Personal Stylist

Chapter 22

August's P.O.V:

So it was a good day. I surprised Gia with breakfast at her place and I told her I was in love with her. And ... A nigga finally cuffed her. I'm happy as hell she said yes. I know what y'all thinking. Why did I cuff her right after I broke up with Asia? Cause when you know someone's the one, you don't care about anything else You just wanna be with them as soon as possible .I been feeling like this about her for a while. I just ain't wanna tell her cause Asia was in the way of that and I didn't think she was interested in me. Anyway, after my photoshoot, which was over around 4:30,I was leaving the bathroom when someone jumped on my back. I smelt the sweet Chanel perfume and I knew it was Gia. "Heyy bae."She said. "You know, you lucky you not heavy."I said. She giggled and got off my back. Then she wrapped her arms around my neck .I grabbed her waist and kissed her forehead. "You going home now or nah ?" I asked her. "Yeah,why?" She said. "I wanted to take you out tonight ,"I said. "Where ?" She asked me. "Anywhere you want." I said. "Well, I have a dress that I haven't worn yet. So let's go somewhere special."Gia says to me,grabbing my hand. We walk outside. "And where would that be ?" I said. I decided to walk Gia to her car.
"Let's go to that restaurant you took me to the other night."She said,leaning against her jeep. "You like that place ?" I asked Gia. She smiled at me. "Yeah, I like their breadsticks."She said. I laughed at her. "You are something else."I said,moving closer toward my girlfriend. "I'll pick you up at 7:00. So be ready,aight ?" I said. "Okay." She said. "Gimme kiss." I said. Gia leaned in and we shared a passionate kiss. "Aight babe. Be careful driving home." I said,starting to walk away. "I will bae . " She said. I walked to my car. Once my car was unlocked, I got in and started the engine I looked out the window and saw Gia's cute ass riding by in her black Jeep Wrangler. She saw me and blew me a kiss. I pretended to catch it and winked at her. She giggled and drove off . I couldn't stop smiling. "That girl makes me so damn happy." I said to myself .
My phone rang and I checked the caller ID. My boy Chris was calling me. I never really answered my phone while I was driving. Unless it was my momma and nieces . Or Gia. But Chris is my boy,so I answered but put it on speaker so that I could focus on the road.
"Wassup mane ?" I said. "Ayo, guess who I just ran into at the fucking gas station ?"Chris says to me. "I don't even wanna know , brah." I said. Chris laughed in the other end if the phone. "You probably right. But I'm gonna tell you anyway."He said. I sucked my teeth. "Who you see ?" I asked, even though I already had an idea of who he was talking about. "Asia thot ass. And you'll never guess who her new nigga is."My homie said. I rolled my eyes "Probably someone I introduced her to a year ago." I said. "Yeah that Raheem nigga. Light skin ass nigga with the hazel eyes ."Chris said. "Damn, you pay attention to that nigga eye color ?" I joked. We both laughed. "Nah, but they the first thing you notice when you look at him."Chris says. "True. But damn that's the nigga I caught her in bed with Huh ?"I asked. "How you not know who he was ?" He asked me . "I don't know mane. I was so damn mad that I wasn't even paying attention. All I saw was red and I punched that nigga in the face."I said. "Damn,well don't even sweat it That's the least of your worries ."Chris told me. "Yeah you right. I don't even know why I'm tripping. I got a new girl anyway."I said. "Word ? Who ?" He asked.
"Really nigga ?" I said. "Ohhhh , You finally cuffed Gia ?"Chris asked me.
"Yeah, nigga I did."I said. "That's what I'm talking about yo. I really like her. She's good for you. Keep her."Chris said. I laughed. "That's funny because my momma said the same thing the last time I was in New Orleans." I said. For real. My mother couldn't stand Asia. "Ya momma got good taste in women."Chris says. "Well she said Gia's the one I should've been with." I confessed. And then I finally pulled up to my crib. "Well, she was right."Chris said to me. I turned off my car and took the key out of the ignition. "I like Ya mother,Aug." Chris says. I got out of the car and pressed the button on my key to lock my Rover. I walked up the walk way of my mansion. "You stupid, brah." I said to him. "I'm for real ,though. She the real MVP. Ain't she the one who told you Asia was a hoe ?" Chris asked. "She ain't say those exact words. But yeah,that's basically what she said. I should've known."I said. "Mhmmmm. Mama knows best."Chris said. "Nigga, shut up." I said. When I got inside my house, I locked my door and went up to my bedroom. "So what you doing tonight ?" Chris asked me. "Well, to celebrate us finally bring a couple I'm taking Shawty to a fancy Italian restaurant." I said. "Aww shit. I see you, man."Chris said. I smiled. "I just wanna take her out. You know ? This gonna be our first outing as a couple." I said. "That's wassup."Chris said. I sat on my bed and took off my shoes. "I'm about to take a shower and get ready."I said. "Aight. Hit me later."Chris says. "Aight. Bet."I said. "Peace."He says. "Later."I said. And then I hung up the phone. I put my phone on the bed and thought about the night ahead.
