The Next Morning

August's Pov

I woke up on da' concrete, with sweat drippin' down my face. It's hot as hell outchea'. I saw a lady walk into walmart with a kid in a shoppin' cart. She set a nigguh's mind back to yesta'day when dat' girl tried to help meh out. I think i was bein' a lil rude, but i kno' what dey' want from meh.

Momma kicked me out da' house about a yea' ago. I was 19, tryna bring home some money to feed my family. One day, a nigguh came home wit' stacks and my momma kept askin' me questions. She knew i didn't work. I don't know how da' fuck she found out, but kicked my ass out the house because i was sellin' dope. Havn't talked to my momma since den. I hate thinkin back to dat shit.

But forreal, i'm hot as fuck outchea.

Autumn's Pov

I woke up nice and early today, going straight to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth, and looked in the mirror while i rinsed my mouth. I thought about the guy from yesterday sitting outside Walmart. I wonder if he'll still be there... With that thought, i hopped in the shower.

About 10 minutes later, i got out and put on (Outfit in MM). I walked downstairs, and straight out the door, forgetting all about breakfast. I took the same uncomfortable route to Walmart. There he was. He was sitting outside Walmart, as he was yesterday. I slowly walked over to him, and tapped his shoulder. "Hi um..." I said traveling off, because i didn't know his name. "August." He mumbled. Hey, his name sounded like mines.

"You okay?" I asked, sitting next to him. He looked at me as if i was crazy. "Who da' fuck are you?" I twisted my lips. "Umm, my name is Autumn. Remember me from yesterday?" I asked, trying to make some progress. He eyebrows raised. "Oh, you." He looked in the opposite direction of me.

"Look....August, I know i'm a stranger, but i can help you! Please, let me help you. I don't want what you think i want. I just want to help you. Thats it." I pleaded. He shook his head and chuckled. "You a la' persistent i see." He nodded slowly, poking his cheek with his tongue. He stood up, and i swear i heard some bones crack. Dang, he been sitting down for that long? Where does he pee? But, i was still confused of why he stood up. "Les go." He said, standing straight. "Umm..where are we going?" I was beyond confused. "You said you wanted ta' help meh"

I stood up, nodding, and was about to hold his hand, because that's what i usually do when im showing someone the way, but after our hands touched, i pulled my hand back quickly, and started walking. "Come on." I made a hand motion, signalling him to follow me. He chuckled, probably because of that little scene, and started following me. As he walked beside me, he looked down on me, and started chuckling alot. I scrunched my face up, and turned the corner.

"What's so funny?" I asked. walking up to my door, and unlocking it. "What's ya' height?" He asked, walking in behind me.

My face went beyond flat, as i closed the door, locking it behind me. "Aye, don't worry about that. You can get comfortable August. The guest room is just down the hall." I said, walking to my room, and sitting on the bed, turning on my saved episodes of Empire.

Autumn is a la' bad thing. I couldn't help but stare as she walked to her room. I could just squeez th-

I snapped out of my thoughts quickly shaking my head. Focus Aug. Your just here temporary.

I plopped on da' couch, took my shoes off, and sat my feet on the table. She said get comfortable. I grabbed da' remote and saw some saved episodes of Empire, so i watched some.

I closed my door, took off my clothes, and put on my pajama shorts, and my wife beater. My stomach growled in the process. "Ughh." I sucked my teeth, and opened my door, walking past the living room, into the kitchen.

Hold up, wait a minute.

I back-tracked into the living room, and saw August all comfortable and shit. He was taking a nap on the couch, sitting up with his feet on the table. Aww, but why does this shiggaboo have his feet on my table? I walked over to him, and tapped his should lightly. He didn't move. I just heard his light snores.

I tried moving him to a comfortable position on the couch. lawd, i need to work out. This is gonna take a minute. I struggled as i moved his feet on the couch. Then, i got on the couch, and lightly slided his body onto the couch, so he wouldnt wake up. Fail. He woke up and looked at me with his tired eyes. "August?" I asked. He raised one eyebrow. "You can go back to sleep, sorry. I was trying to make your nap comfortable." I said.

He nodded, and stretched, getting comfortable again. "You hungry?" I asked. He shook his head. "Okay, i'll be in my room if you need anything." He nodded, and waved me off so he could go to sleep. I chuckled and walked back into my room. I got comfortable myself and ended up falling asleep.
