Things been good between me and Lauren we got us a little house, I'm opening up my store the marathon clothing , and Emani and Kross beendriving us crazy as usual.

"Nigga hurry up before you be late to your own grand opening ". Samiel said shaking his head

"Dude you barely giving my time to get ready". I said putting on my chains then my hat

"Big boy waiting on you he want to chop it up with you a little before the opening". He said and I nod grabbing my phone and keys

"Let's go I'm driving cause you be on some other shit". I said walking out of the room with him following behind me

"What you saying my driving skills on point I don't know what you talking about". He said getting in the car as I start it up

"You drive like you don't have a fucking license is what I'm saying". I said pulling off towards our destination

Pulling up to 3420 W Slauson Ave, Ste F Los Angeles, CA 90043 was my store and it finally became a reality from talking about it in interview to actually being here.

"Get out bro". Samiel said standing outside the car bending down pushing me before standing back up and closing the door

Getting out of the car I close the door walking around the car to where Samiel stood before we walked in together.

"Aye Wassup Man". I said smiling slapping hands with big boy

"Wassup I just wanted to go over how things was going to play out". He said and I nod walking with him

Watching Kross play with toys in Bree's living room we sit and talk.

"Why you move all the way out here". I ask looking up from Kross

"Girl it's not me it's Tip he wanted to come all the way down here but I'm glad you and my god baby came to visit me". She said smiling at me

"But when do you go home". She asked causing me to look at the time on my phone

"Oh shoot girl I was supposed to been left an hour ago but I need to leave now in order to make it to Ermias grand opening on time". I said standing up grabbing my purse and picking up Kross

"Say bye bye tete". I said grabbing his hand waving it at Bree

"Bye tete baby". She said tickling his stomach causing him to laugh

"Alright we out". I said opening the door and walking outside

"Okay y'all be careful tell nipsey i'm proud of him". She said as I buckled Kross into his car seat

"We love you bye". I said waving out the window and pulling off

Standing outside of the store next to big boy I look out and see a lot of people in the parking lot.

"Nip could have taken his money and opened up a store anywhere but of course you know real recognize real". Big boy said and I stepped to the right of him

Somebody else spoke and after he was done they handed me the scissors and I cut the ribbon before handing the scissors off and grabbing the microphone

"Aye So Thank everybody for coming out I say this a lot but I feel like my area put me on Cause the music you know but Thank everybody this is for y'all this is for us". I said holding my arm up as I spoke

"This was not my labor this was my teams labor my dad, my brother, Adam thank y'all". I said giving the microphone to big boy

Standing back I watch as everybody walked into the store.

"DADDY". I heard voices yelling before I turned around and saw Emani holding Kross running towards me with Lauren smiling walking behind them

"I thought you text me you wasn't gone be able to make it". I said grabbing Kross and hugging emani kissing her forehead before reaching over her kissing and hugging Lauren

"We wanted to surprise you". She said smiling looking down at the kids

"Who's ready to go see daddy's new store". She asked the kids excitedly

"ME". They both yelled laughing and we walked

"Congratulations man". People said slapping hands with me as I walked past them

"Preciate it". I said with a head nod looking around

"Daddy can I have this hat right here". Emani asked holding it out

"Do you got the money for it". I asked looking down at her

"Yes". She said nodding

"Then you can get it". I said before walking over to Samiel

"How you feel about your new store man". He said bringing me into a hug as I smiled

"It's feels good to have something for my community and not only that to pass down to my kids". I said looking over at them only to see emani picking up every damn thing she laid her eyes on

"You ain't gone have shit to give if Emani keep looking around". He said causing us to laugh shaking our heads

"Tell me something I don't know". I said with a sigh

"Let's go over and talk to big boy before he leave". He said tapping me and I nod following behind him

This is just the beginning...
