8:30am

I woke up to my alarm clock going off. I couldn't sleep last night at all. This guilt was taking me over the edge and I didn't know what to do. I looked around the room and I didn't see August. I got up and  let my feet touch the cold tiger wood floors. My body instantly relaxed from the fresh of coldness I was feeling below my feet.  I went to the bathroom and washed my face and brushed my teeth. I stripped and looked over my body, I sighed and stepped in the shower.

I heard music coming from downstairs. I quickly got dressed to make sure Melody didn't wake up. I went into her room and didn't see her but I heard her laughing downstairs. As I walked down the stairs i seen Aug and Melody in the kitchen.

"That's good ain't it?" Aug said smiling at Mel in her high a chair. I walked in further and he put down her spoon and turned the music down.

"My bad ma ma did I wake you up?"

I shook my head and sat down at the table.

"No you didn't. How long have y'all been up?"

"Not that long" he shrugged and sat a plate in front of me filled with waffles, cheesy grits with bacon and eggs.

"Thanks babe" he leaned over the counter and kissed my lips.

"No problem" 

I took a spoon full of grits and immediately closed my eyes and sunk into the chair.

"It's good" he chucked while I nodded not wanting to open my mouth.

"I missed your cooking"

"And I missed cookin for ya"  I felt him burning me with his eyes.

"You good?" He asked wiping off his hands.

"Yeah"

"Don't lie to me" I sighed and slowly looked up at him."I know you still having nightmares" I bit down on my lip not realizing he noticed.

" and I'm not gonna force you to tell me, but I want you to know that I'm here now. You can tell me anything Ight?" He said and I nodded.

"Okay"

"Ight ma ma"

I watched him walk over to Mel and started playing with her and I smiled at the sight. I'm glad he's finally home to see our little girl grow. My thoughts got interrupted when I noticed his chest.

"What happened?" I asked and he looked down.

"Nothin just a little scar from a end table" he shrugged and I got up and walked over to him and looked at it.

He sighed  "Ma ma"

"No let me see" I moved his hand and looked over it. I softly glided my finger down the stitched wound and felt his stomach tense up.

"It's still raw" I looked up at him. "I know it wasn't a table that did this. It look like you stitched it up yourself" I said sarcastically.

I looked at the time and seen i was about to be late for my first class. "I'll deal with it when I get back"

I grabbed my book bag and took the last bite of my waffle and kissed Mel head.

"See you" I waved

"Whoa no love for daddy Aug? " he joked and I playful rolled my eyes.

I walked up to him and kissed his lips then walked away but he pulled me back by my waist and kissed me deeply. I missed his lips so much. He pulled my face up more by my chin, softly entering his tongue in my mouth. He reached down and squeezed my left butt cheek while he brought my body closer to his making me feel his member through his shorts, without breaking the kiss.
