My Right Hand 2

August

"Hey You." "What's good Tay?" It's been a month since we met and when I called her that night we hit it off instantly minus her lil slip up. She's a fine ass woman but she has shit going for herself and the ambitions and drive to match. I admire that in her. The girls don't know anything yet and until it's serious enough they won't know a thing. I could see it getting real serious. "How are you?" "I'm good. How are you?" I move closer to her. "I'm great. Can't wait to watch this movie." "True. It should be good." She smiles and the light dim.

The movie was good. We head to the restaurant  across from the movies. "That was fun." "Shit was hilarious." She laughs, "Agreed." "So what's up how has your day been?" "It's been good, even better after this." I smile, "That's cool." "How has your day and the girls day been?" "It's  been great. The girls as well. They're over their God mothers." "Aww.... Three girls I just know your gun is locked and loaded."

"Man I'm not even waiting on that day. It can take its time. Angelique already talking about some lil boy in her class she likes." Taylor laughs, "Yeah I know, his name is Deante." I shake my head. "How you know?" I ask. "School counselor remember?" "Oh yeah that's right. So your really close with them already?" "Yes except Amina she is one tough cookie." I laugh, she's right about that. "She is."

"Especially after the thing, you know." "Yeah it's crazy how long it's already been that's passed but sometimes it feels like just yesterday." "Traumatizing events have that type of effect for those who go through them." "Right.... Aye don't start trying to analyze me."  We both laugh, "I'm not I was just saying. It's evidence that shows your statement to be factual, your not crazy basically." I laugh, "Well thank you Taylor." "It's no problem Aug. Free therapy, it's on the house." "You're something else."

"Hm good something else or bad something else?" "It's good Ms. Taylor." "Well good. I feel honored." We order our food and talk more u tip the restaurant closes. I didn't have plans on being out this long but time just flew by. "Well Mr. August as always this was fun." "Likewise Ms. Taylor. Call me or text me, whichever, once you make it home." "I will thanks for a good time forreal." She kisses my cheek and then walks to her car. I get inside mine and proceed to Aleah's.

I walk inside the house. "I hope y'all know y'all left the door open." "Yeah we did. We knew you were coming." Aleah says. "Oh before I go let me tell you about this girl." "This the same girl?" "Yeah." "Im shocked." "Why?" I ask sitting beside her on the sofa. "She likes your rude ass." I laugh, "How I'm rude Leah?" "You walk in here with a milkshake and did not bring me one." "You want this one?" "What flavor?" "Chocolate." "Oh nah .. Baby!" "Yeah Aleah?" Ty yells from somewhere in the house.

"Can you go get me an Oreo milkshake with extra whip cream please!" "Aleah who selling milkshakes at midnight on this side of town?.. What's up Aug?" "But baby I really want one. No one told you to stay on the bougie side of town where everything closes at 11." Ty laughs, "Aug go get your best friend a milkshake." "August is telling me about his date. He can't leave yet." "How is that going anyway? She cool?" Ty asks. "It's going good man. She's already fine ass hell but she has the brains to match." "Let me see a picture." "Shit if I have one."

I grab my phone and start scrolling through. I find a picture and show it to him. "Damn she is bad." "Nigga just act like I'm not sitting here. Go get my damn milkshake." "Watch yo mouth Aleah Jones... Anyway Aug that's what's up bruh." "Rude ass." I laugh at Aleah over here mumbling shit. I only understood the first part. "You alright?" "No I want a milkshake and Tywon rude ass ain't moved yet. But you got time to look at pictures."

Ty mushed her head. "Stop playing man." "You better be happy I like you. Watch when I get back with this shake I'm gone be her best friend,  this and baby that then." I laugh, "Exactly. I remember them days oh so well with Mackenzie." Then her ass was already crazy as hell so that shit ain't help either. "Goodbye Tywon." "The more you attempt to rush me out the door the more I'm gone sit here." "Baby forreal." "Aug you sticking around a lil longer?" "Yeah at least still you get back." "Alright preciate it... I'll be back Aleah." "Okay." He leave out the door.

"So it's getting pretty serious with Taylor." "Yeah it is. She cool and not crazy." Aleah laughs, "Right. Well she doesn't sound like it give it another month then say if she's crazy or not." "True. Might be calling it too early... What's up with y'all? Y'all good?" "Yeah we're great minus all these mood swings." "Just like that a few minute ago." "Yes. That really made me mad. Don't be standing there looking at some girl when I still don't have a milkshake in my hand. She alright anyway she wasn't all that." She says rolling her eyes.

"You're trip Aleah." "I know." "You heard from that number again?" "No the damn mind games people play. I just know that was KC. He was the only person to call me that but I also know I saw this nigga die. It's crazy man." "I got Tu to trace the numbers and nothing came up at all. He's also looking in on who moved her body." "Aug just be careful dealing with them." "Tutu is in good with me." "I'm not just saying him I'm speaking on the Haitians in general." "I will be careful Aleah." "Thank you." 

After twenty minutes of sitting here talking and laugh Ty walks back in. "So baby they didn't have any Oreo milkshakes so I got chocolate and then I went to the store I just bought the Oreo ice cream." She sucks her teeth. "I'll go get the girls up so we can head out." "Baby I wanted an Oreo shake."  "I'll make you one. Come on let's go to the kitchen." I laugh walking back to the room. Ty is a funny at least he's handling it better than what I would.

"Hey daddy." Angelique says raising up. "Hey baby girl. You ready to go?" "Yeah. This bed is comfortable though." I laugh, "Get your sisters up and let's get ready to take it to the house." "Okay." I shut the door and head back into the living room. Aleah finally got her shake. "Aug it's enough left if you want one." "Thanks but no thanks man. I'm good.... Aye Aleah what's a good spot that a woman would like for a first real date?" "Like fancy or non fancy?" "Fancy-ish but not enough to break my pockets." "Margino's is good and their food is delicious."

"Daddy who you taking out?" Angelique asks. "Ms. Taylor." Amina says. How they know? "Yeah I saw the flowers in her office." Amaya says. I laugh and shake my head. Well so much for keeping that a secret. "Say good night to Ty and Aleah we bout to go." "Good night." "Good night girls." Ty says. Aleah whose too busy stuffing her face finally looks up, "Night loves."
