Flashback

"Lu" I coo while safety tucked under a sleeping Lucious.

"Mhm?" He murmurs not opening an eye.

"Baby I can't sleep" I advise him while playing in his curls.

"Why not" he asks like I really have an answer.

"Because I can't , ion know" I say annoyed that he's yet to open his eyes.

"Try"he simply suggests.

"Lucious" I call and he finally opens his eyes. "I can't sleep because I'm scared" I confide making him raise a brow.

"Cookie Lyon is scared,well damn " he jokes.

"Holloway" I correct making him laugh harder.

"Baby what in the world has you scared?" He asks becoming serious.

"Life" I tell him only confusing him more. "Im scared of something happening to me and you not being around. I'm scared of carol getting into something she's not supposed to. I'm scared of not making it out. I'm just scared of something bad happening" I ramble.

"Somethin make you start feeling that way?" Lu counters.

"Ever since we started dating and moved in together people are always coming for us. I used to have haters before we started dating but now it just seems like everyone's out to get us. Like no one wants us to win. I just wanna make sure I'm straight all the time. So will you teach me how to shoot?" I explain.

"First off your always protected wether I'm with you or not. Secondly no other human should ever put fear in your heart. Now if you want me to teach you to shoot I will but you'll never have to use your gun as long as I'm breathing"he tells me.

"Baby I know you can protect me but sometimes I wanna protect you. I wanna fight along side you. We in this together. Cookie and Lucious not just Lucious and his gurl" I demand making him smirk.

"If you say so queen...I always knew there was something different about you" he adds staring at me.

"Different how?" I ask curious.

"You wannabe with me not for my drug money or looks or status but for me. Most girls have motive especially in this hood. You wannabe my partner not lay up and let me take care of you even though I want to, and I admire that. You're just a different breed cooks, and I'm a lucky man" he rambles.

"You are a lucky man and don't you ever forget that" I joke climbing on top of him.

"Aw gurl I'm tired don't start sum" he grumbles placing a hand on my ass.

"Be quiet Lucious jr. ain't tired I see" I laugh while kissing on his neck.

"Well fuck it then" he gives in flipping us over.

Present

I quickly load my pistol then stick it in the back of my pants. Pulling out my second gun I see thirsty watching me.

"Careful Mrs. Lyon don't hurt yourself" he jokes making dre laugh.

"Shut up" I snap. I'm not here for games. Anything can pop off when we run up in that house. We didn't involve the police in this because they love to play by the rules and today a feel like breaking a few. I called up a few of Lucious' guys we've been rockin with since philly.
