(Book #3: Rich Kids series)
Since the birth of her son in high school, Lauren has been through it all in her rollercoaster of a marriage to MLB star Christian Santos. Now, finally having enough of his ways after ten years she's forced to stand on he...
"Question?" Nas randomly blurted as we played UFC 2016 on the playstation.
"Answer...what's up kid?"
He surprisingly paused the game just I was about to drop kick him for the KO, so this had to be something serious to him. I looked over at him with a concerned expression.
"So, mom's going on a date tonight? Right..."
"Yep, that is correct," I told him. "You don't want your mom to go on a date and be happy?"
Nas shrugged and smacked his teeth. "I mean, maybe if I knew the guy. Gotta investigate him."
I laughed at his protective nature over Lauren. Personally, I understood him because I don't know this Dr. Chaz guy, so I'm still skeptical until prove otherwise. "Your mom has good judgement with stuff like this, so nothing to be worried about."
He just nodded before looking at me with his brows knotted. Then, a small smile creeped up on his face. "Why don't you date my mom?"
"Nah," I quietly said.
The thought of even messing with Lauren hadn't crossed my mind in years. I got over that crush and this was strictly a good friendship we were forming. I mean, don't get me wrong...she's still gorgeous as ever, she has her shit together, and could quite possibly be the most kind-hearted person I know. All that being said, I cannot and will not cross that line because I'm tired of losing people.
"Why not? All my dad did was make her cry, but you always make her smile and laugh. That means you make her happy. Isn't that like what girls want?"
I chuckled softly at his young minded thoughts about how relationships work. "Yeah, and you make your mom smile too. Besides, she's too good of a woman for me and she deserves sooo much more."
"No such thing..."
I looked at Nas to be sure that he was still just a 10 year old because sometimes he's like wiser beyond his years with the stuff he says. "How old are you again?"
"10, but Mom says I'm like a young OG."
"Yeah, she's right about that. Now, un- pause this game so I can finish giving you this ass whooping."
Just as he pressed the start button for us to go at it again, Lauren came out of the back room skipping. "Pause the game. Pause it!" I did as she said and we both looked over at her.
"Okay, now what?" Nas asked before I could.
Lauren spun around to show off her outfit for tonight. Nas and I just wanted to finish playing the game, but she wasn't going to let that happen. "Lil' boy, don't get smart," she scolded him.
"But I thought you said that no child of yours will be a dummy..." Nas came back with a rebuttal.
Laurie narrowed her eyes at him and he bowed out gracefully. "Anyway, how do I look y'all?"
