Allen paced the waiting area, resisting the urge to go to the back and see what the doctors were doing to Nell Deshanna was going to have to see him, and soon Allen and Deshanna were never officially a couple; they just ending up in a fuckingship The way Allen saw it, he fucked her whenever, and that was it He didn’t think about her ain She had called hi with her like that anymore He didn’t even expect for her to be out at the restaurant tonight She wasn’t the type of female you took out of the house, on dates, or to meet friends and family

“Allen, what do you need me to do?” his homeboy, Fleck, asked him

“Go to that bitch Deshanna’s house and sit If she leaves, then I need to knohere the hell she is Don’t lose her either If you lose her, then your ass is next,” Allen told him

Fleck nodded and walked away

“Allen, what the fuck you doing up here?” Pain asked as he came around the corner

“Deshanna and Nell got in a fight at the restaurant tonight The aet Nell, so I’ on with her I called her people so they can come up here,” Allen told Pain Pain looked at him in a funny way “What’s the problem?” Allen asked

“I thought you weren’t dealing with Deshanna on that level What changed? Oh, and just a heads-up, Nell’s norant as fuck I’ve had to stopher ass in the head plenty of times,” Pain told him

“I’m not anywhere near the ‘check the female I’m with level’ with Deshanna’s ass She doesn’t need to worry about who I’as As for Nell’sas she don’t put her hands on ive no fucks about what she says My only priority is Nell on any day,” Allen said

Pain just nodded He knew that Allen was gonna continue to be the gentle as he could On the other hand, Pain kneould only be a matter of time before Allen choked the shit out of her

“What’s going on with Nikki?” Allen asked Pain

“Nikki is still alive The baby is still hanging in there,” Pain answered

“Is she going to stay with you when she gets out of here? I know you’re gonna want to keep an eye on her while she waiting to go to court,” Allen said

“Fuck no She’s gonna have a nurse come to her condo and help her out I already have it set up to where the nurse will text me updates so I won’t have to talk to Nikki at all if I can help it,” Pain said

Allen could only shake his head at his friend He was aht about the situation his dude had put hiht now
