Deshae pov
I was on my way home from Tamia's house so her and Nick could spend some time together and i could spend more time with August. When i got in, i took a shower and called August around 3:00. I called about 4 times but it kept going straight to voicemail. Wtf? August wouldnt turn his phone off knowing we were supposed to see each other today. I was getting upset but i ended up just waiting to see if he would call me back. I called Alexis and talked to her for a little bit and she was telling me how she felt bad for Rico since her and Desmond were back on good terms. Idek why she started messing with that boy in the first place. I decided to make myself a sandwich until August called me back. I waited and waited and kept checking my phone. I didnt know where he lived so i couldnt go past his house. I was really worried. My phone rang and it was Tamia. "Uhm hey.... you with August?" She asked. "Girl no. I cant even get in touch with him. I called and it went to voicemail." I said. "Honey im about to send you this picture real quick" she said. I got nervous. What could the picture be about. "Ok" i said nervously. I waited and the picture came in about 2 minutes. It was August laid out on the bed sleep with a girls' hand on his chest but you couldnt see her face or body from the angle. "Who took the picture Shae?" She asked. I thought about it and the only thing I could think of was his ex. My heart started pumping and my eyes started watering. "How could he do this?" I said to Tamia. "You have an idea of who it could be?" She asked. "His ex" i said holding back tears. He told me he wouldnt lie to me and this is what happens. I dont know what to do anymore. "Thanks Mia" i said then hanging up the phone. I threw it at the wall and i started crying harder. I sat there for at least 30 minutes then got up ans dragged myself to my room. Before i got to the bed, there was a knock on the door. I groaned then went to look in the mirror to make sure i didnt look too bad and made my way back downstairs to open the door. It was August. "Where were you?" I said. "Look Deshae im sorry. My ex...." "You know what August. Fuck you and your ex. You want her, go get her. Im not playing these games with you. Im tired and im done." I said trying to close the door but he stopped it. "Deshae listen to me! She threw my phone in the toilet. Im sorry i couldnt answer you, ok?" He said looking in my eyes. I picked up my phone and noticed the cracked screen. Luckily it still worked. "Whats this?" I said showing him the picture Tamia sent me. "Deshae im sorry. We did have sex again but you can't be mad at me. You never gave me a answer on what you wanted me to do." He said. "August...tonight, i was planning on telling you just how i felt hoping we could start something. I don't think i can trust you anymore. At least not right now." I said. "Deshae you have no idea how i feel about you. All that was a mistake and i told you whatever you want, ill do whatever it takes to get it for you. Please. Can we just try this again? Im sorry i really am. What can i do to show you that? " August asked. I didnt know. How can i trust him to leave her alone? "August just give me some time please." I said getting ready to close the door. "Tomorrow? please? " he said. I could tell August was serious but i want him to learn from his mistake. Yeah hes right about me not giving him a answer but he should know better. If you want somebody, your ex should not be in the situation. I nodded and slowly closed the door.
Alexis pov
My mom was going out with some friends so me and Desmond were alone. "So..." he said. "So..." i said mocking him. He laughed and grabbed my hand, interlocking our fingers. "You my baby again?" He said looking at our hands then at me. "Before we get back to what we were, i gotta tell you something." I told him taking a deep breath. He sat up ans got ready to hear what i had to say. "Ard im ready." He said looking me in my eyes. "Uhm...me and Rico hooked up a few days ago. I stayed over his house and... after i seen the picture of you and Lauren it kind of was payback." He put his face down then looked back up. "Im not mad" he said massaging my hand. "You was hurt. I cant be mad." He said. I smiled a little then looked away. "I just dont know how to tell him" i told Desmond. "Well babe he know what we had and he should respect that" he said. "But Rico doesnt know what it feels like to be in love with somebody. Hes a player, you know that. So that amount of time you left me, he was just getting started. He wont understand why im going back to you." Rico never been in a long or close relationship like me and Desmond before. He hits and quits. One thing i dont want to do is hurt his feelings after choosing him when i was left in the dirt. "Ill just explain to him tomorrow" i told Desmond shaking my head. I was falling for Rico, i have to admit.
