Scared To Love You Again

Leila

I couldn't even utter a word. I was stuck and surprised. "How did..? When? Who told you?"

"Why don't I show you." Show me? Damian dug through his pocket and pulls out his phone. Awe shit. It feels like I'm in high school and got pulled into the principal's office again. A real sexy principal though. Hopefully he'll use his belt to-

I hear a video playing that interrupts my intense thoughts.

Flashback
A week ago...

"You think it's safe for you to be hanging out in a bar with all this noise, Lei?" Romeo asked with much concern.

"Yeah, I don't think it's safe either." Trey chimes in.

"I know I shouldn't but I can't stay cooped up in the penthouse knowing Damian is still laid up in the hospital. I feel lonely there without him." I drunkenly whined.

Nia adds. "Babe, I get it but it's safer for you there. You know people like to act up in places like this. I can stay with you if you want?"

"We all can. Like a sleepover. Just like the old days." Trey agreed.

That would be nice but it wouldn't feel right to me. I just wanna lay up in my man's arms and- I know that's not who I think it is. My eyes trail to the devious, delusional ass bitch who thought she could try to play my man and drug him. She really got the balls to show her face in public after everything she put us and Apollo through.

"Leila?" Nia asked trying to get my attention. "What are you looking at?"

"Oh shit." I hear Romeo say. "Lei, she ain't worth it."

"The fuck she's not!" Nia chanted. "She needs to handle that!"

She ain't said nothing but a word. I immediately rose from the table, but Trey tries to grab for me resulting in me quickly snatching away. Nia rushes to my side while I tied my hair up. I always keep a hair tie on my wrist just in case I need to stay ready. Like come on. I'm from Camden.

Nia walked with me side by side as I approached Naomi and one of her little sidekicks. Her friend taps her shoulder to get her attention letting her know I'm coming. Don't worry I won't sneak her. I should though. Nah, that just gives pussy behavior.

Naomi rose to her feet and her friend stood next to her. Tryna stand tall like she ready to do some shit. Girl bye. Once I got Naomi's full blown attention, I wasted no time to get active. "So you like drugging people, bitch!!" She tries to go for my hair but I quickly duck it and dragged a right hook to her jaw. I didn't have to worry about the friend that came with her cause Nia had my back.

"Bitch!" Naomi screamed and tries to run towards me and actually get a grab at my hair, but quickly slips so now I'm on top of her. There's people crowding us conflicting Naomi to get up. Easier access for me to beat the fuck outta her. I straddled her and began punching her nose, her lips, and her eye until I heard something crack.

Next thing I know, I'm being hauled up by Trey. "Leila, it's done!"

"No! Fuck her! Let me go!" I yelled but he doesn't. I kicked the air tryna swing myself out of his grip

"Rome! You got Nia?"

"Dumb ass bitch. Ya mama should've swallowed you, hoe!" Nia screamed while she's being carried away in Romeo's arms. Her hair is pulled out of her ponytail. The friend has marks all over her face looking like Edward Scissorhands. Looking at my best friend and just like me there's not a scratch on her pretty face.
