August

My heart damn near stopped when I heard her answer the phone, but it soon found it place again when the voice wasn't who I wanted it to be. "Stef, the fuck you answering Em phone for?" She started to laugh, "She in the shower so I thought I would do her a favor. This way she won't have to deal with seeing your number." "She still got me saved in her contacts." I said sounding a little to desperate. "Nigga you wish. I just recognized your number." She said crushing that maybe there's a chance she ain't forget about me completely. I paused once a realized that her and Stef was in the same place, "Pause, she down here?" "No, I'm visiting her in DC. I had some fam up here that I came to see and called her up." "How she doing?" I asked trying to figure out how I should make this right. "She's fine, but back to the reason you calling. You found out the whole reason?" "Yeah, and now I really feel like an ass. I mean I already was feeling bad after a couple weeks went by and ain't hear from her. But this feeling is worse."

"I'm glad you feeling that way because that's only half of how she felt. But look I'm gonna tell you this only cause I want ya to work it out, she coming down Atlanta for the summer for a job. You got all summer to get it right, so start planning now." A smiled appeared on my face, "Forreal, thanks Stef. I owe you." "Yeah, you do because I'm the only one on your side. I don't know how much damaged you caused but Keith wants you nowhere near her, he made that very clear to me." I sighed. He had every right to feel that way. She is his little sister and was probably the one there for her, since I was too far up my ass to reach out. Just as I was about to say something I heard her voice in the background, "Stef you good in there? My bad I took so long in the shower." "Yeah, girl take your time." Somehow hearing her voice made me nervous and excited at the same time, "Look I got to go. We going out tonight and for old times sake I will send you some pictures. Cause if I have to say so myself Em looking good these days." I sucked my teeth, "Don't have to rub it in." "I'm not just letting you know you messed up." "I know." I mumbled. "Talk to later and remember don't mess up this second chance hopefully." "I won't. Thanks, bye." We hung and I started my car driving home.

The way back home I was thinking about what I could do to make things right. I know we will be starting over because I know she probably don't even trust me anymore let alone see me as a friend. I honesty had some hardcore making up to do and this wouldn't be easy. I made back to my place. Once I walked in the house, I received my first set of pictures from Stefanie. It was one of Em by herself looking like she was laughing and not paying attention to the camera. Her smile was big and pretty. It was one of those smiles that make you smile just because. She had on a distressed jeans her favorite thing to throw on and a fitted shirt that showed her stomach. I could tell she has been hitting the gym because last time I saw her stomach she ain't have abs trying to show.

Her hair was out and everywhere. I was still stuck on the first picture when I second one came through. To my surprise it was video, I proceed to press play to see her driving and singing along with Trey Songz Hard Times. The music was blasting and she was in her element. You could hear Stef laughing at her acting like she was Trey and making video for the song. It was something about her singing those words that had me feeling some type of way, because honestly after about three weeks that's how I was feeling about her. Even thought, a nigga wasn't calling. I was mad she listened to me saying to forget we ever met. I wanted her to call me and say I shouldn't believe Mia. I wanted to see her fight for what we had instead of saying all that other stuff. I wanted action and the action I got wasn't what I wanted to see. So, I acted like an ass and now I'm the only looking crazy and stupid. I was just focusing on making things right with us again. If we can't get back to where we were than at least be friends again.
