Page 121 of I Heard It All Before

Lawrence and his pregnant girlfriend were sitting in the waiting room and Demi didn’t need any drama. Lawrence saw when they walked in and he had no intentions on saying anything to them. He didn’t have a problem with Cam, even though his best friend did. Asha was the only one on his list and she was never coming off until she got dealt with. When she sent her brothers to rob Kamari, they robbed Lawrence as well. He lost money too, since some of the drugs that they stole belonged to him. He didn’t care that Kamari was in jail; he was still out for blood. The house that Kamari saw them come out of was Asha’s brother’s house, but he no longer lived there. Lawrence talked to his wife and she assured him that he nor Asha was allowed there ever again. Lawrence didn’t know what happened, but he could only imagine. Asha was a snake and nothing that she did surprised him.

“I didn’t know that Demi had a baby,” Lawrence’s girlfriend, Dina, whispered.

“Yeah, I told you that she was pregnant,” he replied.

“Is that her new boyfriend?” Dina whispered.

“Yeah, I’ll tell you about it later,” Lawrence said, not wanting to talk while they were so close by.

He and his girl waited, as Demi and Cam went to the section that was meant for the newborn babies. They stayed in the back for a while before they walked back out, preparing to leave. Demi looked nervous when Lawrence stood up and came towards them. She relaxed a little when he opened his mouth to speak.

“Congrats on the baby,” Lawrence said as he extended his hand to Cam to shake.

“Thanks, same to you,” Cam replied as he shook his hand.

Demi nodded her head and smiled at her ex-husband’s best friend, right before they walked out of the office.

“That was so sweet of you,” Dina said when Lawrence came back to his seat. She was on her phone scrolling on Instagram when something got his attention.

“Wait, go back up to that picture. Where do you know her from?” Lawrence asked as he looked at a familiar face.

“I don’t know her. I don’t know half the people who I’m friends with,” Dina replied, as Lawrence continued to study her phone.

He was deep in thought as he read the page and all the information that accompanied it. He was so busy thinking that he didn’t even hear when Dina’s name was called. She tapped his arm to pull him out of his daze. Lawrence got up to follow her to the back as the wheels in his head continued to turn. He had planned to pay Kamari a visit and he needed to run a few things by him too. Lawrence hated that his boy was caged liked an animal, but he had no problem holding it down until he was released.
