Unconditional Love (Book #2)

Chapter 4

~*Lu*~

When I pulled up in front of my mama house I thought a nigga like me was trippin'. The only reason I was here at one in the morning was because De'Asia kicked me out the house.

   "Why you talkin' to this grown nigga?" I asked holding Layla up by her bra strap.

   "I can talk to whoever I want to talk too when I get ready." She said shaking herself from my grasp.

She waved goodbye to Kamel then stomped in the house with a bat and a bag. I sat next to Kamel and gave him dap.

   "Why you tryin' to talk to Layla?"

   "Thats her name?"

   "Yeah and she my lil sister."

   "Yeah but it ain't even like that brah. I just want to get to know her and chill with her." He said leaning back on his elbows.

   "Well I approve because I know you a good guy. What you been up to Lyfe?"

   "When you start callin' me Lyfe?"

   "When you took over for me and started puttin' fear in these lil niggas lives. How business been goin'?"

   "I guess it been good. Got a new connect so we doin' kind of good out here. You know the streets been missin' you since you been gone."

   "Yeah I know. My old connect called me tryin' start up shop again but I told 'em naw. The restaurant, repair shop and clothing store doing just fine." I said looking at the moon in the night sky.

   "I heard that bitch Kimberly back on the streets. They talkin' real reckless 'bout her."

I sat back some against the porch step. Every time something went down with Kimberly people instantly thought I was the one to stick up for her. That captain save a hoe shit was over when she fucked me over.

   "What they been sayin'?"

I wanted to know but I didn't want to know.

   "She dabblin' in a little bit of 'erthang. She sellin' pussy and product. She strippin' and robbin'. She basically into a lot of shit to get her some money. Then they turn around and say she a video vixen fuckin' rappers. I don't know what to believe but the biggest rumor of them all is that she on a mission to win you back." He said looking at me.

I sighed and looked away. If De heard this then I would be a dead man. Its all ready bad enough I called Kimberly name during sex. I was answering De question but I was also seeing Kimberly in my head. Both came together and I yelled out her name.

   "Well she ain't my problem no mo. I got a wife and kids to think about." I said standing up.

Lyfe was just about to walk down the porch steps when Layla flew out the house, handed him a piece of paper then flew back into the house. I looked at her and just shook my head. I threw the duces up to Lyfe then made my way into the house.

I grabbed a blanket out the hall closet and laid on the couch after saying good night to Mama and Layla. I laid there in the dark just thinking about what was to come.

Could I keep Kimberly and De apart? Would De let me explain in the morning? What I was thinking about the most was how hard I came. Now that shit right there is what really put me out the house. I just hope De let me explain and come back home.

I was sleeping so peacefully until I felt three bodies jump on me. I heard the giggles and the high pitched screams as the girls jumped all over me.
