Gangsta's Paradise

In Her Place

Nipsey

After Boog went to sleep, I had Hoggy drive me over to Tanisha's. I needed a witness. My main goal is to put an end to the bullshit. Me and her haven't been together in a relationship for years. And now that I got a girl, our sexual escapades are over as well. Therefore, all this shit she got going on, writing Lauren and all this other shit, needs to stop.
She was out on her porch, smoking a cigarette. I hated that shit when we were together. Kissing someone who smokes cigarettes is horrible. No matter what type of lip gloss or chapstick she had on, the shit overpowered it. Meanwhile, with Lauren, her kisses always tasted like sweet fruit. Let me focus. I got out the car and walked up to her.

"Well, well. I knew you'd be back."
"Cut the shit! I don't want you and I want you to leave my girl alone."
"Really Ermy?"
"I'm serious Tanisha. Move on. You got a dude. Leave us alone."
"I do whatever the fuck I please."
"Then you'll be doing it for no reason. After this, I won't pay you anymore attention. I've got my daughter so there's no reason for us to contact each other. We can go through my parents for anything related to Emani."
"So she means that much to you huh?! To make you shit on me!"
"I'm not shitting on you. But I'm choosing my family! I asked you nicely but you keep doing slick shit. We're over, done."
"You fucking asshole!"
"Tanisha! You good!"
"No, I'm not! He out here trying to fucking play me!"
"Aye cuz, on hood. This between me and her. I came here to tell her to cool it with the shit she doing."
"Fuck nigga, don't step to my woman! She do whatever the fuck she wanna do cuz!"
"Oh right! You cool with your girl fucking other niggas..."
"So what you saying nigga? You fucked her?"
"Ask her cuz! I'm through with the bitch though. She all yours cuz!"
"Pussy ass nigga!"

Next thing I know, the nigga charged at me! I slapped his ass and swung and punched him right in his fucking face. Hoggy hopped out the car, ready. I held my hand out, stopping him, as I watched the nigga on the ground.

"Aye cuz! Charging at me, you better know how to fight bitch!"
"Fuck you nigga!"
"Man come on Hussle. This pussy ass nigga ain't even worth it."

We went and got in the car. I didn't even pay Tanisha another glance. She better take heed to my warning. Hoggy dropped me back off home and I went and took a shower. I had a cut on my knuckle from when I punched that nigga so I cleaned it up. After dressing, I got in the bed beside Lauren, holding her. I let my hand slide over her stomach and I smiled. Even though it's still flat and she isn't showing yet, the thought of my child growing inside of her filled me with so many feelings. I didn't think it was possible but my love for her has definitely grown. And my admiration is on a whole other level. My infatuation done grew too. I don't think I'll be able to go a day without her.
I actually got a show here at home tomorrow night before we head to Louisiana. I want her with me, even though she's pregnant. I don't wanna do shit without my Boog. I let my thoughts fade off as I went to sleep.
When I woke up, Lauren was already up and I smelled food in the air. I looked at the clock and it's like 10 ish so I knew the kids were already in school. I got up and walked downstairs.

"Heeeyyy..."
"What's good Boogie?"
"Nothing. You're breakfast is on the table."
"Bet that up baby!"

She'd made some butter pecan pancakes and a bean and veggie hash brown skillet. As I ate, I pulled Lauren in my lap and hugged her.

"Boog, What you doing tonight?"
"Nothing. I was going to your show but with me being pregnant..."
"You can still go. You just can't drink or dance too much."
"Haha. You don't have a problem with me in the club?"
"No! You'll be with me nigga! Besides, you ain't even showing yet."
"Oh, okay. Well then I guess I'm with you."
"Call Samantha and see if she wanna go."
"Okay."

Later that night at the club, we had fun. Lauren was by my side the whole night and I'll be honest, I loved that shit. Being able to party with my girl on some best friend type shit, is everything I've always wanted. She is crunk too. I laughed as her and Mookie bounced around our section to the music. They act like real sisters and always on some bullshit. When I told her Lauren is pregnant, she almost bust my eardrum screaming into the phone. I had the bartender make Lauren some apple juice with sprite and grenadine in it. She loves it. I sat down beside her after I finished performing.

"Boog, come give me a hug baby."
"Uhnt-Uhnn! You all sweaty and shit too!"
"Boog, stop playing!"

I picked her up and rubbed my face all on her. She squealed and laughed!

"You are so fucking annoying!"
"But you still love a nigga though."
"Ugh! Whatever! You stink!"
"Man nigga, so!"
"Haha! Big bro, you know pregnant women and their nose pick up all kinds of scents!"
"Damn! Then you definitely probably don't like being in here!"
"Right! It smells like must, ass and perfume to cover it up!"

We laughed our asses off. A group of my niggas was there and they all are fond of Lauren and my sister. So we sat in the VIP, laughing and having a good time. It feels good to sit with my girl and enjoy my crew.
