God's Blessing |August Alsina|

Chapter 11

August Perspective.

"Blessing,stop allat' whining."I pleaded.

"Tell me where we going and I'll stop."She folded her arms.

"We'a got few more minutes and we'll be'a der'."I told her turning the corner.It is suppos' ta' be a surprise bu' she'a won't let it rest.I'a ran my hand ova' my face wanting to just get da' tape outta' da' back and slap it on ha' face.

"Fine,you better not kill me."she mumbled the last part.I chuckled turning into the cheesecake warehouse.I heard a small squeal erupt from the side of me,making me swerve.

"What da' hell 'rong withca' ass!"I yelled trying to focus back because my nerves got bad.

"Aug,oh my god!The cheeseCake factory!"

"My ears,my damn god."She looked out the window amazed still.Once I'a parked,we got out.Once we entered we were greeted by a lady who'a looked as if she'a was 100.

Probably younga' bud' white people shit crack bud' black don't.

"Hello,my name is Meridith and I'm going to be showing you around and tell you about the art of cheesecake."

"I'm so excited,I love cheesecake."Blessing clapped excitingly jumping up and down.I rolled my eyes at ha' playfully.She'a looked like a luh' ass baby who got jus' got sum' candy.She nudged me smiling.As time went on, we learned about the history of cheesecake.I'an bouta' lie,it was kinda' interestin' ta me.After a while, they'a taught us how ta make our own cheesecake 'dea and now we were seated eating them.

"This is so fun."She cheesed.I'a nodded happily knowing I pleased her ta' da' point a smile was plastered on'a face.

"I'm happy I'a could put a smile onna' pretty face."I smoothly replied.

"You were always the one to flirt."

"I ain't flirting, I'a see you got a 'luh sum' goin' on with ya man."

"I wouldn't say he my man.I don't even feel like this ring being on my finger having a meaningful purpose behind it."She remarked.

"Whatchu' talm 'bout?"I probbed.

"He rarely speaks to me unless its church related,He just seems so distant at times and most of all he always cancels our dates."Earlier,after he left I asked him did he want to chill,he said he was busy like always."She told me taking a bite into her cheesecake.It looked 'gud,with some chocolate drizzlin' and stuff.

"Blessing,I know I just came back like a few days ago,but maybe he ain't the one.Y'all just don't look like y'all fit or act. He look stuck up and you look like you."I said truthfully.I wasnt saying it cause I wanted her to myself but because marriage is a big step inna' relationship.Secondly, I don't wan' see ha' hurt. Sum' I'a could've prevented,like i'a should've a long time ago.

"August,I know.Sometimes opposites attract."She fiddled with her fingers.

"All im'a ask is are ya' sure you'a ready fa' dis' ya young and beautiful still.Are you sure he knows what to do with it?"I asked placing my hands on hers.

"Do with what?"She bite down on ha' bottom lip staring at the table.

"Your heart,Your heart belongs to him right?"
