Chapter 21

“Do you remember the pact we made when we were young?” James asked as he looked up from the pizza they had ordered. James, Elliott, Calvin, and JC were all sitting in the lower level of JC’s home, the same place they’d sat in when they were children.

Hesitating before answering, JC glanced up from his phone. “Friends forever, it’s been our motto most of our lives.”

“It’s the anchor to each of us,” Calvin advised. “You two vowed to protect us for life.”

Elliott laughed as he picked up a slice of pizza from the food tray on the table. “We have paid the price on that promise multiple times over.”

“What? We’ve been perfect angels over the years.” JC chuckled.

“Really?” James frowned. “Shall we start with the two of you setting the pool house on fire?”

“Oh no, that was Joshua,” Calvin clarified.

“What about letting the younger kids put their clothes in the fountain in the yard.” Elliott added as he sat on the sofa facing JC and Calvin.

“No, that was on all of us,” James laughed as he sat on the chair at the top of the semi-circle. “We were playing Madden when we should have been watching the younger kids.”

“It was the twins…your brother and sister who thought it was a good idea to use the wagon to carry the clothes to put in said fountain,” JC crossed his legs at the ankles, placing them on the table between them.

“That was hilarious,” James nodded. “I thought your uncle Al was going to kill Uncle JD because he wouldn’t stop laughing.”

The boys all cracked up remembering the childhood incident. “It was funny,” Elliott stated then looked up at James. “On another note, did you get the results back yet?”

“I did,” James beamed. “Passed it the first time out.”

“Congratulations, man,” they all gave him a fist bump.

“You just passed the bar,” Calvin said as he took a drink of tequila. “What are you going to do now?”

“Marry ZsaZsa,” Elliott and JC replied in unison, then laughed.

“Hell yes, I’m going to marry ZsaZsa,” James chimed in.

“If she will have you,” Elliott teased.

“You and I know she will,” JC shook his head. “We knew the minute they met at the club, he was a goner.”

“I can’t blame you,” Calvin boasted. “ZsaZsa is a looker, with those exotic eyes.”

“No, it’s the regal way she carries herself,” JC stated. “It is impossible not to see she is royalty through and through.”

“Yes, she is,” James nodded. “However, that proposal is going to wait until after she goes home. There are some things she wants to do there, that will take some time.”

“Don’t wait too long,” Elliott suggested. “One of those princes over there may try to steal her from under you.”

“Then we will be going to Emure to steal her back,” James declared unapologetically, then continued. “I’m not concerned about that. Besides, I have a few things I want to do here. That’s why I wanted us to get together today. I have something I want to run by you.
