Chapter 2 Find Your Love

"Yo, are you ok?" he asked again, with his hand reaching out to me to pull
me up.

"Yea I think so," I replied, "is this your dog?" I asked placing my hand in
his while he pulled me up and knocked the dirt off of me. A couple of times
his hand grazed my butt but I played it off thinking he was just being
friendly.

"Yea this is Rocks," he said turning to pet him, "he didn't hurt you did
he? You fell down pretty hard." Before I could respond my brothers came
running over to check on me.

"Hey, Jayse are you ok?" Jamarion asked placing his hand on my back.

"Are you ok Jayse? Whose dog is this anyway?" Jeryn asked upset.

"Yea and why is the owner not out here with him?" Jamarion yelled, "What
kind of neighborhood is this?"

"Yo chill kid, it's my dog aight and I was walking him until he got loose
and ran over here" the young guy stated back at Jamarion.

"Oh yea, well he almost hurt my brother," Jamarion said taking a step
forward, "and I would appreciate it if you would handle him next time." One
thing I must admit is that my brothers were always defensive of me, maybe
because I am very soft hearted and soft spoken and most of all gay. My
older brother Jamie was gay too but everyone still felt the need to protect
me, even Jeryn, and he was two years younger than me.

"Look lil homie, I already apologized to yo brother, now if you wanna do
this rite now we could," the stranger said taking a step towards
Jamarion. They were both the same height and build, but the stranger seemed
to be a little rougher than Jamarion. That plus I knew Jamarion. His
favorite hobby was boxing but he hated fighting unless he had too.

"Look Jamarion calm down ok," I pleaded, "this guy has already apologized
and it's cool."

"Whatever, let's go," Jamarion said, grabbing me and Jeryn's wrists
forcefully and walking us towards the house.

"Boys what seems to be the problem over here?" my dad asked meeting us in
the yard.

"Nothing dad, Jayse just fell when a dog came running towards him, and me
and Jeryn came to see if he was alright," Jamarion responded rubbing my
head, "he fell down pretty hard too."

"I can speak for myself" I said, "stop speaking for me like I'm some little
kid." I said pushing his hand down from my head.

"You got a voice now! You didn't say much when that guy was over here,"
Jamarion teased seriously. I rolled my eyes and looked back. Where did he
go?

"Who was that guy?" my dad asked walking with us to the front steps.

"Some punk that wanted to act tough," Jamarion spoke confidently.

"He's not a punk" I retorted back sharply.

"Jayse stop taking up for someone you don't even know!" Jamarion yelled
annoyed. "God! Not everyone is sincere all the time."

"I didn't say he was but you came running over like you were marking your
territory or something. The guy apologized. It was a mistake alright." I
said walking past him and into the living room.

"So I should have just left you over there with a stranger" Jamarion asked
throwing his hands up.

" I didn't say that" I said getting tired of his bickering, "You are acting
very immature right now."

"Keep on Jayse" Jamarion said, "you been on my case since we got here man,
chill"

"Boys enough!" My dad shouted, "Jeryn, Jamarion go to the car and get the
rest of the stuff. Jayse come over here and let me check your head for any
bruises.

"But dad me and Jerry can't get all this stuff by ourselves..." Jamarion
whined.

"You talking back to me, boy?" my dad yelled upset.

"No sir" Jamarion replied back, "let's go Jerry."

"You sure you're ok?" my dad asked turning his attention back on me by
placing his hands thoroughly through my hair checking to see if I had any
bruises.

"I'm fine dad...ow" I said when he touched a sore spot on my head.

"Sure...you're ok alright," he laughed, "let me go see if I have any
bandages for that" my dad said and ran outside. I went to the blinds to
look out and see if that boy was still outside but he wasn't. The only
things I saw were my mom still talking, my brothers unloading the stuff
from the SUV and the moving trucks pulling in. Yea I said it right
trucks. We had three moving trucks outside but they weren't that big. It's
not like we had that much stuff anyway but I guess with mom's business
stuff, our personal stuff, and furniture, three trucks seemed about
right. My dad came back in, bandaged my head and told me to rest in the
back of the house out of the way while everyone brought the stuff in. I'm
spoiled too what can I say.

I went walking outside and looked at the trees and flowers while I wished I
had something to write on because I felt a poem coming on. I reached in my
pocket to get my phone and check to see if I had any missed calls. Just two
from my big brothers, so I decided to check my voicemail later; I looked to
see if I had any texts but it was empty. It's been 5 months now. I guess
Daniel didn't want to talk to me anymore. Not that I am shocked or anything
because I knew that once he went off to college last year that things would
change between us. He said they wouldn't but what would a college guy want
with a high school boy anymore anyway. My fingers wanted so badly to text
him but my heart and mind said to let it go. Yesterday would have made our
two-year anniversary but obviously that meant nothing. It's almost like he
just fell off the face of the planet. Everytime I asked people about him
they said they didn't hear anything. His mom hated me and his dad was out
being a drunk somewhere so that only left his brother who went to NY.

"I wish I could find out where my baby was" I said softly to myself.

"Hey baby are you ok?" my mom asked sitting down beside me on the steps.

"Uhh...Hey mom! I just wish I knew how to swim" I said hoping she wouldn't
pick up on anything.

"There is always time to learn sweetie," she said, "but do you think that
would impress Danny?"

"Mom, I don't wanna talk about him right now," I whined, "can we please
talk about something else."

"I'm sorry Jayse" my mother said rubbing my back, "what do you wanna talk
about? The new neighborhood, the big house, your new school or that cute
boy you were talking to with your brothers? What's his name?"

"I don't know" I replied blushing, "you...you think he was cute too?"

"Of course sweetie, didn't you? Why didn't you get his name?" my mom asked
playing in my hair.

"I wanted too but Jamarion and Jerry came over there messing everything up"
I said pouting.

"Oh I see. So if your brothers didn't come to your defense then you would
have known his name?" my mom asked.

"Of course" I replied.

"But they did so they were cramping your style?" she asked.

"What?" I asked confused. My mom got up to touch the flowers around the
house while she asked me more questions.

"Your brothers are the cause for you not knowing who this guy was?" my mom
continued.

"Sorta, he apologized for his dog attacking me" I said softly.

"So he introduced himself after apologizing right?" my mom asked quizzing.

"Mom are you hearing me? He only had time to apologize" I said out loud.

"Yes baby but obviously you're not keeping up" she said taking her shoes
off her feet and dipping them into the pool, "You said that he apologized
that's more than enough time to introduce yourself."

"You would rather him introduce himself than apologize?" I asked confused.

"No but if I threw something at you and said I'm sorry, then checked to see
if you were ok afterwards to finally introduce myself then I am being
formal, apologetic and opening up the conversation" she said kicking her
feet up in the water.

"But mom, I asked him if it was his dog that attacked me" I said, grabbing
my phone while it was vibrating. I looked at the screen but it was Jamie,
my big brother, so I pressed END to send it to voicemail.

"So you steered the conversation to the dog?" my mom asked.

"Kind of, I didn't know if it was his dog or not" I said.

"But he responded and said it was?" she asked.

"Yes mom, where are you going with this?" I asked intrigued.

"Well Jayse it's simple. If he had time to introduce himself you would know
his name." my mom stated.

"Mom I don't care about that" I said finding this both hilarious and
annoying.

"Then why are you around here moping?" my mom asked finally looking at me
in the face.

"Because...I'm, I'm not moping ok!" I said turning my back to her to grab
my phone.

"Then why won't you look me in the eyes and say that" my mom said. Like any
mother she knew when we were lying because my brothers and I all had the
same tell, turning away and finding something to touch.

"Your phone is fine sweetheart, answer me?" my mom asked.

"I'm not moping because of Danny mom," I said softly through clenched
teeth.

"I thought we were talking about the young man that was here" she said.

"Hey Jennifer where do you want this stuff to go?" my dad asked from the
doorway, holding one of my mom's expensive vases.

"Coming sweetie" my mom said getting out of the pool, "Jayse you can't put
your life on hold for someone that is not interested in you anymore. You're
young, handsome and very talented. I'm not trying to make you feel bad
sweetie, I love you, and I care about you. Give yourself a chance to meet
new people."

"I know mom, I love you too." I said hugging her.

"Now let me go in here before they ruin the house already" she said walking
into the house.

She was right, why didn't I ask his name and why didn't he offer? Why was I
still thinking about him when this all took place an hour ago? He's not
that important. Just another cute kid who is probably straight and wants
nothing to do with me. I hate crushing on guys so quick. The product of my
raging hormones I guess. I walked around the house to the front to help but
Jamarion saw me and walked away.

"Jamarion I'm sorry...can I help?" I asked sincerely.

"Didn't dad tell you to go in the back and rest out of the way? Stop being
difficult and do as your told" Jamarion barked back.

"Stop talking to me like that! You always treating me like a kid, Jamarion"
I said defensively, "Why do you have to be so mean to me?" I asked grabbing
a box from the moving truck.

"Because you're always doing and saying stupid things, Jayse" he retorted
back sternly grabbing the box and placing it back on the truck.

"I give up. I'm tired of fighting with you over nothing" I said walking
away.

"Whatever" he said and went back to working.

I looked around for Jerry but I couldn't find him. Dad probably has him
doing something else. I wanted to walk around inside the house but I didn't
want to get in the way so I just went back into the SUV, grabbed my Ipod
and listened to Sade to calm me down. I grabbed my notebook and walked back
into the back of the house on the deck and started writing.

New love was what I wanted, Young love was what we had, This love, you have
to own it, Otherwise it will turn out bad

I cried for months but not anymore, These eyes were yours to adore, Now
your lost to me and I miss you, Tell me Danny, what should I do?

I continued to write until someone placed their hands over mine. I jumped
at first and tried to move them but they had a nice grip over me.

"Guess who?" I heard faintly because my headphones were still in my ear
playing Soldier of Love by Sade.

"I don't know" I responded, although their hands were really soft and their
voice was really soft.

"Who's your favorite cousin in the whole wide world?" the male voice asked
loudly.

"Maxie!" I screamed out loud. I got up to see if I was right and I
was. Maxwell, known to everyone in the family as Max is my best and closest
cousin in the whole world. Our birthdays were a month apart, we almost
looked identical, except Max had big eyes compared to my small ones and
thin lips compared to my full lips. They weren't soup coolers but they
definitely stood out. He had a Mohawk that wasn't bald on the sides. I
guess the black version of Mohawks now. He had stars all cut in his head
with red glitter all around which I later found out because of course he
saw himself as one. Highly Conceited!

"What are you doing here?" I asked giving him the biggest hug ever.

"Your mom called me and told me to come over. Look at you I haven't seen
you in forever cuz!" Max stated standing away to get a good look at me. Max
didn't look to bad neither and the fact that he was just as skinny as me,
people would really think we were twins.

"I was gonna call you later so that we could hook up but I forgot" I said
trying to change the subject.

"Yea, sure, whatever. You likin' the south or are you missing the Midwest
already?" Max asked sitting down next to me.

"It's ok, it's just so hot down here." I stated fanning myself.

"Yea I have to show you the spots where the guys are. I've been gettin' you
to come down here for the longest but you too much of a divo for me." Max
stated leaning back in the patio chair. "Auntie and uncle Jeff sure know
how to live. I'm gonna be over here everyday."

"First of all I am not a divo, and you're the one to talk your dad is a
judge and your mom is a journalist. I bragged about Aunt Priscilla all the
time back home. My classmates couldn't believe that she was the one who
interviewed Yung Child and made him come out on national television" I said
while looking down at my phone.

"Yea my mom is brilliant. Living with a journalist and a judge can make you
question everything you do. I swear they ask me for the third degree on
everything. This new guy I am dating is from a rich family as well, but his
mom is the local psychologist. Anyway, my mom is always trying to get me to
act a certain way when I got to visit him and when I bring him to the house
dad wants to know if he slings drugs and mom wants to know if he is really
being faithful to me" Max said, "sometimes I just tell him don't come by
let's meet up and he tells me the same thing."

"Aww, I wanna meet him. Is he cute?" I asked.

"Here" Max said as he gave me his phone with a picture of him and his
boyfriend as a screensaver on his phone. "Ain't he cute?" Max asked
blushing.

"Yea he is" I said thinking about Danny. "What's his name?" I asked handing
Max his phone back.

"Richie Milton IV, but you can call him Rich. He's named after his dad" Max
said staring at the picture in his phone. I remember that look. Gazing at
the man you love.

"His dad's name is Richie?" I asked confused.

"No silly his dad's name is Richard but he hates that name so he asks
everybody to call him either Richie or Rich. I just call him Rich because I
think its cuter." Max stated blushing.

"Well on that note I will call him Richie" I said looking at Max and
noticing that from far away you would have never guessed he was gay. He
really was like me, slightly feminine but not too much that it showed a
lot.

"So you and Danny still talkin'? You didn't mention anything about him last
family reunion." Max stated.

"Next topic" I blurted out very quick.

"But Jayse...what happened?" Max said, finally looking up at me and closing
his phone.

"I don't wanna talk about it" I said sulking "let's talk about something
else."

"Forget that. Since you don't wanna talk let me show you around the
neighborhood" Max stated happily.

"Max I am not dressed for going out" I said grumpy.

"You talkin' like we goin' to the club. I really just wanna introduce you
to my two best friends and my boyfriend...and maybe some other people."
Max said, "what you got on is good. You rich people are a trip."

"I'm not rich" I said blatantly.

"Whatever, grab your phone let's go" Max said as he grabbed me by my hand
and dragged me off the patio. "We'll be back in a few auntie Jazz." We
walked around to the front of the house when I stopped and gazed at his
car.

"This is your car?" I exclaimed. It was a red 2005 clk Mercedees Benz 2
door coupe.

"Actually my sister, she gave it to me after she got a 2007" Max said
walking up to the car.

"And you say that I am rich" I said as a matter of factly.

"You guys are living in the most expensive house on the block" Max said
getting in.

"How do you know?" I asked placing my seat belt on.

"The last owners fixed the place up and rebuilt it before leaving" Max said
between texting on his phone. He finally cranked the car up and we drove
out the cul-de-sac.

"Who were they?" I asked looking out the window.

"Stop asking so many questions. Have you heard this song yet?" Max asked
while playing a rap song I never even heard of.

"I don't listen to rap, but the girl singing the hook sounds good." I said
bopping my head with the beat.

"Well I should have known that you probably didn't. It's this guy from the
area named Brandon but his rap name is B-True. He and a couple of his
friends and cousins got a rap studio downtown" Max said making turns on
every street. I hope he knew where he was going.

"Oh well good for them" I said trying to change the subject.

"Ok first stop meet the gang" Max said as we pulled up to Al's Hangout. It
was this local teen spot that was a diner and arcade mixed into one. A lot
of teens were over here and I looked around to see if my mystery guy was
anywhere near. No sign of him, I thought.

"Come on, I've been bragging about you forever. The guys want to meet you
so bad." Max said unbuckling his seat belt and getting out the car. "Don't
start that shy thing again."

"I'm not shy I just don't know these kids and I hate crowds" I complained
unbuckling my seat belt and getting out the car.

"Well time out for all of that divo, for real. Let's go!" Max said
forcefully and got out the car to walk around to me. We walked inside and
Max shook a couple of kids' hands along the way. He almost looked like a
celebrity, how popular he was with everyone. I never was popular at my old
school. People knew me but not to the point that they stopped what they
were doing and came over to speak to me. A couple of cute guys stopped and
looked at me. One guy even got bold and walked up to me asking for my name
and number. I just smiled and said I'm with someone.

"It's cool" he said walking away smiling, "I'll catch ya later, homie." He
stood back with his friends scoping me out. I turned around a few times to
look at him and he wasn't that bad looking neither. He dapped up a few of
his homeboys and whispered something and started laughing. He then grabbed
his bulge and winked at me while licking the bottom row of his teeth. God I
loved thugs. I am so glad I attracted them more than I attracted pretty
boys. No offense but though I am slightly feminine, I don't wear makeup or
anything, but I notice some pretty boys are just too caught up on their
looks for me. I like that rugged, masculine, good with his hands, deep
voice, and manly man to come my way. He whistled at me trying to call me
but I kept on walking. We walked up to a table in a corner with 4 guys
sitting down and I immediately got nervous.

"Jayse these are my friends. This is Tony. Sitting beside him is his
boyfriend Omar and over here is Eric and his boyfriend beside him Mario.

"Hey Jayse!" they all said in unison. They all seemed happier to see me
than I was to see them.

"Hey guys" I said throwing my hand up, "nice to meet you all."

"Sit down," Tony offered sliding down for me to sit next to him, "Max told
us a lot `bout you." Tony was very attractive. He was very light skinned,
with pink lips and green eyes, probably contacts. He had a Mohawk like
Max's but without the designs. His hair was curly like mine but my hair was
sorta like a medium afro. He was very thin we nice bone structure and a
small mole on the right side of his face above his top lip. His skin was
baby smooth with no scars and his boyfriend was just as attractive. Omar
was light skinned as well but a shade darker than Tony. He had his hair in
corn rows to his back and his hair looked so soft like baby hair. I later
found out that he was Puerto Rican. He had a thin mustache with long side
burns that connected and a goatee. This made him look older than he was but
I think that this is what he was going for. He was medium build wearing a
tank top that showed off his cute pecs. I could see his brow nipples
through the shirt and I go crazy over nipples.

"So I heard, I wish I could have known much about you guys too" I said
looking around and taking my seat. Max sat on the other side of the table
across from me by Eric and Mario.  "Well Mario and I have dated the longest
out of everybody here," Eric started, "we were friends in elementary school
until middle school when I told Mario I had a crush on him. He got mad and
stopped talking to me but a couple of days later apologized and said that
he had one on me too, but didn't want to be gay."

I could tell that I would like Eric a lot because he talked the most out of
the whole group. He was brown skin, almost the shade of mahogany, and had
deep dimples that showed when he talked and poked in his face even further
when he smiled. Also he had his hair in dreds that came to his shoulders
and looked really good. This was the first time I ever seen a guy with
dreds up close because in the Midwest there were very few black people to
begin with. They actually looked neat as well and small not ugly like Lil'
Wayne's. He had full lips like mine and the most perfect teeth I ever
seen. He defined piano teeth. He was thin as well, and one of those people
that loved to talk with their hands. Mario on the other hand, was fine. He
had a bald head with thick eyebrows, with a beard and goatee connected. He
was the same shade as Eric and so masculine. I loved how he was posted up
on the seat with his arm around Eric and his deep brown eyes. I tried not
to look at him because I didn't want to start any trouble but he was so
cute. He licked his lips a couple of times, not at me, but just in general
and that was always a turn on for me. Easy Jayse, calm down these guys may
end up being your future friends. I turned my head back to Eric who was
still going on about him and Mario while my hard on subsided.

"Ok that's enough of all of that," Max said stopping Eric, "Anybody seen
Rich? He said that he would meet us all here but I thought he was here
already."

"Naw shawtie, he ain't said nothing to me," Mario said. God, even his voice
was deep and masculine. Please stop talking I thought to myself.

"I'm going to call him. I'll be right back Jayse I'm going outside." Max
said as he got up.

"Ok" I said twiddling my thumbs looking around.

"He's in good hands. So are you enjoying the summer so far?" Tony asked
looking at me in my eyes.

"Uh...yea" I said, "Sucks to be moving right in the middle of summer but oh
well. How can you guys take the heat out here?"

"This ain't nothing, you should visit Brooklyn right now. It's crazy there
son" Omar said with his deep accent.

"Is that where you are from?" I asked him.

"Yea my mom and dad got a divorce two years ago so I came down here with my
mom to the durty south," he said kissing Tony on the cheek.

"We ain't durty. Stop saying it like that. This isn't the ATL" Tony said
blushing.

"ATL isn't dirty neither. I have family over there" Eric defended.

"I don't mean like that. People consider ATL the dirty south and everything
else just the south" Tony stated.

"Yea you're right. I wanna go to ATL one day. I haven't been there in
years." Eric said playing with the salt shaker.

"You ain't missin' much trust me" Tony said looking around the building.

"Why, what's over there that ain't got your attention?" Omar asked.

"Seriously dude, right now?" Tony asked defensively looking over at Omar.

"Boo I just asked you a question, quit bugging" Omar said.

"You said it like I did somethin' over there. What you trying to say?" Tony
asked sitting up looking like he was ready for an argument. I looked at
Omar and Tony and then over at Eric and Mario and they looked like they
were used to the couple fighting. So much that they just stared at them.

"Look here T, if you wanna act up you can, but I ain't down wit all that
shit right now" Omar said sounding frustrated. I like his laid back
attitude but could tell that this wasn't the first fight neither.

"Ok he's coming over right now. He had to get his little sister from his
grandma's house. What I miss?" Max said sitting down and looking around the
table at everybody.

"Nothing just the usual lovebirds squabbling at each other" Eric said
sighing.

"Shut up Eric. We weren't fighting. Just clearing some stuff out" Tony
yelled.

"You call that clearing stuff out" Eric asked.

"Yes Eric arguing doesn't entail fighting all the time besides this
argument was important not some silly love squabble" Tony stated.

"Are you serious?" Tony...you guys were arguing about a city!" Eric
screamed.

"Babe chill ok" Mario said pulling Eric back in his seat. Could Mario be
any more adorable.

"At least I have a voice when it comes to relationships" Tony said looking
at Eric and Mario. Eric looked at Tony very upset to the point of being
betrayed. He obviously told him something that wasn't supposed to be said.

"Oh God I'm sorry Eric. Dude I am so, so sorry. Please forgive me! I didn't
mean to say anything Eric. I am so sorry forget I said anything" Tony
pleaded reaching his hands out across the table to Eric.

"Leave me alone" Eric snapped grabbing his hands away from Tony.

"Whatchu talking about shawty?" Mario said looking over at Tony and
removing his arm from around Eric.

"Nothing forget I said anything" Tony said placing his hand over his mouth.

"Ok guys lets just talk about something else right quick ok. It's too much
tension at this table right now. Besides this is my cousin first time
meeting ya'll. Ya'll gonna run him back to the corn fields in Nebraska.

"Shut up Max" I said laughing and kicking him lightly under the table.

Mario paused for a minute still staring at Tony, "You're right
Max. Everything is cool. You good babe?" he asked Eric placing his hand
over his thigh.

"Yea baby I'm good" Eric responded fixing his hair, "I'm sorry Max and I'm
especially sorry Jayse."

"Yea everybody I apologize for yelling." Tony said and then placed his arm
around me, "I hope I didn't scare you off" he pleaded.

"No I'm good everybody. Thanks." I said looking around at the table. Boy
did my cousin know how to put everyone in check or what. What kind of power
did he have over these people and more importantly what was that whole
thing between Eric and Tony. Something is telling me that I was soon gonna
find out.

"Ooooh damn, that's my song" Max screamed when the DJ started playing
Drake's Find Your Love, "C'mon ya'll let's dance." Max shouted getting up
from the table and dragging me with him. I looked back and everybody got up
and started dancing together. Eric and Tony reached over their boyfriends'
shoulders and grabbed each other by the fingers smiling. I thought that was
so cute. They must have made up I thought to myself smiling. I started
dancing with Max but he started getting a little too loose for me besides a
guy grabbed him and started grinding on him. I found out later that this
was Rich. He really was cute. Almond brown skin like me with a low cut and
wearing a brown fedora with a brown striped button down shirt and some
khakis. Not to mention his shirt was open and his abs were screaming for
attention.  His look screamed preppy not to mention the square glasses but
he pulled it off and made nerdy look really sexy. His eyes were small and
when he looked over at me, smiled and waved I blushed at how cute he was. I
read Max's lips saying "this is Rich." He gave Rich a deep kiss and before
I knew it they disappeared in the crowd. I was dancing by myself for a
minute until this guy tapped my shoulder. I turned around and it was him,
the boy from earlier today. He whispered in my ear and asked if I wanted
company. I blushed and shook my head yea. For once I actually listened to
the words of his song "Find Your Love." I looked the guy in his eyes and he
looked in mine as he wrapped his arms around my waist. I looked deep in his
eyes as if saying, I better find your love today or at least know your
name.
