Chapter 17

Misty

"Ugh!"

Groaning at the sound of Aug's phone ringing, I covered my head with my pillow.

"Babe get your phone please!" I mumbled.

Sighing heavily as it continued, I rolled over only to realize I was laying in bed on my own. About to answer it myself, it stopped but soon after began to ring again.

Seeing an unsaved number on the screen I sucked my teeth. Knowing this was his new personal number, I knew it wasn't a work related call.

"Hello August's phone."

"May I speak to Aug please?"

Hearing a female voice, I became more alert by the manner in which the person spoke.

"Would you like to ask that question again, this time with less of an attitude?"

"Excuse?"

"I take it that's a no so you enjoy the rest of your day."

Ending the call, I placed his phone back and was about to get up when he walked into my room.

"Well I see ya up." He smiled.

"Thanks to your little friend who called just now."

Slipping my feet into my slides, I got my and made my way to the bathroom to get my morning routine going.

"What are you talking about?"

"Some female just called you're phone asking to speak to you but had an attitude when I answered."

"Huh?"

As he went and got his phone, I stood in the door way brushing my teeth as he checked.

"Ion know that number." He looked at me.

Walking back into the bathroom, I spat and continued what I was doing when he came to the doorway.

"Misty, I'm serious." He said again. "Ion know that number."

"Well they seem to know yours which happens to be a new number." I applied my facial scrub.

"Why I feel like you don't believe me right now?"

"All I'm saying is, this is a new number. Someone calls asking for you and you don't know who it is."

"What's this really about babe?"

Going into my medicine cabinet, I got out my advil, I took two before changing out of my clothes in front of him.

"Misty, I asked you a question. What is this really about?"

"Nothing Aug. Just forget it."

"You've been saying that a lot lately."

"Okay."

Turning on the shower, I got under the water. Closing my eyes as it fell from the crown of my head and rolled down my body. Hearing a sound, I slid the door back only to see him sitting on the toilet seat.

"What are you doing?"

"Sitting here minding my business." He shrugged.

Looking at him crazy, I just shook my head and went back my shower. Hearing another sound, I reopened the door, only to be startled by Aug now standing aside the shower door.

"Jesus Christ!"

"Don't take the Lord's name in vain." He said nonchalantly.

Sucking my teeth, I ignored his strange behavior and got my soap. As I lathered myself, the door opened and of course he came in.
