Fearless

Chapter 9

Ohãna

In the middle of the night I woke up sweaty and almost crying. I had a nightmare of me being in my old house and Darius chasing me with belts and knives in his hands.

This was the first time I've had a nightmare since I've been staying with August so it was quite weird.

I used to get them while I was with Darius but even those ones weren't as scary as this one, but i went back to sleep ignoring the nightmare.

I woke up again at 11:35am and got up to go to the bathroom and get ready. I looked in the mirror and most of my bruises were fading away and healing nicely, but I could just still see one on my side pretty clearly.

If I had a lighter skin complexion it probably would have been more obvious and looked worse so thank God for the black on my skin.

(A/N: Shout to all the different skin shades out there, I love you all so don't get offended because Ohãna loves her darker skin. We all human anyway so. Fuck a skin colour bihh 🖕💖)

It was Saturday so I decided I would cook for August tonight just as a little thank you gesture.

I planned on going to the store with Amber to pick up some stuff that I would need and then later I would start cooking around 6pm to have the food ready by 7:30pm.

Like August had said that day I went to go get my clothes, I haven't seen or heard from Darius which was an upside.

I was shaken up from the nightmare and it just kept flashing through my head making it hurt.

I was ready by 12:15, I went to Augusts room like I normally did to check if he was up.

I wasn't going to tell him about the nightmare because it didn't seem important and I didn't want him to worry anyway.

His door wasn't open so I knocked. "August, are you awake?".

"Yeah, are you awake? You been sleep for the longest!" He said laughing, his voice got louder as he came closer to the door then he opened it.

He was wearing a pair of blue basketball shorts and no shirt. Wow! He had a lot of tattoos. His body distracted me from what he said before.

"Erm..?" I said quickly looking somewhere else. This is how he makes me so nervous, I could just curl into a ball and die.

He smirked at me making my face get hot, I probably looked like a tomato the way my face was red.

"You done eye raping me Ma?" He said laughing.

"I was not! I erm.. Erm" Shit! Get your words out Ohãna before you look stupid!
"Uh, yeah I came to let you know I'm going to the store, so erm will you be here when I get back or do I need to take your keys?"

"You should probably take my keys." He said walking over to his night stand to get his keys. "I'm going to play basketball with Terrell and Lamar at 2 but I'm leaving out at 1 to meet them."

"Okay, Thank you" I said taking his keys and walking down stairs.

"If you have any problems call me or I'm at the basketball court by them new buildings." he called out.

"Okay" I called back.

~12:57pm

I got to the store, parked my car and called Amber.

"Hello, are you here yet?" She answered.

"Yh, I just parked up. Are you in the store?" I asked
