"When a nigga try to let his past go, he be reminded of all his shit"

"No." Dawn begged me to stay in bed with her. I had a lot to do with my tattoo shop opening later.

"Just let me handle shit and I be back." Dawn held onto my torso with her arms and waist with her legs.

"Stay and love on me!" I stood up and walked to the bathroom still with her attached. Placing her on the sink I looked into her eyes.

"Stop being so clingy."

"I am not!" Dawn voice got lower as she tried to whine. She flipped her hair over her shoulder and rolled her eyes at me.

"That's not how you acting right now. Stop doing all of that extra shit man."

"Oh I'm sorry if-if I want to make my man feel special." Her voice continued to go from normal to low in between words. I shook my head knowing for a fact she was about to be sick.

It's bad enough she clingy now but I just can't deal with double clinging. The shop open today and my birthday Friday. I need to check on the club. I got to get my mom and sister out of hell. Don't get me started on Maria and shit.

"Talk to me. Tell me what's wrong?" She pleaded voice all scratchy. I shook my head and started to brush my teeth.

"All that singing and screaming you did last night got you losing your voice." I smirked.

"Shut up." Was all that she could say.

I laughed. "You need to get some medicine."

"Ugh. You just. Bye." She hopped off of the sink and went back into the room with an attitude.

I got myself ready and walked back into the room to see Dawn laid out in bed on her stomach. I walked over and roughly slapped her ass.

"Don't touch me." She groaned into the mattress.

"I'll remember that."

As I was walking to the living room Dawn ran up and jumped on my back.

"You ready?" I asked Christian who simply nodded. "You know there is a guest room right?" Christian and Moniece shit was everywhere.

"We attempted to get there but didn't make it." Moniece laughed.

"Just nasty." Dawn whispered.

"Uh uhhh you sick?" Moniece questioned Dawn. She shook her head and started to nibble on my neck. I was becoming more agitated by the minute.

"Man get her." I told Moniece as I pulled her off.

"See that's what happen when-uhh I'll tell you later." Christian finished getting his stuff and we headed to the door.

"When what?" Moniece asked but he shook his head to say nothing.

"When you not giving her that act right." He finished his statement as we got to the car.

"How you know what I'm doing wrong?" I asked annoyed.

"On the real you been taking your anger and frustration out on Dawn since you went to see your mom. Everything good?" I gripped the steering wheel bothered.

"Everything fine fam."

"From my view you need help. Dawn is trying to get you to talk to her but you keep acting as if she trippin'."
