Page 62 of I Heard It All Before

“What’s up with you and Cam? I know that him and your new nigga were tight, but what happened with y’all?” Lawrence questioned.

“Nothing really happened with us, we just broke up. Cam wasn’t trying to see no real money and I wasn’t trying to be broke.” Asha shrugged.

“What do you know about the new chick that he fucks with?” Lawrence asked, making Asha’s heart take a nose dive.

“What new chick?” she questioned.

“Man, keep this between us Asha, but that nigga Lo is out for blood. Now, I like Cam and we’ve never had any problems, but he’s out of line for fucking with that man’s wife,” Lawrence replied.

“What!” Asha yelled. “Cam is fucking with Lo’s wife?”

“The fuck is you getting so loud for,” Lawrence chastised as he looked back at the front door again.

“How do you know?” Asha asked.

“This lil bitch I be fucking with put me down on it. She saw them out at a restaurant and she said they go there a lot. Me and Lo rolled up on them not too long ago and shit got ugly. He tried to talk to his wife, but she ended up leaving with Cam. I’ve been trying to talk him off the ledge, but he wants Cam’s head. I don’t know how long I can talk some sense into him before he snaps. Demi is trying to divorce the man and everything,” Lawrence revealed.

“Who is Demi?” Asha questioned.

“That’s Lo’s wife,” Lawrence answered. “She’s a lawyer.”

“A lawyer!” Asha screeched, feeling like she wanted to vomit.

“Yep, she got her shit together,” Lawrence confirmed.

Unlike Lo, Lawrence always did talk way too much. He was cool in his own way, but Asha wouldn’t trust him to keep her secrets. Lo would have a fit if he knew that his boy was out there telling her so much of his personal business.

“So, she’s trying to divorce Lo to be with Cam?” Asha asked as she tried to fight back her tears.

Now, she knew why Cam never answered whenever she called him. He had moved on and they hadn’t even been separated that long. Granted, Asha had moved on too, but she didn’t love Randy. He was convenient at the time, but now he was starting to get under her skin.

“I don’t know if that’s why she wants a divorce, but that’s how Lo is taking it. My dude is all fucked up behind that shit. It’s like too much is happening to him all at once. First, some niggas ran up in his house, then his wife leaves him, and now he finds out that she’s fucking with a nigga that he was cool with. There’s only so much a man can take,” Lawrence noted.

“Damn,” Asha sighed. “Y’all still never found out who ran up in his house?”

“Nah, but it ain’t like we’re not trying,” Lawrence replied.

“Cam is dumb as fuck to be risking his life for a bitch,” Asha spat, jealousy evident in her tone.

“He’s definitely risking his life. And if it wasn’t for me, he’d probably already be dead. I got to follow that nigga Lo around like he’s a child, just to make sure he’s straight. His head is not in the game right now. That nigga sat outside of Cam’s shop for six hours one day, just watching him. That shit ain’t normal. I had to point out all the surveillance cameras to him, just to make sure he stayed his ass in the car. It’s like the nigga is obsessed.”

“This bitch better look good for them to be fighting behind her and shit.” Asha frowned.

“It ain’t about looks man. Demi is all that Lo knows. It’s a long story, but I know that he ain’t just gon’ give her up without a fight,” Lawrence assured her.

“Wow,” Asha said, for lack of anything better to say.

“I thought about going at Cam on some grown man shit to resolve everything, but Lo is my dude. I can’t go behind his back like that,” Lawrence explained.

Asha didn’t say anything else because she didn’t have anything to say. She did want to see who this Demi bitch was and what was so special that two fine ass niggas would be fighting over her. That wasn’t even like Cam, so he must have really like her. They both had Asha fucked up though. If they thought they were gonna live happily ever after, they were sadly mistaken. Lo wasn’t the only one who wanted them apart. He now had some help from Asha, even though he wouldn’t know it.
