Monique turned back towards Deacon still pointing the gun.
MONIQUE
You know you are part of this problem. I don’t see why you shouldn’t feel any pain like the rest of us.
Deacon’s eyes grew wider as Monique lowered the gun and shot him in the leg twice. He grabbed his leg as he went to the floor. She looked over at Ellis and smiled. She pointed the gun towards him.
MONIQUE
You killed my husband. Why shouldn’t I kill you?
ELLIS
Monique think about what you are doing.
MONIQUE
I am thinking. Where exactly should I shoot you because when you shot yourself apparently it didn’t take?
Monique waved the gun around all areas of Ellis body until she got to his groin. Jacob snuck up behind her and grabbed the gun.
Monique realized that Jacob had taken the gun. It was an instant that she blinked. Monique shook her head and looked around the room. Again she fainted.

As Eric walked out of Monique’s apartment he knew that he had lost Jeremy forever. He knew that he would have to start his life over.
ERIC (talking to himself)
I don’t need him. I will be fine by myself. I don’t need anyone. My family can even go to hell.
He turned and screamed “Joder todo el mundo!” He started to run but ran into two men with another one behind them.
TONY
Where are you going in a rush young buck?
ERIC
Who the hell are you?
TONY
You ran into me man. Why are you yelling “fucking everyone”?
ERIC
Dude, look all three of you goons can go fuck yourselves. Get out of my way.
Eric tried to push passed them. The two men in front of Tony each grabbed an arm and drugged him into the hall closet where the trash deposit was. Eric tried to fight but the men too were powerful in strength.
TONY
My $30,000. I want it back.
ERIC
What are you talking about?
TONY
Oh, you need help remembering.
Tony nodded his head at one of the men. He punched Eric in the stomach hard. Eric bowed over but could not go for because the other man was holding him from the back.
TONY
Romello…not so hard. I just want him to remember.
ERIC (barely able to speak)
Fuck you!
TONY
We are going to if you don’t tell me where my money is.
ERIC
I spent it.
TONY
How in the hell are you going to spend $30,000 in one day? Jatanio your turn.
Jatanio and Romello switched places. He took the back of his hand and slammed it across Eric’s face.
TONY
Look I will make a deal with you. Take us to the hotel that you are staying in, give me my money back so that my wife won’t know that it is gone and we will let you live.
JATANIO
Man, we can’t get no ass in the process? This lil nigga got a phat ass.
TONY
Oh you want some ass Jatanio.
JATANIO
Hell yeah!
TONY
What about you Mello? What you want from this lil buster?
ROMELLO
I’ll take some head.
TONY
OK we will make this a package deal.
ERIC
Ya’ll ain’t getting nothing from me.
Jatanio gave Eric another backhand across the face. Eric taste the blood that was in his mouth. He tried to be brave but he knew that he would not be able to fight off both of these goons. He consented that he would take them to his hotel to give them the money.
They took Eric outside and threw him in the backseat of the SUV. Romello sat in the back with him while Tony and Jatanio were in the front.
After ten minutes of the ride Eric felt he had enough strength and courage to escape. He reached over and punched Romello in his nuts and tried to open the door. The child safety lock was on.
Romello was about to start punching Eric but Tony directed him not too.
ROMELLO (holding himself)
We are going to make your ass bleed something serious. You just wait.
____________________________
Romello pulled Eric’s pants down and pushed him on the bed. Tony grabbed the remote control off the table and turned on the TV and pressed mute.
TONY
Now tell me where is my money?
Eric responded by spitting in his face.
JATANIO
He bold.
TONY
We are going to see how bold he is. You guys do your damage.
Jatanio started sucking on his adam’s apple and then around the right side of his neck and up to his ear. He sucked his ear and earlobe. Romello looked at him funny.
ROMELLO
Man what are you doing? We didn’t come to make love to this nigga.
Eric asked them to stop. He decided that he would tell where the money was. Romello and Jatanio stood with their pants at their knees. Eric slowly pulled up his pants so that he could walk. Tony made sure that he kept his eyes on him because he didn’t want him to try to escape again.
As soon as Eric buttoned his pants he raced towards the door. Tony was tired of the funny business with Eric. He pulled his gun and placed it in Eric’s mouth. Eric’s eyes watered from fear. He closed his eyes tightly waiting on life to end.
Jatanio pulled Tony back.
JATANIO
Man wait. First you don’t have your money. Secondly I need to get that ass.
TONY
Make it quick.
Romello started laughing. He reached around Eric and unbutton his pants and pulled them down. He guided his manhood in. This was killing Eric. He poked it in and pulled it out and then again. Finally, he was in and made it past the second muscle on the inside. As he broke through Romello could tell Eric was in pain. This only made him want to punish him even more. Jatanio walked around and placed his manhood in Eric’s mouth forcing him to suck. Eric was not complying. Jatanio punched him in the face. Eric collapsed on the bed. He could not take it anymore. He sobbed like a baby. But the tears only increased Jatanio and Romello pleasure.
Tony sat in the chair and stroked himself.
Jatanio and Romello switched positions. Eric screamed when Jatanio forced himself inside Eric. It was hurting like nothing he had felt before. Jatanio eased up and wrapped his arms around Eric’s back and told him to wrap his arms around his neck.
JATANIO
Now this feels hella good.
He couldn’t help but bite Eric on his back all over. He squeezed his body tighter and tighter as it got more and more intense. Jatanio was in so deep his mouth was wide open as his eyes remained closed. This was a new level. Jatanio took his wife-beater t-shirt and put it behind his neck. He screamed out “Oohhhh weeeeee son!” as he climaxed. Jatanio pulled his manhood out and walked to the bathroom.
Romello got behind Eric and pulled him to his knees. He pushed himself into Eric’s now open anus. Romello was banging his anus so hard you could hear the smacking noise of their bodies. They were ringing wet with sweat. Romello instructed him to push his ass out while he pressed it. This sent Romello into overdrive. Romello took Eric’s legs and put them over his shoulders so that he was in his cut. He started hitting the bottom of Eric’s lower intestine. Romello was fucking him wild but controlled, aggressive but not abusive, strong but not passive.
Tony was enjoying this scene so much. He looked up at them and his nutt shot to his forehead. Jatanio returned and watched Romello’s manhood slide in and out of Eric like stars floating in and out of time. Romello came down to his face and stuck his tongue in Eric’s mouth as he creamed. Romello slowly pulling out of him and his hot manhood lay on Eric’s thigh. They laid there with no emotions, the aroma of sex, and the energy and danger of satisfact
ion.
Tony wiped himself off with a shirt from the floor as he walked over to Eric.
TONY
OK. That is two of the three things that we wanted. Now where is the money?
ERIC (out of breathe, disgusted, and humiliated)
Un….un..under the bed.
Tony got on the floor and reached under the bed. He felt a case and began to pull on it. Once he got it out he opened it. There in the case was $12,753.
TONY
Where is the rest of it? This is not $30,000.
ERIC
I don’t have it.
TONY
WHERE IS IT?
ERIC
I spent it.
This only angered Tony. He took the gun and placed it inside Eric’s ass and pulled the trigger.
THIRTEEN MONTHS LATER
LI
On a crisp spring morning, Jacob woke up with Dennis arm flung across his chest. He could hear the birds chirping outside his window. He gently took Dennis’ arm off of him and rose out of bed. He walked into the bathroom to brush his teeth and prepare for the day.
Dennis heard the water come on and walked into the bathroom also. He grabbed Jacob from behind and kissed him on his neck.
DENNIS
Good morning.
JACOB
Good morning. How did you sleep?
DENNIS
Great with you next to me.
JACOB
You know that you kicked me last night.
DENNIS
Just making sure that you were there. If my leg had went all the way across the bed there would have been a problem.
JACOB
Yeah right. What’s on your agenda today?
DENNIS
Nothing really. Go to the office and complete some papers. What about you?
JACOB
Teach my two classes for today and that will be it.
DENNIS
How do you like teaching college now?
JACOB
I love it. I don’t have to be there all day and my students are mature. It is just like doing the conferences.
They both went to their His and His sinks. Dennis looked under the vanity for his facial creams to do his morning rituals.
JACOB
Such a metro sexual.
DENNIS
Have to keep the skin right.
JACOB
You should have good genes like moí.
DENNIS
I do. Anyway get out of here.
Jacob walked into the bedroom and grabbed his suit that he laid out the night before. He wasn’t sure about wearing a tie so he threw it to the side.
Dennis came from the bathroom wiping his face.
DENNIS
What do you have planned for tonight?
JACOB
Nothing, sup?
DENNIS
Doooooo you want to go out to eat?
JACOB
Sure. I don’t feel like cooking anyway.
DENNIS
OK. I want to get there by 7:30 P.M.
JACOB
This is so unlike you to be setting a definite time.
DENNIS
Just be ready.
LII
Ian walked into the kitchen to start breakfast. He saw Jeremy asleep on the couch. He tried not to wake him. Jeremy was upset still that Ian had an affair with Deacon. He hasn’t slept in the bed with him since they came back from Washington D.C.
Ian opened the refrigerator and looked for something to cook. He decided on eggs, turkey bacon, and grits with a large glass of apple juice.
The aroma of the food cooking woke Jeremy. He rose from the couch and stretched. He walked into the kitchen and gave a dry greeting to Ian. Ian continued to fix his breakfast.
JEREMY
You didn’t fix me anything.
IAN
Did you sleep in the bed with me?
JEREMY
No.
IAN
There is your answer. (Sitting his plate on the table) Look I have been thinking about something for the last few months. I am tired of living like this. If you are not going to let the past be in the past then I think that we should divorce.
JEREMY
What you did was disrespectful. You think that I am going to sleep with you.
IAN
Don’t you forget that you slept with Eric. You are the one that fell for his foolery. With all the shit that he did that is why….
JEREMY
Why what? He got what he deserved. Is that what you wanted to say. No one deserves to die the way he did.
IAN
Look I hate that he was murdered. I truly do. I don’t wish death on anyone but Eric played games with too many people.
JEREMY
What makes you think that he was playing with anyone?
IAN
His intestines where blown out. Why would someone strip him and then shoot him in the ass?
JEREMY
You are so pitiful.
IAN
You are the one that’s pitiful. I don’t think that you are mad with me because I slept with Deacon. I think that you are upset that Eric is gone. If you miss him that much and don’t want me. . .pack your stuff and get out. I don’t want to and will not live in misery.
JEREMY
That is what you have been waiting to say for the longest.
IAN
No actually I thought that you would make the decision to leave on your own.
JEREMY
I will be out by the end of the month.
Jeremy slammed the cabinets and walked into the bathroom slamming another door. Ian continued to finish his breakfast.
In the bathroom Jeremy placed both hands on the vanity. He dropped his head. He looked in the mirror and shook his head. He opened the door to the bathroom and exited. He walked over to Ian.
JEREMY
I will not live like this. I don’t want to move out and you don’t want me to leave. We have been through too much.
IAN
I am listening.
JEREMY
I want you. I love you. I am in love with you.
IAN
Jeremy I want my marriage to work. I don’t want to end it. True, I don’t want you to move out. I don’t want us to conform but to compromise. I don’t appreciate how you have treated me for the last thirteen months. I will not tolerate it anymore. If we see that we can’t get alone or feel that we want someone else be man enough to tell each other. I want loyalty and honesty, forsaking all others, be open and can share things and ideas.
JEREMY
Why do you want to be with me? What do you see in me?
IAN
I can ask you the same things.
JEREMY (grabbing him by hands)
I want my husband back. I am sorry for making you feel insecure and being secretive. I do and have always loved you.
Ian and Jeremy looked into each other eyes looking for truth.
LIII
Dennis and Jacob pulled up to the Japanese restaurant – Nagoya. This was one of their favorite place’s to eat. After being seated Dennis ordered a bottle of Cabernet sauvignon.
Jacob was curious as to why Dennis was making tonight really special. Dennis excused himself from the table. The waitress came to the table and Jacob told her that he was waiting on his guest to return. She said that she would come back to take their orders.
After ten minutes Dennis returned with a bouquet of white roses which were Jacob’s favorite. His face lit up like a child at Christmas.
JACOB
What is this?
DENNIS
I want to treat you to something special.
JACOB
Why?
DENNIS
See no one can be nice to you.
JACOB
I didn’t say that. I am surprised that’s all.
The waitress returned to take their orders. After reviewing the menu they placed their orders.
&nbs
p; JACOB
If I forget to tell you later I am really enjoying tonight.
DENNIS
You act as though we don’t go out for dinner.
JACOB
We go out but I don’t get roses, white roses – which are my favorite, when we go out.
DENNIS
I know. I figured I would do something special for your birthday.
JACOB (laughing)
You know that it is not my birthday.
DENNIS
Over the past year we have been through a lot. I asked you something that I think need to be retouched.
JACOB
What?
DENNIS
It’s not important. It’s irrelevant now.
JACOB
You bought it up.
After fifteen minutes of conversations the servitor bought their food. Dennis had the Shrimp, Scallop & Lobster Hibachi Dinner that included soup, salad, fried rice and vegetables. Jacob had the Filet Mignon that included the same sides.
Dennis noticed that Jacob’s glass was low. He poured him a refresher. As he was pouring Dennis looked at Jacob and gave him a smile and a wink.
After eating Dennis reached into his pocket and left it there.
DENNIS
Since the day we first met, I knew it was love, God answered my prayers, you came down from above...You gave me your heart, and I taught you to trust me, for the first time ever, it was more than just lust. Your sweet loving words, are not to be compared, I am forever your partner, my soul I have bared...Every day I wake up, with a smile a mile long, I know that we are solid, I know that we are strong. So never put into question, my feelings being true, because I have found my one and only, And I will always love you.
Dennis stood and walked over to Jacob and got down on one knee. He pulled a box out of his pocket.
