“The braised duck.”
“Yes, that was it. I think I’ll get that. Thank you, babe.”
Remy turned his attention to his menu, deciding what he wanted. When the server returned with their drinks, they were ready to order.
“Remy, I detect a slight accent. Where are you from?” Dennis questioned.
“Haiti,” Remy responded.
“And what do you do for a living?”
“I’m the vice president of operations at Cayman Industries.”
Dennis nodded. “And does your family know that you like…”
When Dennis trailed off, Remy raised a brow.Does my family know that I like to throw dick into your son’s stomach?Remy thought but was thankfully able to bite his tongue against saying.
“Yes, they know I’m gay,” he said instead.
“I see. Well, you should visit with Lawrence soon, and we can all go to church together.”
Remy refrained from rolling his eyes while Lawrence cleared his throat and changed the subject. It seemed that he’d been prepared for his father to bring that up, and Remy figured it often happened when Lawrence’s sexuality was the topic.
Nothing Dennis said was going to get to or offend him. Remy was secure in his sexuality, and he didn’t care who didn’t like it or whom it offended. Dennis was included in that group. He wascontent to get through the evening, ignoring whatever slick comments Dennis made, as long as they weren’t to or didn’t upset Lawrence. Then, Remy would have a problem with it.
They were almost through dinner, and Remy had lost count of how often Dennis brought up them going to church with him or different scriptures. He could tell that Lawrence was getting annoyed. So, Remy decided that if Dennis considered their being together a sin, he would give him even more reason to think so.
“After you drop your dad off, come by my place,” Remy stated.
“Okay, do you want me to pick up anything?”
Remy smirked at Lawrence before placing his lips to his ear and whispering in a way that he knew Dennis would still hear him. “We’re almost out of condoms. Grab two boxes because I plan on going through half of one tonight.”
He nipped Lawrence’s earlobe and turned his attention back across the table to Dennis, staring him in the eyes. Remy wondered if he would say something, but he didn’t. It didn’t matter; he wasn’t saying it to get a rise out of Dennis. He had every intention of keeping his word.

Remy walked into the gym at five minutes until ten. It was Saturday, and he was meeting the others to play basketball. When he entered, he saw Paetyn and Cruz. He wasn't surprised that, like him, they were early. They usually were whenever they met up or went somewhere. Remy had always been a firm believer in showing up early anywhere he went.
The three men greeted one another and waited for the other two to arrive. Kieran turned up at ten, and Nik waltzed in twenty minutes later.
“Back to being late, I see,” Paetyn stated.
“In my defense, I had every intention of being on time, but I got…preoccupied,” Nik responded.
“So did I, but I made it on time,” Kieran countered, and Remy could do nothing more than shake his head while Cruz snorted.
“Yeah, yeah. Are we playing each other, or are we finding others to play?” Nik asked.
“I’ve already asked that group over there if they wanted to play a few games when our entire group arrived,” Paetyn informed them, pointing to a few men shooting around.
They went over, and introductions went around. They chose who they wanted to guard, and the game started. It was first to twenty-one. The first game was theirs, the second went to the opposing team, and they played a tiebreaker. Their team won the final match by one.
When they finished the final game, they sat on the bleachers. Remy drank half of his water before bringing the bottle from his lips.
“Just so you know, Alijah has chosen where she wants to go for this trip she’s planning,” Kieran stated, and Remy turned to look at him along with the other men.
“Where are we going?” Cruz asked.
