April P.O.V
Aug tells me to get my ass up and get dressed, then meet him at Ihop. I wanna know what he got up his sleeve. Because he never gets up if he dont got too. I get up throw on a purplish blue polo tee some ripped jeans and flint 13s. Now to mention, this is not early in the morning. Im on my way to Ihop at 8 o clock at night. Like wdf. He better have something big planned like forreal.

I pulled up to the Ihop and August if standing outside on his phone. So -.- he ain have a table this whole time?

AUGUST: "hey you"

ME: "what do you want"

AUGUST: "so this how we treat our boyfriends now"

ME: "yea the one's that drag me out of my bed now whats up"

AUGUST: "i have somebody in there that is dying to see you. I reached out, got the connects, and he is down here to see you."

ME: "Who?"

AUGUST: "youll see when you walk in there."

I walk into the restaurant and August leads to me some seat with a dude in it. But the dude head down. With a hoodie on. So im hella lost.

"You can put your head up now sir"
August says to mysterious dude. He puts his head up and takes off his hoodie.

"Hey there babygirl." And im literally in shock. I havent seen dude in a couple years face to face. My own father.

"Wow. Its really you dad. How you been?"

"Same old same old i just talked to you 2 weeks ago"

"Yea, and in there you didnt mention coming down here"

"That wasnt my intention until your boyfriend August here reached out. You know it was never my decision to just up and leave your life like that. And im sorry, and by the magical power of your wonderful boyfriend, who I have had conversations with and you guys have my approval, and a 2 month ticket, im here."

"Waitt?? Youre here for 2 months?!"

"Im all yours babygirl. I took a vacation off of work to fix things with my daughter. Nothing matters more."

"What about your wife? Ya family up in Georgia?" I say, with much needed attitude.

"My first born should always be first to my attention"

"Where are you going to stay?"

"Next surprise." Aug says

"Since im here for 2 months, i thought it made more sense to rent out a condo, rather then pay almost 400 dollars every week for a one bedroom motel"

"Ok, so you got a condo. Whats the surprise?"

"Its a month to month condo. No leasing needed. 2 bedroom, 900 dollars a month. And a little birdy told me August needs a place to stay, get back up on his feet."

"Are you inferring that you and August live together?"

"Yea, for those 2 months. But what to do with the condo after I leave? Oh wait.. isnt 2 months the exact time when you get out of school? Wow."

"So what your sayin is..."

"Thats its our apartment." Aug says.
"After 2 months. Hopefully we'll both have a decent income to afford it"

"And im always here to help. You shouldnt be afraid to talk to your own father."

"Thats not really a conversation you have with your dad. 'Hey I need money to pay for an apartment for me and my boyfriend' and you know that"

"True. But there are always other ways to get money from me"

"Wow dad. Thanks for telling me how to rob you"

"I like yall relationship. Yall not close but yall make it work like you see her everyday"

"Thats how your suppose to treat your child, I dont see her on a daily basis but when I do she needs my undivided attention while she can get it. And if I could show your dad what a real man looks like I would."

"Aww all sentimental."

"Whatever April"

"Alright now that we have all this established, lets go check out the condo."
