we walked towards the tree that we once carved our names into.
I smiled, squeezing August hands.
"I can't believe we're here." I smiled.
lately I've been very happy & excited, I've been having the time of my life with my fiancé.
"I can." he smiled letting go of my hand & touching our names that were carved on the tree.
he looked at me & reached his hand out to me.
I grabbed it, he placed my hand on the tree.
"believe it?" he asked
I smiled & rolled my eyes a little, "yeah"
"I love you baby." he said.
"I love you too, now does this come with a Gucci bag?" I joked.
he mean mugged, "hell nah, don't start with that materialistic shit na' bae."
"something to eat?"
he shook his head, "damn, I can't go nowhere with my fiancée with out you wanting me to spend money on you. cmon man " he said walking away, irritated.
I mean, I know it's been hard on him. August have every right to be irritated right now, but I want my baby to be happy just like me.
I ran after him, "baby?"
"what?" he snapped.
"how about this, let me treat you out to dinner. tonight if you good, give you some of this." I whined.
he chuckled, "sevyn want me to get jr. tonight & I have to work baby."
I paused, "oh."
"and sevyn don't want me to leave jr with you, you know how she get."he added.
I rolled my eyes, "imma talk to sevyn, give me your phone." I demanded.
he reached in his pocket & handed it to me.
"thank you."
I called sevyn & after 3 rings, she answered.
"August, where are you?" she asked.
"where are you, why tf is she asking that shit?" i whispered to August, he shrugged.
"sevyn, this is nicki." I said.
"oh, where's August?" she asked.
"don't worry about that, August can't get jr tonight he has to work." I told her.
"what? no, he better call off." she said.
I began to go off, but than I caught my self "Girl! as many times he called off to watch his son... look sevyn, if you really want little august off your hands I'll watch him."
"I don't want him off my hands, I just want him to spend time with his father." she lied.
"you sure about that?"
"well, I'll take a chance." she said.
I smiled, "okay, we're on our way now."
"ok." she hung up.
I handed August his phone, "let's go get jr."
he smiled, "last one to the car a rotten egg." he said jetting off.
I laughed & ran behind him.

we pulled into the driveway, sevyn had atleast 3 cars.
2 I knew was hers & one I didn't recognize.
"ill go get him." August said getting out the car.
I got out too, "I'm coming with you."
he stopped and gave me a look.
"August, I'm coming with you whether you want me to or not." I said crossing my arms over my chest.
he sucked his teeth than tilted his head, "alright, Leggo mama."
we walked straight in, she always leaves her door unlock when she knows August is coming or she just does.
"SEV!!!" August yelled.
her house barely was furnished, so you can hear the echoes.
"August, baby daddy is that you?" she said hugging August.
he smiled.
"HEY! sevyn." I said
"oh heyy you, little August is in his play pen." she said.
I looked at her, than August.
side eyed.
"go gettem." August said.
sevyn was just being super friendly & touchy with August, I was waiting for the bitch to go get jr.
August looked at me, " you just gon stand there? go get jr man."
"now August you done lost ya damn mind! and bitch" I said snatching sevyn off of August,
"get the fuck off of him, and I ain't playing with yo ass today. I will beat yo fucking ass, right here in your place." I said all up in her face.
"August, get your Fiancée." she said backing up.
August,
I got in between them, "na' look it ain't gon be all dat shit happnin' right na'."
"August, shut the fuck up." nicki said storming outside.
"sevyn, I'm sorry bring jr over tomorrow?" I asked.
she looked at me, "you done lost yo damn mind, you think I'm gonna bring my child over there? get the hell outta my house, I'm done compromising with yo ass. forget that shit, if you want to see your son you come here bye bitch." she said pushing me outside than slamming the door in my face.
I walked to the car & got in.
nicki wasn't even in it, so I called her ass.
"what August?" she said with a attitude
"where you at?" I asked
" on my way home."
I hung up & sped out of sevs drive way & was on my way home too.
