Law Baby,

I left my key to your spot on the counter. I’m out and we done.

Pain

“This motherfucker here,” she said to no one but herself while shaking her head.

Lawrynn balled up the paper and threw it in the trash, and then she sat on the couch and turned the TV on. Not wasting another moment, she got up to get her phone, so she could have her locks changed. Yeah, he left his key, but niggas out here be with the shits these days. He could have another key somewhere in the cut. She wasn’t taking any chances with him or any other nigga for that matter.

Lawrynn was done trying to do the relationship thing. From here on out, it was all about her, and her alone.

Chapter 3

“I told you his ass was a hoe. He was just a hoe who covered his tracks. I say we go over to Auntie’s house and give our hoe ass cousin some good old fashion love taps,” Nell told Lawrynn.

Lawrynn had just come from her doctor’s appointment. She was somewhat surprised to find Pain and her cousin Nikki at the doctor’s office as well. The hurtful part was that they were together at the doctor. Lawrynn wasted no time calling Nell for her to get ready because she was on her way to pick her up. That way, she could fill her in on the bullshit of the day. It had been months since Pain left that punk ass note for her, but she was still pissed at the sight of them today.

“Fuck him and her. How the hell could he do that? She’s my fucking cousin,” Lawrynn fussed.

“Our cousin is a hoe. I wouldn’t be surprised if it comes out that she tried to fuck one of your brothers. The bitch is sick in the fucking head. How long have they been fucking? That’s my damn question,” Nell said.

Lawrynn wondered the same thing. How the hell could he do some shit like this? Her own fucking cousin though, her blood cousin. Nikki was the biggest hoe on the east coast, but it still hurt that Pain had taken the bait. Lawrynn wiped her tears, deciding that she had cried long enough over a man who couldn’t have been hers. They were together for almost two years, but she still felt like she had given his ass too many tears.

“Let’s go catch a movie or something. Everything will be alright, cousin. It’s his fucking loss. I hope he don’t think that she’s gonna be half the woman you were to him. If she’s not lying on her back, that hoe out of her fucking element,” Nell told her cousin.

Seeing her cousin in all this pain behind Pain’s punk ass leaving her was only pissing her off. Yes, she was mad about it being their cousin Nikki that he left her for, but it took two to tango. Nikki would fuck anything, anywhere, and at any time. It was Pain who owed Lawrynn loyalty. So, the way Nell saw it, Pain was more at fault than Nikki’s hoe ass.

“I don’t feel like going to the movies. We could go to the mall, though. That way I can find something to buy to help me feel better,” Lawrynn said.

“Cousin, you’re so much better than me. I would be right at that nigga’s door ready to go to war with him and that hoe ass cousin of ours. The more I hurt, the more I get to punch you in the face and the nuts,” Nell told Lawrynn, causing them both to laugh.

It was good to see Lawrynn laugh. She had been crying for the past two days.

“Let me go change and get myself together. I know my eyes are all puffy and shit by now,” Lawrynn said.

“Just hurry the hell up. Those tears might help you get up under a big Rock built type of nigga tonight,” Nell said, making Lawrynn stop in her tracks to look at her funny. “Don’t look at me like that. You know the best way to get over an old boyfriend is to get up under some strange-ass, big dick nigga with no expectations,” Nell said.

“That sounds like you’re telling me to go out here and be a hoe,” Lawrynn responded.

“Is that what you heard?” Nell asked sarcastically before falling out laughing.

 

; “I’m done with niggas for a while,” Lawrynn said.

“Umm, does that mean you ’bout to be a lesbian, nun, or a chocolate trophy for a white man somewhere?” Nell asked her.

“I’ll be right back, crazy,” Lawrynn while laughing.

“You need to feel better after all the money you’ve spent in here today,” Nell told Lawrynn.

Lawrynn simply gave her cousin the finger.

“Yo, Lawrynn, you here by yourself?” the ladies heard a male voice ask.

They both turned to see Murder standing behind them with a female on his arm.
