After a hit and miss at the club she works at, Normani immediately becomes intrigued by the woman who saves her. After several accidental meetings and pestering, she finds out her hero is a well known drug dealer. As crazy as it seems, this doesn't...
I'm casually lying on my bed while playing Saints Row, just as I annihilate an alien I get a text on my phone from Lauren.
12th Avenue 🌃🍃🔪: Open the door
I raise a brow in confusion and go to the door, I open it and scrunch my face at how stressed and vulnerable she looks.
"Hey" She mumbles
I lock the door back and look her over, spotting the scrape on her arm. I grab onto her wrist and pull her into the bathroom.
"What happened?" I ask
"I'm fine" She sighs
"Still think I'm an airhead?" I smirk
She lets out a tiny smile and winces when I apply the peroxide to her arm.
"C'mon, what's wrong?" I ask
"I feel like crap" She says
I gesture for her to elaborate and she shrugs.
"The other three and I got shot at" She says nonchalantly
I make a face and lean back.

"Why you so nonchalant about the shit? You could've got seriously hurt" I say
She starts laughing and I pinch her near the scrape.
"Ouch! Why?!" She yells
"It's not funny, does it look like I'm laughing?" I ask
"We get shot at often, it's just that I was with my daughter so I feel pretty messed up" She says lowly towards the end
"A MINI LAUREN OMG LEMME SEEEEEEE!" I yell
"Girl hush!" She chuckles
"Lemme see her Laurennn" I drag out
She takes my hand and pulls me onto her lap, she shows me a picture of them two and I snatch the phone.
"Oh my gosh she's so cute! How old is she? What's her name?" I smile
"Her name's Aaliyah and she's four" She smiles
"Such a pretty name, is she okay?" I ask, rubbing her neck
"Physically but mentally and emotionally I know she's not, she probably thinks I'm dead or scared of me, who knows?" She shrugs
"And she's never seen anything I've done, I try to keep her away from all of that. If anything, she's seen one of the guns in my room from being too nosy. It hurts a lot, I think this is the most pain I've ever been in." She says
She rolls her eyes as two tears fall and I reach up to wipe them. I lean in and give her a long kiss.
