(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...
"Girl, you look tired. My baby boy wore you out, didn't he?" I questioned as Sky came in the living room with a look of exhaustion written all over her face.
Sky gave me the side eye before she plopped down on the couch beside me. "I be forgetting Nas not a baby no more so I don't know why my dumb ass decided it was ok to still be picking him up when I catch him."
I shook with my head with an amused look on my face. "You and me both. I leave the playing to him and Bam because Nas ain't my speed no more. Gotta settle for playing him in Mortal Kombat or something."
Sky nodded. "That's really what's about to start happening cause my back feel somebody kicked that hoe in."
I chuckled at her. "You need me to pop your back for you? It might hurt a little bit, but when it wears off it feels heavenly."
"No thank you nurse. So what's been up with you?" Sky asked me while repositioning herself for comfort on the couch. I furrowed my brows in confusion.
"Huh? What you mean?"
Sky smacked her teeth. "I've been coming over to drop Nas off after school this week for you and every time I see you it's like you're in your own head about something," she said with skepticism, adding, "so just gone ahead and spit it out boo."
She was right as she always was. I sighed and picked up my phone show her what I had been thinking heavily about for the past days. I had to take a picture of it because I couldn't believe it myself.

"Biihhhhhhh! Ain't this some shit," Sky said with a big ass grin on her face. "Your ass already on your second proposal and I can't even find a nigga that don't break out in hives when I mention commitment."
"Shut up," I said while shaking my head, trying not to laugh. "You so damn silly."
Sky shrugged me off. "Ok, but you don't seem too excited about it. Y'all folks in love, so what's the issue?" she coo'ed.
"We are. I haven't been this happy in a long ass time, but I can't help overthinking though..."
I hated how my negativity was taking over my thought process especially because Bam is an amazing man. "Overthink what? Talk to me cause you ain't saying too much of nothing right now," Sky asked with a concerned expression.
"I've been through this before and I just don't want a repeat. Believe it or not, marriage changes everything whether it's for the better or worse...changes happen. You see how my marriage ended," I admitted to her.
Skylar sucked her teeth. "Believe it or not, Brandon Micah Wallace is nothing like that scum of a ex-husband you had."
"I know that. I'm just scared of going that far right now and it not working. This time I wouldn't only be losing my man. We're best friends first and I just don't want this to ruin what we have going on."
