Ch. 11
JULISSA:
"The person you are trying to reach is not available, please leave a voice message after the tone" the automated woman's voice said as Julissa called Huey phone several times well 20 times in counting so how dare he didn't pick up Julissa thought angrily did he not get that he was her boyfriend and if she called his ass he better answer shaking her head dropping her phone on her queen sized bed and flopping next to it.
"Whatever he can't avoid me forever, I don't know why he making this so difficult, " she muttered to herself getting up and walking downstairs to the spacious lavish living room her father's campaign people was here today with posters and flyers all saying vote for Kerry Premont for governor.
"Yes, I need my election ball to be perfect Jonathan get anybody whose anybody there celebrities will definitely get me noticed, I want to convince the people of Baltimore that I'm for the people and one hundred percent is all for making the community a better place" her father said looking dapper in his pinstriped suit and talking away on his cell.
Her mother was busy looking at food selections and table swatches for the event her hair pulled up in a nice bun and was also wearing a nice pinstriped suit except her's was a skirt set. And talking to one of their maids now Gloria I want at least a thousand of those shrimp cocktails for the guests and make sure that nice French restaurant provide us with their best wine, it's already been paid for, just make sure they send it to us" she said clicking away on her cell while the maid just nodded to everything she said.
Growing bored watching them Julissa decided to see what her brother was up too as she made her way to their private game room Stephon was busy playing 2k14 with a couple of his high school buddies how he managed to be able to hang with high school kids she would never know but it made him look cool so she knew why he did. there were a couple of pizza boxes and half empty cans of soda by the bar laid around "um could you guys clean up after yourself please" she said wrinkling her nose with disgust. flopping down on the couch next to her brother who was intensely focus on his game.
Him and his friends just snorted as their response, making Julissa rolled her eyes. "Don't you have some place to be or something to do" Stephon said, his eyes not leaving the screen."well, I could have been talking to Huey but he's ignoring my calls" Julissa grumbled. Stephon scoffed "relationship problems already, " he said as his friend yelled out score triumphantly. "It's just taking some time" Julissa said, scowling Huey freeman really didn't understand the art of blackmail she probably needed to remind him and get him in place real quick she thought.
And her brother had some nerve pointing out her flaws with Huey why wasn't he working on nappy headed Dubois. "Why aren't you in Dubois face just cause you gave her some sweet comfort in one night doesn't mean your job is finished" Julissa said pointedly, "things do take time baby sis at least Jazmine acknowledge my presence and not avoid me the way I see freeman is doing has he answered any of your calls yet" Stephon said smirking "no but he will"Julissa grumbled slumping back in the couch. Her brother just snickered. He can laugh all he wants, he just better do what he's suppose to do. And she'll deal with Mr. freeman she thought.
RILEY/HUEY:
"Boys!" Their grandfather yelled upstairs " What"! They both yelled in unison "I'm headed to the store to get some seasoning that I forgot for my roast if my baby comes back before I do let her know" their granddad yelled back. "Alright granddad we'll tell that ho" Riley yelled back dryly. Ignoring his granddad protest as he went out the front door.
Now was the perfect time to set this board up Riley thought taking out his braids he originally planned to do this once granddad and one eye ruckus left for their convention, but after that little bathroom incident something needed to be done and Riley was convinced that his brother was traumatized by the situation because he was doing more gayer shit than usual.
For example, that ho ass girlfriend of his had called him twenty times and all huey did was look at the phone and pressed ignore every time she was called, but this was his girlfriend, he claimed he wanted to be with so why this nigga looked like he was having constipation every time she called. But he would get to the bottom of that situation once he got rid of Cristal.
currently his brother was staring at the ceiling scowling. When Riley told him he was about to set the plan in motion, he just shrugged his shoulders indifferently and didn't even look his way. Riley quickly unloosened his last braid and combed it out his hair was just as long as huey's right now he looked exactly like Huey looking at himself shaking is head amused.
He grabbed one of Huey's black and tan khaki pants and black combat boots and threw them at once he was finished, he stood in front of Huey "how I look nigga gay right" Riley said gesturing to himself. Huey finally took his eyes from the ceiling and scowled at his brother and rolled his eyes Huey didn't want to admit it, but Riley definitely looked one hundred percent like him in his clothes and everything .
It was like seeing two huey's in one bedroom. "Riley just because you're dressed like me doesn't mean you'll be able to pulled this off" Huey said looking bored again. "And why not nigga?" Riley said annoyed. "Well, you certainly don't sound like me or act like me, that's for one thing" Huey said smirking. Riley rolled his eyes "Honestly Huey is that all, acting like you and sounding like you really is not that hard, "he said imitating his brother voice and posture perfectly.
Huey raised his eyebrows amazed. okay Riley was onto something. "Okay, you got the speech down and maybe my posture, but what about how I act" Huey said, sitting up Riley rolled his eyes again and sat down in the Huey's computer chair grabbed one of his books and gave a scowl that Huey would be proud of.
"Okay" Huey said, nodding convinced. "Better get the camera" Riley said, standing up as Huey grabbed the small camcorder as they went downstairs, they placed the camcorder in a plant across the couch in the living room. Riley sat across the plant and made sure he was in full view of the camera. "This might be your chance Riley" Huey said, looking out the window cristal was pulling up in the yard.
"Quick turn the camera on" Riley said, sitting down on the couch in act with a book open on his lap. Huey quickly turned the camera to record and quickly but quietly walked upstairs. As soon as Huey was gone riley pretended to read. Just as cristal walked in. "Robert I'm home, " she said, beaming with a pile of shopping bags.
"He's not here" Riley said coldly. She looked at him smirking dropping her bags on the floor and walked over to him. "Aw is Huey still mad at me, " she cooed at him. plopping down on the couch next to him. "Perfect, she's thinks I'm Huey right on sight" Riley thought, smirking in his mind, he kept his face in a perfect scowled and looked back at his book ignoring her.
"You know, Huey, if you cooperate with me and be a little nicer things wouldn't have to be this way" cristal said stroking his cheek. Riley recoiled and gave her an extreme look of disgust. "The only thing I want to cooperate with is the fact that you're leaving this house and my grandfather and this family alone" Riley said perfectly in Huey's cold tone.
"Aw Huey we talked about this" cristal said giggling. Moving closer to him Riley stayed planted still he didn't want to be away in view of the camera they needed the evidence. "Well, we can talk about it again so take the conversation into consideration or leave" Riley said stiffly scowling at her. "Or what"? Cristal amused.
"There are ways to get you out this house" Riley started, but was cut off because cristal had now kissed him on the lips. As though a million alarms went off in his head, he jumped from the couch as though the cushion burned him. "WHAT THE HELL" his brain screamed at him. He stared at the giggling woman with disgust and anger. This was the same woman that slept with is grandfather and even kissed the man and did god's what's else with the man. "Oh god, " he thought as he felt his stomach churn with a nausea. He quickly composed himself, he couldn't afford to blow his cover. "Your disgusting" Riley yelled angrily at her wiping his lips as she laughed hysterically.
'What the hell did she do Huey thought curiously. As he heard Riley yelling. as he wandered around the room. he had on Riley clothes just in case he had to go downstairs and had his hair pulled back into a ponytail sometimes Riley wore his hair like that when he didn't have it braided and cristal had seen his hair like this so she wouldn't put two and two together he was also wearing one of Riley snapbacks. He hoped Riley didn't blow this he thought.
"Don't act like that Huey what you never been kissed by a girl before" cristal said standing up very amused. Looking at Riley edging closer to him. "No you pedophile"Riley retorted angrily cristal laughed "hey now pedophile is a harsh term I'm far from it and besides you'll be In high school next year, most boys your age do stuff like this your to handsome to be acting like this" cristal said moving closer.
"Damn shame granddad bought a hoe in his house to not only take his money, but rape his grandkids too" Riley thought edging away from her trying to stay in clear view of the camera. "Yeah, and most those boys first time are with people their age if I stand corrected" Riley said. "I'm only couple of years older just think of me as your big sister" cristal said smirking. Grabbing his arm.
"Damn this ho got a strong grip" Riley thought as he tried now to loosen himself from her grasp which he failed to which she pushed him on the floor. "Oh shit" his mind screamed he was starting to panicked this was Huey's gay ass pose to be getting rape not him and though he was eager to lose his virginity, he didn't it want it to be with a ho or an old ho to be matter fact as he watched nervously as she now dropped on top of him.
''HELP" he started yelling cristal clamped her hand on his mouth "shush just let this flow" . Riley closed is eyes this is it nigga this ho gonna take my virginity and imma have aids and wear grandads's purple speedos for the rest of my life", he thought. As cristal leaned down to kiss him and her Victoria's perfume hit his nose.
"Aye the fuck going on here" huey said coming into the living room looking angry, shocked, disgusted and alarmed "oh thank god" Riley muttered, opening his eyes he had never been too happy to see his brother. "Nothing, just playing with Huey" cristal said, smirking looking at Huey. "Get cho your ass off him ho" Huey said angrily sounding like Riley nigga did pretty good playing him Riley thought. "Don't act like that riley your time will come sooner when your older"cristal sneered.
"Bitch I wouldn't let you touch me to save my life" Huey said, pushing cristal off Riley as soon as the woman fell back Riley scrambled away quickly and stood next to Huey. "Okay, this shit is getting old I might just have Robert send you little brats to private school" cristal said irritated staring at them. Huey scoffed "ho that ain't never gonna happen our granddad love us he ain't never gonna send us away" he said. Riley snorted "let not get stupid here Huey" granddad had been yelling for years he was ready for them to get out his house so there was no point I painting fake dreams. "we'll see how long that last I find I can be very convincing" cristal said smirking at them. But she stopped and looked at them for a moment and got silent. "What your ass having an epiphany and thinking about leaving" Riley said sarcastically as both him and Huey wonder what the woman had going on,
"There is something different about you two, " cristal said, tapping her chin, looking at the boys sharply. "Nah just two niggas and one ho shit look about the same here" huey said, trying to persuade her away from whatever she was thinking. "No there is something different" cristal said moving, closer to them. "The only thing different around here is the fact I haven't called the police and report you" Riley said scowling. "You're not Huey" cristal said, pointing at him stunned and angry.
" Don't be ridiculous " Riley said, rolling his eyes side glancing Huey nervously. "Bitch do you know you sound" Huey said, cutting in as well. "No I know exactly how I sound" cristal started, but was cut off by granddad walking in carry a grocery bag. "Riley go out there and get those bags out the car"granddad said looking at Riley who groaned. While cristal smiled triumphantly at them while Huey facepalmed himself. "I knew there was something different about those two " cristal said smiling "what that's baby" their grandfather said coming up to her looking at them.
"Well the boys were playing a trick on me granddad" cristal said, frowning with a pout on her face."oh were they you have to watch these two they both sneaky they use to pull that little act when they were little all the time" granddad said chuckling wistfully at the memory. "Well, how can you tell Robert cause I had such the hardest time" cristal said smiling looking at them.
Both boys stared angrily at her. "Oh, that's easy if you look on the left side of Riley's neck you'll see he has a birthmark shaped like a small gun that's why his little ass a little hoodlum now and Huey doesn't, he has one on his knee, his is shaped like some damn plant makes sense, since all his ass eat is vegetables" their granddad said frowning "really I'll have to keep that in mind" cristal said looking smug. "Unbelievable"Huey said incredulously shaking his head. "Thanks granddad just sell our asses out, it's nice to know their some loyalty in this family" Riley said sarcastically.
"Aw, shut up didn't I tell your ass to go out and get them bags before I sell you like the master use to do the slaves"granddad said, waving the boy off. "And Huey take your brother's clothes off you look foolish boy and you supposed to be the smart one" granddad said shaking his head. Huey rolled his eyes. Riley left grumbling something about changing his last name angrily. While Huey headed up stairs annoyed, but then a sudden thought came in his mind "the camera, " he thought turning back around down the stairs once he checked to see the coast was clear. He then headed to the plant and grabbed the small camera and shoving it into his pocket quickly."what you doing boy?" granddad said behind him.
Huey took a deep breath "nothing granddad just looking at the plant" he said smoothly. Looking around to make sure cristal was nowhere around them. "Hmm, well do as I say and change out of your brother's clothes before you lose brain cells , and when you get done with that take your brother over to sweetie pie's house and spend the night me and cristal need the house to ourselves." granddad said heading back to the kitchen.
"But granddad" Huey protested there was no way in hell he could go over there, especially with the way things were with him and Jazmine. "No, buts boy do as I say" he yelled back. He grumbled angrily and went upstairs, changed clothes and sat on his bed holding the camera.
"I can't believe granddad " Riley said angrily coming in slumping down on the bed folding his arms. Huey stood up and handed him the camera. Oh snap I forgot about this may be, there might be something on here to pin this ho" Riley said excitedly looking at Huey, but his excitement died down quickly by the expression on his brother's face. "Damn nigga what's wrong with you?, " Riley said .
"Granddad wants the house for tonight" Huey said simply, looking out the window with a dark expression. "And?" Riley said, urging him to go on not in the mood to play twenty questions with this nigga. "We have to spend the night at Jazmine"s " Huey said stiffly.
"Damn" Riley said.
