Chapter 21: Kai’s best friend

Omniscient Narrative

The unknown man-Robert- let out a laugh as he wrapped his hands around Kai's waist. Hugging him tightly.

"Hi Kai"

"I've not seen you in forever" Robert said as he pulled away from the smaller man, who by the look of it, didn't want to let go.

"Right???? It's been so longggggg Robert" the blond man replied staring at the other man with a smile on his face, his eyes close to watering as he stared at his best friend.

"Hey now smalls, don't go crying on me now" Robert scolded as he playfully wiggled his fingers in front of the smaller man, who just sniffed in response.

"Come in" Kai said as he pulled Robert into the large house.

Robert walked into the house, eyeing it and then began walking further into the house.

"What have you been up to Kai, the last time we spoke was like two weeks ago" the dark skin man-Robert- asked, the smile from earlier not leaving his face.

"I've been busy Robby, with the house, Vinnie, work, and now Austin has moved out" Kai listed but then had let out a sad sigh as he said the last sentence.

"Really?" Robert had a brow raised. "Little Austin has moved out?" He asked shocked at the news.

"My baby, I haven't seen him in months" Robert kissed his teeth in a devastating manner.

Robert is Kai's best friend, the two had grown up together ever since they met in sophomore year of high school.

They had been together ever since like black and white, rice and beans etc.

But over the past months, Robert had to been going through somethings, so the dark skin man took a month off to 'cleanse' off bad energy.

Hence why he and Kai had to drift apart for a while.

"And what about Vinnie?" The dark skin man asked with a brow raised.

Robert had never liked Vinnie, he was always against the couple being together, said he didn't fully trust the man and he looked to 'suspicious' but Kai being as naive as a child, he told Robert he was crazy and went about with the relationship.

"Nothing" the blond answered, shrugging as he looked away avoiding eye contact with his best friend.

"Kaiiiii" Robert warned as he gave Kai a look, one that said 'you better talk'.

"Seriously Robby it's nothing, Vinnie has been busy with work and I've just been helping Aries with his apartment and that's it" Kai honestly answered, acting like it was an every day occurrence.

"Aries?" Robert asked confused

"Who the fuck is Aries?" Robert yelled out as he looked at his best friend with a confused expression

"Nigga, you moving around with a zodiac sign?" Robert asked as he raised his brows at his best friend, wondering why he was just hearing about this 'Aries'

"He's no one" Kai scoffed.

"Excuse me?" Aries practically yelled at the screen as he watched the smaller man wave his hand in a 'dismissive' manner. "No one?" The younger man was in disbelief.

"Just Austin's friend" he shrugged.

"Austin's friend?" Robert asked in a shocked tone. "Kai!!, your old ass has been spending time with a child?" Robert asked as he widened his eyes at Kai, making the smaller man of the two bow his head in a shy gesture.

"Child???? Im 21" Aries yelled at the screen, clearly pissed off at the words that left the new man's lips.

"Robby, he's not a child, he's grown, he's 21 or 22, I don't know" Kai corrected, his cheeks heating up as he thought about the handsome young man who spoke and acted like he was older than what he had led him to believe.

At one point, Kai began questioning if the other man was actually in his twenties, yes he looked his age but he acted way too matured.

"He's half your damn age, Nigga" Robert rolled his head in a sassy manner, his face still in disbelief at what he was hearing.

"And don't your black old ass think it's wrong?" Robert asked his best friend.

"How" Kai spat out a little defensive, who was Robert to judge his life.

The man sitting in front of him was deadass a sugardaddy, he mostly slept with and dates younger men. So who was he to judge.

"I mean I'm no one to judge but he's 21 you're 40 Kai" Robert said like he was talking to a child

"I know that" Kai scoffed, he knew that, he had fought himself about it, but hanging out with Aries just felt right.

"We are just two people who likes hanging out with each other okay?" Kai said as he rolled his eyes at his best friend.

"Hey now, I'm not judging, I was just not expecting such from YOU" Robert said as he put his hands up in a defensive manner, a playful smirk on his face

"Anywayssss" Kai dragged out as he got up. "You hungry?" He asked his best friend in an annoyed tone.

"Please baby, I'm starving" Robert groaned out as he got up as well.

"Come on then, let's feed your big back" the blond led the way to the kitchen.

"Big back?" Robert asked as his eyes trailed down to Kai's ass "honey, I'm staring at the big back here" Robert said as he smacked the smaller man's ass

"Ouchhh" Kai cried out as he rubbed his aching ass.
