Ivory
I was sitting in Bang Kok Boxing Fitness in Atlanta that was infamous for being house of some of the best and top boxers and MMA fighters
I got a call from a heavy name named Fox who followed my rookie career and wanted to turn my old hobby and passion into a dream
"You can be the next Floyd Mayweather Jr. Your looks and street edge gives you rawness and an audience. You have major star potential . You fight so natural and ruthless its like breathing air for you and you even drawn the attention of Freddie Roach who is a legendary boxing trainer. We were just watching clips and he picked you. We want you to sign a deal and get this legal money Ivory. We know of your pending gun charge. Money talks and bullshit walks. We can get you probation and community service"
Fox laid it out on the table, his team now had all eyes on me.
I was hot as fuck right now in the Streets. I was even trying touch no work right now. Police were waiting for me to catch me slipping again. Even though I didn't fuck with East since Apple revelation and he didn't pull the trigger on Saint, he had Lutinenant Jones get rid of those birds. I wanted to do right especially since In a few months I would be a father soon. I was serious when I pulled Apple defense team off my case. My new lawyer sat beside me. I knew Amira would be proud of me. I can tell my small Lil bid time had her overly worried. I had time hanging over my head and Amira had me wanting more out of life unlike bitches i fucked with in the past
"Well first I have to look things over before there is an agreement. Make sure documentation is fair and injust" My lawyer Jones spoke smoothly.
"Understood" Fox spoke up.
We all shook hands and he invited me to a HBO meeting of talent about Boxers who left the scene . I was apprehensive about showing my face like that and shit. I knew it would be a good look especially for court. Just as I was about to sign my phone ringing made me step away for a moment
"Speak" I spoke Cooly seeing it was AK trap phone.
Years ago AK was my foster brother and we were nothing but reckless and partners in crime in the old lady house we were in. Bricks couldn't really jump off the porch het and his mama ain't play so he had to sneak out with us when he could. AK family out Miami got him out the system but our bond was still solid. He wasn't into selling dope. He was a gun supplier carrying army guns down to a baby .22
Instead it was Amira voice shaky and she was crying
I looked at Amira who just stared blankly at the wall. Just that fast our unborn seed was gone. I felt like the air was knocked out of my chest when I got that call
"Are you going leave me now since I lost the baby?" She turned around with tears pooling in her eyes. I rubbed her hair and kissed her lips. I wanted our baby. Something so special was now taken. It seemed like shit was just all bad for me lately but I wasn't one to mop about shit. She looked so heartbroken and I didn't know what the fuck to do to make shit right
"Fuck no. I would never leave your side. Amira look at me in the eyes while I'm talking to you" I held her by the chin as her tears freely fell
"Ivory I know I was tripping about an abortion at first but now. Now I feel terrible. I wanted our baby. I wanted a mini you. I wanted to share something so special and see what Love had created" she cried
"I wanted that too ma. We can always try for another baby. Man I'll fill you up everyday if that's what you want. We can have a gang of kids and shit. The lil Nolan gang" I tired to make her smile and she did lightly punching me in the chest
"What's up" AK came in bringing in some Taco Bell and dapped me up. I was glad he rocked that nigga Roc to sleep. Roc was a bitch made Nigga. He should have came directly at me but the fact he didn't and at my girl had me feeling guilty as shit
He smiled at Amira and handed her the bag. She opened the food and dug in it. He started chuckling and this whole little scene ain't sit right with me. He made himself comfortable on her opposite side of the bed in the chair
I frowned at him wondering what the fuck was he here for
"This ain't no social call Isaiah. Im here now. Your presence not needed" I told him. I ain't call AK his government name in years but I was silently warning him to not overstep his fucking boundaries. Yeah Amira had me whipped. We used to share bitches but this was the one. My one.
Amira eyes got big and looked at me in disbelief
"Ivory" she tried whispering. AK chuckled at me
"You tripping Nigga. I'm just making sure she good like I did the whole day. If she you, then she my concern too" he said standing up. He got up and dipped and Amira shook her head at me
"He saved my life Ivory"
"And if I was here I would've did the same. I'm sorry I wasn't ma. I always want you looking at me as your protector and trust my lead. Shit all fucked up lately" I decided to not even share the boxing news. I didn't sign nothing yet but right now the loss of our baby was swarming in my heart and I was hurt. Amira kissed me then started crying
