If Only You Knew

Shower

Lester's POV

"Oh shit, gang nem is fly a lil bit! Oh shit!" Zay spoke through his fist that was covering his mouth as he recorded me.

"Niggas know how I'm coming!" I boasted with a grin as I playfully dusted off my outfit.

He flipped my camera and quickly panned over his Celine hoodie and Amiri jeans. "Where baby moms at?" His eyes panned around the huge venue for Lee.

"She in the back getting ready." I clarified.

"Ahh." He nodded. "You tryna spark up?"

I nodded and followed him out to his car. With it being the beginning of December it was cold as fuck so we couldn't smoke outside like I would've rather do. We hopped in and Zay cut the car on blasting the heat before grabbing a fat wood from his cup holder and sparking it.

"Congratulations, gang." He handed me the wood letting me hit it first.

"Thanks." I spoke through my coughs.

"For real though, niggas did a whole 180 on me." He laughed. "You ain't sippin' that shit no more and you back koo with Leelee. I'm happy for you, my god sons gone be here next month. How you feeling?"

I took a couple more hits and passed it back before replying. "I'm feeling good as hell. I'm clean as a whistle beside the weed but that don't count. Me and Lee was having some lil problems but I think she's getting over it. We both excited to meet my sons, bruh."

"You see the lil balencis I got for em?" He questioned with a proud smile on his face.

"I did, gang, thanks. Them muthafuckers hard."

"Ain't they? I ain't even know they sold infant sizes."

We laughed before I got a call from my mama saying to come inside now. I got scared thinking Lee was in trouble or something as I hopped out the truck and ran back inside. Entering the beautiful hall my mama rented out, I ran back past the red, black, and white decorations and the overflowing gift table back towards the dressing room.

I busted in the door to see her standing in front of a mirror looking beautiful. Aniyah, D, my mama, Halee, and Ariah were all crowding around her and that's when I noticed she was crying. I sighed pushing past the girls to get to Lee. Gently placing my arm around her shoulder I came up behind her and looked down at her damp face.

"What's wrong, mama?"

She shook her head and I knew it had to be something stupid. I let Lee know I wasn't really for the tears, they was getting old. We had a small back-and-forth the other day about her always crying over bullshit, which only made her cry. I get that it was the hormones but Lee was a crybaby even before she got pregnant so that's not a valid excuse.

"No, tell him." Aniyah stood looking annoyed.

Lee sighed before more tears came. "I hate this dress!" She cried looking down at her beautiful bump.

"What?" I sighed.

"It makes my shape look so nasty, and my makeup makes me look like a granny!"

Her head was down and now covered by her hair that Aniyah had straightened for her. Her shoulders shook slightly as she quietly wept. I shook my head as I signaled for everybody to leave. They obliged and once we were alone I took my hand and grabbed Lee's chin so she was looking up at me.
