Misunderstood -August Alsina Love Story

Chapter 8

-Aubrey

Adrian and I were still sitting on the couch when August called everybody to the table for breakfast. I was the first one to the table because August can throw it down in the kitchen. Melanie slowly walked into the kitchen, she looked upset. She sat across from me and didn't say a word. I'd have to talk to her later.

Jason was already at the table when I walked in because him and August were talking. Then the last person to the table was Adrian. He sat down next to me.

August had a whole bunch of food on the table. He made eggs, waffles, pancakes, grits and biscuits. Everybody dug in. The table was kind of quiet while everyone was eating but as we slowed down Jason started a conversation.

He cleared his throat, "so Adrian how long have you and Aubrey known each other?". I sighed. He sounded like he was suppose to be my dad or something.

Adrian looked at me, "well we met a few days ago. At Golden Corral, she accidentally bumped into me, dropping all her food.", he said chuckling.

I hit his arm, "shut upp".

"So what she bumps into you and you do what?", Jason continued. "Well she apologized, we had a small conversation and we exchanged numbers. Nothing big", Adrian replied.

Then he asked a question, "so how did you 3 meet Aubrey?". August looked up, "well around 3 or 4 days ago I was cruising around the streets. She ran out onto the street and I almost hit her. So after I helped her up, I offered her a place to stay, introduced her to Mel and Jason, and now we're here".

Adrian nodded his head and looked at me again. I looked at him, "what?".

"Nothing", he said. It was an awkward silence after that. "Well..", I started, "Adrian and I are going shopping then to get something to eat. Anybody wanna come with us or..?".

Melanie looked up. It didn't look like she was sad anymore but I honestly think she's hiding something, "yea we'll go", she said.

"Speak for yourself", Jason said, "I'm staying my black ass home". August looked at him, "nah nigga you coming with us fuck you mean?".

"Well I guess it's settled", Melanie said as she got up, "everybody is going". With that she went upstairs, "I'm going to shower and get ready", she yelled.

Jason rolled his eyes, "guess I should go shower and shit too". He got up and left. "August do you want me to clean up?", I asked him as I got up. There wasn't anything left to clean but the dishes because everybody ate everything.

"Uhh it doesn't matter Rey", he said as he pushed his chair in. "Adrian wanna help me wash the dishes?", I asked him.

"Of course", he responded smiling. We gathered all the plates and spoons then went to the sink. August went upstairs mumbling. In about 10 minutes we were done.

"Okay I'm gonna go upstairs and get my clothes because you still gotta go home right?", I said to Adrian. He nodded his head, "bring your clothes you can change at my place".

I smiled, "okay I'll be right back". I ran upstairs and grabbed my clothes. I had a sleeveless Coca~Cola shirt, some high waist ripped jeans, and some black sandals. I shoved them in a duffel bag.

Just as I was about to leave I turned around and went into the bathroom. Almost forgot my flat iron.

Adrian was waiting outside in the car, so I grabbed my phone off the couch and walked out. When I got in the car Adrian asked me if I had everything. I nodded and he drove off. His car was a grey Porsche. It was nice.

"Adrian you know a question I've failed to ask you?", I said. He looked at me then back at the road and chuckled, "what question is that".

"How old are you?", I said. "Well I'm 20. My birthday wasn't too long ago, how about you Rey. How old are you?".
