Chapter 31

August

"You called your aunt babe?"

Glancing over at Misty, she stared out the window.

"Baybeh?" I tapped her thigh.

"Huh? What did you say?"

"I asked if you had spoken to your aunt. Are you okay?"

"Oh, yeah I spoke to her and I'm fine."

"Are you sure?"

"Mhmm." She nodded and went back to looking out the window.

We were on our way to my mother's house for a family gathering and to say things been good with us would be a lie.

Since Morgan came out and said she was pregnant, I spoke to my lawyer and they organized a meeting for us along with a paternity test.

Misty hasn't said much on the matter nor have we been able to sit and discuss anything. She knew about the test to be done but we've both been busy with work.

"I got something planned for us tonight." I smiled and pinched her cheek.

"That's nice." She gave a small smile.

Sighing, I just refocused on driving. Things were too tense at the moment that the last thing I wanted to do was intensify it.

As we continued driving in silence, my phone began to ring, seeing my mother's name, I sighed and answered it.

"Wassup momma?"

"Just checking to see if y'all got here?"

"We did. We're on our way to your place now. Everyone there?"

"Yeah everyone is but we're at Chandra's."

"Aight well we'll swing by the house and then come there."

"Okay, that's fine."

Ending the call, I glanced at Misty before holding her hand. Looking over at me, she smiled lightly.

"I got you some yogurt." I entered my room same time she came out the bathroom.

"Thanks."

Getting the lotion, I took it from her to assist.

"What are you doing?"

"I'll get this for you. Go ahead and eat."

"It's okay Aug. I can do it."

"I know but ya know I like doing this for you." I smiled.

Not saying anything, she sat on the bed and ate while I massaged her legs while applying the lotion.

"What is it you had planned for us later?"

"Its a surprise." I looked up at her and smiled.

"Babe?"

"Trust me." I kissed her once I was finished.

"Fine."

Packing away, I went and got showered and changed while she got dressed.

"You look good ma." I smirked.

"Really August?" She straight faced me.

"Of course. Because you look good in everything."

"Aug, its a top with your face on it."

"And? Aint nothing wrong with showing off ya man."

"If I'm walking with you, yes. It looks weird."
