUGHT TOO!!!”

“Oh, my God, that CAN’T to true!!

“It is!”

“What?! I can’t believe this shit, I- Naw, nigga, even I’m jealous…!!”

“And that says a lot!! I ain’t never met a lover boy as lover boy as you and for you to say you is jealous of me is- AAH SHIT, NIGGA!! That’s probably why I slept so damn good,” Brandon nearly squealed as he threw himself down on the couch in nostalgic excitement.

Joseph chuckled happily for him. Tanasha was one of the baddest shawties on TAU’s campus. Even he couldn’t stop himself from gawking whenever she’d pass by. Tanasha had the energy of a true Seductress and the fact that she was a dancer didn’t help that aura ease one bit! Her stride was a performance in and of itself and her looks were absolutely phenomenal! It didn’t matter how in love you were either, she had the power to have you think that over along with every other thought you’ve ever had in your whole life. Tanasha’s body was one of a goddess and her gaze could stop your heart just to make it beat again for her and only her. Joseph personally found her energy to be extremely intimidating but he was too happy his friend got to experience it first hand!

“Shit, I’d still be sleep!!” Joseph laughed and so did Brandon.

“I almost drowned in that shit, it was so good.”

“How’d you pull?!”

“Real talk…?”

“Yeah??”

“She pulled me, I ain’t do shit.”

“Wha- WHY ARE YOU LYING SO MUCH!?!”

“I’M NOT!! Jos, you gotta hear me out real quick!”

“I’m all ears, nigga, ‘cause I’m not understanding this shit!”

“So, a nigga was just vibin’, lookin’ sexy like he always is…”

“Aight,” Joseph laughed.

“But really though, I was just hugging the wall like I usually do! G. and Yos started bringin’ out the condoms a-”

“They really did that?!”

“I told you, everything Yos told you was true! It was wildin’ enough where he really ain’t have to make shit up this time.”

“Well, damn…!”

“But yeah, I was just chilling on the wall and smoking when all the public fuckin’ got started. Tanasha came out of nowhere and started rubbin’ on a nigga's chest!”

“Word?!”

“Word! The whole hall was in heat and I guess she was feelin’ it too!? I don’t know! Man, thank God I kept my cool ‘cause I lowkey freaked the fuck out! You know she’s finer than wine!!”

“I would’ve too…!! I don’t think I could’ve hid that shit though! Good thing you’re good at that! The chillest nigga I know, I swear!”

“Right?! I never knew it’d come in handy like that! So, she just reached into her dress after that, placed a magnum on my chest and grinned, nigga, just grinned!!”

“Oh, my god…How you ain’t bust on yourself right then and there?!”

“I DON’T KNOW!! I think my heart stopped for a second but I couldn’t let that shit show!”

“Naw, you couldn’t!”

“Dawg, we made out after that and it was getting real hot and heavy! We was touchin’ and feelin’ on each other like there was no fuckin’ tomorrow! I wanted to take that ass right then and there but you know me, I’m not ‘bout that!”

“Oh, shit, I know you not!”

“I couldn’t put it down nowhere near here either!”

“Yea-! Wait. What you mean?! Where’d you go??”

“Just listen~! God bless my folks for letting me rent the Challenger for the break! I took that ass to the Hyatt and let her know she wasn’t wrong for choosing a nigga!!”

“Yooo!! Good call! I still can’t believe this shit! She looks like she’d like that too…Damn, lucky you, Don!!”

“Thanks, Jos. God, it was so good…So, how’d your night with Love end up going??”

“It was real cool. You know Love’s always a vibe.”

“She is, she is…Dawg, you sure there ain’t nothin’ going on between you two?? I swear to God yall been way too damn cozy lately…!”

“What you mean~?! There ain’t no one ‘round here ‘cozier’ with Love than you!”

“Evading the question, huh? Even more suspicious…”

“Don! You know who I’m in love with! There’s absolutely nothing going on between me and Love! At least not like that, we’re just friends! You be on that crazy shit when you talk like that, good Lord. Just like that nigga Gianni…”

“Aww, don’t say that, Jos, that’s a low blow.”

“Yeah, well, I’m just sayin’! You know what it is already so you shouldn’t ask questions like that no more!”

“Alright, I know, I know, you’re right…I just be jealous, that’s all…! You out here stealin’ my best friend and cuddle buddy right from under me…”

“What?? Now you know there’s no way that could ever happen. Love loves you more than any of us here! You must still be drunk, nigga,” Joseph scoffed, making Brandon laugh a bit. Things quieted between the two of them until Brandon decided to speak again.

“…So, how close were yall last night?”

“What?! What you-”

“I already know, nigga. Love’s lowkey been real down about Emma dropping out and leaving her all alone. She may not say it that way ‘cause she’s a tough cookie but she gets all cuddly when she’s sad like that. So~ Imma ask you again, how close were yall last night??”

“I-! Damn, you’re good.”

“That’s my best friend, Jos. I have to know her,” Brandon chuckled.

“She, uh, she just wanted to cuddle a little while we read our books last night, but that’s it, I swear!”

“She wanted to lay on you, right?”

“How’d you know?!”

“I’m gon have to talk to this shawtie about tryna replace me like that. I don’t appreciate it…”

“You know it’s not like that…”

“IT BETTER NOT BE LIKE THAT! FOR NEITHER OF YALL NIGGAS!! I’ll fuck yall up, I swear to God! Don’t you dare try nothin’!!!” David growled as he made his way around the corner again. He only then woke up from his beauty sleep but overheard a little bit of his room mates' conversation as he came to. And of course, David felt he needed to let both of them know their places when it came to Love. Brandon rolled his eyes a little while Joseph snarled a bit. Even though it was evening it was always too early for David’s bullshit. Brandon and Joseph watched him dramatically stop at the stove to stare at the empty surface after that. He soon gawked at them just as dramatically to express his obnoxious concerns,

“Yo…Where the fuck is dinner??”

“Yoseph didn’t make any. He told me you basically stole the show last night so he went out to go get him some from ‘Chloe and/or Rebecca’.”

“He said it exactly like that too, didn’t he?” Brandon chuckled and Joseph sighed,

“He sure the fuck did.”

“…So, what the fuck’s that gotta do with my dinner not being ready?”

“How’s dinner gonna be ready if there’s no one here to fix it, G.? You must still be sleep…” Joseph muttered and started reading from where he left off. He hated talking to David when he was like this. Joseph knew how him sharing himself with all those energies usually got him. It was all fun and games for David naturally but Joseph knew he was more sensitive to it than he’d ever want to admit. David would always get extra crazy after fucking so many women at once because deep down it’d make him uncomfortable. None of them were ever of truly good quality and mixing all that lust with more lust simply made him wacky. Joseph knew that’s why he was so stuck on Love in the first place. Her energy was pure, healing in fact, and he was sure David’s never experienced anything like it. No one’s ever brought him peace like that before and it was addicting.

“Who the fuck you talkin’ to?! Jos, I swear to-” David growled.

“G.~ Relax, nigga. What, you ain’t sleep well?” Brandon sighed.

“I was sleepin’ just fine ‘til this lil’ bitch and his brother woke me up!”

“Gianni, you slept!! I got back after three and now it’s eight, almost fuckin’ nine, nigga! That’s five hours right there!! I’m sure you were long sleep before I even got here too!”

“Why you countin’ my sleep, nigga!?! I’ll fu-”

“You wrapped up for all that sloppy top you got last night too, right?” Brandon randomly intervened.

“What?? Of course, I did! I ain’t stupid…Most of those shawties were brand new, I had to…” David murmured and calmed down a little. Brandon always knew how to get his best friend to chill. The most basic, unrelated question always seemed to do the trick too.

“Good ‘cause I know you got a lot.”

“Yeah, nigga…But for real, what the fuck we gon eat if Yos ain’t make nothin’ tonight?? He got all that stuff marinating in there too…”

“I ordered something already,” Joseph sighed and flipped to the next page of his book.

“Enough to share…?”

“No, get your own.”

“You little bitch.”

“Well! I’m about to slide to the park and smoke me a little somethin’, somethin’! I’ll probably go grab me something to eat too! You wanna slide, G.?”

“…Naw, I’m good. I know what I’ll do.”

“Aight, cool. I’ll see yall later then,” Brandon groaned as he stood to his feet and headed out the door. Both Joseph and David watched him leave before David grinned deviously at the shutting door. He happily headed back towards his room and muttered as he rubbed his hands together,

“Shiit, I know who’d be more than happy to feed me!”

“Don’t do it, G.”

“Nigga, what??” David growled as he turned back to Joseph and spat,

“Who you talkin’ to?!”

“You, nigga! Just leave Love alone tonight, please…I’ll even share what I bought with you if you do.”

“The fuck?! Do I look like a dog to you?!! I don’t want your fuckin’ food! You should’ve told me you’d share in the first place!”

“I ain’t know you was gone bother Love if I didn’t!”

“How’s that your problem?! Who do you think you are for real, Jos?!! Just because you know what we do don’t give you the right to butt in, nigga! I’m not playin’ with you! Stay away from my girl or I’ll fuckin’ kill you! And stay out of my business!!”

“What?! I don’t know what you’re thinking right now but that’s not what I meant! I’m just saying-”

“Fuck you!!”

“Gianni!”

“WHAT?!!”

“Listen for a fuckin’ second, gawd damn!”

“…What.”

Joseph frowned after that. David was obviously hurting about something. Joseph could tell clearly when he looked into David’s eyes. He would never actually shut the fuck up when you told him to and his vibe was secretly sorrowful. Joseph wasn’t sure how but he had an inkling that it somehow had to do with Love and that that stupid lie he told had to be for a reason. Things were starting to feel deeper than it just being about David wanting to have some exclusive fun with her during the break…Well, whatever it was Joseph had a bad feeling that his hope for no complications between those two was getting ready to crash and burn.

“G., what’s really happening between yall two? You seem really down right now.”

“Wh- I'm not- I don’t got to tell you shit!! Why you even askin’?!!”

“I know you don’t have to, but…Look, all I wanted to say was that I don’t know what’s happening between you two right now but Love’s not going to appreciate you going to her right after all you did last night. Yoseph told me what happened. She’s gonna know everything without you having to say a word and it’ll fuck up what you two got going on right now.”

“Since when do you care about what me and her got going on, Jos?!”

“You’re my friend, Gianni! I’ve got love for the both of you. Mad love! That’s why I care!”

“…”

“I still can’t say I agree with you two having a relationship but-”

“I ain’t ask you shit about that.”

“Listen~”

“…”

“But it is what it is. I’ve got respect for how things have turned out more than anything else. I see how much she’s helped you by staying connected. You’re not as angry as you used to be and you don’t need cigarettes to make sure you stay leveled anymore. I know that’s all because of her and her influence, and I truly respect that, I really do. I’m just saying I really don’t think it’s a good idea going to see her right now. Give her some space while all the energy you collected works its way off of you.”

“Tsk! You and her stay talkin’ about that energy, spiritual shit! How you know I wasn’t just going over there to chill?! Who told you I was looking for somethin’ else?!?”

“You don’t have to say it, I see it all over your face and I’m telling you it’s a bad idea. That’s why I stopped you.”

“Well…! She ain’t got no right to be stressin’ me over who I be fuckin’! She’s the one who doesn’t want to be in a real relationship with me! There wouldn’t even be other bitches if-”

“Aww, G.…Naw, you can’t be like that.”

“Be like what?!?!”

“Don’t go to her out of spite like that, dawg…She’s already done so much for you. Don’t hurt her like that for no good reason, it’ll kill yalls respect for real.”

“You just don’t get it…”

“No, I do get it! You just don’t know how lucky you are to even be up in that! Love’s a good girl and most niggas like you wouldn’t even have a chance!”

“Wha-” David snarled.

“I telling you, just listen to me! I know how you feel. Anyone with eyes can see how much you like Love but rubbing the consequences of what yall mutually agreed on in her face because you want more out of it won’t change a thing! If you want more then that’s definitely not the way to go about it! You know Love’s the kinda girl to keep her word and that’s all she’s doing! She’s done nothing wrong! You’re really gonna have to-”

“FUCK YOU! You’re just running your mouth right now…!! You don’t know shit about us, Jos! And IMMA DO WHAT THE FUCK I WANT!!” David roared before stomping back into his room. He’s had enough of Joseph’s bullshit! The last thing he wanted was a lecture! To think he actually had something valuable to say. David quickly got dressed and did his hair and as soon as he reached the front door of their dorm there was a knock. Joseph was about to get up to get it himself but David answered it instead.

“G., I-”

“Naw, I got this.”

“Delivery for Joseph?” the man asked.

“Yeah, how much?”

“G., I really-”

“I said I got this…! What's the price?”

“Oh, it’s uh- $35.50…”

“Cool, here you go. Keep the change,” David muttered as he took a $50 bill out his wallet to hand to him.

“Oh! Thank you, sir!”

“No problem.”

“G., DON’T-! Fuckin’ bitch…” Joseph began to shout but sighed as David took the food, opened it, and threw it down hard enough to splatter it all over the floor but not hard enough to get any of it on his brand new Burberry track suit. The deliver man watched in complete shock while David looked back at Joseph just to say,

“Enjoy your food, you little fuck.”

“Gianni, what the f-”

“‘Scuse me, homie, I’m leavin’. He’ll lock up.”

“Y- yeah, sure…!” whimpered the poor delivery man. Joseph sucked his teeth loudly as David squeezed past the man and really left. How David had friends Joseph would never know.
