My phone rang for the third time in the last hour and again, I declined it. My mom has been trying to contact me since she would've seen the who media ordeal with me but I haven't had the heart to talk with her. I know I've disappointed her and I have done for some time now, not going back to visit her being that sole reason. I shoved my phone into my purse and turned my attention back to the views of the streets of New Orleans passing by. This whole time we've been here, I've been laying low and staying within the four walls of August's mother's house. Today however he managed to get me to come out on a drive with him to look at a new house. 

Oh, you may be wondering how me and his mom are getting along...we are getting along great. She's an amazing woman and now that we've started over, I can see she and I becoming really close. She's even started forming this adorable little bond with my son who is actually back at the house with her - I didn't want to bring him out with me just in case. August made sure his entire security team was with us but I still do not want a repeat of last time. 

As for August, he has been making a tremendous effort too. He's been helping me out with Loyal even though I keep telling him that I can handle it - even when I known damn well I can't, especially with this growing belly. He's made an effort with me too and taken the time to get to know me. 

It didn't take us much longer before we pulled up to a beautiful house. The gardens were well kept, neat and pristine. The house itself was enormous but it had the homey feel by just looking at it. August got out of the car and walked around to help me out. His security were all lined up behind us, six bulky dudes altogether, and then of course we had Big T in the back of our own car. A man dressed in an expensive looking suit approached us and extended his hand out to August who shook it firmly.

"It's great to finally meet you Mr Alsina."

"You too." August replied. "This is Everly."

The man then extended his hand to me. "It's nice to meet you too Miss Everly. I am Derrick Ross."

"Nice to meet you."

"So, shall we look around this place?"

August nodded. "Lead the way."

If I thought the outside of the place was incredible, the inside was even more astounding. There were six bedrooms in total and all of them were enormous and had en-suits which I thought was cool. There were two study or office spaces, both were decently sized. Two normal bathrooms, one upstairs and one downstairs. A spacious kitchen that had four ovens and this connected to an amazing dining room. Connected to the dining room by French doors was the living room which was about the size of my apartment. It was gorgeous. 

The final thing that Derrick showed us was the backyard. It was spacious as hell and everything was well kept and neat. There was a pool which was fenced off, as well as a spa which was fenced off as well so definitely child friendly. There were trees all over and flower gardens.
