I held the phone down and looked at August
Lexi: You mind
August: We can go
I put the phone back to my ear
Lexi: Ok we'll be there soon
Lisa: Ok baby
We hung up and headed towards the airport. About a hour later we pulled up to the front entrance of the airport. I called and let her know we were here. Me and August stood outside and leaned against the car waiting
August: This ya mama sister
Lexi: You can say.. they been friends since my dad and her husband worked at the same warehouse and after he passed away they were there for us like family
August: So she just be poppin up on y'all
I laughed
Lexi: Basically but mama probably called her
August: Why you say that
Lexi: She usually does when she feel she can't deal with me or Dj
He laughed
August: Damn
Lexi: Whats surprising is uncle Robert isn't with her
She came out the door and August grabbed her bag
Lisa: Hey Lexi baby
We hugged
Lexi: Hey auntie where is uncle Robert
Lisa: He's comin tomorrow he had to work
Lexi: Always
She laughed
Lisa: You know
August put her bag in the trunk and we got in the car
Lexi: Aunt Lisa this is August my boyfriend
She smiled
Lisa: So you're the one that's been causing trouble
He kinda frowned and turned red
Lexi: No it's not his fault it's Dj
Lisa: Well at any rate it's nice to meet you
He smiled
August: Same to you
Lisa: Ok take me to my sister
I turned to look at her
Lexi: You not goin to a hotel
Lisa: No child please
Lexi: Dj don't want us at...
Lisa: Girl bye I don't care about you and Dj feuds you better take me to my sister
I sighed and turned back around. August pulled off and we headed to Dj's crib. When we pulled in the driveway his truck was gone
Lexi: He might be at work
Lisa: This a nice house what kinda work he do
Lexi: Warehouse I think
Lisa: Mhmm
My mama came out the door
Janet: Lisa girl is that you
My auntie got out the car
Lisa: In the flesh girl
I laughed
Lexi: These old people
August laughed at me
August: Leave them alone
We got out and Aug grabbed my auntie's bag then we went in. It felt like uncharted territory type shit. The cold air hit my arms and gave me chill bumps
Janet: You cold
Lexi: A little but I'm fine
We hugged and she kissed my cheek
Janet: Lisa you and Robert gone sleep in the other guess room
Lisa: Ok
Janet: Y'all come on and sit down
August looked at me funny
Lexi: Uh August has to go to the studio tonight
Janet: Aw why don't you stay and August can come get you later
Lexi: Mama I..
Someone knocked on the door
Janet: Who is it
Tati: Its me ma
She opened the door and they hugged
Lexi: We bout to leave I love you mama
I gave her a kiss
August: Bye mama... Mrs. Lisa nice meeting you
Lisa: Same here August
We left out and Tati came behind us.
Tati: Wait Lexi
August stood by the car and I stopped then let out a deep breath and turned around. My mama and aunt was standing at the door on the porch
Lexi: What Tati
Tati: I'm sorry Lexi
Lexi: And
Tati: Opening my mouth was one the stupidest things I could've done and I'm sorry
August laughed and got in the car.
Tati: I kno he'll probably never care for me but I miss my bestfriend
I can't lie I missed her too
Lexi: Tati ion know...
She hugged me
Tati: Don't shut me out
I sighed she let me go and stepped back
Lexi: Alright Ti
She smiled
Tati: I kno it's not gonna back to the way things used to be but we should have lunch tomorrow catch up..
My auntie came over to us
Lisa: Um not tomorrow guys we wanted have a early lunch with you Lexi well me, your mom and your uncle of course
Lexi: Ok that's cool auntie and Tati we'll come up with somethin
Janet: Oh can you pick your uncle up from the airport tomorrow morning
Lexi: Why Dj can't...
My aunt gave me a evil eye
Lexi: What time
Janet: Be there by 9
Lisa: Yea and after you get him come to the Ruby Tuesdays by the house
Lexi: Ok I'll see y'all tomorrow
I gave all three of them a hug and got in the car.
August: You got yo friend back
I laughed
Lexi: Shut up and drive
We drove off and he dropped me off at his place, because I'm stayin with him over my break, then he went to the studio. I ate some leftovers that we had from the other night. I took a shower then sat up in his bed watching tv trying to stay up and wait for him but I ended up falling asleep. I woke up to kisses being placed on me.
Lexi: Mhm August what are you doin
August: You better get up before you late gettin to yo uncle
I jumped up
Lexi: What time is it
He laughed while he was watching me run around like a wild person. He stepped in front of me
August: Its 7:30 you got time baby
He laughed again
Lexi: Ugh why'd you wake me up
I sat down on the bed trying to fully wake up. August walked in the bathroom then came out shirtless
August: I thought you needed an alarm
I threw a pillow at him. He laughed and blocked it
Lexi: Why you just now gettin here
August: We had to run thru a few songs last night and go over some shit
Lexi: Oh
I laid back and felt August at my knees. I laughed
Lexi: What are you doin
He grabbed my shorts and pulled them down
August: Havin breakfast
He put my feet over his shoulders then got down on his knees. He kissed my inner thigh then used his lips to trail down to mine. He flicked his tongue against my clit and sucked it. I grip the sheets the faster he went. After he consumed all of me I got up to take a shower while he brushed his teeth and laid down. I got ready to go get my uncle and go to this brunch
August: How long you gonna be gone
He was laid on his back with his hands propped up under his head.
Lexi: Why you gone miss me
I climbed on top of him. He smirked at me then rubbed my thighs
August: That too
I got off him and laughed
Lexi: Is that all you think about Mr. Alsina
August: Naw I think about music
He got up and stood behind me as I put on my makeup
August: And you
He wrapped his long, lanky arms around my waist while I pinned up my hair
August: Damn we look good together
I smiled and kissed him.
Lexi: Yea we do
I felt a little lightheaded
August: You good baby
He turned me around to look into my eyes
Lexi: I'm good just hungry
He used his finger to lift my chin and really look into my eyes
August: I kno you lyin but ima drop it for now
I laughed
Lexi: You swear you kno me August
He went to lay on the bed
August: I do kno you
I shook my head and continued getting ready to leave. I stood over him while he laid down blockin his view from the tv
August: If yo fine ass don't move ima give a reason to be late
I laughed and kissed him adding a little tongue
Lexi: Ima see you later
He slapped my ass when I walked away
August: Bye beautiful
I smiled
Lexi: Bye daddy
After I left I headed to the airport. My uncle was standing outside waiting for me when I pulled up. I got out the car
Lexi: Am I late
Robert: Noo baby girl I just walked out here
Lexi: Good cuz Auntie would have my head
He laughed
Robert: Sounds like my wife
He tossed his bag in the backseat then pulled me into a hug
Robert: Come here baby girl how's things been goin
Lexi: They haven't told you
Robert: I wanna here it from you
We got in the car an headed towards the restaurant
Lexi: Long story short I'm with Dj's bestfriend and Dj don't want us to be
Robert: Oh ok
He sat back and didn't say anything else. I looked over at him
Lexi: Thats all you gone say
Robert: Yea for now
I got lightheaded and swerved a little. My uncle looked at me then put his hand on mine
Robert: Pull over girl
I pulled over and we switched sides.
Lexi: I'm fine really uncle Robert just hungry
Robert: Well we can get some food in you when we get to the restaurant... now how do I get there
I put on my gps and he drove off. Twenty minutes later we pulled into Ruby Tuesdays parking lot. It hadn't dawned on me til I walked into the restaurant and the hostess was showing us to our seats.
Lexi: How mama and auntie get here
He looked back at me but by then we were standing in font of mama, Lisa and Dj
Robert: Janet
She got up to hug him
Janet: You have aged not on minute Rob
He blushed
Robert: Don't start with those compliments
Lisa: Yes don't start
Lexi: Y'all not slick
Janet: Well what else we're we gonna do
Dj: Not this
He got up
Robert: Son sit down
Dj looked back at him then pushed pass me and walked out the restaurant. I ran after him and they followed me.
Lexi: Seriously Dj we can't even have lunch together
Dj: Nah
He was walkin to his truck so I ran and stood in front of him.
Lexi: Dj please I miss...
Dj: I don't give...
Robert: Watch ya mouth Dj
Janet: Y'all just let it out
Lexi: Are you really this pissed at me
Dj: Lexi move
Lexi: No talk to me Dj I...
Dj: You wanna talk
His voice projected thru the half empty parking lot
Lexi: Yes Dj... I just don't get it if anything you taught me how to protect myself from bullshit ass guys so why are you so hung up on August and what we...
Dj: Because you chose him over me
I stood silent for a min
Lexi: What Dj I would...
Dj: You would never but you did and that's it for me so I'm done
A tear fell down my face. I stood there speechless. He lightly pushed me aside and got in his truck then pulled off. They all looked at me then my mama put her arm around me
Janet: You tried baby girl come on
After I dropped them off at Dj's I went to August house. His nieces we're running around when I walked in. He came downstairs
August: Hey baby
Lexi: Hey
I gave off this soft but still hurt tone and he picked up in it
August: What happen
Lexi: I don't wanna talk about it August
August: Iight baby
Lexi: I am ima go lay down
He kissed my forehead and I went upstairs and laid in the bed. I focused on the ceiling and dozed off. I woke up to my phone ringing. I cleared my throat
Lexi: Hello
Lisa: Lexi you need to get to the hospital
I sat up
Lexi: What's wrong
Now that I was fully awake I thought I heard crying in the background
Lisa: Your mom baby she's in the hospital
Lexi: I'm on my way what hospital
Lisa: Emory
Lexi: Ok I'm comin
I hung up and jumped out the bed. August came in the room.
August: You ok
Lexi: I gotta get to the hospital

___________________________

August came with me to the hospital.
Lexi: I'm looking for Janet Wilson
Robert: Lexi
He waved us over
Lexi: What the doctor say
My uncle wiped the tears from my aunts eyes and held her
Lisa: He said the tumor has spreaded and she slipped into a deep sleep
Robert: He said we should say our goodbyes she doesn't have long
August rubbed my back
August: Ima sit out here go see her
Lisa: She's in room 337
He kissed my forehead and sat down next to Lisa. Amber was sitting a few chairs down from them
Lexi: Where Dj
Lisa: He's already in there
Robert: Yall gone be fine in there together
Lexi: I don't think Dj would cause a scene here
August and Amber looked at me. I guess remembering when he went off on Amber but I don't care. I walked down the hall which seem to take forever to get to her room. The door was cracked so I walked in.
Lexi: Dj
He looked up at me. His eyes were red and his face was swollen. He stood up walked over to me. He hovered over me for a good two minutes then embraced me.
Dj: I'm sorry Lexi
I could hear the crack in his voice. He was hurt and I didn't kno how to fix it
Lexi: I'm sorry too Dj
He let me go then walked back by mama bedside
Dj: With all the bullshit thats goin on first mama then Amber I..
I sat on the other side of her
Lexi: I never meant to hurt you Dj... I just really love August...
Dj: I kno Lex
My mom cleared her throat
Janet: Aside from it being my dying wish for y'all asses to stop arguing
She kinda laughed but I could tell it hurt her
Dj: You want somethin.. water, ice
Lexi: A nurse or a doctor
Dj stood up but she motioned for him to sit back down
Janet: Listen to me my babies in life things happen for a reason. Both of y'all have your own lives now.
She looked at me
Janet: You and August are great together
She looked at DJ
Janet: And look what God did you got a kid on the way
He kinda laughed but tears we're running down both our faces
Dj: I promise she'll get your middle name
Janet: Oh Elise is a beautiful name
We laughed
Janet: I just want y'all to except each other be happy for one another and Dj she didn't chose him over you she just simply followed her heart like you doin with that little girl out there
He smiled, got up and hugged her as did I. She smiled and closed her eyes.
