In Love With A Church Boy

Chapter 8

Raheem's POV

I walked down the road to the general store with Lila. We were going to get groceries cos the fridge was empty.

"Sup, mama. You fine as hell." I heard a nigga say to Lila, checking her out. "Damn that ass"

"What the hell did you just say?" I asked as I turned.

"Raheem, let's go." Lila said.

"What's your deal man?" He asked as I went closer.

"Ask me that one more time and I'll show you what my deal is." I said clenching my fist.

"Raheem, let's go. This isn't called for." Lila shouted, dragging my hand.

"I say, she fine as hell and what the he--" He was cut off by my fist hitting his jaw, spilling blood everywhere.

"That's for messing with me." I said as held his jaw.

"You sick head." He said as he punched my tummy.

In split seconds, we were throwing punches and kicks with Lila screaming for help and telling me to stop.

"Raheem! Please, stop." Lila shouted as I pushed the nigga back.

People were now gathered and trying to pry the asshole away from me but he was still struggling to attack me. I rolled my eyes as I just stood and watched him.

"C'mon, Josh." Someone I guess was his friend said dragging him away.

"I'ma come back for you, I promise." He said as he left.

"Raheem, what the hell is your problem?" Lila asked angrily. "He didn't touch me."

"But he looked at you and said stuff." I said spitting the blood out of my mouth. "Damn, I'm gonna have a black eye."

"That's just perfect." Lila said as she walked out.

"Yo, wait up." I said running, more like limping to catch up with her. "Lila, I'm sorry. I'm just overprotective, you should know by now."

"And you've gotta stop. It ain't cool. I ain't no kid." She said as I laughed.

"You're cute when you're mad." I said chuckling as she glared at me.

"Not funny." She said as I raised my hand.

"Sorry, babe." I said as I put my hand around her neck, dragging her close and kissing her cheek.

=========================

We picked out our groceries and tossed then into the cart.

"Fruit loops and rice crisps?" Lila asked raising both cereals up.

"Fruit loops." I said as she threw the cereal into the cart.

I kept looking through the shelves until I heard Lila talking to someone. I turned to see it was Carl.

"Lila, get over here." I said as they both turned to look at me.

"Hey baby." Carl said biting his lips as I rolled my eyes.

"The fuck you want, Carl?" I asked frowning.

"C'mon, Raheem. I said I was sorry." Carl said coming close to me.

"Sorry?" I asked as I chuckled. "You're sorry? The hell am I supposed to do with that?"

"Don't be l--"

"Don't be like this? Whatchu expecting me to do?" I asked glaring at him. "I see my man with some twink this minute when I'm thinking he's in another state and cos he said sorry I'm supposed to kiss his fucking ass?"
