“If you care about me that hard, why give up on us? Fuck ya hoe ass cousin,” he said.

“Did you hear what I said?” she asked him.

“Did you hear me? I’m telling you straight up that I’m not fucking with anybody right now. I want my girl back. I can prove to you that Nikki don’t have that kind of pussy power to make me fuck us up.”

Nell sat in the passenger seat for the rest of the ride quiet as a church mouse. She did miss the feeling of being in a relationship, but she missed Allen more. There was no doubt in her mind that if she had never broken up with him, there was an eighty percent chance that they would still be together. The other twenty percent was that he would turn out to be just like all the rest. If she wanted to take the chance again, he would be the ideal one to take it with.

“I’ll think about it,” she finally told Allen.

“Okay, cool. You got until we finish eating our food,” he told her. Nell turned to look at him like he was crazy. “I know you didn’t think you were gonna leave my sight until I got an answer. You’ll never walk away from me. Talking about you’re gonna call me, just for me to have to hunt your ass down tomorrow,” he told her.

“I guess I’m gonna have to think hard, then,” she replied.

“I guess so.”

Chapter 20

When Allen and Nell came back in, they were no longer just staring at each other. They were talking and laughing. Murder watched them as he ate his food. As soon as he finished, he had to find out what the hell they had going on.

“What the fuck is up with you two?” Murder asked.

“She’s the one that got away,” Allen answered.

“Oh, word? Why y’all break up or whatever?” he asked.

He cut his eyes at Lawrynn because he wanted to see her reaction to Allen’s answer. Yeah, Allen had told him briefly before what the deal was, but he knew with the girls there that Allen would pour his heart out. Hearing the story again in front of the women would be some entertaining shit. Allen was already squirming, and he hadn’t even answered shit. Murder was here for it today.

“Maurice!” Lawrynn yelled.

“Don’t Maurice me like that. I need to find out if she needs to be added to the ‘cousin to kill list.’ What she do, man, because she’s sitting over there mad at the world like she can beat my ass,” Murder said and laughed.

“She broke up with me because she was scared I was gonna fuck their hoe ass cousin,” he said.

“Damn. I wish you would even fix your mouth to say some shit like that to me. I’m gonna fuck you up then go kill her to show she ain’t a problem. Shit, Allen, if you would’ve just killed the bitch back then, my baby wouldn’t have gone through all the bullshit she’s been through. Damn, but nah, if she was dead, she couldn’t fuck up what Law and Pain had. Good looking out on keeping the hoe alive. She ’bout to be dead, though,” Murder said as if everything he said made perfect sense.

“How can you just talk about killing her like that?” Lawrynn asked.

“Why you so concerned about if she lives or dies? She may be your blood, but she damn sure ain’t family. It’s not that she’s a hoe because we all have hoes in our family. It’s the fact that she is purposely aiming her pussy at any nigga’s dick that is dealing with y’all. You gotta be able to trust family, and that’s one hoe right there who I wouldn’t leave with my dog. She might fuck around and try to fuck that motherfucker too,” Murder said and laughed.

“I wasn’t asking because of her. I was asking because death is something that doesn’t seem to bother you,” she told him.

“Babygirl, they don’t call me Murder because I let niggas and bitches live,” he said, shaking his head at her. There was no way she had just said that to him of all people. “Look, I kill people. If somebody comes up to you saying I killed their father, brother, uncle, or cousin, nine times out of ten, I did the shit. I can blow a nigga’s head off then sit down and write you a love letter. Death is a part of life. If people around me don’t want to die, they need to act like it. Trust me, everybody I’ve ever killed knew that shit was coming but still did whatever they did to violate,” Murder explained.

Lawrynn understood where Murder was coming from, but she still wasn’t used to the way he just so casually talked about killing. She had never dealt with anyone like Murder before. She was still getting used to him and the logic he used in certain situations.

Knowing that going back and forth with him was something

she didn’t need to do right now, she left the conversation alone.

“You went from one crazy nigga to the next,” Nell said as she cracked up laughing.

“Don’t be comparing me to any other nigga out here. There’s only one of me, and that’s really all the world needs right now. When I have a son, then the world is gonna have to get ready for two of us,” Murder said with a smile.

“You want kids? I never knew that,” Lawrynn said.

“Babygirl, all men want kids. I don’t have any brothers or sisters, so I definitely need to have at least two kids to carry on my last name and my legacy. I need the world to remember that Murder was here. Yeah, all the stories about shit that I’ve done in the past will do that, but nothing leaves a mark like kids do. Yeah, I want kids, but I only want them with you,” he told her.

“What if we break up in the future?” she asked.
