"Latch"

The Weekend

(Reminder of how Melanie &Evelyn look in mm, along w/ added characters, Toya, played by Anjell Conwell &Aaron, played by Jason Weaver-who'll be mentioned later in the chapter)

Friday:

I got up that morning and took an early shower.

August had his gal pal, Toya, stay the night over and I wasn't sure if she was gonna be around all day, but if she was, I wasn't.

I had made plans to go get a mani and pedi with Evelyn and Kenya since Jennifer wasn't here and Myla still wasn't speaking to me.

After my shower and putting on my smell goods, I put on my matching pajama shorts and tank set until it was time for me to get ready to leave.

I went downstairs to an empty kitchen and made myself some waffles, eggs, and bacon.

Just as I was preparing my plate, August and his pokemon came into the kitchen laughing.

I rolled my eyes as I tried to ignore them.

(August's POV)

I had just finished bustin Toya's ass and den rolled me a nice blunt afterwards.

A nigga's stress level was at an all time low. Exactly what I needed.

"What are we doin tonight?", Toya asked, while snuggling close to me.

Don't get me wrong, I liked Toya, but I only liked her enough to chill wit and smash. I wasn't into all da clingy shit she was on and I damn sure wasn't tryna make her my girl. At least I ain't think so.

I blew smoke out, "Imma prolly chill wit da fellas tonight."

"Whyyyyy?", she whined. "I don't have any plans."

"So make some."

"Why can't you take me to the movies or somethin?", she asked.

"I can... I'm just not."

Before she could say anything else, I put the clip of my blunt in the ashtray and got outta bed to go take a shower.

As I was puttin on my gray sweats after lotioniong myself, the smell of bacon crept underneath my nose.

Melanie must've been downstairs making breakfast.

It was perfect timing cuz a nigga was famished!

"Someone else is here?", Toya asked.

"Yeah. My assistant.", I replied.

She raised her eyebrow. "She has a set of keys?"

I know this broad wasn't bout to lay up in my bed and question bout who I have in my house and I damn sure wasn't givin her an explanation that she ain't need.

She already had one of her bitch fits yesterday after she saw Mel's prenatal pills sittin on the kitchen counter and assumed that we were fuckin around and I got her pregnant.

Well of course we fucked that one time, but that was none of Toya's business.

I nodded my head, "She gon' be stayin here for a lil while."

"Oh.", she said, as she got outta bed and put on one of my long shirts. "Anyway, I hope you givin me money to get my hair done!... You made me sweat out my damn perm."

I threw some deodorant on underneath both armpits and then grabbed my phone off the nightstand.

"You betta start puttin a scarf on dat bitch."
