Passion

Chapter 8

August

"So are you going to be out all night?"

"I'm not sure. Most likely the guys would want to do something afterwards. Why?"

"Well I was hoping we could spend some time together. It's like since we've made this relationship official, we barely see each other or spend any time together."

"Morgan please don't start." I sighed as I got my shoes.

"Don't start what? I'm simply telling you the truth. You're suppose to be on a vacation from music but here you are, choosing work over spending time together."

"See this is why you shouldn't have come. I told you I was going to be getting some work done while I was out here."

"I know but I would at least expect you to make some time for me, for us. When we were just hooking up, I saw you more than I do now."

"You knew what you were getting yourself into when we decided to make this shit official, so what the fuck is the problem now?"

Sitting there, she just stared at me. Shit was annoying me so I just decided to leave. Taking my phone and room key, I just left. Making my way to the lobby, I just exhaled and calmed myself before heading to Misty's place.

As I drove, my phone began to ring. Seeing Morgan's name, I just sucked my teeth but I answered.

"I'm driving." I answered.

"I know but I just wanted to apologize for coming at you like that."

"Okay."

"I'm serious babe. I'm just frustrated that's all and you're hardly ever around."

"I'm sorry too okay." I sighed. "You just frustrate me when you come at me like that then I just snap."

"Okay."

"Yeah."

"Anyway. I'll see you when you get back to the room"

"Yeah."

Pulling up to Misty's place, I got out and walked up to the door. Just as I was about to press the doorbell, the door opened.

"How did you do that?" I looked at her.

"I saw the car pull up." She laughed.

Stepping up to her, I held her by her waist and pulled her into me. Not thinking twice, I just kissed her.

"I thought y'all are suppose to be starting over?" We heard behind her.

"Wazzamin pretty lady?"

"Let me get my bag. I'll be right with you."

"No problem."

As she left, me and maw talked a bit.

"So how have you been?"

"Trying not to go crazy."

"Oh God. What you did?"

"Its more like what I haven't done."

"Which is?"

"I haven't told Misty that I sort of have a girl."

"What do you mean you sort of have a girl?"

"I have a girl but things ain't been good lately with us and I want to end it but I don't want it to end up like the situation that caused Misty and I to break up the first time."

"Yeah but you're cheating with Misty. Who do you want to be with?"

"Misty"

"Well then do the right thing August. I'm not saving you if you mess up this time. My granddaughter's emotions isn't a game."

"I know it isn't and I don't mean to put her in this situation and to make shit worse, my girl is here with me. She decided to come along for the shower tomorrow."

"I'm done with you." She fanned her hand off at me. " Just know she isn't the same timid, shy Misty she was when you first met her."

Leaving me standing there, Misty came back and we left.

"Are you okay?" She asked me.

"I am babe." I lied a bit.

"Are you sure? Because if you are tired, we don't need to go out. I don't mind staying in and just relaxing."

"Yeah?"

"Yes Aug. I'm not going to force you to go out if you're tired."

"Aight well, you down for pizza and movie at your place?"

"I love nothing better." She smiled.

"Thank ya baybeh."

"You're welcome and next time just tell me something. We've never kept anything from each other so I don't want to start now."

"I understand." I glanced at her as I made the turn around.

Honestly I was tired. With this whole situation I put myself in, just thinking about how I was going to get out of it was draining me.

"You wanna cook for me to make up for this instead of the pizza?" She smirked.

"You remembered what happened the last time I cooked for you?"

"Yes, and your point is?"

"Don't get hurt lah baybeh." I laughed. "But we can make the pizza from scratch if ya want."

"I want." She nodded.

"Well, whatever Misty wants, Misty gets."

"Still to this day apparently." She smiled at me.

Misty

"We can't keep letting this happen."

Exhaling tiredly, I rolled off him and laid back on my bed.

"I know but I can't help it. I just can't resist you." He faced me.

Turning on his side, he was just there staring at me.

"I can't either but this will complicate what we are trying to rebuild."

"So what you want to do?"

"I want us to get serious and not give into temptation."

"Even if you're the one who initiate it." He pecked my lips.

"Yes. Even if I am. I think I act like this because its been a while since I've had this type of affection."

"How much is a while?"

"Um, four years a while." I tried to avoid eye contact.

"Misty yeen messed with anyone since we broke up."

"No I haven't because I wanted to focus on school and was still working through what we went through and understand I don't expect you to say its the same with you because you're different from me."

"Its kind of the same for me actually."

"Really? How so?"

"Not saying that I've fucked with a lot of females within the last four years, but the few girls I've messed with, didn't really satisfy me the way you do."

"Oh wow."

"Yeah and I think that's why I can't help but be with you now. I just miss us, you know."

"I know. I missed us too and being around you now made it known more."

Wrapping his arm around me, I shifted closer into him. Taking a deep breath, I just exhaled and relaxed right there. That feeling of security and calm instantly filled me like it once did four years ago.
