Hello friends and fans of Timothy's Retreat. It's been a while. Way back on Tuesday the 19th August I wrote a message here that I was going to give you the scoop on my best friend and brother Adrian. I got his permission to write the blog. I actually finished writing it early in September. But due to illness and lots of drama going on in my life; I just never have gotten around to posting it here. I'm ashamed to say that it kind of left my mind. That was until earlier today when my brother asked. "Hey Baby Boy you never did tell me what your friends said about your scoop on me" I swear I was thinking OMG!. I had told him that I was gonna post it here as soon as I felt better. That was a long time ago. So I lied and told him that you guys thought he was awesomesauce and loved hearing about our past. LOL
So, here it is. If you want to scroll down to 19 August first to read my notice first about the scoop. Do that now and then come back to read this blog. Thanks in advance.
I've known Adrian since I was a kid. We lived in the same neighborhood. He's older than me; So we never really hung out together. He was usually with an older crowd but we did know of each other. I remember when his dad died and he and his mother moved away soon afterward.
Years later when I moved to Northern Virginia, we ran into each other. Had a few mutual friends, Saw each other at parties, etc. I was in this on again off again open relationship with a guy (that I can't mention how old I was when we first got together) Because it's a little complicated.
Anyway, I ran into Ade one night at a party. We started talking more and hanging out in a friendly way . We got to be so close that if something was bugging me or I needed to talk; I'd call him. Back in those days I had a mega-load of psychological problems and other issues. I wasn't very compliant with my meds and even when I was taking them things would get bad for me. He was just about the only person that would listen to me and be supportive.
One major thing that brought us together was his amazing ability to get my crazy hair under control. He always calls it my crowning glory and would get pissed when I cut it. His momma taught him how to take care of hair. He got a lot of training for that. After he finished professional studies; His mom helped him to open his first place. He has 2 or 3 now. He hired other stylists and barbers. Rarely works in any of them anymore. He has private clients and takes care of my head personally whenever I need it. He bought his momma a big ass house in Maryland. Adrian pretty much does whatever he feels like doing. LOL
He does a lot of giving to the DC, Maryland and Va. communites. Especially the homeless. I don't know how many times I've hung out with him and his crew and helped give out food, Blankets, etc to people in need. I've been scared sometimes when we've been surrounded at underpasses by people waiting for us to hand them sandwiches and whatever else he's bought that day. My brother is a big guy with a big heart and people respect him.
Now before I make him out to be a male version of Mother Teresa; He insisted that I make sure to add that he loves a party. Loves going to em and throwing em. He's a playa and a Thug loving O.G. ....Ok that's what he asked me to add. . (His momma would be so proud) XD
I got to know his mom because she would come to visit him and I'd come over and have dinner. Momma said that she remembers me when I was a kid. I was that tiny little kid that was always crying while his big sis dragged him all over the neighborhood. The LOUD Little girl who was always yelling at Adrian and other kids in the neighborhood. *puts face in palm* For the love of........![]()
Ok, back to the scoop. Some people have asked me if Adrian and I have ever been lovers. The answer is NO. I'm gonna be honest here because as I said I asked his permission to tell this and he said that it was okay.
One night he and I were hanging out at his house. Shooting the breeze. Having a few drinks. So I asked him why he never made any real passes at me. Once in a while he would make a joke pass but that was it. I'd had a slight crush on him but I'd fallen into a comfy friend mode with him. I also figured that one day he'd grab me and I'd probably let him. So sitting there feeling a little high and horny I opened that dialogue. So he went on about us being friends for so long and he felt it would be wrong of him to hit on me. So while he was going on about reasons. I decided to push the issue a little. I put my drink down and started undressing.
He stopped talking and just stared at me for a long minute. Finally he said " Ok, what the hell" or something like that. He came over to me, and stood less than a few inches away while I finished stripping down to my briefs. Before I could go any further he picked me up into his arms and took me to his bedroom. Put me on his bed while he got undressed and then pulled me close......Then stopped......
So like I said I was horny and kept trying to keep this heat going. That's when I realized that he was trying to make me stop. He sat up and pulled me into his lap. Then he said that he couldn't do this with me. Okaaaaaay![]()
He went on to say that he'd never had a close friendship like ours and that he'd never met anyone like me. He said that he didn't want to do anything to ruin things. And having sex would probably wreck everything. At the time in my head all I heard was (he doesn't want me because I'm a drunk a whore and crazy as a bedbug) I was really hurt at first; but we talked almost half the night. I fell asleep in his arms.
The next day he was up before I woke up. We both had a slight hangover but he made me breakfast. Pancakes & applesauce. Plus a huge glass of water. I'll never forget that. We became best friends then.
As fate would have it; My on again, Off again Ex boyfriend ,Lewis came back into my life. And for a time Adrian and I slowly drifted out of touch.....But not for too long. After Lewis and I broke up I went though some bad times.The break up was horrible. Then out of the blue; Adrian showed up. He had no idea I had gotten so ill. He had run into a mutual friend who told him that I was a wreck and pretty much alone and needed help. Once Adrian found out He went into full on Big Brother mode. Called his momma for advice and she told him to "Bring that baby to me" That's what she told him to do. So I got taken to his momma and after a while I became part of that wonderful extended family.
Good times and bad times.. lovers who come and go...Adrian has been there for me. He used to always say that I was like a brother to him. Now he just calls me his brother.
Thanks so much for reading this.
As usual I ask that you not post comments here. I don't come over here that often. Tripod has some issue with my Yahoo. There are times when I get no notification that anyone has posted a comment. Other times the comments go straight to spam bucket and ends up deleted before I can retrieve it. So just let me know if you have any comments by writing to myspace, Yim or email. Thanks again.
