"I can't believe this." I mumbled.

"Don't cry sweetie. Don't stress. I'll ask him about it."

I nodded and wiped my eyes. "I really don't wanna find out he's cheating on me." I croaked. We heard a door open and loud yawning.

"Mornin' baybeh. Mornin' ma." He kissed our cheeks.

"August, Onika found something in your pocket last night."

"What was it?" I handed Mama Sheila the piece of paper. "Dis ain't what it look like."

"Really August? Its not what it looks like? It looks like you were thinking about cheating."

"Baybeh I'm tellin' ya, I wasn't gon cheat on ya."

"Why didn't you get rid of it?"

"I...Ion know."

I got up from the table and walked back to the room, locking the door behind me.

August Anthony Alsina

"August you have really let her down right now."

"I know ma but believe me, I'm doin' my best. I'm really tryin' my best not ta' fuck up."

"Stop cussing and go talk to her. She really needs you right now."

"Okay." I tossed da' paper in da' trash and walked down da' hall ta' my room. I jiggled da' doorknob. It was locked. "Nika please open da' do'. I wanna talk ta' ya."

"August please go away. I don't wanna talk to you right now."

"Baybeh please."

"No August. Just please go. Don't make this harder than it has to be."

My head hung low and walked back ta' da' living room. I plopped on da' couch and ran my hand down my face. "Give her time August." Mama told me. I nodded.

"Ma how do I apologize?"

"The usual. Get her flowers, chocolates, and most importantly tell her the truth."

"But I was tellin' ha' da' truth."

"She's making herself think this. Its hormones. Trust me, she believes but you still have to prove to her that you will never ever cheat."

"Hm. Ima be gone fa' a minute ma. Tell Nicki I'm gone. See ya later." I kissed ha' cheek, grabbed my jacket and keys and left da' house.

All da' while I was drivin', I was thinkin' bout what I was gon get Nika. I guess I'a get ha' a necklace wit' our initials engraved in it. And dem shoes she been wantin' and I'm pretty sure dey got 'em hea'. A box of chocolates and flowers but most importantly a ring. I plan on proposin' when we get home.

"Hi I'm hea' ta' get a necklace fa' my guh. I want one wit' our initials engraved in it."

"Sure. Take your pick." I scanned ova all da' necklaces till I found da' perfect one. It was a heart shaped one.

"Dis one."

"Perfect choice."

"Da' initials should be A and O and on the back put Foreva and Always."

"Okay. That should be finished in a about an hour."

"Alright how much dis gon cost me?"

"$425. Cash or credit?" I pulled out my wallet and handed ha' my credit card. "August Alsina." She handed it back and rushed out befo' I get in anymo' trouble.

"Aight, got da' necklace. Shoes, shoes, shoes." Guess I'll go ta' da' mall.

I picked up da' red bottoms she had been wantin' fa' a while. "Size eight, size eight." I mumbled.

"Need some help over here?"

"Uh yea. I need a size eight in these. Whea' dey at?"

"I'll show you. Come on." I followed ha' ta' da' back of da' store.

"Ion see no shoes back hea'."

"I know. I just thought we could use some privacy." She pulled ha' hair out of da' ponytail it was in and put ha' hand on ha' hips. "See anything you like?"

"Nope." I said poppin' da' P. I walked back ta' da' front and found da' right size. After da' shoes, I needed chocolate and flowers, den da' ring. I picked up flowers from a lil store in da' mall and bought da' biggest box of chocolates dey had. I knew da' perfect place fa' a ring. Jared.

"Hi what can I do for you?"

"I need an engagement ring. Whea' da' biggest ones ya got?"

"Right over here." She showed me. Dey was big. I looked around and seen da' one I wanted.

"Dis one."

"Anything special you want engraved in it?"

"Onika, Foreva and Always."

"Special girl?"

"Yep. I luh ha' ta' death. She carryin' two of my kids. She my soul mate."

"That's how I felt about my girlfriend."

"Ya gay?"

"Yea got a problem with that?"

"Nah. Ya cool. Thanks."

"No problem. It should be finished in an hour."

"Aight. How much dis gon cost me?"

"$1,300."

"Damn." Guess I'm usin' cash fa' dis one.

"Alright thanks. It'll be done in an hour."

"Aight."

Finally I can get home and kick my feet up and relax a lil bit befo' I come back ta' get da' necklace and da' ring.

"Do you know where August went?" I asked Travis.

"Nah. Sit down next to me. Get comfortable." I did as I was told and sat my pregnant ass down. I'm glad I did because my feet was killing me. "Don't that feel better?"

"Yea a little bit." The door opened and August walked in. "Hey August."

"Hey baybeh. Ya okay?" I nodded my head. He kissed my forehead and went to the kitchen. I sighed and looked at the tv.

August and Mama Sheila went outside. I wonder what was so important.

August Anthony Alsina

"Ya think she'll like what I got ha'?"

"I mean yea but shoes and chocolates and flowers aren't enough."

"I know dats why I got ha' a necklace wit' our initials engraved in it. And I got an engagement ring."

"Aww August. You're gonna propose?"

"Yea ma. I really think she my soul mate."

"I'm happy for you both."

"Its bout time fa' me ta' get da' necklace and da' ring. Can ya please hide dis stuff and make sure Nika don't see nothin'."

"Okay. Is that all you want me to do?"

"Um if ya can, set up all of da' stuff on da' bed in a orderly fashion and make sure she don't go in thea' till I get back."

"Okay okay. I'll do that."
