"Baby, what's going on," he asked me as he mugged Lorenzo then me. I looked at him and I could tell that he was drunk himself.
"I'm so sick of this shit, Nia. I'm trying with you but every time I turn my back, you back with this dude" Will said angrily.
"Will, this is not the time nor is it like that," I said.
"Well, what is it like then? You ain't shit but a hoe" he spat at me.
"EXCUSE ME, YOUNG MAN. But don't talk to her in that way" Nelle said standing up and getting in front of me.
"You are being really disrespectful to her. All night, I've managed to sit back and let you talk your shit. But what you are not about to do is call her out of her name. If you're gonna be with her, respect her" Lorenzo said as he stepped in Will's face. Will chuckled.
"So I take it you don't know that she slept with your homeboy," Will said laughing. My mouth flew open and Will looked at me. He smirked.
"You think I ain't know? I read y'all messages. You ain't shit, Nia. My man, you really taking up for a trifling ass hoe" Will said chuckling in Lorenzo's face. Lorenzo drew his fist back and punched the hell out of Will. Will hit the ground and quickly got up. He stormed off and hopped in his car.
Lorenzo looked at me and I saw nothing but hurt in his face. He ran his tongue across his jaw and stared at me in disbelief.
"Lorenzo, I didn-" I started to say as he cut me off.
"I DON'T GIVE A F-.. I don't care, Nia" he said chuckling. My mother stood in between Lorenzo and me.
"I'm about to head out in a minute. I'm about to let everyone know I'm leaving," he said without making eye contact with me. He walked back inside of the house.
"I'll be back," I said to Nelle as I quickly walked up the stairs. Tears streamed down my face as I quickly went inside the house. I walked upstairs and quickly shut the door. God, how did this just happen?
Chapter 22: Love Prevails
Nia's POV:
September 20th
11:55pm
I walked to my bedroom and sat on the bed. I cried my eyes out as I tried to not mess up my makeup.
**BOOM**
What the hell? I heard something hard hit against the wall and glass breaking. I quickly stood up and ran downstairs.
I saw Lorenzo and CJ fighting. Maurice and Nelle were trying to break them up. I didn't see Lauryn anymore. All of my pictures and decorations that were on the walls hit the floor.
"Y'ALL STOP" I yelled as they both tried to push me out of the way.
"SO YOU GONE STEAL OFF ME" CJ yelled as he pulled his pants up.
"Man, on God you a bitch. How the fuck you my homeboy but you fucking my girl? That's some foul as shit bruh" Lorenzo said swinging on CJ. Lorenzo staggered a bit and missed. He's drunk and he needs to sit his ass down. I ran in between them and pushed them apart. Lorenzo shoved me hard as hell.
"Man, Nia. How the fuck you gone look me in my face and tell me you love me when you were fucking around with CJ? Come on, man. It could've been anybody else but him" he said chuckling in my face.
"You ain't shit, bruh. This whole time you have been pointing fingers at me for being with other females, but you were fucking with him" Lorenzo said getting closer in my face.
"I didn't have sex with him," I said to him. He chuckled harder.
"You think I believe that shit?" Lorenzo asked.
"Man, CJ, you my boy and this my girl, bruh," Lorenzo said laughing, shaking his head. I saw nothing but hurt on his face. I sighed.
"Y'all better be glad my sister ain't here. She loves both of y'all, and this for sure is gonna hurt her" Lorenzo said shaking his head as he walked out.
I sat down on the couch and sighed. Maurice stood in front of me and reached for a hug.
"It's ok, sis. I don't know what happened, but I know you beating yourself up already" Maurice said as he hugged me tightly. He stared at me and sighed.
"I'm sorry," I said as tears ran down my face.
"Girl, hush. You are just drunk right now and a mess. It's your birthday. Will could've saved all this for another day. Let that boy go. He ain't shit and he doesn't give a damn about you. His whole plan was to drop in and ruin your night anyways. I saw that look on his face when he walked in and spoke to Lo" Maurice said.
"Don't mind, Lo. He's just mainly hurt, right now. Just give him some time" he said as he hugged me again then CJ and Nelle.
"It was nice meeting you and I'm sorry you had to see us like this. We normally ain't this ghetto" he said, making me laugh to myself. I feel completely drained.
"I'll see y'all later," Maurice said as he walked out leaving me, Nelle, and CJ.
"You sure you're ok," Nelle asked me. I looked in her face and I did see the concern. It actually feels like she cares about me.
"Yes, I'm fine. I just need to sleep some of this alcohol off" I said to her. She smiled.
"It was nice meeting you. And don't let any of this get you down. You are a beautiful woman. You will get all the love you deserve if you allow yourself to receive it" she said as she cupped my face.
"Where are you staying," I asked.
"I have a hotel downtown. I'll be staying there tonight and tomorrow" she said.
"Well, you can come over in the morning. I would love to talk with you more" I said to her.
She smiled at me and hugged me. She walked out leaving me and CJ alone. He sat on the couch with me at the opposite end. He had his face in his hands.
"It's all my fault, CJ. I've never seen Lorenzo so calm" I said to him.
"Man, don't do that, Nia. It's both of our faults. I ain't try hard enough to stop you that night. I gave in to you and I fucked up. And yeah, Lo was hurt and I haven't ever seen him so hurt" CJ said. I started to get chills as I thought about Lorenzo. I could feel the hurt he felt as he looked at me. I hate that I did this to him.
"Damn, I don't think he'll let this go," CJ said as he stood up and dug in his pockets.
"He will. If anything, he'll forgive you quicker. You're his brother. He can't live without you" I said to him. I could see the worry all on his face.
"Nah, if anything, he'll forgive you. He has a weakness for you. That's why he's so hurt" he said.
"Regardless of what you may think and what he has fooled himself to think, y'all both love each other. I saw that shit in his eyes the moment he first told me about you" he said.
"And you know what I told him," he asked, smirking.
"What," I asked. Knowing him, it's something crazy.
"To look the other way," he said with a straight face. My mouth flew open and he busted out laughing. I laughed at him.
"I'm serious, though. I told him that but look at y'all now. Y'all both love each other and I fucked that up for y'all. I should've been stronger and not let shit get out of hand" he said shaking his head.
"And he cares about you and loves you just as much as he loves me. That's why he's hurt" I said as tears filled my eyes.
"Where is Lauryn," I asked.
"Thankfully, she was tired and left right before Lorenzo charged at me. She was going to say bye to you but I told her you went to bed" he said. I nodded.
"I feel so bad, CJ. I'm such a terrible person" I said as tears ran down my face.
"Man, chill. Here yo drunk ass go again" he said laughing.
"I know Lo. And he ain't gonna tell Lauryn. He loves Lauryn and he'll do whatever he can to protect her" he said. I sighed as he finished smoking his blunt.
"You just gotta make peace with yourself. The cat is out the bag now" CJ said to me shaking his head like he just dropped some knowledge on me. He laughed.
"I'm high as hell man. I'm just fucking with you" he said. I rolled my eyes.
"I'm about to go, alright," he added. I nodded and stood to walk him to the door.
"You're going home to Lauryn," I asked. He shrugged.
"She went to her house, so nah. Ima just give myself some space. Plus, I got some work to do tonight" he said.
"You gonna be ok," he asked. I nodd
ed and laughed.
"Yeah, why does everybody keep asking me that. I'm fine" I said.
"I mean you've had a hell of a birthday. Too many surprises" he said, bucking his eyes making me laugh. I nodded in agreement.
"I'm fine, though," I said as he hugged me. I smiled and hugged him back.
"Be safe" I said to him as he went to his truck and cranked it.
I shut the door and locked it. I looked around my house and sighed. It was a little messy. I grabbed the Hennessy bottle and started to sip on it as I cleaned up. I turned on my Pandora and connected it to the Bluetooth speaker.

Life's a trip
Heard you just turned seventeen and finally got some hips
Hustlers on the block go crazy when you lick your lips
But they just want relations, they don't want relationships
(Welcome to the real world)
It ain't the same
Fellas old enough to be your daddy know your name
Everybody's talkin' 'bout how much that girl done changed
Can't quite put your finger on it, but you feel it's strange
Like it's fire in your veins
Lyfe Jennings - S.E.X blasted through the speakers as I heard banging on the front door. I paused the music and looked at my clock. It was 1:15 am. I just really finished cleaning up. I had my blue LED lights on and I've been trying my best to get Lorenzo off my mind.
I walked to the door to open it and met eyes with Lorenzo. He stood there in my doorway and stared at me. He looked hurt, but I saw love in his eyes. He pushed past me. He smelled like pure weed and liquor. He sat on the couch and I shut the door. I
"Well come in then," I said to him sarcastically.
"Shut up," he said as I sat next to him and nothing but butterflies filled my stomach. He lit his blunt and pulled it.
"What are you doing here," I asked. He stared at me.
"I'm sorry," I said to him.
"I was drunk and I truly don't remember anything from that night," I said. He chuckled and pulled his gun out and sat it on the coffee table.
"I'll shoot you," he said.
"I ain't scared. Shoot me" I said to him as I grabbed the gun off the coffee table and handed it to him. He cocked it and pointed it at me.
"What are you a G or some?" he asked.
"Yeah. I ain't scared of nothing" I said to him as he ran the gun down my face. He pulled his blunt as he smirked at me. He's drunk and high as hell. I'm about to slap the hell out of him.
"I knew something was going on between y'all. That next morning, y'all was here huh? You didn't open the door for me cause you were with him" he said laughing.
"But you had him call me to play it off. I knew that shit" he added.
"Lorenzo" I started to say.
"You foul as fuck. I knew you were gonna end up doing some shit" he said. I stared at him and my heart felt like it was going to explode out of my chest. My head was banging from all this Hennessy.
"I'm sorry, Lorenzo. What else do you want me to say? You've done plenty of shit to hurt me too. But I didn't mean to hurt you. I was hurting myself and I was drinking so much that night. I just wanted to forget the world at the club" I said to him.
"And yes, I'm foul. It was some fucked up shit and I'm dealing with the consequences. I can't even look at you without feeling guilty. I'm sorry. I should've never got drunk that night, but I called you and you didn't come for me. And I don't remember anything else after that. I don't like CJ. I'm not attracted to him at all, Lorenzo. You're the man I want. You're all I want. I'm tired of playing games. I'm tired of biting my tongue. It's like it's always something blocking us. At first, it was me, then it was you, now it's this. Either you came back over here to stay with me or you can leave. But what you are not about to do is constantly degrade me for something that I already feel like shit about. I have already had a shitty birthday" I said standing up and opening my front door. Lorenzo chuckled and stood up. He got in my face and slammed the door shut. He picked me up and kissed my lips roughly.
"I love you," I said to him as he trailed his kisses down my neck.
"I know," he said as he laid me on the couch. He ripped my dress off and continued to trail his kisses down my body. Nothing but moans slipped out of my mouth.
"Damn" he grunted as he unhooked my bra. He slid my thongs off and licked his lips. He met eyes with me and my heart started to race. His face softened as his eyes roamed me. He wrapped his hands around my neck.
"Don't you ever in yo fucking life try no shit like that again. You hear me? I ain't playing with you, Nia" he spat at me as I tried to push his hands away. He squeezed my neck tighter. His pupils became a darker brown and I saw the pain in his eyes.
"You feel me?" he asked, smiling as he grinded in between my legs. I nodded. He let go of my neck and kissed me again.
"I love you," he said, staring through my eyes. I smiled and kissed him.
Lorenzo's POV
I stared down at Nia and she was beautiful as hell. She makes me feel weak. Tonight has been crazy as hell. I've never felt more crossed. I trusted Nia and I trusted CJ. I can't believe he fucked around with my girl. Any other time and with any other female, I wouldn't give a fuck. But it's different, it's Nia. I love her.
I was mad at her ass, but I forgive her. When I left earlier, I went over Morgan's. She made me see that with Nia is where I need to be. I was going to fuck Morgan but I stopped myself. She wasn't who I wanted and at that moment I realized that Nia is who I want.
I can tell whatever her and CJ had going on was a mistake. I saw it in his eyes and her eyes. He couldn't even look at me nor say shit to me. I'm pissed at CJ because he allowed the shit to happen, but he's my dawg. I love him just like I love Maurice. I don't know what to do.
I slowly took her nipples into my mouth as I traced circles around them with my tongue.
"Mmm," Nia moaned. She gripped my face and stared at me.
"Are you here to stay," she asked. I could see the worry all on her face. I pecked her lips and trailed kisses down her stomach. I slowly kissed her inner thighs as I pinned her legs down.
I spread her lips and took her clit into my mouth. I slowly ran my tongue up and down as she squeezed her legs together.
"Chill" I mumbled to her as I continued to devour her.
"Ooooh, Lo, that feels so good," she said as I watched her eyes roll to the back of her head.
"Lo, you didn't answer me," she said. I ignored her and continued to run my tongue from the top of her pussy to her ass.
"Ahhh shit yes" she moaned as I pushed her legs back further. I nibbled and started to suck on her pussy as I slowly inserted my fingers.
"OOOOOH BABY" she whined. I started to ram my fingers into her G-spot as I toyed with her clit.
"I'm about to cum, Renzo. Ooooh ahhhhh shit" she cried out as her hips started to buck. She pressed my head down further as I latched onto her clit. I inserted another finger into her as she started to lose her mind. I chuckled as I watched her body tremble. I'm still not stopping, though.
"LORENZO, ST-STOP" she yelled, slurring.
"Uh-huh," I mumbled as I pinned her legs down behind her head.
"B-baby..yessss" she cried out as her body shook harder. I felt her walls tighten around my fingers and she started to squirt everywhere. I smiled as I pulled my fingers out. I licked them clean as she pulled me into her. My face was soaking wet. She kissed my lips and cleaned up all her juices.
"Damn, girl. You tried to drown me" I said as she laughed. She turned over and closed her eyes. I laughed. She better be glad it's her birthday and I'm too tired to fuck tonight.
"Get in the bed," I said to her.
"Nooo," she whined as I stood up and picked her up.
"I drank too much," she said as I walked up the steps.
"Yeah, you did," I said to her as I walked towards her room. I turned the corner too quickly and made her hit her head.
&n
bsp; "AHHH SHIT" she yelled as I walked inside her room.
"Fuck, I'm sorry baby," I said laughing as I threw her onto the bed.
She grabbed my arm and pulled me into the bed with her.
"You didn't answer my question," she said.
"I wouldn't be doing this, would I," I asked as I took my shirt off.
"You did before," she said. I chuckled.
"I'm sorry about that," I said. I pulled her onto my chest.
