Nahla Reese

Nahla stared at the screen as she felt her heart starting to race. All these emotions were starting to resurface and Nahla wasn't ready. The last thing she wanted to do was break down in front of all these people. Especailly not before Polo showed up with his new girl.

Taking a deep breath Nahla locked her phone sliding it in her purse. She felt the need to get some fresh air but before she could even think to get up music started playing and Polo's voice came through the speakers.

"Girl you got me losing my mind. I just want you to see that I'm trying. Ever since you left the sun don't shine. Don't want to lose you in this race against time. Hypnotized by your love, I'm blind. It's so hard to pay attention to the signs. Without you feel like slowly I'm dying. Broken hearts can make a grown man cry" Polo began rapping putting his heart and soul into every word he spoke through the mic.

Wooski had assured him that Nahla was in attendance tonight so he wanted to make sure Nahla could feel just how sorry he was for how things went down between them. Walking out on stage he looked around the crowd looking for her. Finally finding her he locked eyes with her as he continued the song

"I was sitting there just thinking. Then reality had hit me. Hope I feel your same pain when that bitch Karma come and get me. Feel like I don't deserve you no more but I want you to be with me. We done built a bond so strong and from that love I know you miss me. Connected to you soul I feel it when you hug and kiss me. Now your shoulder is so cold and lately I been feeling empty. I got caught up in this fame and all these hoes I let it tempt me. In that hotel room alone remember I would hold you gently. Went on dates, we took some pictures everything was moving quickly. Manipulated I ain't think a new relationship would fit me. But I told you we can try it even though I know it's risky. Mind games with our emotions swear this shit get kinda tricky" Polo finished his verse not once letting his eyes leave Nahla's.

Nahla felt like she couldn't breathe as she listened to every word that left Polo's mouth. By now all eyes were on her but she couldn't get herself to move. She felt trapped in her seat by Polo's gaze. As the chorus played Polo found himself waking off the stage and through the crowd heading towards Nahla. She wanted to get up and run but her body was betraying her

"Keep her in love Pink because I like how them joggers fit her. Wondering how Ima play it. It was hard to get her. So beautiful I keep her smiling when I compliment her. If being this bad is a sin I hope that God forgive her. I kept you worried in them trenches tryna dodge the killers. Tryna escape from this commitment made our problems bigger. It's hard to love with disfunction wish my scars was thinner. Tryna forget me in your thoughts I hope your heart remember. Know It's gonna hurt to see another nigga bonding with her. Can't even look you in your eyes cause I'm burning up with Guilt for that moment went to far and now I fucked up what we built"

By the time Polo finished the song he was standing in front of Nahla who was trying her best to keep herself together. Taking in her beauty Polo couldn't lie to himself anymore. He was madly in love with her. Putting the Microphone up to his lips deciding to speak some words.

"I just want to thank everyone for coming out tonight and celebrate the release of my first album. It's been a long journey but we're finally here. This album is special to me because not only is it the first album of many but it's also a reminder to myself that my life isn't complete without my inspiration" Polo looked around the room. He looked at each and every camera that was surrounding him. He knew that it was only a matter of time before this whole thing would be uploaded to the blogs but at this moment he didn't care. He wanted to tell the world that he was in love.

Nahla looked around the room as well and felt like the room was closing in on her. Her anxiety was out of control but she knew she was stuck in her spot. She didn't know what Polo was going to do and that made her uneasy.

"About a month or so ago I made probably the biggest mistake of my life. I let my biggest blessing go. This woman has been there with me through everything and when I say everything I mean everything. Since we were 5 years old she has been a nigga's rock. She was the one that pushed me to follow my dream of becoming a rapper. Even paid for my first ever studio time. See most niggas would say I never knew what Love was until I met her but luckily for me I can say I ALWAYS knew what Love felt like because of her. I always knew what if felt like having someone care for me like my mother did. Honestly I don't know who was worst her or my OG"Polo said making everyone including Nahla who had tears running down her cheeks laugh with the last part.

As Polo continued talking Nahla was starting to feel calmer. It was like the words that he was speaking were slowly taking her anxiety away.

"And even though she hated the fact that I was in the streets she still made sure I was okay. She gave a nigga his first glock"Polo laughed shaking his head remembering the day that Nahla showed up to his grandma's house with the guys just to give him Trey's gun. "Whatever she could do to insure my safety she did that. Hustled whenever I got booked so she could bail me out. But aside from all that she's a nigga peace. She's a nigga's safe haven. No matter where we at as long as she's with me I'm at peace. They say home is where the heart is at and to me home is wherever she's at"Polo turned to look at Nahla giving her his attention "Nahla I'm sorry for everything I've ever put you through. This past year I've been nothing but a horrible boyfriend to you but that's because I don't know how to be a boyfriend. You've seen all my failed relationships. But I'm learning and I'm willing to do everything in my power to show you that. I don't want nobody else but you. I don't want nobody else to love you but me. So please Nahla give me another chance"

Polo put the mic on the table getting down on his knees waiting for Nahla to respond but before she could even open her mouth to speak gun shots rang throughout the venue. Quickly grabbing Nahla Polo slid under the table shielding her while the guys jumped up shooting back. Looking around at all the people screaming and running around Polo knew he had to get Nahla out of here safely.

"Nahla you good?"Polo asked wanting to make sure she didn't get hurt "Fuck man"He peaked from under the table cloth seeing just how crazy everything was

"Yeah I'm good"Nahla nodded her head trying to get her thoughts together because right now she was scared for her life.

"Stay here and don't move"Polo took his gun from his waist taking it off safety. Cocking it back he looked at Nahla once more "I love you"He told her sliding out from underneath the table shooting at the guys who were shooting at them

"We have to get out of here"Wooski yelled shooting a guy in the head before hiding behind a table shielding himself

"Cover me"Polo yelled reaching for Nahla pulling her from under the table "Come on"Shielding her they ran through the room towards a hallway closet. Looking around he made sure it was clear he opened the door pushing Nahla inside. "Stay here and do not come out until I come get you! Make sure you lock it!" Polo closed the door running back to help the others

"God please don't let nothing happen to Polo. Please protect us"Nahla prayed pleading that they could make it out safe. "Mom,Trey please protect us"Nahla cried not knowing what was going out there. The only thing that could be heard was gun shots.

She wanted to call her brothers but she didn't know where her phone was at. The last she seen it, it was on top of the table and she knew she couldn't go out there and get it.

Looking around the storage closet she looked for anything she could protect herself with incase they came in there looking for her even though ain't shit you can use against a gun. She was trying to stay as calm as possible. You would think that she would be used to this by now.

After a while the gun fire seem to come to a stop. She listened closely trying to see if she could hear any footsteps outside the door but everything was dead silent. She backed away from the door taking a deep breath praying that Polo or one of the guys would come get her and tell her everything is okay.

Hearing motion outside her door Nahla stayed very still trying not to make no noise. Thinking everything was in the clear she let out a sigh of relieve when all of sudden someone shot the door handle opening the door.

"Well look who we have here"The guy smirked seeing that he had found someone very special to Polo. "You a beauty no wonder that nigga crazy about you"He laughed walking closer

"Get away from me"Nahla said through gritted teeth

"Oh don't be like that" The guy was about to reach for her when all of sudden a gun sound went off and the guy fell to the floor

Looking up Nahla seen Polo standing their looking at the dead body.

"Mir!"Nahla semi yelled jumping over the body landing in Polo's arms hugging him tight feeling a relieve come over her

"It's okay Nahla I got you"Polo looked around making sure no one else was coming as he hugged her tight "You good?"He pulled away getting a good look at her making sure she wasn't harmed

"Yeah"She nodded her head "Are you okay?"She examined him making sure he didn't get hurt in the crossfire.

"Yeah but we have to get you out of here"Polo grabbed Nahla tight shielding her as he escorted her out the building

"Where's the guys at?"Nahla looked around trying to see if she could spot them but all she seen were dead bodies laid out everywhere

"They're with your brothers"Polo walked out the building watching his surroundings so that nobody could sneak up on them. Walking around the building he was met with Tony and all his people along with Tez,Dre and the guys

"Ladybug"Tez called out once he seen Nahla coming around the building with Polo.

"Tez, Dre"Nahla let go of Polo running straight to her brother's arms hugging them tight "What are you guys doing here?"

"After you left the house Savage said she had gotten weird feeling in her stomach and after we dropped you off and got home Tez and I got the same feeling so we knew we needed to get here quick"Dre hugged her tight

"You good though?"Tez asked examining his baby sister making sure she wasn't harmed

"Yeah just a little shaken up"She looked around "Mir saved my life"She smiled over at Polo who hadn't taken his eyes off of her since they left the building

"Cops on the way we need to get out of here"Tony came from around the other side of the building with Frankie and shooter right next to him "Princess you good?"He asked once his landed on Nahla

"Yeah"Nahla nodded her head as she got inside the truck followed by everyone else. She looked out the window seeing Polo get in another truck with Wooski and them. Sending him a smile the truck pulled off

_____________________________

Nahla was sitting in the chair she had in room staring at the wall thinking about the events that had happened tonight.



She was honestly thankful that Polo appeared when he did tonight because if he hadn't she didn't know what would have happened. A knock at her door snapped her out of her trance making her snap back to reality

"Come in"She turned her attention towards the door watching it open and Polo walk through the door

"How you doing?"He asked walking in closing the door behind him,

"I'm okay. How you doing? Sorry that your album release didn't turn out how you want"Nahla knew that Polo was upset about the way everything went down

"I don't care about that shit"Polo waved her off taking a seat on her bed "I'll redo it and make it better"He shrugged

"Thank you for saving my life"Nahla sent him a grateful smile trying to shake the awkwardness that was starting to fill the room.

"Ain't no need to thank me Nana. You know that I'll die protecting you and no matter what happens in life I'll always protect you"Polo grabbed Nahla's hand pulling her off the chair and into his lap. "I meant everything I said at the party. I'm sorry for the way things went down between us Nahla. If I could back and change it I would in a heartbeat"

"You felt so bad that you got another bitch right after?"Nahla got off his lap and stood in front of him crossing her arms across her chest. "That's how bad you felt? Fucked another bitch and made her your new girl?"

"I know that sounds bad but I was trying to forget you Nahla. I wanted to feel okay without you. But that only made me realize just how much I love you. You're the reason a nigga even wake up in the morning. No matter how many times I try and replace you don't nobody even come close to you. You're literally my heart Nahla and I don't want to do this shit without you. I know I have a lot to make up for but I promise if you give me another chance I'll prove to you that I'm worthy of it"

"But what about my modeling career and yo rap career?"Nahla questioned trying to see how he felt about it because she wasn't going to give up her dream for nobody

"We can make it work. I'll do whatever to make it work. I don't want you to give up on your dream and I also don't want to give up on us"The month that he spent without her was enough to make him realize that Nahla was the only girl for him.

"You're going to have to prove it Mir. I can't keep letting you hurt me"Nahla shook her head "I want to believe you but I know how that shit goes. So prove to me your serious and then I'll think about giving you another chance"

"You got my word that Ima do whatever to win you back"
