NOT EDITED

Part one

Jamir Coleman (Polo)

It was a few hours before the party and Polo couldn't seem to get himself to get up from his spot on the bed to get ready. He was having so many emotions running through his body that it was making it hard for him to keep himself together.

"Fuck this shit"Polo said to himself grabbing the phone off the night stand. Unlocking it he went to his music folders where he had all the songs he wrote about Nahla. Some of them were old and a few of them were songs that he had wrote in the past two months. Instead of dwelling on his breakup with Nahla he locked himself in the studio let his emotions out on the beat.

Scrolling through his folder he clicked on a song titled "Martin and Gina" pressing play he couldn't help but crack a smile thinking about the times him and Nahla had.

"I think about you on the road when I tear down the booth. Girl I can't wait till I get home and fuck the shit out of you. Even on your worst days girl you still kind of cute. If it go down,I'm gon protect you pull that stick out and shoot. All I want is your love. I can't see no bitch after you. Off emotions we did things that we didn't have to do. Scared of you leaving I told lies when you asked for the truth.I second guessed If you the one that's when I didn't have a clue.They be Martin and Gina but we ain't think about the behind the scenes. The way I kill it lose her voice when she tryna scream. We from the trenches, we moved on to the finer things" Once the first verse was done all these memories started flooding Polo's mind causing his heart to start aching

Polo and Nahla were both in Nahla's grandma's kitchen trying to bake a cake for Polo's mom's birthday.

"Mir did you take everything out the oven?"Nahla asked once she got hit with smell of burning rubber

"Why the fuck you keep shit in the oven Nahla?"Polo asked running over to the oven seeing that there was a bunch or pots and pans along with a plastic tray in there.

"Where else are we going to put it Mir?"Nahla shook her head helping Polo take everything out the oven "Doesn't your mom do this?"

"How the fuck am I suppose to know what she puts in the oven?"Polo never cooked a day in his life so he honestly didn't know how any of this worked. He just assumed that the oven would be clear

"You really need to start cooking more"Nahla told him cleaning up the melted plastic trying not to burn herself

"For what? I got you and mama to cook for me"Polo shrugged throwing away the half melted tray.

"You got me fucked up thinking I'm going to cook for you when you got two working hands"

"Just shut up and kiss me"Polo laughed pulling Nahla to him giving her a kiss which she happily returned

The second verse of the song played snapping Polo out of his thoughts causing him to listen to it. He wanted to make sure it was good and didn't need anymore editing because he planned on playing it at his party.

"I get this feeling in my stomach when you next to me. Man I'm tryna get to know you sexually. Take you on shopping sprees for therapy. Move you out to Cali in my mansion taking care of me. I know sometimes I'm crazy I was hoping you could bear with me. Beauty and the beast, Pretty girl with a gangster. I swear you still the baddest in the room with no makeup.You the type of women every hood nigga pray for. I vow to stay a hundred never change up. In that sundress damn your body so amazing. Love the way you smell. I'm addicted to your fragrance. It's something about you but I really can't explain it. Just know that you mine. I tell that nigga he can save it" The second verse finished and Polo shut the song off not letting the chorus repeat itself.

"Damn Nahla you got a nigga fucked up"Polo shook his head staring at his wallpaper. It was a picture that Nahla had sent him a week before their breakup.



Hearing his bedroom door open he quickly locked his phone throwing it on the bed. Turning his head towards the door he noticed it was the girl he was seeing.

"What are you doing in here by yourself?"She walked in closing the door behind her"And why aren't you getting dressed yet?"

"I just wanted some time to myself that's all"Polo shrugged not really in the mood to entertain her "I'll get ready in a bit Daijah"

"Is everything okay?"Daijah sensed that Polo was feeling irritated and she wanted to find out what had happened

"I just need to be alone for a minute"Polo told her again because clearly she didn't hear him the first time and he really wasn't trying to take out his frustration on her. "I'll be cool just give me some time to myself "He got up from the bed getting ready to walk her out.

"I know what you need baby"Daijah smiled walking over to where Polo was standing pushing him on the bed then getting on top of him.



Daijah began kissing on Polo's necked grinding against his dick trying to get him turned on so that they could go a quick round before they needed to head out. Polo was starting to give in when a flashback of Nahla and him popped up in his head causing him to snap out it

"Daijah I'm not in the mood right now"Polo gently pushed her off of him sitting up running his hands down his face. "Can't you see I have a party to get ready for?"

"Fuck is wrong with you"Daijah was starting to get tired of Polo's attitude. "You've been in this funk ass mood for the past two days and It's getting fucking irritating"She got out of bed sliding her shirt and some shorts on

"If you don't fucking like my attitude then get the fuck out"Polo pointed towards the door "Yo ass ain't doing shit but making it worst"

"Are you trying to break up with me?"Daijah was taken back by the fact that Polo was actually yelling at her.

"Take it how the fuck you want but get the fuck out my house. All yo ass do is fucking complain and try and spend my fucking money"Polo was starting to realize just how much Nahla truly meant to him.

"Fuck yo broke ass anyways"Daijah yelled collecting her things because she wasn't trying to keep arguing with Polo

"Broke? Bitch leave all this shit because I bought it. All yo ass had when we met is the clothes yo ass wearing right now so who's really broke?"Polo laughed "Matter fact"He grabbed her arm dragging her out of his room and down the stairs

"Let me go you're hurting me"Daijah yelled trying to get out of Polo's grip but it was no use"Polo let me fucking go"

"Gladly"Polo told her opening the door basically throwing her out. She was starting to irritate him so bad and he didn't even know why because in all honesty she didn't even do anything to him

"Are you okay?"Leilani asked Polo as she came down the stairs. She heard all the commotion and wanted to check it out herself.

"I'm fine"Polo walked passed her heading back up the stairs "I'm going to be in my room getting ready if you need me"

Nahla Reese

It was now two hours before the Listening party and Nahla was still in her bed sleeping peacefully. That was until Savage walked in waking her up.

"Nahla"Savage called out walking in her room closing the door behind her "Nahla wake yo lazy ass up"She snatched the covers off Nahla waking her



"Savage stop"Nahla grabbed her covers covering herself all over again "It's too early for all this"Nahla turned over trying to go back to sleep

"Nahla it's fucking 4 in the evening. Talking about fucking early"Savage laughed pulling the covers off again "We need to get ready for this listening party"She grabbed her arm pulling Nahla out of bed.

"Savage I told you last night that I wasn't going to go anymore"Nahla whined. She wanted to crawl back in bed and sleep the day away

"And I told yo ass that you're going"Savage shrugged going into Nahla's closet pulling out the two dresses "Now which one you wearing?"

"You're really not going to let this go are you?"Nahla looked at Savage who smiled throwing the dresses on the bed "Hurry and take a shower. I'll get the wand heated so we can curl your hair"

"You're going to curl my hair? That shit gonna take hours" Nahla looked at Savage like she lost her mind because curling her locs took all day for her.

"Well then yo ass should've been up this morning like we agreed" Savage mugged her taking the curling wand out of Nahla's vanity. "Besides you don't want to be there early"

Nahla watched Savage move around her room setting up. Taking a deep breath she exhaled shaking her head. Knowing that there was no way she was going to win against Savage, Nahla gave in getting up from her bed walking into the bathroom. Closing the door she made sure to lock it before standing in front of her sink staring at herself in the mirror.

"Stop being a bitch. You ain't no average female"Nahla talked to her reflection trying to talk some confidence into herself "Now go show Mir what he's missing out on"

Chuckling she turned her shower on adjusting the temperature to her liking. Letting the bathroom warm up a bit she grabbed her phone. She connected it to her speaker going to her playlist shuffling it. "You Can Have Him" by Ann Marie soon starting playing through the speaker and Nahla started singing along.

"So What's this shit that I'm hearing about you having bitches in your bed now? You say them hoes just hating. So they lying now? Shouldn't no bitch be able to tell me about your whereabouts. See I'd be wrong if I spaz out. Pull up to yo crib and just start knocking all them hoes out. Boy you got me fucked up cause you fucking with my heart now. Said I found someone to treat me better. Oh you mad now?You saying I'm letting my homies inside my head. But the biggest mistake was me letting you up in my bed or believing what you said when I knew you wasn't shit. But I knew about us so I guess I caused my own pain"

30 minutes later Nahla was walking out the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her body. Throwing her dirty clothes in the hamper. Walking over to her nightstand she grabbed her charger

"Come on sit"Savage patted the chair in front of her. She had all her supplies laid out ready to get started.

"I hate you, you know that?"Nahla chuckled taking a seat on the chair. "Can't believe you making me go"She plugged the charger in followed by her phone

"Girl shut up" Savage playfully hit Nahla. "You and I both know that you want to go and see who yo replacement is"

"Really don't" Nahla honestly didn't want to see who Polo was dating now. She was okay not knowing. "Let me text Damien"Nahla went into her messages getting ready to text her date letting him know that she changed her mind when she seen that Leilani had sent her something.

Clicking on the the message Nahla noticed that Leilani had sent her a video followed by a text saying You're the only one he loves Nahla

Clicking on the video Nahla let it play seeing that it looked like Leilani was standing outside someone's room. Hearing music playing She raised the phone to her ear hearing the song "Martin and Gina" playing in the background. Leilani was walking past Polo's room when he heard the song playing and knew she had to send it to Nahla.

"Savage listen"Nahla put her phone up to Savage's ear so she could listen to the song too"Mir's sister sent it to me" Hearing the song was starting to give her butterflies.

"That boy in love and acting stupid"Savage shook her head not understanding why men were so stupid "But come on let's get you ready"

Two hours later Nahla was finally ready to head out to the party. Her hair and makeup came out perfect and her dress was fitting her body perfectly as well. But that still didn't stop her anxiety from spinning out of control.

"Nahla no matter what happens tonight just remember that you're going to be fine. You don't need him but he needs you"Savage gave Nahla a reassuring hug

"I know I don't need him but I want him"Nahla admitted. She missed having her best friend around more than anything. "But I know I'll be good regardless"She smiled walking over to her mirror checking herself out

"You look beautiful"Savage complimented causing Nahla to turn around to face her for a second

"Thank you"Nahla smiled feeling really appreciative "Thank you for everything you do for me. You don't know how much it means to me to have you here with me. If it wasn't for you I don't know how I would survive in a household full of men"Nahla chuckled putting her phone on her dresser so she could take a picture.

"I love you and I'll do anything for you. I feel like you're my daughter"Savage chuckled giving Nahla a hug. The past year Savage grew so much love for Nahla that she would die for her. Knowing her story and how much she's been through caused Savage to have a soft spot for her and want to protect her at all times. "Now come on let's go show your brothers and cousins"

"Let me just take this video real quick"Nahla pressed the record button on her phone recording a quick little video



"Eh that'll do"Nahla shrugged grabbing her phone and purse making sure she had everything she needed "Okay let's go"They walked out the room

"Let me go down first" Savage walked past Nahla jogging down the stairs. "Aye pay attention" She called out once she reached the last step

Dre quickly grabbed the remote pausing the tv. The rest of the men sat up turning their attention towards the stairs where Nahla slowly came downstairs

Dre and Tez stared in aw at just how grown their baby sister looked. Seeing Nahla in the dress with heels and make up on was just another reminded that she wasn't a baby no more.

"Damn lady bug. You look beautiful"Tez pulled her into a hug "You need to stop growing on me man"He shook his head pulling away

"I'll try"Nahla laughed "Do I really look good?"She did a little spin for them

"You look beautiful princess which means we gone need to go with you"Tony got up grabbing his gun tucking it in his waistband.

"You really do look beautiful Nahla"Dre also have her a hug kissing her forehead "Each day you look more and more like mom" He smiled

Nahla was standing in front of the mirror of the girls bathroom. She had been at the party for about an hour now and there was no sign of Polo which for her was good because it gave her some time to warm up and get some drinks in her system.

Pulling out her phone she decided to take pictures. She was trying to take as long as she could because she didn't want to be in the room when Polo walked in with his new girl. Taking a few pictures she decided to post them on Instagram







NahlaG: I'm The One So I Can Never Be Replaced✨

Locking her phone up she put it back in her purse.Looking up at the mirror Nahla smirked feeling a wave of confidence take over her.

"Well Nahla you run this show"Smirking she walked out the bathroom heading back into the ballroom taking a seat at the table with the guys.

"Polo about to be walking in any minute"Wooski leaned over letting Nahla know so she wouldn't be caught off guard.

"I don't care no more"Nahla shrugged pulling her phone out seeing that Polo had liked and commented on her recent post.

Polo.capalot: You'll never be replaced. You're my heart always and forever
