Indya and Courtney in the MM
**
Thursday, August, 3 weeks later
"Yea Indya Ima come, I promise. I'm gettin dressed right na!" I laughed into the phone and she laughed with me saying a quick okay.
"Well the last couples times you didn't show up! So I'm just making sure ." She said back to me and I shrugged as if she could see me.
"Well Ima be there Ight?" I told her that I would see her later and I ended the call.
"Dang what Ima wear?" I said searching through all my clothes and throwing them everywhere. I currently only had a towel on.
"I guess I can where dis." I said choosing an outfit. I grabbed a pair of boxers out of my drawer and took my towel off, from around my waist.
"Aye, yung lemme get a---OH HELL NAW" my older brother Mel had busted in the room at the wrong time. I quickly put my boxers on and covered my face.
"I'm scarred for life...I'm fucking scarred. I will never be the same. My life has just changed drastically." He rambled on.
"Mayne shut up. Shouldn't have been busting through people's doors at random times." I put my baggy joggers on.
"No ya shouldn't have been naked! YA LIL NASTY!" I shook my head at him and put my shirt on.
"Where the hell you going?" Mel asked me, being mosey as usual.
"The club."
"With who?"
"With Indya! Nosey." I rolled my eyes at him.
"Oooooh that's that fine broad you met a while back!" He got excited.
"Yeah. But she ma best friend so it ain't een like that."
"Ain't no way in hell that y'all JUST friends."
"Well we are so." I shrugged nonchalantly.
"Well then Ima dick her down since you won't!" He said rubbing his hands together and licking his lips.
"Back off ma best friend. I aint playin witchu lil boy." I pointed my finger at him and he held his hands up in surrender. I began to put my socks and shoes on and he exited my room. I grabbed my phone and some money and made my way out to my black Range Rover.
At the club, Indya
"Girl you already tipsy!" I yelled over the music to Courtney.
"Nuh uhhhh no I not." She slurred back to me laughing. I shook my head at her and took a sip of my water. I bobbed my head to the beat and I felt hands grip my small waist.
"Guess who." I heard august voice say in my ear and I turned around jumping into his arms.
"It's about time!" I smiled.
"You look gorgeous." He complimented me and I thanked him and complimented him back.
"You wanna dance?" I Asked and he nodded his head. I grabbed his hand leading into the crowd with me. Twerk it by busta rhymes and Nicki Minaj came on and I began to twerk.
"Danggggg!" August grabbed my waist and I grinded on him. I felt him getting hard so I stopped and turned around to look at him. He smirked and grabbed me pulling my body close to his a gripping my ass.
"Ya know we can't JUST be friends, indya. We both are attracted ta each other." He said, surprising me.
"August you have a girl friend." I said to him over the music.
"Ex...girl friend. I broke up wit ha last week." He caressed my cheek.
"Aug...I can't." I sighed making my way out of the club and I could hear him following close behind me. I made it out of the club and stood next to the building with my hands covering my face trying to keep back tears.
"Indya..." I felt August's arms wrap around me and I cried into his chest.
"What's wrong..? Did I do something?" August asked, clearly confused as to why I'm crying.
*flashback*
"Babe! Give me my phone back!" I laughed chasing my boyfriend of 3 years around his front yard.
"Say sorry first!" He came to a stop and I stopped in front of him as his tall gram towered over me.
"I'm sorry Jojo." I smiled and brought his face down to mine, pecking his lips multiple times and he handed me back my phone.
"I have a secret to tell you." I whispered in his ear.
"What is it?" He smiled.
"I don't know how you're gonna take this.." I looked down at my hands playing with my fingers.
"Just tell me baby." He pressed on. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes.
"I'm pregnant.." I opened my eyes to see this sly smirk on his face.
"I knew there was something up when I didn't get that call to bring you pads and chocolates." He smiled wide.
"You're not mad?" I questioned him.
"Nope not at all. I'm having a child with the love of my life, Hopefully a baby girl so I can spoil her at all times. And down the line we'll have another one, but this time a boy and he'll be just like me." Jojo said to me with his eyes lighting up as he talked about our future.
"I love you so much jojo." I smiled.
"I love you more Indya." He kissed all over my face then bent down to my stomach. "And I love you the most." He said lifting my shirt and placing a soft kiss on my abdomen.
"Come on let's go inside." He grabbed my hand leading me back inside his house. Jojo was 20 while...and I'm just 18. I know my parents are gonna be disappointed in me. But legally I'm grown so I can do what I want with or without their permission.
*DING DONG*
"I'll get it." Jojo announced as he walked towards the door.
"Where's my money?" I heard an unfamiliar voice say aggressively and I stood up and watched what was happening from afar. Jojo and the mystery man we're going back and forth, arguing over nothing. The man pulled out a gun and I ran to Jojo's side.
"What's going on?! Please put the weapon away!" I said frantically and Jojo began to push me away.
"Go indya. Go upstairs right now baby. I'll be back I promise." He kissed my forehead and I followed his instructions and went upstairs. I heard the arguing once again and it got louder and louder. I grew more worried by the second. Then silence...complete silence took over the house.
"Baby?" I called out as I began to walk back downstairs. POP! A gunshot rang through my ears and I started to run full speed towards the front door. I saw Jojo on the floor berthing heavy with a bullet through his chest.
"Baby. Stay with me. You promised me you'd be back...don't go okay?" I pulled him onto my lap and took my shirt off, applying pressure to his wound.
"If it's a girl, n-name her Jolene. If it's a boy name him Joseph...after me." He told me and beg and to blink slowly.
"No! No you better not close your eyes! Joseph Michael Carter! Don't you dare close your eyes!" I cried out and kissed his lips repeatedly hoping that a true loves kiss would end this night mare. But we all knew this wasn't a fairy tail.
"Smile for me indya." He said weakly and I smiled the best I could which made him let out a weak smile.
"Stay with me Jojo." I cried harder as his breaths began to slow down and his eyes began to blink slower and slower.
"I love you. And I love you." He said slowly to me and our unborn child. And with that his eyes closed and his breathing stopped. I sobbed and grabbed my phone calling the police..something I should've did earlier. I kissed Jojo's forehead and hugged his lifeless body close to mine hoping that this was all a dream...but it was reality.
*flashback over*
I sobbed into august chest and he rubbed my back.
"I'm sorry indya I didn't know..I'm so sorry. Come on let's get you home." He said as he lead me to his car helping me in. He got into the driver side and started the route to my home.
August got out and opened my door. We got into my house and I laid across the couch.
"August I'm sorry."
"For what?" He questioned.
"For turning you down like that it's just...you make me feel the same way my boyfriend used to make me feel and I'm scared..I don't wanna lose you. It's only been a month and some change, but I feel connected to you and it's scary to me. You remind me so much of him and it's hard." I explained with stray tears falling from my eyes.
"No no no don't cry again. You're too beautiful to be doing all this crying. I'll wait as long as you need alright indya? I like you a lot and I'm willing to wait." He assured me and I let out a half smile.
"I have a question though.." He trailed off and I nodded my head giving him permission to ask.
"What happened to the baby?" He asked me and I smiled at the thought of my baby girl, Jolene Sarai Carter.
"She's with her grandma. I have custody of her but my mother keeps her because I'm always at school but I visit very often." I told him and he nodded his head in understanding. I stared at him taking in all his amazing features.
"Let me see the rest of your tattoos." I said randomly.
"You serious?" He asked and I nodded my head up and down. He started taking off his shirt and I immediately saw all the tattoos and sat up looking at them intently.
"Wow." I reached my hand out and traced then with the tip of my finger causing him to shiver. I got closer to him to see the small one on his neck.
"You're a jr?"
"Yeah." He answered me and I just kept looking at his amazing tattoos. I trailed my fingers up his chest then down his arms and he just looked at me with an emotion that I couldn't make out. I looked deep into his eyes and he leaned into me cupping my face with his hands and kissing my lips ever so softly. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled his body close to mine. I haven't felt this way about another man in a long time.
