My Hustle and Lover: COMPLETED ✅

Chapter 8

Samir POV

It's been about a month and a half since I have seen August of course I miss him but never got the courage to call or text him. He has been texting asking "How I been" but I never response.

I've been throwing myself into my work since August and I stop talking just to get my mind off of things.

When I came back to work the next day after Aaron and August got into it , Aaron was there but he didn't say anything about the incident. He didn't even look my way. I guess August pulling a gun out on him scared of enough.

I've been seeing Corey a lot though since He and Trish have been talking. He keeps me updated on how August is doing. He says him and his brother Mel are back speaking which I am happy about.

"Girl what you over there thinking about ?" Trish snapped me out my thoughts.

"Oh nothing important."

"Your ass lying I can tell. You thinking about Aug aren't you."

"Is it that obvious ?"

Next thing I know Trish burst out laughing. I frowned my face up at her because I really didn't find anything funny.

"Girl just call him then."

"No"

"See that's why your ass sad and lonely now. Being stubborn."

"Am not."

"Yes the hell you are. Sammy come on boo just call him."

"He walked out on me ! Why should I ?" I kind of snapped.

"Mmm I see you bout to start tripping so being the best best friend I am , I'm going to drop the conversation. You still want me and Corey to drop you off at your moms house."

"Yes please. My car needs to hurry up and get out the shop."

I rolled my eyes and sighed.

"Ok well get ready cause he going to be here in 30 minutes."

I just nodded , making my way to my bathroom.

After showering and doing my hygiene thing , I looked through my closet for something to wear. I'm only going over my mothers house so I'm not going to dress up.

My brother Michael is in town for the first time in like 3 years and my mother wants to have this big dinner with the whole family or should I say their whole family.

I decided to dress down since I really didn't care for this dinner , I'm only going because my mothers claims she misses me and that she wants all her kids together one more time. Yea right. Putting on my red , black , and white windbreaker jacket with some black leggings and my Jordan's. I put my earrings and watch on while sliding my shades on my face well the shades August left the last time he was here.

"Boo Corey here !" Trish yelled from downstairs.

"Ok here I come"

Grabbing my purse and phone I made my way downstairs following Trish out the door.

Lord be with me tonight.

The ride to my mothers house was cool. Trish and Corey had their own conversation while I scrolled through Instagram. I soon came across a picture of August and a little girl. She must be one of his nieces.

The caption said

{My mini me ❤️ Kay Kay lil Gangsta}

I smiled at the picture and double tapped it.

Before I knew it we were at the hell house itself.

"Sammy girl make sure you call me if anything happens. You know I been wanting to beat Traci ass since we were younger."

"Ok killer" I laughed.

"Be safe lil sis"

"Ok you two. I'm going to be fine have fun do couple things I'm ok."

I grabbed my things getting out the car.

"I ain't playing Samir" Trish leant over Corey yelling out the window.

"Ok Latrisha goodbye."

"Bye love you"

"Love you too"

Once they pulled off I made my way up the porch steps o use to sit on when I was little. Knocking twice , a few seconds later the door open and there stood the Devil herself.

"Hey sweetie glad to see you made it."

"Hey Mom"

I put a smile on my face and stepped inside.

Please let this night go smoothly.

August POV

Sitting on my couch in the living room , I was rolling up a blunt. Since Mel picked up Kay Kay a few minutes ago I can final smoke something.

I hate smoking around my nieces I feel guilty for some reason. Grabbing my lighter I kicked my feet up on my coffee table and lit my jay. I been stressed the fuck out the past couple weeks. Shit at the Trap just ain't been feeling right. Mel say I'm tripping but I ain't trying to hear that shit. Since I really ain't been sleeping the last couple days bags and dark rings starting to form under my eyes. I really ain't been eating either l. I just really ain't been having time too.

Staring at something on tv I started to think about my little mama. It's been about a month maybe more since I see her. I know it was fucked up for me to walk out like that but I really ain't the man for her. I told you hit me up if she need me though and she hasn't so I guess she doing fine. Every time I seen Trish I ask her how she doing , she just give me this hard stare and roll her eyes. When I try to ask Sneaks ass she threaten to the point he won't tell me shit. Trish always tell me the same thing.

"You wanna know how she doing pick up da phone and call her. You know where she live and work go see her."

I ain't with that pop up visit shit though. If she need me she'll call. Hopefully.

I could feel like eyes getting heavy as my body started to relax a little to much few seconds later I was out.
