Chapter 5: Family Ties
Sunday was here and I got up and took a hot shower. I had to get the night off me and brush my teeth like 3 times. Last night was like a movie and I was the starring actor. I can't believe everything went down like it did. I had no intentions to run into Conner last night and I didn't even know he was gay or bi or whatever. I'm also in shock because he has a girlfriend and he sucked my dick at her house. Just so many thoughts are running through my head.
"Alex, your dad is calling you," said Josh.
"Thanks!" I said.
My dad picked me up around 1 pm and we headed back home. When we got in the car he started asking me how the weekend was with Josh and what we ended up doing. I told him the usual and we played video games and watched movies all night. I told dad that Ms. Williams fixed us breakfast every morning and she asked about you and mom. I mentioned that mom is running for District 7 Judge and that dad's practice is doing well.
"Did you know that District 7 is where Josh lives? That's the inner city and if your mom gets elected new Judge, I believe there are going to be some big changes for that neighborhood. They've been talking about gentrification and cleaning it up." Dad said.
"I had no idea dad, but that's got to be a good thing right because there's nothing wrong with cleaning up a poor neighborhood!" I stated.
"Yes you're right son, but the real question is, where will the people go who will have to move out?" Dad mentioned.
Surely I wouldn't think mom would allow Ms. Williams and her family to be subject to poverty? I know that area has a lot of work that needs to be done, but it's a good neighborhood. I can't imagine mom doing my second family like that. I'm going to ask her what will happen if she does become Judge.
"Did you get a chance to meet attorney Peter Smith at the Ritz the other night?" "That's your mother's colleague and he's also helping out as campaign manager. His family are coming over for Sunday dinner tonight." Dad said.
YOU'VE GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME!
I need to find a way to escape this, there's no way I'm going to be entertaining Conner tonight and his family after what just happened at Melissa's party. I haven't even gathered myself from what just happened a few hours ago and now this dude is coming to my house for dinner!
"Alex, welcome home son, how was your weekend with Josh and his family?" asked mom.
"It was great! Ms. Williams asked about you."
"I love that woman, she knows how to throw down in the kitchen. Alex, we need to invite her over soon." mom said.
"Why don't we invite her and the family over tonight?" "I mean mom you are running for the district Josh and her live in and it would be perfect to have them here at the house." I said.
Talk about trying to get out of an awkward situation, because I don't want to be left alone with Conner. I know he's going to try and do something or talk about what happened last night and I'm not ready for that to happen here at the house! I hope and pray that mom says yes and we can get them over for dinner.
"I don't see why not, it's been a while since she's been to the house and it would be good to see Josh and Jarissa." mom said.
"Sure I think that's great honey, we can call the cater and put in an order for more food." Dad said.
"I'll save them the trouble of finding a ride out here and call them an Uber Black." Dad mentioned.
OMG! I could jump in my parents arms right now because it worked! I can't believe I spoke up and made a voice for myself and it worked. I guess this is what it feels like to become a man, well I like it! I see the respect I'm getting around here these days! Let me get on the phone and call Josh!
"YO bro, mom is throwing a really nice dinner get together tonight and she's inviting you and the fam up. Dinner is at 7pm and you gotta come bro, please!" I said.
"That's a bet, let me check with mom." Josh said.
"Mom, Alex's family is inviting us for dinner tonight at 7, can we please go. Jarissa can come too!" Josh said out loud.
"Well I don't know son, you have practice Monday and I gotta wash tonight and you know I don't have a car so your sister will have to take us. That's also an hour out the way and we really don't have the gas money to get there and back." Ms. Williams said in the background.
"Bro, don't even worry my dad is taking care of everything for you all. He's calling an Uber Black SUV to come and pick you all up and drop you back off." I said.
"REALLY??" "Damn." Josh said.
"Watch yo mouth boy." Ms. Williams said.
"Mom, Alex said that Dr. Wright is going to call us an Uber Black SUV and have us picked up tonight and dropped off." Josh said.
"I think we can make that work, that's awfully nice of him to do that." Ms. Williams said.
"Bet, we on the way brother!" "What should we wear?" Josh asked.
"Just come as you are, you don't have to dress up at all." I stated.
"See you soon bro!" Josh replied.
Those were the best words I heard all day because I just secured my best friend and his family to come to the house tonight and I don't have to be alone with Conner.
Doorbell rings
"Hello Peter and family." Mom said.
"Jennifer I can't thank you enough for inviting me and the family over for dinner tonight." "You've met most of my family but I don't think I've met most of yours." Peter said.
"Peter, this is my husband Dr. Alex Wright Sr. and our daughter Jasmine, and my son Alex Jr.
"Very nice to meet you all, Jennifer has told me wonderful things about you all." said Peter.
"This is my wife Susan, my daughter Hayley, my son Conner, and our youngest son, Caleb," said Peter.
Conner was looking at me but when I would look up at him, he would turn his head away and make things awkward. I yelled out...."What's up Conner!" He looked up and said "Alex!" and there was complete silence after that.
"You two know each other?" said Mr. Smith
"Yeah, Conner and I met at mom's event Monday night at the Ritz." I stated.
"Awesome, well I'll let you two boys go "hang out" as they say." Mr. Smith said.
Conner and I went upstairs to my room and I looked down the hallway and closed the door and locked it behind me. I pulled Conner into my closet and said, "What the fuck were you thinking last night?" "You almost got us caught and that would have been a huge embarrassment to me and yourself." "Talk about being disrespectful to Melissa too!"
"Yoo Alex, I'm sorry I don't know what got into me and I was drunk as fuck." Conner said.
"The minute I saw you at your mom's event, I liked you and wanted to get to know you and I think you're hot as fuck." Conner mentioned.
"Well you have an interesting way of showing it and how do you know if I'm gay or bi?" I asked.
"Oh come on bro, the way you were letting me stroke your dick and suck on you." "If you had a problem with it the first time, you would have beat the fuck out of me or told everyone at the party I was a cock sucker." "Besides, you seemed to have really enjoyed it." "I got a taste of that perky little tight ass of yours too and I actually want some more," said Conner.
We walked out of the closet and sat down on my sofa in my room and talked some more. I was curious if Conner had done this before and does his girlfriend know about him messing around with guys.
"Have you experimented with...."
I couldn't even finish my conversation with him because by this time, Josh and his family were pulling up to the house.
"Alex, Josh and his family are here." yelled mom.
"We will definitely finish this conversation!" I said.
"Okay, I'm coming down." I yelled back.
I looked back at Conner and told him that I needed him to chill out while we are here! We can't have both our families suspicious of what's going on and my best friend and his family are here too. Shit! This is nuts! How did I get myself into this or who put me in this because I didn't ask for this to happen to me.
There were so many questions I wanted to ask Conner but the timing was so off and I had to entertain my family and friends.
"Alex, what's up." said Josh "Oh shoot, Conner is here too, what's up bro?"
"Fellas let's go to the basement and play some pool while the food is prepping." I said in a rush.
"Listen, both of you! My parents don't know that I went to Melissa's party last night so I need yall to shut the fuck up about any party affiliation or I'm busted. I've been trying to get my parents to let me use one of the cars this Summer and I need that to happen." "GOT IT?" I said.
"Yes," They both said in unison.
I turned on the big screen tv and put on some music. I pulled the pool sticks out and racked up the table. I told the rest of the guys to come downstairs and let the adults do the talking. It felt like a little party all over again. Me, Josh, Conner, his brother Caleb and sister Hayley, my sister Jasmine and Josh's sister Jarissa. We all were just hanging out and playing pool and talking about school. This was a true family affair and what better way to start off my Summer!
