Love Life (Sequel to Thug Life)

I rubbed my left shoulder and stretched; since my back was killing me. I didn't have classes today since my calculus teacher canceled but he still gave us work. I finished that but I still had to make a couple of corrections to the schedule for American literature class and finish the assignment. It was a lot but I wasn't complaining. I had to plan her curriculum for the next class section which was pretty tough because of the options she gave me. I didn't know if after the mid term; which was at the end of the week might I add; she should go into African America music or family history. If I did either or I would have to go through the sections of the book and plan out the next activity for her.

Sighing I stood from the kitchen table and grabbed a water from the fridge. When I closed it I heard something fall. Looking into the living where August was sleeping I peaked over to him stretching which means I woke him up. He got up wiping his eyes and went straight to the bathroom. I kinda felt bad because I hated when people woke me up out of my sleep so I know the feeling.  He walked back into the kitchen and looked over at me.

"Why you up so early? You Ight?" He asked with the most craziest expression. When he wakes up in the morning he is the most confused person ever, I'm surprised he is even talking right now. It takes him a minute to fully wake up sometimes.

"Yeah I'm just doing work" I said looking over the computer. He went into the fridge as I stared at my computer. I really couldn't decide which one.

"What you working on?" I looked behind me and seen him hovering over my shoulder with a jug of milk in his hand.

"I know you are not gonna drink out of that?" I said and he looked at it.

"Now I ain't" shaking my head I turned my attention back on my work. Grabbing my notebook I wrote down a few notes to help me decide.

"What you doing on there? That shit look like a lot"  he queried pouring a glass of milk.

"Uh just trying to map out the criteria for my AA literature class"

"Ain't that the teacher job?" He said sitting across from me.

"It's mine now. I'm a TA"

"Teachers Aid?" I nodded while taking a few notes.

"That's good as hell Ma Ma why you ain't tell me?" He smiled at me.

"It slipped my mind" I shrugged softly as he nodded. It was silent for a few minutes while I texted Jamel.

Jamel🫶🏾: Ayo wassup with you?

What you mean?

"What time you gotta go to class?" Aug asked.

Jamel🫶🏾: stop playin. what's up with you and Diamonté ?

I sat my phone down not really wanting to think about that right now nor tell him that his sister was August late night hook ups since we've been back from Brooklyn.

"Uh I don't have classes today"

"Ight um you got anything planned" he asked leaving over the counter. I looked up at him and closed my computer. Folding my arms, I shook my head.

"No why?" He softly shrugged and went to the kitchen sink.

"So I was just thinking you could come to my therapy session with me later on today" he said rubbing the back of his neck. I squinted my eyes at him as he leaned on the sink.

"A therapy session" I queried and he nodded. " You want me to come support you or something?"

"I mean I made the appointment for us"
