Temptation (August Alsina) (Editing Process)

13. Grateful

(Kiara's P.O.V.)

"Ma get up, we here." My eyes fluttered open. I looked to my left to see August standing with a sleeping Elana in his arms.

I rubbed my eyes getting up from out of my seat. "Come on."

I followed August out the private jet outside to see a black rental Jeep Patriot. "I already put our bags in the car."

"Thank you."

"No problem." He walked around placing Elana in her booster seat.

"Daddy?" She said in tired voice.

"Yea baybeh I'm hea'."

"I'm kinda thirsty can I please get somethin' to drink?"

"Yea hold on baybeh we will get somethin' real soon. Why don't you go back to sleep?"

"No, I'm fine."

He got in the car starting the engine and backing out of the parked spot we was in and began to drive.

•------

I watched as August parked into the driveway of the familiar house. He looked towards me grabbing my hand softly.

I guessed he figured out how nervous and paranoid I was being about the whole situation because of the look on my face.

"It's gon' be fine. Don't stress it, they'll love you." I relaxed a little not fully believing what he said knowing that I was gon' be put through hell for the shit I did.

I jumped at the sudden knock on my window to see August motioning me on to open my side of the car door.

I stepped out taking a deep breath. I quickly looked at myself on the dark blank screen of my phone before shoving it in my pocket and catching up to August.

He rung the doorbell, a few minutes later the door began to be unlocked. "Hey baybeh'!"

I looked over at August's mom standing at the door entrance as she engulfed August into a tight and what seemed like a warm hug.

She looked over at me up and down and then at Elana before bending down to her level. "Oh! I'm gettin' to old fa' dis."

"I betchu' are." August replied chuckling. "Boy you don't ever stop, do you?" He chuckled shakin' his head in reply.

"So this must be my beautiful gran' baybeh'?" Elana smiled wrapping her arms around Ms. Sheila.

I couldn't help but feel horrible all over again.

Especially since Ms. Sheila started to tear up as she picked Elana up.

"Look at you! Your so gorgeous! Do you know who am I sweetie?"

"Yea, you're my grandma."

Ms. Sheila nodded as the tears she was holding in started to fall down. "Don't cry grandma...it's okay I'm not going anywhere."

"I know sweetie...I'm just so happy you're here and I finally get to meet you."

"Yea me too." She kissed her on the cheek before handing her over to August. "Why don't you take her in and introduce her to everyone else, they all came by to see her."

"K ma." He kissed her on the cheek before looking at me and winking.

After August walked inside, Sheila closed the door behind us and sat on one of the porch chairs.

She looked me up and down, before scoffing' to herself. "I don't even know what to say to you nor can I even look at you for more than a minute without trying to restrain myself from stranglin' the hell out you...You see I had a lot of stuff I was prepared to tell you today but walkin' out hea' and seein' my gran' baybeh' for the first time changed my point of view on that. And you lucky August has found someway to convince me to find a bit of sympathy in my body to feel for you or else-."
