Mariah
I got ready to leave my office after a long eight hours of nothing. I was beyond tired and my feet ached with every step.
"Mariah!" I heard someone yell out. I groaned and turned around to see Tyrese. "Hello beautiful. "
My mouth turned up into a smile. "Hey."
"Are we still up for that date tonight?"
Shit. I forgot all about that. "C'mon baby. I already planned the whole night. "
I sighed and smiled. "Okay, okay. I'll meet you there. "
He flashed his pearly whites. "Alright mama. I'll see you then. " He walked away and went into his office. I shook my head and left out the building in search of my car. Once I got there, I wasn't expecting to see him.
"August, what are you doing here?" I asked irratatedly. I was tired of seeing him popping out of nowhere.
"I want ta' apologize fa' last night. I was juh goin' through a phase of temptation. Fa'give me?"
I bit my bottom lip, contemplating whether or not I should accept. My nose suddenly caught a whiff of his cologne. It took over my body, just like last night.
"Yes I forgive you August. "
He smirked and pulled me close. "I missed ya and that body of yours." He kissed my cheek.
"I have to go get ready for my date August."
He back away from me and frowned. "You still goin' wit' that nigga? You needa watch who you be hangin' around. Family too. "
"What you talking about?"
He shook his head and walked to his car. "I love you Mariah. " He got in and soon pulled off from the almost empty parking lot.
"What's going on?" I asked myself.

"Yay!" I shrieked when I knocked all 10 pins down. Tyrese clapped from behind me.
I did a little dance while giggling the whole time to my seat. This was my first strike for the whole two hours we been here.
"Congratulations. Now I have some type of competition. 20 to 1," he said with a taunting chuckle.
"Haha, very funny. Watch how I catch up though. "
"In the next two hours you will be at two. That's catching up alright. "
I nudged his head then sipped my Sprite. "Anyways, I enjoyed this little date. "
"Well ya know, I try my best to please you."
I grinned. "Well you don't have to try that much. I'm easy to please."
His left brow arched up. "Oh really?" He looked me up and down while licking his lips. I nodded my head and sipped my drink again. "I need to get home. I have a long day to prepare for tomorrow." He stood up and helped me out of my chair. I grabbed my things and gave back the bowling shoes. Tyrese snaked his arm around my waist as we walked to my car.
"I had an amazing night. Thank you for that," I said with a smile. He returned it. "You're very welcome. Maybe we can go on another date soon if your pitbull is okay with it?"
I hit his chest while giggling. "Stop talking about him."
"Speaking of the devil," Tyrese whispered while looking ahead. I followed his gaze and saw August staring at us deadly. Then a woman came up behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist. I turned my head, feeling jealousy taking over my body. Tyrese grabbed my chin, just like August does, and stared into my eyes.
"Look, it's alright. I can be your August Alsina," he said with a chuckle. I faked chuckled along with him then sighed. "I got to go. Thanks for the date again."
"No problem," he leaned down to kiss my lips but I moved my head quickly. I got into my car and stared at a disapointed Tyrese walking away. I started my car and drove off quickly.

August
"Man whatchu' do that fa'?" I asked Michelle. I removed ha arms from aroun' my waist and went inside of the building. "Better hope she didn't see ya ass."
She shrugged and sat down at a table. I sat across from ha. "I don't care August. Why you runnin' after her anyways? Clearly see she doesn't feel the same." I grabbed ha arm and glared inta' ha eyes. "You don't know nothin' 'bout me and ha so shut the fuck up."
She looked taken aback from my comment but I didn't give a fuck. She bad mouthin' her sista ova' what? Dumb ass broads these days.
She started giggling, "August, I'm sure her interest in you is long gone since Tyrese came into the picture. "
"What picture? This is a fuckin' book, not no movie. "
"You get what I'm saying August. "
I shook my head. "No I don't! Das my girl and she will foreva' be my girl. She'll be with me soon, watch. "
"Why can't you just love me August?"
" 'Cause you ain't shit and I don't know yo ass. "
She pounded her fist on the table, makin' me jump slightly. "I'm tired of your bullshit. "
I chuckled, "I feel the same way ma. You gon' help me or nah?"
"Why would I help you? What would I get in return?" she said with a sly smirk.
"A fuckin thank you girl.".
She frowned, "Well since I can't get to you, yeah I guess. What do I have to do?"
"Get that nigga Tyrese out the book."
"Mm okay. "
I tapped her wrist and stood up. "Nice meetin' ya tonigh' even though we didn't do shit but fuss," I said with a chuckle.
I walked away hearin' ha mumble something under her breath.
I walked out of the building and got inta' my pretty muhfucka that I loved dearly. I drove off, my destination towards Mariah's house. I don't even know why I'm trippin' so hard ova' a broad. I haven't felt this way in a while since my last ex and I'm scared of the effects.
I turned the corna' of the boulevard and kept straight. Once I got ta' ha house, the livin' room lights were on. I got out of my car and locked it. I knocked on ha' do' and it opened instantly. I was met with ha' face, she looked distraught or some shit.
"Whats wrong witchu'?" I asked ha. She opened the do' wider, allowin' me ta' come in. She went straight inta' the kitchen, with me followin' close behind. "What's wrong witchu' ma?" I asked once again but she ignored me.
"I'm not goin' ta' ask you anymo'! What the fuck wrong witchu' girl?" I grabbed ha wrist and turned ha towards me.
"Let go of me August!"
"Not until you tell me what's wrong!" I felt myself getting heated.
"Go ask that fuckin' girl what's wrong with her. "
I chuckled. Jealousy? "You jealous?"
She snatched ha wrist out of my grasp. "Jealous for what? You're not my man."
"But I can be, " I whispered.
She shook ha head. "I can't be with you August. I can't suffer another heartbreak. I heard about you and it's just so much I can take. "
I clenched my fist, scowlin' instantly. So she believes what the media says?
"Why you believin' what otha' people sayin'? I ain't like that. " I look inta' ha eyes. They was beautiful as hell. I would like ta' swim in the pools of light brown. I lifted up ha chin, surprised she didn't stop me. I kissed ha lips while squeezin' ha ass.
"August, " she mumbled against my lips.
I pulled away agitated. I'm tired of ha interruptin' our moments.
"I want you to... "
