Adopted by August Alsina

Chapter 19

Kimberly POV

I woke up rubbing my eyes before getting out of the bed carefully trying not to step on Anaya. I walked into my bathroom pulling my hair into a pony-tail before washing my teeth and washing my face. I walked back into my room seeing MeMe sprawled out now. I laughed a little and headed downstairs to the little space August has.

I walked in there closing the door behind me carrying my songbook with me while sitting down, thinking of some lyrics. Instantly Jalen came into my mind.. I shook my head trying to focus but every-time I tried to think of words he kept coming to mind, and honestly it helped. I started jotting down words.

I gotta thang for you baby you know
Don't wanna take it slow
I wanna get to know ya
Don't wanna play no games, listen to what
I'm saying
I gotta thang for you
(For you)

I gotta thang for you baby you know
Don't wanna take it slow
I wanna get to know ya
Don't wanna play no games, listen to what
I'm saying
I gotta thang for you,
Baby you know

I finished writing thinking how Jalen was taken a toll on me and he probably doesn't even know it. I hope Anaya doesn't find it weird that I'm writing a song about her brother.. But she seem pretty good with MeMe and Marcus, hopefully Kimberly and Jalen.

I went on to the computer that August had in the room, I looked up beats that seemed to go with my lyrics, after 15 minutes I found a beat that sounded good to my words. I began to sing along with the music and started writing more as I went, I was about to start singing again when I heard clapping from behind me and I turned around to see Anaya and MeMe.

"That sounds good, how long have you been working on it?" MeMe asked me sitting down and grabbing my notebook.

"Oh umm.. just started earlier today while ya'll were sleep." I said trying to get my notebook back from Anaya who had it now.

"Well we know who's it about." Anaya said giving me back my notebook. I just looked down and acted like I was writing.

"No need to be acting shy now, he likes you too; but I wouldn't get to involved yet until I know for sure he's done with Destiny ass." She said looking down at her phone.

"Who's Destiny?" MeMe asked, I had forgot that she didn't go to the party with us.

"I don't know all the details but when I had left Jalen for a quick second a girl was sitting on his lap." I said messing with my fingers.

"That's Destiny ratchet ass, she played with my brother feelings; and I feel like he falling right back into her little trip." Anaya said looking annoyed. "I should of thrown a brick at her ass when I had a chance." Anaya mumbled but MeMe and I heard her and MeMe scooted closer to me. I laughed shaking my head.

"Oh." I replied not knowing exactly what to say, Anaya looked up sensing my quick dry tone before trying to make the situation better.

"He might not fall for it again, but then you never know." She said shrugging and looking back at her phone, MeMe started laughing looking towards Anaya.

"Your not exactly the best person to get sympathy from are ya?" MeMe asked. Anaya just smiled and went back to her phone.

"Well, I really don't wanna be stuck in the house today since it is Sunday.. So let's do something, just us." I said getting up and stretching. They nodded and we walked back to my room, ignoring August who was in the kitchen and had Erica pinned up to the counter.

"Aye, we could go play tennis." MeMe suggested, I didn't really care but Anaya looked over towards MeMe like she was the craziest person in the world.
