Better Days (Completed)

- Lets Figure It Out

August and Iyasia in MM

August

"Iyasia fuckin get off me you see I'm tryna play da game man, damn." I said getting annoyed with her.

She sat up and stared a hole in my face.

"It's my first day back and you're back to being a asshole. You invited me over so we could catch up." She said putting emphasis on catch. "So let's catch up."

I sighed and paused my game putting the controller down.

"Alright, let's talk then." I said looking at her. I don't know what could have possibly happened in the past two months but Asia was more beautiful than ever. I don't even know how that was possible being that she was already flawless before. Is cooked her dinner and we ate and made small talk. Clearly Asia over stuffed herself because as soon as dinner was over and we sat on the couch she was dead sleep. Now she's up getting on my last nerve.

She looked down at her hands before looking back up at me with a serious look on her face.

"August there was something I never got to ask you about before our falling out and it just weighed heavy on my mind." She said nervously.

"Go ahead." I said staring in her eyes trying to see where she was going with this.

"August when you found about your brother sleeping with Toya. You said that he wasn't your blood. What'd he do?" She asked.

I sighed. I hated talking about this shit cause I hated thinking about the moment I lost who I thought was my brother. He did some unforgivable shit. He was ruining families man and my heart was too big to be surrounded by that.

"Me and my brudda had da best relationship up until last year." I started. "Growing up he was always rebellious, he was da "bad" one I guess you ca' say. When he was 15 he started slangin outchea in the streets and got fucked up with the wrong niggas. The niggas he was running with was ruthless A forreal. They came across this nigga named Jermaine, older dude but I guess he was still in the game." She looked at me with a scrunched up face as if that name rang a bell, I continued talking. "They had been cool wit Jermaine for a lil minute, they was all in bidness tahgetha. Until some of Vince money came up missing, $75,000 ta be exact. That's when shit got crazy man." I said dropping my head.

"When shit started gettin heated bout all da money bein missing and who was tampering with it Jermaine dipped. Vince searched high and low but it's like Jermaine fell of the face of the Earth. After doing some research Vince found out dat Jermaine had a wife and two daughtas, but on some real shit Jermaine ain't never mentioned dat to Vince so it came as a surprise ta him and he figured dats how he was gon get his revenge. He dug some mo and found out where dey stayed man. When he got dea only dey momma was dea. I guess da lil girls was at school ion really know. But as soon as she opened the do Vince killed her. He-"

"Shot her twice in the head.." Asia said at the same time as me.

I shot my head in her direction and looked at her tear stained eyes.

"He really did ruin my whole life." She said softly. "That was my mom August and those two girls was me and Vic. I'd left that morning to take Vic to school. I'd just graduated and really had no interest in college so I was just looking for a job." She said as tear after tear fell down her cheek. "I'd gotten in a argument with my mom that morning because more than anything she just wanted me to go to school. I felt like it was just gonna be a waste of thousands of dollars because college wasn't for me, but that was just my rebellion talking because at the time I really didn't know what was for me." She shook her head and continued talking. "Instead of going straight home after dropping Vic off I stopped a few places to pick up some job applications and that took about a hour. After that I finally decided to head home but I couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. When I pulled up in the drive way our front door was cracked open and that was weird because my mom was always so paranoid about having the door closed and making sure it was locked at all times. I jumped out the car and ran straight to the door and swung it open to be greeted with my moms lifeless body laying there with a note." She dropped her head into her hands and took a few deep breaths before continuing. "The note said "Jermaine it's only the beginning." and that's when I realized what was happening. My mom was the receiving end of one of my dads drug deals gone wrong. August I hadn't even seen my dad since Vic was born. So the little revenge Vince was out to seek was a failed attempt because my dad had left us a long time ago. He killed my mom for no reason." She said hysterically crying now.

I pulled her into me and held her. It seemed that she could never catch a break. Not only did my brother kill her mom but then he ripped away the only thing she had left, her innocence.

"I'm sorry Asia I'm sorry." I said as I rocked her back and forth. After a few minutes her crying ceased and she sat up and stared at the wall. I honestly couldn't tell what was going through her mind, I couldn't read her.

"I'm going to kill him before that disease does." She said barely above a whisper.

"Asia you can't-" I started before she cut me off.

"Don't even bother. This man took everything from me. He's managed to make my life hell meanwhile he walks around here with not a care in the world." She said laughing a little.

Honestly I knew how crazy Asia was already but this shit really had me questioning her sanity.

"Asia he already got a guaranteed death comin soon, you don't need ta do that. What happens when you get caught? Dey gone throw yo successful black ass in the bottom of the jail if dey don't kill you first. Then what? What about Vic? What about me?" I said whispering the last part.

I'd spent too much time away from Asia to realize what my dumb ass had in front of me and to realize what I felt for her. I'm not sure exactly what it was that I felt for her cause I never felt this shit before but it felt good and I didn't plan on spending anymore time away from her trying to figure it out. I'm good off that.

Her face immediately softened and she looked over at me. "You?" She said simply

I shrugged and looked down. "Ion know what I feel bout you Asia but I feel somethin. Some gay ass tingly shit run through my body everytime I be witchu man. I thought about you every single day these past two months. What the fuck is that?" I said looking at her.

She looked over at me and grabbed my face looking in my eyes before crashing her lips into mine. I pulled her close to me deepening the kiss and I felt her reach for my belt buckle. I smiled in the middle of the kiss and pulled back looking at her.

"You not ready for that yet baybeh. Classy a' put some problems in your life."

"Clearly wasn't enough fa Toya." She said cracking up.

I stale faced her and she grabbed my face pecking my lips and few more times and looked at me. "I don't know whatchu feeling, but I know I feel the same thing. We can just figure it out together okay?" She said smiling

I smiled at her. "Ion kno na, I think what I was feelin is long gone man witcha hot ass breath." I said while wiping my mouth off.

She stale faced me and hit me in my chest hard as fuck.

"Aye man keep yo planet of the apes hands off me."

She hit me again and got up. I pulled her back and pecked her lips again. "I'm just playing where you going?"

"Vic is gonna kick my ass, I gotta go."

I got up to walk out her out. "Where you left my rascal at anyway?"

"She 13 now and demanded she was responsible enough to stay home alone so I just hope our place is in one piece by time I get back." She said laughing.

"Alright then gon and check on my rascal and stop tryna take my virtue." I said smirking.

"Bye August." She said walking away to get in her car.

"Bye baybeh." I said and watched her drive away.
