Gangsta's Paradise

Realization

Nipsey

Me and Boog been at the crib chilling. It feels good as shit having her back home where she's supposed to be. I admit. I've been on some fuck shit. A nigga really didn't realize the full extent of my Queen until she wasn't here.
We are on our way to the store to get something to eat. Ain't shit in the fridge and I'm going to cook us dinner. I just walked out the bathroom, pulling on my shirt, going live on my Instagram. I was talking about some new music I had going on when I saw Boog struggling with her shoes.

"Baby, I got them. I got it."
"Ugh! This is so frustrating!"
"You like almost nine months pregnant. You don't need to be doing all this anyway."

I pulled her feet closer to me while rubbing them. She closed her eyes and I could tell she was enjoying it. I kissed the bottom of each foot before sliding her sandals on. I then stood up and pointed the camera to her.

"You know you're special to me right?"
"Oh yeah?"
"Hell yeah baby."
"What am I to you?"
"Say what?"
"What am I to you?"
"You my Wifey baby, wassup girl? Ayyee!"
"I'll be your friend..."
"You'll be my what?"
"I'll be your friend."
"Ha! Word. But you my best friend. My Queen, my everything girl."
"Whatever."

She smiled at me before shooting a bird and I walked behind her. I low key switched to my camera and was taking a video of her. I can't even lie, since she done got pregnant, that ass fat!
We got into my car and I turned on my old school playlist. We had plenty of dates like this. Riding around town, vibing to some straight hits. She laid her seat back and I rubbed her belly. She looked down blushing.
When we got to the store, I grabbed a cart as Lauren walked beside me. She was on her phone when some nigga almost walked into her. He glanced at me and went to grab her to steady her, already spewing off an apology

"Oh shit! I am so sorry! You good?!"
"Haha. Yeah, it's cool. Don't worry about it."
"Damn I'm-... Oh shit! Oh fuck! You-you're Lauren London!!"
"Yes, yes I am. How are you?"
"Damn you even finer in person. Pregnant and all! Shit!"
"Why thannnkkk yooouuu."
"No problem ma! Damn!"
"Wassup cuz?"
"Oh shit! Nipsey Hussle! Yo man, I'm a big fan!"
"Good shit cuz!"
"Damn, I thought y'all had broke up?"
"We got a family cuz. You know how that shit go."
"Right! Right, it was nice meeting y'all!"

I threw up my set at the nigga as I pushed the cart off. I looked at him and noticed he was focusing on Lauren's ass. He lucky I ain't trying to start no shit right now. So I decided to be petty and pulled her in front of me and wrapped my arms around her as she pushed the cart. She shrugged me off.

"Damn, it's like that?"
"Straight like that. You broke up with me. Keep that damn energy."
"How long you gonna hold this shit over my head?"
"Delete the shit and we'll see."
"Say less."

I pulled out my phone and deleted the post. I don't really give a fuck what nobody gotta say. It did exactly what I wanted. I got my girl attention and the possibility of fixing my fuck up. That's all I need.
We went down the candy isle and I rolled my eyes. She always gotta load up on candy. We eat healthy for the most part but Boog's ass keeps a stash of ice cream and candy. She grabbed a bag of Snickers, Caramel Chews and M&Ms. I shook my head. Her sweet tooth ass.
As we were leaving out the store, I realized that the nigga who spoke to us works at the store. I noticed cause homie was still staring at Lauren. He was pushing the carts and staring at her ass again. I got pissed. Who the fuck cuz think he is? Then he had the nerve to make a move.
I saw him slide her a card and she took it. She looked up at him and smiled, dimples out and everything. I didn't even waste time. I walked up and snatched the card out her hand, balling the shit up.

"Excuse you!"
"Get in the fucking car Boog!"
"You don't speak-"
"Get in the car Lauren!"
"Ugh! So dumb!"
"Aye nigga, you outta ya element."
"No offense, but money don't get or keep a woman."
"Fuck money cuz. That's my girl! Always and forever cuz! She got my baby and gonna have my ring!"
"It ain't on her finger yet bruh..."

The audacity of this muhhfucka! I was about to hit his ass when Lauren honked the horn. I cut my eyes at the nigga before throwing our shit in the trunk. Fuck him cuz! I got in the car, slamming my door. I looked over at Lauren.

"Aye cuz, keep playing with me!"
"I ain't did shit to you! What you don't value, another nigga will!"
"Like a broke nigga won't cheat."
"You right. Maybe I should find me a sexy ass girlfriend. Maybe she'll be true..."
"Fuck that. You know your ass ain't gay!"
"Whatever."

I got in my feelings and turned the music up, ignoring her ass. She didn't seem to care cause she was in her own world too, on her phone. I shook my head. This shit crazy man. I adore her ass. I've wanted her before the fame, before everything. Even before meeting Tanisha. Shit, the only reason I got with her is cause she looked kinda like Lauren. I never thought I would actually be in the position to get her. I mean, a nigga had hope, but damn. I really got Lauren London. I gotta get my shit together.
