My Right Hand 2

Aleah

Mama had to be rushed to the hospital. We almost lost her. Thank God they were able to revive her. I can't believe we were so close to almost losing her. I feel really empty on the inside, I can't imagine my life without her. "Le you good?" "I'm straight." I get up and walk into the hall. "Hey Aleah is mama okay?" Mackenzie asks. "She's here. They took her back into the room. They are doing that they can." "That's good. Where's my husband?" "In the waiting room."

We walk back into it and August jumps up. This should be interesting to watch by the way this nigga jumped up. "Hey baby." "August don't hey baby me. Where were you?" He looks at me. I had no plans of us falling asleep together, it just happened. I didn't mind it either. It's not my husband to keep up with. "I was over mama's." "With her right?" "Too close to my face Mackenzie." Damn I mean I am standing right next to her and him. "You shouldn't be worrying about my hands or my husband."

"Actually I'm only worried about one of the two and right now that's your damn finger in my fucking face." She moves her hand. "August. Were you with her?" "I was Mackenzie but we fell asleep." "Aleah did you fuck my husband last night?" "No I did not Mackenzie and let me just be the first to say I may be in love with your husband but I don't want him. You can keep his trifling ass." "How is he trifling?" I chuckle, "Nah I'm fine not sharing my answer." She ain't ready for that shit.

"Aleah if you know something it's you that has to tell me." "I don't have to tell you anything. My loyalty is to him not you." "As a woman you should." Bitch please get out of here with this woman to woman shit. "Girl goodbye. That's not how I roll. If you really want to know my answer I was going to say you're in the picture, that's how he's trifling." She looks at me. "August are you gone sit here and let her say that?" "Aleah chill out please."

I was just casually talking to her. She wants answers she'll get them. She may not like them but I honestly don't care how she feels about it. "Baby that's it? That's all you gone say?... Listen Aleah... I honestly don't know who the hell you think you are but this is MY husband, my family, and my life. I don't take too kind to bitches like you who feels like the world owes them shit. You may feel like you have the upper hand you don't, while you were doing ten years for him and he was out dating me, fucking me, making a life with me, giving me everything you wish you had. So next time you decide to get cozy and comfortable with my nigga, my husband, your so called best friend please remember who has the title."

"Alright that's enough." August says now deciding to step in. This nigga. I laugh, That's real cute Mackenzie. Bravo. You must have rehearsed that a thousand times in the mirror this morning. But let me tell you something sweetie I get that's your husband and like I've said many times before I don't want him. Sure you have the life congratulations to you. That's the only thing you're the first on the list for." "Aleah chill."

"Nah I'm not done August. While you're still figuring him out, I know all there is to know and I know his ass very well like the back of my hand. I could give you a few pointers if you like. So while your up at night trying to figure out what the hell August is doing and where the hell his heart lies... You and your damn title should remember Mackenzie you might have the title but bitch I have the bond locked down. Let's be honest... What's the title without the bond?" "Aleah Jones?" "Right here." I get up and walk over to the doctor." "She's up and alert but the cancer has spread out more. It's not going to be long."

Now isn't the time to cry Aleah, suck it up. "Alright thanks doctor." I walk back into her room. "Hey baby." "Hey mama." I hug her lightly. "Where's August?" "Probably trying to get the stupid look off his wife face." Mama shakes her head, "What have you done now?" "I simply told her the truth." "Aleah.." "Motherrr." "Let the girl live." "She can but just not assuming I want her man and when she feels like she can talk to me any kind of way."

"Aleah you have to respect her as his wife." "You get what you give." She shakes her head. "Girl your a damn mess." "I know." August and Mackenzie walks inside the room. "Well hey there." "Hey mama. How you feeling?" "I'm still here." "That's good to hear." "Hi Mackenzie." "Hey ma." The truth hurts but it's the truth. I didn't plan on saying anything to her today but she took me there. Sorry to have burst her bubble but just being honest I could have August if I really wanted him.

"Leah you saying here tonight or what?" "I'll probably stay if that's cool with you boss." "Yeah it's fine." "She works for you August?" Mackenzie asks. "Yeah she been working with me for a while now. I told you that." "No you didn't August." "Mackenzie yes I did." "Alright."

We sit in the room for a while. "Oh Amaya wanted me to give you this." August says reaching inside his bag. I smile and grab. I'll read it later. "So Aleah how on Earth could you give a sweet little girl like Amaya away?" "Considering where I was how could I do anything." This bitch is really trying it. "Mackenzie that's rude as hell." My mama actually says. Finally she sees something my damn way. Can this day get any better?

"August where is your wedding ring?" Oh shit it just did. Where the hell is fucking popcorn?
