"Man this macaroni good. Did you put something else in it" Maurice said causing the attention to turn to him.

"The same thing you use to maybe just a little more cheese" laurel took a bite of the macaroni

Laurel felt like the questions they were asking East were shady. She knew East was a tattoo artist and by his appearance she knew he use to work in drug category but hey at least he got out of it but still who was she to judge .

But she also knew her husband could be very judgmental about anything that didn't fit his 'perfect' image.

If her daughter wasn't happy then she would've said something about his job occupation but she could tell her baby was happy and that's all she wanted.

"So what million dollar company do you own?" John asked causing Maurice to choke on his chicken.

East own two tattoo shops that made him excellent money but not millions.

"I do tattoos and have two shops one in New York and one in Atlanta and I plan on opening a third location maybe out here I make good money but not millions." East shrugged.

Silence filled the table as Maurice Lauren laurel and Parker stared at John waiting on him to say something.

"Dad-"

"Is what I do a problem or something?" East furrowed his eyebrows.

"Of course no-"

"Yes it is and my daughter isn't about to date someone like you."

"Someone like me?" East coked his head back.

"Yea someone who's below her."

"Oh lord he we go." Maurice mumbled shaking his head.

"I knew you weren't something when I seen all those tat-"

"Parker shut up the fuck up your opinion don't matter to me any way. And dad if I want to date Dave I will. You can't keep controlling my life. And please stop disrespecting my boyfriend like that. Parker sweetie worry bout keeping a man before you talk about mine and what he does to make money because you and I both know I will beat yo ass." Lauren stood up slamming her fist on this table.

"Lauren who you think you talking to like that."

"Dad let's not go there." She rolled her eyes. "You were never there for me it was either mom or Maurice So you really have no place to tell me who I can and cannot date so you can be mad all want but I'm happy and I'm not breaking up with him because he doesn't fit this dumbass image you want"

laurel took her drink sipping it.

Maurice on the other hand was trying to hold in his laugh stuffing food in his mouth.

He was glad that Lauren was standing up for herself.

"I have no problem with Dave if Lauren's happy then I am to." Laurel spoke.

"If you really think I'm going to let you disrespect me then you must lost your got damn mind. Her the hell out of my house Lauren" John spat.

"Johan-"

"No mom it's ok. I was about to leave anyway.. let's go babe I love you mom." Lauren have her mother a hug.

He grabbed her hand as they left out the house.

East was also surprised that Lauren had his back that was something he wasn't use to.

"Look at you defending yo man and shit." He smirked pecking her lips.
Causing her blush.

"Shut up and drive ."

After leaving Lauren's parents house they weren't ready to go back to the hotel since it was there last night here.
So they went a frozen yogurt place by there hotel room.

"All that junk you got on there gone have to stomach fucked up."

"It's not your just hating because your is simple all you got is oreos."

"And." He smacked her butt making her jump and giggle.

"Stop doing that." She pouted.

"Girl that ass belong to me so I ain't gone stop shit."

"Ehh no it doesn't."  She said as they sat at a table.

"Yea ok." He chuckled.

Lauren put her head down playing her frozen yogurt a little bit before sighing.

"I'm sorry about what happened." She mumbled scooping some of the frozen yogurt into her mouth. " I didn't mean for this to happen."

East shrugged it really didn't affect him he lots people judge him off of his appearance.

"You good I ain't really tripping on it."

She nodded going back to eating her frozen yogurt.

"Aye get yo spoon out my bowl you shiting me."  He mugged her.

"Come on baby give me some please ." She whined.

"I could give you something else keep on." He smirked see her trying to hide the fact that she blushing.

"Man give me some." She rolled her eyes.

Smacking his teeth he pushed his bowl towards her letting her get some.

"Your a spoiled brat."

"And." She said sticking her tongue out catching her off guard he took her tongue in between his lips before giving her lips a couple pecks.

"Quit playing with me." He smirked.

"Oop I like that." She bit her lip crossing her legs.

Grabbing his face she pulled him closer she stuck her tongue in his mouth slowly sucking on his tongue.

"You nasty." He teases smirking.

"Only for you daddy." She winked.

"Oh really?" He raised a brow.

"Yep."

"Let's get back to this room and you can show me how nasty you are"

A smile appeared on her face. "Let's go then."
