All the way home I couldn't shake this feeling that something bad was gonna go down and it centered on my brother. I don't know if yall have brother but it's like he my other half. It's like without him there is no me and he is the only reason I'm here. I know what yall thinking (yall so nasty) but no I'm not romantically in love with my brother. I guess you can say it's that freaky twin thing but my mom says something happen to us b4 were born. I dnt believe it but she says that my brother got tangled up in his cord and I somehow managed to keep him from choking to death. She says ever since then I always looked out for him. I'm just doing what feels natural. That's why it scares me to death this feeling I have tonight.............. Melody: since when yall live downtown?! DaeDae: Ha ha Mom calls herself downsizing from the house on star island... JJ: If you call buyin a whole condo building and renovating the top 4 floors into your penthouse suite... downsizing. Melody: Yo mom be on some other shit fool... And why wasn't I told about this?!!! DaeDae: Cuz it's no big deal... Melody: I bet Christian ass knew bout it and I bet he been here too... I could feel her staring at me waiting for an answer but I refuse to look back. JJ: LMFAO... Yall need to jus get married already cuz ya act like it... She was right tho Christian was the only one of our friends that had been to our new house. Mom only let a few of our friends come over cuz she felt it was a security risk. Christian was 5'8, brown skin, hazel eyes. He rocked a low cut like me and his waves were deeper than mine. Everything about him was feminine. The features in his face had a delicate structure to it. He was all curves and had a ass to match. I normally dnt hang around real gay boys but it was something about his swag that made him cool and plus we clicked. We met in 7th grade when he tried to talk to me but got my bro and me mixed up. Ever since then we couldn't be separated. Christian was spoiled at a early age. I guess his Grandparents were trying to compensate for him losing his parents. DaeDae: Tranquil ° cese ma ( chill out Ma) he gon meet us later cuz my car still not ready yet so he gon drive. Melody: Nigga this damn car better be all that you keepin it under wraps like this... DaDae: Get yo ass out my brother car... lol We headed up stairs to the suite. I watched as Melody tried not to look awe struck and It was funny to see her squirm. My Mom didn't like to flash her money but when she did she went all out and This Condo was no exception. The first floor was a huge banquet hall and catering kitchen, for when she hosts her events for work or when we throw parties. The second floor was her Office and conference room etc. The third floor had our kitchen, living room, dining room, JJ and I room... No we don't share rooms.... Lol... The 4th floor was my mom's sitting room and Bedroom and the pool. I didn't like this house but Mom and JJ love it. JJ: Aye Imma go call mom. I'll be in my room. DaeDae: apruebe mi amor... pero yo wanna habla con usted aunque (Ok my love... But... Aye I wanna talk to you) JJ: Ughhh aite I know right now you probably calling me super gay but whatever cuz my brother is my love. (No homo) I finished giving Melody the tour and dropped her off in her favorite spot in the whole house... My/her closet. I kept clothes in there for her for when we decide to go out of town or she spend the night and we don't have to drive all the way to her house. My mom says I spoil her but I go hard for my girl. Plus if she with me she got to be on point. I kept everything in there for her from clothes, shoes, thongs, bras, jewelry (not too much) all her accessories. I went across the hall to JJ room and found him lying on the bed on his phone... JJ: aye Imma cal you back ... DaeDae: My bad bruh. I aint know you was on the phone, JJ: Man chill wit all that bruh... lol... but wats good? I laughed to myself cuz my bro swear his swag was so hood. But I aint gonna lie it was... now it was time to see what he really was up too tonight. DaeDae: Maine, what you doin tonight, and dnt lie cuz you know I can tell when you lying. I could tell he was nervous and struggling with the idea of telling me a lie or the truth he finally hung his head down and whispered. JJ: I'm goin to meet with these dudes from NYC for Dad..... I - DaeDae: Maine please tell me you playin?!!! Please say I'm on punked... I was getting madder every second he was quiet. I guess he was lookin for the courage to stand his ground cuz I saw his body tensed up as he stood to walk to his window. He played it smart cuz he knew if I got mad enough I would kick his ass. JJ: before you get all mad and shit jus know this was my choice! I asked Dad to let me do this so he can see I'm a man and I can take care of business when needed. I'm tired of bein treated like a lil kid! By you and Him! DaeDae: Maine YOU PROMISED ME YOU WAS DONE WITH TRYIN TO IMPRESS THIS NIGGA!! You looked me dead in my face and swore you was done! Now you bout to go make a drop? Ma will kill you if she find out. Hell she gone kill all 3 of us nigga! JJ: Fuck that! I'm grown! DaeDae: Oh you grown? What grown man you know come crawling in bed with his brother cuz he having nightmares bout the last time he made a drop for his beloved dad? What grown man you know sit in his bed at night and cry and think nobody hear em? Huh? I knew I was wrong but I wanted him to see that he didn't have to be like "Him" I couldn't understand for the life of me why he worshipped him so much. JJ: FUCK YOU KEKE!! That was low even for you... leave bruh I could see the tears in his eyes as he told me to leave. He only called me Keke when he was hurting or sad. I was the one who did both to him. DaeDae: Maine look I'm- JJ: GET THE FUCK OUT MY ROOM KE' SHAWN!!!! Damn... I knew he was beyond furious at that moment. The last time he called me that was when we was 11yrs old and he didn't speak to me for 2 months. I looked in my twins eyes and saw something I've only seen in my own reflection and it threw me off. I guess you can say it's ironic cuz my twin is my real life reflection. I walked out his room and into mine and saw Melody lookin mad as hell. Slap! Melody: go close the door... I've never seen her so mad but so calm. This Melody was kinda scary. I went and shut the door while trying not to hold my face cuz the bitch slapped the fuck out of me! Melody: You know, I've stood by you through a lot of shit and I've always had your back whether you was right or wrong but the stunt you jus pulled in there was some low, grimy, basic bitch shit! I don't care how much you hate your Dad you have no right to go and jump on him for wanting a relationship with his dad. Yeah he may be goin about wrong, but it's his life not yours! DaeDae: It may be his life but I ALWAYS CLEAN UP THE FUCKING MESS!!! Melody: THAT'S YOUR JOB NIGGA! You walk around talkin bout how you the oldest, well that's the oldest job! To be there when your younger brother needs you! And for you to throw that shit up in his face was some real bitch assness! I never thought I would say this but I'm disappointed in you Damien. I can't look at you right now..... DaeDae: Damn so I can't even say my piece or nothing you jus gon say what the fuck you want and leave? Melody: If you had something to say you would've been cut me off. You didn't do it cuz I'm right. I picked out something for you to wear already. Christian will be here @ 8 and he need some shoes. Be ready by 10. And I hope your attitude has improved greatly by then. With that Melody walked out my room and left me picking my face up off the ground. Not only did she slap but she just went off on me... in my house... The only thing that stopped me from goin after her and beatin that bitch ass was 1 I don't fight girls and 2 she was right! As much as I hate to admit it she was right. The Rican in me said the bitch was wrong and to kick her ass, but right Is right and wrong is wrong and I was dead wrong. I wanted to go over to apologize to J but I knew better. I needed to give him space and time to cool off. I layed down and drifted off to sleep. I dnt know how long I was out but I was rudely awoken by Christian jumping in the bed, Christian: Bitch! Get yo ass up ho... We goin hard 2 nite. I gathered up the girls for this occasion cuz honey yo ass never go out! Lol DaeDae: Bruh who all you got in my house?! Christian: Bitch I done told you bout callin me bruh... I am not one of yo lil trade friends... and its jus my girl cousin and Ramon.... I sat str8 up in my bed. DaeDae: Ramon here?!!! I watched as Christian slowly smiled and shook his head yeah. Let me see if I can describe Ramon for yall. He was T.I.'s gay twin/he looked jus like T.I minus the scar and he had dark grey eyes. He was skinny like T.I and stood at 6'2. Waves on swim. I was totally crushin on him and I could not believe Christian brought him. DaeDae: You messy ass faggot!!! I jumped up out of bed and immediately ran to my bathroom. I spent an extra 15 min in the shower. I normally spent 20 mins but since Ramon was here I had to go all out. And yeah I even changed outfits 6 times, which pissed Christian and Melody off. Christian: Ho you never spend this long getting ready! Ion know why you bein so extra for this nigga. I knew Melody had picked my outfit to kind of match hers so I jus tweaked it A LOT to my liking and it still matched hers. DaeDAe: I'm coming out now! I walked over to my dresser and sprayed on my perfume called Tender Rose and checked myself in the mirror. (yes I wear perfume cuz boys like that sweet smell. It's all about what attracts boys and perfume is designed to attract the male species. It's called pheromones. Look into it.) I looked in the mirror satisfied with my outfit. DaeDae: Ok lets go nigga. Christian: Wait.... What's up with you and Melody? I know something off so don't lie, DaeDAe: It's a long story I don't wanna get into so jus drop it. Right then my room door opened and Melody walked in. Melody: Damn nigga hurry up! You geetin all extra for this nigga who is str8 as an arrow... lol DaeDae; Shut up ho and lets go... lol They followed me out the room and we made our way down to the car. The thing about Melody and Me is, we can be mad at each other but still have a good time and nobody would ever suspect we beefin. We all headed to this club in Broward, Oh shit my bad, I forgot to let yall know I live in Miami Dade county... and if you still lost, Miami, Fl. We went to this dyke bar called Cloud 9. I was a regular on the club scene so I never had to stand in line. We went right in and right away Melody dragged me to the bar. We ordered a few shots of Patron. After our 4th shot we was feeling real good. I was Dancing win with this fine ass dude. I mean we were goin in hard. I wanted to strip down and have his babies. Right when the Dj changed the pace from Dutty wine to Alicia Keys Un- thinkable I felt a hand grab my wrist and pull me off the dance floor....... It was Ramon... He looked me straight in the eye and time froze for what seemed like forever then I felt my phone buzz. I t brought me out of the daze and I looked down and opened the message screen, it read Maine: I NEED YOU! HELP PLZ!!!!!!!!!
