“Ohhh Marcus.”
“What the fuck?” NuNu said as she made her way to the basement door. She thought she was tripping as she placed an ear to the basement door.
“I bet your baby mama don’t be fucking you like this.”
This nigga has lost his fucking mind, she thought as she put hurried feet against her carpet and ran straight to her room and grabbed her phone. It was almost 2:30 in the morning and she was sure Leah was asleep but she called anyway. The phone just rang as she burned holes in the floor from pacing.
“Pick up the fucking phone Leah,” she said as the phone went to voicemail for the third time.
“Fuck this shit,” she said to herself as she raced down the stairs swiping up her keys and ran out the door.
NuNu didn't even put a coat on. She was going to get Leah and they were about to tear some shit up. She drove the 10 minutes to Leah's god mom’s house and hoped out running to the door.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
Leah heard the door as she lifted from the couch where she was sleeping with her American History book in her hand. She walked toward the door yawning.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
“I’m coming shit,” she called out.
She swung the door open without even asking who it was this late in the middle of the night.
“Nu what in the hell is wrong why you knocking at the damn door like that?” Leah snapped.
NuNu stepped inside.
“Get your shoes on bitch lets go,” NuNu said with her hand raised and thumb pointing back toward the door.
Leah sprang into action after noticing what NuNu had on. That was one thing about them, they always followed suit with one another when it came down to getting busy and having to scrape bitches. Leah was already in sweats and a tank, so she slid on a pair of all white forces and Baby Phat coat and headed out the door.
“Bitch is it Marcus?” she stopped and asked as Deja Vu hit her. This is how the scene played out last time NuNu came to get her with her fighting clothes on. She knew it wasn’t Tyson. Leah also knew it wasn’t just some random encounter either.
“Get in,” NuNu said as she climbed into the driver's side.
Leah wanted to protest but didn’t and climbed in the car. NuNu burned rubber pulling off.
“What the fuck he do now Nu?” Leah asked as she leaned her head back and waited for the blow she knew was coming.
“He got some bitch at my house in the basement fucking,” NuNu said shaking her head.
Leah snapped her neck in NuNu’s direction.
“He what?” she said.
She needed NuNu to run that back because she just knew she didn’t hear her correctly. Marcus had lost his mind. He had no regards for Leah. The things he was taking her through didn’t seem to matter to him. He moved how he wanted to and when he wanted to. He didn’t care how it made her feel or how it made her look. Marcus had Leah looking stupid in front of her own friends. Marcus had crossed the line tonight. To have a girl in Leah’s best friend’s basement screamed disrespect. It screamed that he had NuNu fucked up. It was no way she was about to allow him to flat out disrespect her or her friend.
“Yeah you heard me right Leah and I swear if you don’t leave that nigga alone after this, I’m beating your ass after you have my god daughter cause this nigga ain’t shit. This nigga beyond fucking bold for that shit and I’m about to beat her ass and his for the disrespect to my house and you.?” NuNu barked.
Leah sat in her seat, mouth agape. She didn't believe what she was hearing. She couldn’t believe it. He can’t be this damn disrespectful, she thought. Leah couldn't hide her emotions as she began to cry. Her chest felt heavy and she felt like she needed to vomit. Her baby girl started moving around, stretching her stomach. Leah placed her hand to her belly and rubbed as she tried to calm both her baby and her sickness.
“You know what take me back home I don’t give a fuck no more,” Leah said as she wiped at her wet face.
NuNu did not respond and just kept driving cause, either way, the girl was getting her ass beat. Leah would just have to be her cheerleader because there was no way she was letting this shit slide. Leah leaned her head against the window and her mind raced as she thought about all the shit he had been putting her through. She thought about how he had her out there looking stupid and it pissed her off.
“Matter of fact Nu I got this. I'm about to tear this bitch up and whatever I break I'll replace.”
NuNu smirked while pulling up to her home. That’s the Leah she needed to hear cause the one that was trying to be cool, calm, and collected wasn’t working for her. They both climbed out and made their way up the walkway. NuNu was on the porch in seconds, Leah was getting bigger she couldn’t move as quickly as she used to.
“Bitch hurry up,” NuNu said with a smile as she watched her friend waddle.
NuNu unlocked the door and put a finger to her lips, instructing Leah to be quiet.
“They’re in the basement, but Ty is on the couch with the baby. I'm about to make them go upstairs and when I come back down, we’ll go down there,” she whispered.
Leah nodded.
“Leah don’t fucking move, you pregnant and I don’t want shit to happen to you. Just watch me beat her ass for you.” NuNu coached. Leah nodded again disregarding what was said cause she meant what she said. She was about to fuck some shit up. NuNu tapped Tyson lightly as she removed the baby from his chest. “Let's go upstairs baby,” she whispered, putting the receiving blanket over her shoulder and placing little Tyson against it. NuNu ascended the stairs with Tyson swaggering behind her.
Once Leah heard Tyson hit the top step, she took off down the basement steps. She reached the bottom step and froze. Her heart galloped as she watched the girl on her knees sucking her cheating ass, dawg ass nigga’s dick. Marcus was fisting the girl’s braids as she was rocking his mic like she was auditioning to be a part of a girls group. Marcus let out a grunt and Leah saw red. She ran up and kicked the girl without deviation in the face.
“Bitch,” Leah screamed as she turned around and slapped the fuck out of Marcus.
She slapped the nigga so quick and hard that it caught him off guard and caused him to stumble. NuNu ran up two piecing the girl that was trying her hand at catching Leah off guard.
“Bitch you must be silly,” NuNu said as she dropped the girl from the blow that connected with her chin.
Tyson was right behind NuNu. She couldn't hide the fact that something was up. The duo was back in action dawg walking shit as the boys tried to break it up. “Nu’Asia.” Tyson barked. NuNu steeled. She had been busted trying to be slick thinking Tyson wouldn’t sniff her out. Marcus swooped Leah up and carried her up the stairs. He couldn't believe he had been so careless and got caught up.
“Chill mama you are pregnant and if something happens to my baby it's going to be a problem,” he said.
Leah recoiled. Is this nigga fucking serious?
“The only problem we got is your slick dick that you can't keep to yourself. Fuck you. WE’RE DONE!”
He had some nerves. He was the one cheating and beating on her, so how could he even fix his mouth to say if something happened to my baby. His laying hands on her and having sex with other girls could very much be the cause of something happening to their baby. Leah was a wreck. She swiped NuNu’s car keys and took off out the door, leaving Marcus standing there stupefied.
