"Okay I lied." J.Cole voice 😆 ya don't beat me up

Lauren stepped out her shower onto the fluffy bag rug which collected all the water that dripped off her squeaky clean body.

After pulling down the cotton candy blue towel from her shower rod she covered her delicate parts and proceeded to her bedroom to continue preparing for bed.

Lauren covered herself in baby lotion, which had a scent that she fell in love with after having Addie. She deeply exhaled after slipping into her small black shorts and matching black spaghetti strapped top. She could finally genuinely relax. No Wayne, no Addie, even though she loved her bundle of joy Addie could be a hand full at times.

"Bang Bang Bang"

However as soon as she thought she could relax her mind frame was thrown off balance by a loud banging at the door. Lauren immediately melted where she stood for what seemed like eternity as she just listened to the banging hoping that it would stop but it never did.

Finally regaining her composure she felt it was time to face the music. Feeling like God ignored her prayers, her begging , her pleading as she strolled down the short hall, a few tears left her eyes. All she wanted was for Wayne to just leave her alone.

After Unlatching the lock the door flew open before Lauren could get out of the way nearly knocking her off her balance. "Where da' fuck he at?" Ajayy grimaced.

Lauren clutched her stomach in pain from the force of the door, shocked to see him. "What are you doing here Ajayy?" Lauren panicked, she feared that Wayne coming home now and seeing Ajayy here would result in a outcome far worse than what he could do to her.

"What the fuck do you mean what am I doing here ? Where det' nigga det' got your fucking body looking like?" He snaked up her top revealing a plethora of bruises.

Lauren backed away quickly in embarrassment. She was ashamed that Ajayy found about the abuse that she somehow felt she deserved.

"I'm only going to ask once and you have a few seconds to answer me before I go looking myself, you don't want me to go looking myself because I won't spare any one. " Ajayy voice boomed with power.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Lauren cleared her throat before speaking. She tried her hardest to make Ajayy believe that she had no clue as to what he was pertaining to.

"I'm not fucking stupid, I know his bitch ass been beating on you. Where the fuck he at?" He brushed past Lauren and immediately begin searching the house.

Lauren shut and locked her front door before following behind Ajayy they had given the neighbors enough of a show.

"He's not here." Lauren trued to inform Ajayy but he didn't believe her.

"Well where the hell he at then?" He slammed closed a closet door that he had just searched. He realized Wayne was no where in sight and it made his blood boil.

"I–I I don't know Ajayy he hasn't been here for a few days, honestly." Lauren exhaled. "Thats why I came looking for him the other day." Lauren regret the words she had just spoke as soon as they left her mouth.

"You came to the fucking hood looking for him?" Ajayy punched the wall just above Lauren's head frightening her.

Ajayy backed away with his hands up when he noticed that he had scared her and began to pace in circles to collect his thoughts.
