I hope August will be on time like he promised he'd be. I picked out a pencil skirt and and white button down shirt with black stilettos. I combed my hair into a tight bun. I put a stick of gum in my mouth and chewed as I walked around the house. I grabbed my purse, keys and phone and headed downstairs.

To August: You still coming right

From August: yea I need ya address

To August: 45 vine road

To August: I live down the street from there.

To August: Good you'll get here faster.

I waited five minutes for him to come. Beep beep! That was quick. I smiled, grabbing my keys and other things and headed out the door.

"That was quick."

"Lemme take ya fa' breakfast befo' ya go ta work."

"Um sure. I mean I don't have to be to work until 8." I looked at my watch. He smiled and backed out my driveway.

We pulled up in a McDonald's drive thru. "What ya want?"

"Um sausage and biscuit and a hash brown."

"Lemme get a sausage and biscuit wit' a hash brown and a sausage egg and cheese sandwich with two orange juices."

"Your total is $7.50. Please pull up to the next window."

"Here you go. This is for my food." I handed him a five dollar bill.

"Nah I'm payin'." He opened the armrest, revealing, I'm guessing, thousands of dollars. Who the hell keeps hundreds in their armrest in the car?

"Here's your change. Have a nice day." The lady smiled at us. He pulled off and started doing the speed limit down the street.

"Thanks for the breakfast August. I'll pay you back."

"Ya ain't gotta do dat. It was my pleasure."

I chuckled. "Well I'll see you later."

"Call me on ya lunch break."

"Kay."
