Mikaela
I took a deep sigh as the cool air finally surrounded me outside the courthouse.
"I'm gon' bring da car round," August said to me before he left Dawn and I alone.
"Miky girl, I'm sorry. I would never think that text message would've sent the hoe overboard," Dawn said regrettably.
I shook my head, " Nobody wouldve thought so D. Don't worry about it,"
"Nah. This is all my fault. I can't let you take the fall for my shit," she said back
"I think it's a little too late for that," I replied as my words sunk in.
I looked ahead to see August talking to our lawyer Megan. I was about to go over there but Dawn interrupted me
"Wayment. That day Hoelena sent that voicemail, weren't we at Bath & Body?" Dawn asked thoughtfully
I thought back for a few seconds, " Bed Bath & Beyond actually. Remember you wanted to get a new mattress so I went with you,"
"Yeah. I'm thinking don't they have cameras there? " She looked at me as if trying to recall
"They should,"
"Exactly. Prolly we could get the security tapes that show that I sent that text message and not you. Maybe it could get this entire case thrown out," she finished off
"Oh my god! Youre right," I said getting a little excited...but then it hit me.
"Dawn, you do know that could implicate you though. I mean her family could come after you, and what about Q?" I said becoming worried.
She fanned me off, " so? You got Brie. Besides all my family been to jail before except me, might be bout that time I stepped up to da plate. I got to live up to the Sherwood name"
She said this then smiled as I chuckled at how silly she still was even in all this seriousness.
"You don't deserve to take da fall for my shit. I got ya back," she said as she pulled me into a hug.
"Thanks D, " I said while in her embrace.
"Aight time is of the essence so go tell Aug you're riding with me...to bed, bath, infinity and beyond! " She said as I sped walked towards the now approaching vehicle Aug was in.....

"Whatchu got thea?" I narrowed ma eyes playfully at Brie as she strolled past me in da living room
"Nothin," she smiled wit both hands behind ha back
"Nothin' ay? Then can I see ya hands?" I asked
She swayed from side to side befo stuffin' something in her mouth quickly, then openin up her palms to me.
"Come over hea' " I said as she strolled up towards me.
I inspected her hands befo lookin' away, then tickling her befo she even knew what hit her.
"Stop da...ddy! Stoppp!" She said inbetween uncontrollable laughter.
"You got a mint in ya mouth," I said realising she had taken it from her mama's stash in her office.
She nodded, " I ate two"
She said but holdin up 6 fingersI laughed at her. " aight. No mo' fa ya today ok little mint-head?"
She chuckled softly with her cheek full, " ok daddy"
She ran off ta Whea her toys were as I went back to ma thoughts, but not fa long. A knock at da door came thru bout a minute later.
