Living The Life

Chapter 32

Money P.O.V

Trap and Bonez stumbled in the club late. "Where the fuck y'all been?" I yelled over the music. "I had some loose ends to tie up!" Trap said. "Trying to get my family back" Bonez said. I knew Bonez loved the hell out of Riley and Riah. "She gone come around, you and Riley all she know!" I said back. He nodded and we weaved through the crowd trying to find Candace. We found her in front of the stage talking and laughing with Diamond and some girl we've never even seen in New York! "Damnnn!" Mario said walking up. We laughed and all agreed.

"Wassup ladies?" I asked hugging Candace and Diamond. I nodded at the mystery girl. "Hey babe, this is Lala. She's new in town" Candace said. "I'm Trigg, that's Bonez, Trap and every bodies favorite Money" Mario said. We all cheesed like we ain't never seen a pretty girl before. "Nice to meet y'all" Lala said shyly. I looked away and grabbed Candace. She smiled, "I missed you daddy" Candace purred in my ear.

Simone P.O.V

Shaneka and I weaved through the club holding hands so we wouldn't be separated. "Look I see Lala!" Shaneka said excitedly. We ran over to her and wrapped our arms around her in a group hug. "I missed y'all!" Lala cried. Lala is our play sister, she lived with Nana with us for a while then her dad came and got her and we only talked to her through Facebook until now. I broke our embrace when I seen Mario and Damon.

We walked over to them and Bonez tapped Damon. His smile dropped and he walked over to us. "What you doing here?" he asked frowning. "I could ask the same! But my baby sister back in town" I said grabbing Lala's waist. Damon looked confused, Candace walked up and smiled. "Hey" she said waving. I smiled back "Hey" I said. Shaneka just waved and gave a fake smile.

Damon avoided me for the rest of the night. I didn't care though, I had my eye on Mario. We hadn't talked since the incident at my job. Damon took and brought the girls home. I scanned the club for Damon and then I walked over to Mario. "Hey" I said. He looked me up and down. "Wassup?" he asked pulling me into a big hug. He looked around and the squeezed my ass. "I missed you!" he said in my ear. We ducked off into the darkest corner of the club. We could see everything, we watched as Lala and some girl named Diamond made their way on stage. I smiled anticipating the show. Lala posed in front of the pole until the music started. "Blow the Whistle" by Too Short blared through the speakers.

I knew Lala could dance but damn! She was putting in work for her first night. Mario stared taking it all in. "You don't remember who that is do you?" I asked smirking. "Am I supposed to?" Mario asked looking confused. "That's Layla" I said laughing. "Get the fuck out of here! baby sis done grew up" he said laughing. "She's 17, she almost a grown woman now" I said.

Mario P.O.V

I was in shock, Layla grew up with us. I couldn't believe she was back. I was happy but then again nervous. Layla and I had a secret that I NEVER wanted to get out. I led Simone to the front and we cashed out. Shit she was family, I had to make sure all mines ate!

Diamond made her way into the spot light after the song ended. I didn't throw much even though she did her thang. I didn't want Simone pissed off.  Money acted as if she wasn't there but she didn't seem bothered at all. I had to get alone with Lala for a minute. But Shaneka and Simone were all in her face telling her how much of a good job she did. "Where you staying Lay?" I asked. "So now you remember me big head?" Layla asked smiling and hugging me.

Layla P.O.V

Mario watched me from the sidelines as I talked to Simone, Diamond, Shaneka, and Candace. I tried to ignore him so I turned back to the girls. "I'm so happy to be back in New York!" I said swaying my hips from side to side. "We happy to have you back boo!" Shaneka said. Diamond and Candace weren't really talking to us so we walked away and started turning up like we used to. "Who I'm staying with?" I asked. "Me, duhhh! But you might have to share a room with Rian but he ain't never home anyway" Simone said. My mind flashed back to my last night at Nana's house.

                        *Flashback*

Simone and Shaneka snuck out leaving me alone in the room. I saw the door cracked and played like I was sleep, fearing Nana caught them. "Lay you sleep?" Rian asked. I sat up and smiled. "No I'm up" I whispered. Rian got in my bed and held me. "Why yo real parents coming to get you?" he asked kissing my neck. "Cause Nana's my foster mom, I can't stay here forever" I said. Rian lifted my night gown up and slid his boxers down. He entered me from behind. I bit the pillow to keep from screaming. I looked over at Serenity sleeping peacefully. "I love you" I quietly moaned. "Then don't leave me" Rian grunted.

                 *Back To Reality*

"Yeah, I know that look" Shaneka said. "You miss Rian" Simone said. "He doesn't miss me, he got a family now" I whined. "Its been 2 years, he'll be happy to see you" Simone assured me. I walked off and went into the bathroom. Mario grabbed my arm and shoved me into a stall. "Where's my son?" he barked. "He's not yours" I growled. "He's Rian's!"
