Page 24 of Can't Stop the Love of A Boss

They talked until they went to sleep. Murder couldn’t believe that he loved being constantly caked up with Lawrynn. This feeling made all the bullshit with them getting together worth it.

Chapter 16

“Can you tell me why you would even ask his ass to help you?” Pain asked Nikki.

They had been going back and forth for the last hour. He was slowly getting pissed at her to the point that he was going to have to leave if she kept this shit up.

“I really thought something was wrong with the car. I had been sitting there for almost an hour before he got there. Do you think I would just sit there like that if I could’ve just gone home?” she pleaded with him.

“You say you sat there for almost an hour?” he asked, knowing that she was lying her ass off, but, he couldn’t understand why she felt the need to lie to him. “So, you’re telling me that nobody came in or out of the store until Murder came up? The fucking store was open. You could’ve asked the damn cashier for help. As for you trying to call me, I was at my pop’s house. I had my phone on me, yet I don’t have one damn missed call from your lying ass. I don’t know what your fucking problem is or what you’re up to this time. Leave Law Baby and Murder alone. I would hate to have to fuck your pregnant ass up. LEAVE THEM THE FUCK ALONE, NIKKI,” he said, standing in her face.

She rolled her eyes.

“You didn’t even ask me about the car. All you’re worried about is your precious Law Baby. The same bitch that chose your best friend over you. You were the one who told me to try to push upon Murder, now all of a sudden, it’s leave them alone. I can’t believe you’re gonna let that shit slide. It couldn’t be me,” she said.

“It couldn’t be you what? Huh, what would you do? I know what I said before, and I was just talking out the side of my neck then. Ain’t no need for either of us to be at them. If they wanna be happy together, let them do that. I’m the one who fucked up with her. Keep in mind that Law Baby and I were already broken up because of me fucking with you. YOU’RE HER FUCKING COUSIN. What the fuck you talking about? I swear you have to be mental. There’s something truly wrong with your ass. If I’m supposed to fight him, I might as well take your dumb ass with me so Lawrynn can fuck you up at the same time then, huh?”

Pain could feel it in his gut that Nikki was on some bullshit.

“You know what I mean,” she said.

“Nah, I fucking don’t know what you mean. You know when I first met Lawrynn’s brothers, they told me to watch out for you. After we started messing around, I thought that maybe we would be able to settle down. Now, I can see that nobody was hating on you. They were all telling the damn truth. You’re only attracted to men who are already married or in a relationship. If they’re with your cousins, then you do all you can to get with the guy. You’re pregnant with my kid and trying to get on Murder’s dick. I’m gonna tell you just like this. When you have the kid, I’m getting a blood test. Stay out of my way, and I’ll stay out of yours. You can keep trying Murder if you want to, but that nigga has no problem killing your ass. Choose wisely. All I can add is being that my kid is in you, I would prefer that you don’t try him until after you have the baby. You being pregnant is not gonna stop him from killing your dumb ass,” Pain told her and then he left the house.

Nikki stood in place just watching the door that Pain just went out of. She didn’t understand what the big deal was. She always got to sample her cousin’s boyfriends. She had been going behind Lawrynn and Nell’s back for years sleeping and with their men. She had to make them hurt some kind of way. They couldn’t just sit around and live happily ever after if she had to live with what happened to her that summer. She knew they had suspected that something happened, but to this day, she’s never told anyone what really happened.

She never liked to see her cousins all happy and lucky enough to have men who wanted them and not just their sex. She had learned that sex was what all men wanted. If you could give a man the right type of sex, then he would do any and everything for you. It didn’t matter if he had a girl, wife, kids, or anything else.

Nikki had gotten all types of shit from men over the years. She had one now that she didn’t even mess with anymore, but he was still paying her rent, and whenever her car broke down, he fixed it. All of that because he never wanted his wife or family to find out about the three year long affair they had.

Nikki felt that everybody was putting Murder on a pedestal like she couldn’t put him under her spell like the others. Yes, she had Pain, who was the father of her child, but she had always wanted Murder even before he got with Lawrynn. It was just that now he was a lust filled infatuation of hers. She HAD to have him. He could go along with it or not. She just had to come up with a plan.

Murder was chilling with the fellas at his carwash today. He needed a change of scenery from the barbershop. It was a sunny ass ninety-three degrees, so he knew the fellas would be rolling through to get their cars and motorcycles washed. It wasn’t even noon yet, and it was already crowded.

“Aye, there go ya boy, Pain. Do I need to start taking bets on who’s gonna win?” Murder’s home boy, Allen, asked him.

“If he come over here acting stupid, then you just might, nigga. It’s too fucking hot for the bullshit,” Murder said as they watched Pain walk over with determination in his steps.

“Murder, I gotta talk to you about some shit,” Murder said nothing as he looked at him. “Fuck it then. You need to watch out for Nikki. I don’t know what she’s up to, but I think she’s trying to get you to fuck around on Lawrynn with her,” Pain said.

Allen started laughing, which made both of them look at him.

“Y’all niggas are crazy as fuck. Of course, Nikki’s hoe ass is trying to get at him. He’s with Lawrynn now. That means she’s gonna do all she can to get him to fuck her,” Allen said.

“How the fuck do you know?” Pain asked.

Murder was quiet because they weren’t talking about Lawrynn directly, so he would just listen for now.

“That’s what she does. Just like that nigga Kirk on Love and Hip Hop, he likes to fuck other broads while he’s married. Nikki likes to fuck her cousin’s men. I don’t know what the hell they did to her when they were younger, but she always makes sure she pushes up on their men. Pain, your dumb ass need to be sure the bitch don’t run out and get a damn abortion now that you and Lawrynn ain’t together no more. I’m telling you, the bitch is crazy as fuck. I know firsthand because I used to fuck with Nell a few years back. Soon as Nikki found out, she started popping up everywhere I was. Making sure she was wearing the smallest shit she could without getting arrested for being naked in public. I told Nell about it because it was creepy as fuck. She told me that Nikki had tried to fuck her and Lawrynn’s men before. Nell stopped fucking with me a few weeks after that

out of nowhere. She just kept saying she didn’t want me to turn out like the others. So, she broke up with me because her hoe ass cousin was trying to get at me,” Allen said, shaking his head.

“You know how I am about people trying to hurt Law Baby,” Murder said, looking at Pain.

“I told her ass that if she kept trying you that you were gonna kill her. She’s on her own. As long as she’s alive, I’ll try to be there for her and shit like that but do what you gotta do. I know you’re not gonna hurt Law Baby like I did. It’s gonna take some time for me to come around and chill with y’all, though. I understand I’m in this situation because of me. We’re good,” Pain said to Murder.

They dapped each other up and half hugged.
