I was a happy man.

The family had been in Miami for the last 3
weeks.

Boog had been  quiet, especially around me.
We were the only two  home and I wanted some answers.

Lauren..... I walk in and she's on the phone.  She says one minute.

She finished and comes out the bedroom to find me sitting on the bed.

💖 You needed something?

I pat the bed that we hadn't shared since they had moved in.

I know you hella angry with me. I know you tired and  over my apologies for real.

She looks down.

💖What did I tell you Hussle?

I don't want to fail this pop quiz. Lauren has been patient with me, but she ain't no punk either!

Being a certified rapper and banger got me no extra credit in her courtroom.

I look her in the eyes and say that you're here til you're not.

💖what else?

That you love me with all the breath in your
body.

💖Exactly and I thought you loved me too. She wiped her face quickly.  For 4 days I thought you were dead. When I met you, i knew this was a possibility.

I was sick and scared to sleep. I lied to the kids and tried to prepare myself for having to...she chokes up.

Lau...

💖shhhhhh I understand why you did it...
I know you'd  go to war for all of us. 

Samiel is the best brother anyone could have. I also know you're a good man and love your family. This..... it's......

she dissolves in tears

I ALWAYS LOVE MY WIFE.  I DONT WANT YOU TO EVER BE IN QUESTION OF THAT!
YOU HEAR ME!!!!

I edge her close to me kissing on the top of her head.

She nods quietly...

This life, my street life isn't what i want for our sons.  I definitely don't want my daughters to not have their protector.....I don't want to turn you into a widow. 

💖Then don't.  Your life is valuable.

She gets up and walks out the room.

I sit there for a while and reflect....

I come downstairs and see Boog, Blacc
and Sammy talking.  They had just come in from the supermarket.

Boog was organizing the fridge and pantry to her liking.
