Roman Gonzalez

When we got to the car paparazzi was everywhere my aunt wasn't use to it at all because she was shooing them with her bag meanwhile Adam was posing which made me laugh.Kehlani quickly covered her face making sure no one seen her and so did Roderick we quickly got into the car and started driving. "Is that what you guys deal with all the time ?" Adam said smiling we all said "yeah." Adam then looked at Aunt Becca "I want to experience that so much more mom." She laughed as she drove and then began to talk "so Roderick you keeping my nephew out of trouble." I motion to him saying yes, he chuckled" of course I am we actually been going to church on Sunday's." She seemed interested " oooo really what church ?" Roderick was stuck and said the dumbest answer I could possibly hear" uh home of sinners?" I face palmed then glared at him . 

My aunt didn't buy it "yeah right." Adam then was looking at Kehlani and Rodeick " I'm such a big fan of both of you guys honestly Kehlani I love your song with chance the rapper." He stopped and looked at Roderick "and you are just a beast in general." They both smirked and said "thanks ." before noticing they both said thanks and got annoyed I looked at Adam "bro how have you been ? My aunt interrupted him "yeah Adam how have you been?" She said glaring at him he looked at me nervous "well I'm a dad now." I looked at him shocked "what you mean nigga?" He smiled "well I don't know what else that can mean." Aunt Becca slapped his head he laughed "yeah he is a father." She said looking at me in the rear view mirror "damn that's crazy kid you know I'm always here for you." He laughed "of course you are you probably going to be the god father." I smiled "I better be shit." 

We pulled up to the house and I seen another car there, I looked at Aunt Becca "who car is that?" She cleared her throat while Adam looked out the window not saying much she then looked at me "don't get mad honey, that's your brothers car." As she stopped the car Kehlani rubbed my back and my aunt looked at everyone "can you guys give us a minute?" She said looking at everyone Roderick opened the door and walked out so did Adam Kehlani was about to leave until I looked at aunt bec and said "she's fine here." "Look I don't want you to blow up in there or get mad he honestly didn't come to me with any animosity or anything he honestly just wanted to meet you he known about you for a long time but was scared too meet you remember that is your brother in there and before you say or do anything stupid think about what you will miss out if you don't give him a chance." Aunt bec said looking at me before giving me a kiss on the forehead and getting out the car. Kehlani laid her head on my shoulder and I did the same and finally I got out the car and walked inside the house with Kehlani on my side. When I got in I noticed him at the table I told Kehlani to give us some time and she nodded her head before giving me a kiss on the cheek and walking away into the living room.

Abraham Rhodes

I sat down as I saw him sat across from me he looked a little angry I cleared my throat and smiled at him. "What's up?" He said looking at me I mean I wanted to get up and give him a hug but I didn't know how he would feel about that.He sat there looking at me not saying much not even responding and I just had to let him know how I felt. "Look I know this must be weird you just finding out about you having a brother you never knew, and I just want to say that I get the timing is inconvenient." He looked at me intensely before looking away.

 "How does ESPN know I have a brother and I don't did you like tell them or something and if so how ?" He placed his hand on the table getting comfortable "Look honestly I was talking to my wife." He interrupted "wife? You got kids too?" I nodded before reaching into my back pocket and bringing out my wallet and tossing it to him. He grabbed it looking at the photo of my kids and wife in my wallet. "Yeah I do her name is Melanie and we have a son who is 3 and a daughter who is 6 Bryson, and Onyx, but I wrote a letter to ESPN honestly I didn't know if they were going to read it or not. I didn't know how to reach you and your aunt gave me your number but I was scared honestly just to call you and be like this is your big bro." 

He chuckled I nervously chuckled back "so yeah I honestly wanted to meet you bro if you don't mind me calling you that." He smiled "nah your cool bro." I smiled big and saw him looking at the picture of our dad in my wallet." This dad?" He said in a low tone "yeah it is ." I said in a calm voice "you talk to him still ?" I didn't want to answer the question because I honestly don't know how he would feel "yeah I still talk to him." I can tell that hurt because he balled up his fist and he threw the wallet back at me and got up and walked out the door. I got up following him I saw him sitting down on the step with his head down in what it seemed like deep thought. "You know when I was little everyday I would ask my mom about him and honestly I would wonder what kind of man would leave a kid and a woman all by themselves, good thing we had Aunt Bec." I noticed his eyes get teary I sat down by him and hugged him at first he was resisting until he hugged me back and just sobbed for a bit. "Look Roman I know what you mean I didn't know dad at all until I reached out to him when I was in high school honestly I still don't have answers for what he did to me but I learn to forgive him I'm not saying you do but if you want we can meet him someday like together." He looked at me angry "it's a little too late for that bro trust me." He then wiped his face with his sleeve before looking at me "you know I always wonder what it would be like to have a big brother." He said smiling "I always wondered what it would be like to have a little brother I'm an only kid like you." He laughed "I'm not an only kid I have a sister my mom adopted her she'll like you." We both got up and walked into the living room where everyone looked at us and started smiling his Aunt came up to both of us giving us a hug and a kiss on the cheeks.

Kehlani Parrish

I looked at Roman and his brother just talking the night away getting to know each other, it was cute seeing him connecting with his family. Suddenly my phone started ringing and I got up excusing myself before walking to the bathroom, I shut the door and sat on the bathtub.

"Hello Kehlani where are you at ?" my manager said in a tone. "Chill I'm with Roman in ..." I stopped realizing if I said Ohio he would lose it. "I'm in Ohio ." I said nervously before hearing him on the other end "OHIOOO?! Why are you there you have two shoots tomorrow a meet and greet and a concert at the mall for the make a wish kids ?!" I grabbed the phone placing it near my ear whispering "I know I know." He interrupted "what is your exact location I gave him my location " okay get an uber and go to the airport and got on the first flight back to LA we can't have you doing this at a time like this bye Kehlani." He hung up the phone and I look down letting a sigh out and dropping my head shaking it.

 I got up and looked at myself in the mirror I opened the door and Roman came in and shut the door behind him. He smiled looking at me and I was confused "why you so happy weirdo" he stepped closer and said "I don't know just happy you are here and we can spend it together for two days." He said reaching for my hand I looked down because I didn't want to tell him. He left my chin up before giving me a kiss on the lips slowly and grabbing my face and kissing me again and smiling in between it, he placed his forehead on mine and gave me another kiss. I stopped as we began to walk "Roman I can't stay for two days." he stopped walking and looked back "why not ?" I looked up at him grabbing his face then kissing him "look don't get me wrong I would like to spend two more days with you but I have a busy scheldue I'm supposed to be at something right now but I'm here ." He let go of my hand " so why are you here, you can't be missing things out because of me." I looked at him confused "so you are not mad ?" " no I understand you have a career and everything and you got priorities too ." 

I smiled big before kissing him on his lips my hands went behind his neck and he gripped my waist as I bit his lip he slipped his tongue in my mouth and picking me up and placing me on the sink. I laughed as he kissed on my neck "we can't be doing this in here your aunt is downstairs with your brother." He continued kissing my neck I laughed a bit trying to push him off. He then pinned my hands to the wall and started sucking on my neck and honestly I was getting turned on. "Roman stop." I said moaning a bit throwing my head back I then grabbed him and started kissing on him feeling on him and sucking on his neck and kissing his lips softly. We began making it out heavily he was groping on my ass and body as I felt all around on him. We suddenly heard a knock at the door and Roman said "occupied." I laughed pushing him off and fixing my hair and everything he then looked at me smiling grabbing on my waist as we walked out his cousin looked at me and him chuckling.

 "In the bathroom really?!" Roman wiped the lipgloss he had on his lips laughing as we both walked downstairs. When we walked downstairs we went separate ways before his aunt said "there is a Black car that reads uber?" I looked at her smiling "that's my ride." She looked at me confused "ride? Well where you going,you coming back." Roman looked at her "aunt bec she's a singer and she is very busy she missed some things just by coming and I didn't want her missing anymore so I called her an uber." He lied to her and she understood she then came up to me and gave me a hug and kiss "you take care now honey." I then started to walk out the door before Roman followed me "I'm just going to walk her out ."he said walking behind me. We got outside which was cold and he quickly grabbed me before giving me a kiss," just hit me up when you aren't busy and we can do something." I smiled kissing him back "I'd like that." Before walking into the car he walked by the door and just watched as the car left down the block before going back inside.

When I got back in everyone was at the kitchen table eating and talking I looked at Roderick and I told him to come over here. He got up off the table and began to walk before aunt bec looked at him and cleared her throat he chuckled "my bad can I be excuse ?" She smiled "yes you can baby." He followed me to the living room, "we cool right because I don't know we haven't talked all day and I didn't know how you were feeling." He looked at me placing his hand on my shoulder "if you talking about Kehlani that's old news bro don't worry we straight my nigga." I looked at him shaking him up"coo coo." We both walked back to the kitchen table and start smashing on some mash potatoes and gravy and some breaded chicken breast with collard greens and corn. We then played some games that aunt bec brought out before we all headed to bed Abraham left and we exchanged numbers and I told him that whenever he wants he can call me and either I'll come back or he should see if he can come over with his family. Everyone was asleep and all I can hear was Roderick snoring in my room on the ground on the air mattress aunt bec brought out for him.

 I got up and walked to the basement to watch some tv and my phone started ringing and I looked at it and it was Janelis. "Hey are you up ?" "Yeah I'm up why are you up ?" I said looking at the time. "Hold on let me call you on FaceTime." She transferred to FaceTime and she was in this tank top with her hair up and she was smiling into the phone. "Why you so smiley?" I said chuckling "I don't know I'm just happy to see you I guess." She looked away blushing "Awee you missed me ?" I said laughing she rolled her eyes "not really was bored ." She laughed looking at my face which was serious "I'm joking I'm joking no but I just wanted to see what all happened between you and your brother."I placed my hand in my shorts to get warm since the basement was cold "it went good honestly I'm an uncle apparently now." She looked at me shock "wow have you met your niece or nephew? "Both and no I haven't I told him he can come over sometime and his family can stay at my house." I said laying down looking at her."that's crazy your an uncle maybe one of the cutest uncle I seen." She laughed "Janelis was that flirting ?" I smirked "maybe it was maybe it wasn't." She said smirking hiding her face. I smiled and she smiled back I did a funny face and so did she I laughed laying back down"what you doing ?" She said taking a bite of something "laying down talking to you what you eating you going to share ?" I said smirking "probably if you were here I would." I chuckled "that probably word is funny, you would be sharing." She laughed "well shit I guess I might with your big ass ." I laughed and I heard the doorbell "who is at your house and this time ?" She laughed "9 o clock I don't know, let me go check I'll call you back don't fall asleep."
