Mariah

"I'm going to the bathroom," I announced to my small family. They all nodded their heads and continued to eat their food. I grabbed my purse and stood up to head to the restroom. I was passing August and his friend in the process. Once I got to the restroom area, I went inside of the girl's bathroom and smiled at the cleanliness.

"Smells good in hea'," a voice said from behind me. I turned around and saw August.

From our bump in earlier, I've been yearning to smell his scent once more. He sported yet  another black fit that suited him perfectly. He came closer to me, grabbing my chin once again. "You so beautiful baybeh. I just - damn. Got a nigga lost fa' words. I wanna be witchu'. Fa real." He licked his lips and stared into my eyes.

Get it together Mariah. He's just a man," I scolded myself as I felt my body weaken. Just his actions had my body doing flips repeatedly. "Aug-August, I can't. You're much younger than me."

"Age ain't nothin' but a numba'," he mumbled. His eyes still were connected with mine. "Just atleast let me take you out fa' dinna'. My treat, and I won't take no fa' an answer."

"Well I don't have much of a choice do I? " I said with a small giggle. 

August smiled, " not really. I'll text you whea' we  meetin' up at.  I'll see you tonight at 8." He kissed my forehead and started to leave out of the restroom.

" Wait August,  what should I wear? "

He stopped and looked me up and down while licking his plump lips.  "Surprise me. "

"I can't believe this.  My sister,  out of all people, is going on a date with August Alsina. The August Alsina. You one lucky ass bitch," Michelle rambled.

"It's just a date Michelle.  Nothing more,  nothing less. "

"Well it's going to be something more after the date, " Chelle mumbled. 

"What you said?"

"I said well you're going to be late for your date."

I laughed at her quick save and straightened the last piece of hair.  "Plus,  he's much younger than me.  He would not want to settle down because he has the mindset to fuck bitches and get money.  Really,  that's all I am.  A quick fuck."

"Well if you are just a quick fuck,  just so be it. When was the last time you were sexed by a man? "

I frowned up and looked at Chelle through the mirror.  "Listen here,  I don't need to have sex with nobody! I've been good without sex for two years, and I can go more." I sighed and turned to Chelle. "I didn't mean to jump down your throat."

She nodded and gathered her things. "No, no it's okay. I'm sorry for pressuring you. Hope you have a good night and tell me the details soon," she left out my room quietly.

"Oh my goodness," I mumbled to myself while getting my stuff and leaving the house.

My phone rung, signaling I had a notification.

Meet me at Popeyes.
-Aug

Popeyes?

August

I saw Mariah pull up in her candy red Audi.

"Ay bruh, the chicken ready?" I asked tha worker.

"Few more minutes man," he replied back.

"Few mo' minutes? Nigga you pos' ta' been done," I growled with a scowl on my face.

He mumbled somethin' as the ding of the door rung. I walked ova' ta' Mariah's side.

"Hey baybeh," I greeted while lookin' at ha attire. She looked sexy in ha fit and I couldn't wait ta' see it off.

"Why are we at Popeyes?"

I smiled while grabbin' ha hand. "I'm not much of a fancy restaurant type of guy and I love me some chicken. I hope you like it too."

She nodded while a smile appearead on ha face. "Yes I do." I pulled her over ta' a table and pulled out her chair like a gentleman should do. Once she sat down, I pushed ha up and went ta my chair.

"So, tell me more 'bout yourself beautiful?"

"Um, I love the color blue, I like shrimp, I am the oldest of two, I would like to own my own shop one day,  and I am a publicist at Shine magazine. "

I smiled and stroked my chin.  "Well,  a nigga like me love some fried chicken and -"

"Here's your food Mr. Alsina, " The boy says while settin' our food.  I had a variety of fried chicken,  macaroni,  potatoes,  biscuits,  and ta' top it odd, a chocolate pound cake.

"August,  this is a lot of food.. " Mariah said while looking over the items. 

"I didn't know what you liked,  so I got everything. You aight? "

She nodded and picked up a leg out the chicken box.  She bit a piece and sighed softly.  "This is good. "

I laughed and picked one up myself. 

For the rest of the night,  we ate and talked 'bout everything. I got ta' learn mo' about ha, and she learned mo' 'bout me.

"I had an amazing time.  You're not what I expected you to be Mr. Alsina," she said while I walked ha ta' ha car. I raised ma eyebrow and frowned slightly., "Whatchu mean by that ma?"

"Just how I said it. "

I poked my cheek with ma tongue and tightened my fist. Who tha fuck she is judgin' me? She leaned forward ta kiss my cheek, causin' me to calm down.

"See you soon August," she said before hoppin' in ha car and drivin' off.

"Did you take ya medicine August?" my momma asked me ova' tha phone. 

"I didn't take it today.  I had a date," I replied. 

"Boy you know what gon' happen if you don't take ya medicine? I tell ya lil' narrow ass the truth."

I chuckled, "Mama,  I will take ma medicine. Aight? "

She sighed through tha phone.  " Yes Aug. I just don't want you ta' have them episodes again baybeh. Be careful fa' me, yea hea? "

"Yea ma, love ya. "

"Love you too."
