Love Isn't Enough (L.I.E)

Ch. 23-Secrets Pt.1

August.

Today was move-in day for my family. They arrived this morning with everything they could bring from Nola. Me, Trav, and Big T did most of the work helping them move furniture an' shit after the delivery people dropped it off, while Kourt helped Mama, Cha, and the girls got they selves situated. Being that she knows this house with her eyes closed, she showed them around and helped unpack a few things.

I had to keep reminding Kourtney to sit her 6 month pregnant ass down somewhere cause she feels the need to keep movin' and not rest. I finally got her to work only 2 days out of the week and taking it easy on herself. We decided against finding out what we having at her 20 week appointment because she wanted the entire family to find out the same time as us. So, Salina and Cha agreed to plan a gender reveal party with just our family and close friends this Saturday. Of course, Mama gon' chef it out.

I leave to go on tour in a week and half. The shit is getting so close, and befa' I know it I'll be gone for 30 days. I just hope it goes smooth and I can pick up where I left off once I come back.

Me, Trav and T was out back by the pool just vibin'. Since these niggas don't smoke, I was smokin' a blunt all by myself.

"We just about done right?" Trav said.

I inhaled the smoke and nodded.

"Alright y'all. I gotta bounce because I have to pick my kids up from school." T stood up giving us dap.

"Good lookin' out today wit' da' fam man, hit me up later."

"Man y'all my family too, so it's all good. Tell Ms. She-She and the rest of the fam bye for me. I'll see ya'll niggas."

T dapped us up one more time and headed around the house to the front so he could leave.

"So, you ready fa' marriage big Bruh?" I asked Travis.

"Why not? I love Sal and I wouldn't see it any other way. She dealt with my ass and stuck it out through all my bullshit. When a nigga was dead broke, she helped me start my mechanic shop business. She deserves to made into a honest woman." He nodded his head confirming his own words. "It's only right Young. It's only right."

"My nigga. I respect dat. I wish y'all the best. She a rida' fa'real and she been down wit ya' fa ever. I'm happy fa' you bruh." I dapped Travis and have him a well respected brotherly hug.

"I appreciate it man. But wassup wit'chu and Kourt? How y'all holding up?"

"I mean, we doing good I guess. Everyday is a challenge. But fa' the most days as of lately, we been doing good. I'm trying ta' communicate wit' her a luh better, cause she think I'm always hiding some shit or not bein' honest."

Travis laughed. "Welcome to being in a committed relationship bra'. Most women are the same when it comes to certain shit. Just don't keep giving her reasons to feel that way."

"You right, you right. But sometimes I feel like bitches be testing me man. I love Kourtney, ain't no doubt in that. But bitches be throwin' themselves at me on tha' regular. And Krystal coo coo ass keep calling me telling me she need ta' talk to me about some important shit. It's just, sometimes I feel like I wasn't even ready fa' this relationship commitment shit."

"You need to get a grip on'nat though bra'. These bitches know who you wit'. The media and paparazzi gets all the credit fa' dat. But you need to know within ya'self ta not react off these bitches. They on the come up, and they want what'cha girl got so they we try to get it by any means necessary. And as fa' that Krystal situation, you need to find out what she want so you never have to deal wit her ass again."
