Page 9 of Can't Stop the Love of A Boss

“If you bring your ass downstairs, put that on. Don’t make me fuck you up before I fuck you,” he told her before walking out of the room.

Murder opened the door to see Pain standing there looking crazy. He hadn’t talked to him since he had to choke his ass out yesterday at the shop. Remembering that Law Baby was upstairs, he laughed to himself. Murder knew she wasn’t gonna stay upstairs long, and when she came down, Pain was gonna have some shit to say.

Murder wasn’t scared of Pain, or any other man for that matter, but he didn’t want Law Baby to see the other side of him. So, he fought against the urge to rub the fact that he had what they both wanted upstairs in his face. He stepped outside instead of asking Pain to come in.

Pain immediately caught on to the move. Shaking his head, he couldn’t hold his tongue on it any longer.

“You got her in there already?” he asked.

“Yeah, but it ain’t on the of shit you thinking. I’m just helping her out. She got herself in a situation last night, no more no less. What’s the reason for the visit?” Murder asked.

“I just came to clear the air. We been boys too long for us to let a piece of ass get between us like that,” Pain said, trying to make Murder go off, so Lawrynn could come out and see him for the monster he really was.

“Well, you at the wrong house then. We both know my future wife ain’t a piece of ass. You must be talking about that hoe you got at your house. You good on that. I don’t want her. She’s got more miles than a ’57 Chevy going on its third engine,” Murder said with a chuckle.

“I just find it funny that all this time you’ve never said anything. Even when I was just kicking it with her, you never said shit about wanting her. What type of shit is that?”

“I’m not gonna keep having this same conversation with your ass. I wasn’t gonna step on your shit when y’all were together. I don’t move like that. I kept telling you that she was a good girl, a wifey type of chick, but you ignored the shit. I told you that a real nigga was gonna snatch her up over and over again, but you chose to keep doing dumb shit. You fucked up. All of that went down six months ago. You’ve got a baby on the way and a hoe at the crib waiting on you, so why are you so pressed about it?” Murder asked then he paused for a minute. He looked at Pain and chuckled.

“Get over that bullshit. I will kill you if you try anything with her,” he told Pain and made sure to bump his shoulder as he went back in the house.

Murder went straight for his room where he found Lawrynn in his bed sleeping. The urge to go off on her subsided. He just watched her sleep. She didn’t come down to see who his company was or just to be seen. Everything she did was impressed him, and she wasn’t even trying.

Murder took off his clothes and slid in the bed with Law Baby. His Law Baby.

Chapter 6

Pain left Murder’s house pissed that he had Lawrynn there in the first place. He didn’t care if she was mixed up in something, and Murder had helped her. She wasn’t supposed to be around his ass like that anyway. Pain felt like Murder should’ve known that Lawrynn was off limits to anyone close to him. There wasn’t anyone closer to him than Murder. He couldn’t understand how the fuck he missed the fact that Murder was straight wanting his girl.

He walked in the house to see Nikki laid out on the couch with some chick eating her pussy. It wasn’t unusual for him to walk in on something like this. Nikki had been horny all the damn time since she’d been pregnant. He didn’t mind the chick coming to get the edge off for Nikki; that meant it was less shit he had to do. After watching them for a few minutes, Pain went in the bedroom and made sure to slam the door.

He lay across his bed looking at the ceiling, trying to understand why the fuck his life was in shambles. Hearing the room door open, he rolled his eyes because he knew Nikki was about to start talking, and talking was the last thing he wanted to do.

“Why didn’t you join us?” Nikki asked.

“I’ve got other shit on my mind right now. Go back out there and do what y’all do. I gotta figure some shit out,” he told her and hoped she would catch the hint and leave.

“You know I’ll do whatever I can to help. She’s gone anyway. We both got the vibe that you were mad about something, so she left,” Nikki told him.

“Just leave, man. Go look at TV or something,” he told her.

“What the hell is wrong with you? We have a kid on the way! We need to learn how to communicate with each other!” she

told him

“I’m communicating that you need to get the fuck out of the room. You’re the one acting like I’m speaking another language or something. Just get the fuck on, man, damn,” Pain yelled.

Nikki finally left the room like he asked. Now it was up to Pain to find a way to get Lawrynn away from Murder and back with him for good.

~~~

Lawrynn was still at Murder’s house as night fell once again. They were looking at TV and just relaxing with each other.

“I want to thank you for coming to get me last night. If I threw up on myself, I know I was done,” she told him.

“No need to thank me. I’m always gonna be here for you. I would like to know why you got that fucked up, though. There has to be a reason for it. Nobody sets out to get that damn drunk just hanging out,” he said.

“Was I that bad?”
