No Love

Chapter 20

August POV

"Where you going Uncle Aug? Can I go," Kayden asked as she walked up behind me as I unlocked da do'.

"I'll be right back. Go in my room and find a movie you wanna watch and we'll watch it when I get back."

"Ok," She smiled waving her hand in a come here motion.

"Wassup," I asked squatting down to her level.

She flung her arms around my neck. "I love you." She said placing a wet kiss on my cheek.

"I love you too, baby," I laughed as she jetted outta the room.

I left out, making sure I locked the door behind myself.

I called Alijah as I started the car but she didn't answer. Not like I expected her to but it was worth a try.

Her car was still at my crib so I know she extra heated if she ain't come back for her 'baby'.

If I would've told Taz, 'labout what that hoe ass niece of his was tryna do, before I fucked her, none of this shit would be happening. The fact that I had no idea of whether she had proof or not, didn't cross my mind until I spoke with him about her.

He said he was gonna get her in line, but apparently that didn't work if she still fucking with a nigga.

Even though it had only been four hours since Alijah damn near knocked the breath from my trachea, I missed her something tough. I was feeling even worse because I knew I had hurt her feelings.

I know what I did was waaayy outta line but she ain't even let a nigga explain.

I pulled in their driveway and parked behind Lena's car.

No lie, I feel anxious about her pops being here. Either he gone help her kill me or calm her crazy ass down when she go ape shit.

I knocked on the door and stepped back waiting for somebody to open it.

The door swung open, reavealing Kensie.

"Hey. Alijah with you," she asked, stepping back as I entered the house.

"No, I thought one of y'all picked her up."

"Lena was supposed to pick her up since Pops was at the office but she texted her saying that a friend was gonna bring her home. That was about three hours ago and she still isn't here."

"Who?" I asked as I followed her to the living room.

"Who, what?"

"What friend?"

"I have no idea."

"Is Alijah with you, August?" Tina asked as soon as I stepped in the room.

"Nope." Kensie answered for me as she sighed, flopping down on the couch.

"Wasn't she with you?"

"Yes ma'am, but we kinda had a um, altercation while we was out and she left." I pushed my hands in my pockets.

"Boy sit down, stop acting like you don't know us," Shawn spoke up.

I sat beside Kensie and pulled out my phone and shot Chris a text, asking where he was.

Him, Jaden and Lyric da only friends of Alijah that I knew of. Everybody else she fuck with is family.

"What about Erica and Justin, y'all checked with them," I asked.

She had once talked about getting to know them better and having a better relationship with them since she knew why everything, with not being raised by her biological parents, went down how it did.
