More than Friends

1

"Aug please" I giggle. August is such a big baby, he just wants to play all day and night. "I'm going to pee on myself"

Currently he was chasing me throughout my house with a water gun. My hair was already soaked and I had no way of defending myself "you know what you have to do for this to all be over"

His face held his signature smile because he knew I wasn't about to say it "fuck off" I placed my hands on my waist and he shot the gun making me squeal "you the boss August! Damn"

He sat the gun down and I watched his every move. He must not know me as well as he claim. "Ace, do you have to use the bathroom"

"He's a dog! He's not going to talk to you" August isn't too smart.  I be having to remind him of basic things sometimes

"Ariana he does talk! When he was over my house he told me he was hungry. Tell your mama you can talk" I only laughed in response "and before you ask, yes"

"See! Stay away from that weed" he sent me an innocent smile

"I be right back" August grabbed Ace's dog leash and collar before they walked out the door together

August and I have been best friends since the 7th grade and now here we are at the age of twenty five still going strong. I honestly don't see my life without him. He right my wrongs and just tell me when I'm honestly wrong. I really love that.

My phone started ringing and I walked over to the living room table Sheila. I think twice before I accepted the call "hey ma"

"Hey baby, how are you" I smiled listening to her accent. I could listen to these Nola accents all day.

"I'm good, how are you" I ask

"Just wondering when you and my son are coming to see this old lady" I twisted my lips

"August and I are both off next weekend" she started laughing "what"

"You know that man's schedule" I shook my hand knowing what she was about to imply "we know that you guys are made for each other. I'm not sure how y'all don't know that"

It's strictly platonic. I understand everybody wants it to be more but we're not even close to becoming more. The friendship is way too important for us to ruin it. We're content. Plus we don't see each other like that "y'all assume that because y'all don't think an attractive man and an attractive woman can just be friends"

"Oh you think he's attractive" smacking my lips I debated on ending the call. Anyone with eyes can see how attractive August is. "Anyways, when are y'all going to come see me"

"I'm thinking next weekend but I have to ask August" I didn't want to plan his weekend. He hates when I do that.

"I'm sure if you're free then he's free" I rolled my eyes

"He has a life outside of me" sadly. I hate when August goes to work and I absolutely hate when he hangs out with his other friends. He just m needs me and me only. I can go to the strip club, smoke, shop, or whatever he want to do "as soon as he comes in then I'm going to ask. He just went to walk Ace"

"Y'all still have that dog? I've never heard of friend raising a dog together" again I rolled my eyes

"Well we're best friends not just friends" I correct.
