Beautiful Liar

Kamelle Griggs.

Kamelle had just got off the phone with her best friend, Fendi, when she was pulling on her shoes. She noticed her kitchen beginning to look a little empty, so she wrote down a list of things she'd pick up from the grocery store. Images of Kendrick's stiff body kept flashing through her mind.

Turning off the light to the front room, Kamelle locked the opened door as she began to walk out. She heard BDot and August in the hall on the level above her and listened in on their conversation.

"Ay, word from E, we really gotta watch out fa' baby girl down thea'," says August.

"Yeah I know, but what's going on?" Brian replied.

"It's that nigga Bleed. He's out for 'er. Not really sure why, and we haven't gotten any info about none of it."

"Okay but why he go after her brother?"

"It's obviously a trap. I free him if you give me what I want."

"What exactly does he want?"

"That's what we can't seem to figure out."

Kamelle couldn't take anymore. She then second thought going out to the store by herself. She came to the staircase and called up for August.

"Hey uh, August?"

"Oh shit. That's ha' . Cmon nigga." Aug and Brian came down the stairs and stared at Kamelle waiting for her to speak.

"Um, I was about to go out and pick up some groceries and I was wondering if one of you could come with me. You know for protection." She wasn't going to let them know that she overheard their conversation even though that's what August suspected.

"Your boyfriend ain't want to?" Brian says.

"Um I haven't asked Eric. I just walked out and I heard Aug so yeah."

"What'd you hear?" August asked.

"Oh uh, something about figuring something out. Why what's wrong?"

August looked at Brian and Brian gave August the same look back. They dapped and August agreed to go with Kamelle.

He offered to take his car and Kamelle was down with that. The car ride seemed quiet but only because a popular song began to play as soon as he started the car and the store wasn't too far away.

"You gon need a cart?" Aug asked grabbing a shopping cart and disinfectant wipe.

"Yeah. Thanks." Kamelle smiled as Aug passed her the cart.

Kamelle didn't really know how to feel in the store with August. She sorta felt protected because he stayed a little behind and she caught him looking around like he was trying to find someone. But then again she was a bit nervous because what if they were followed and August was attacked?

"Ugh, you drink that shit?" Aug asks in disgust looking in Kamelles cart.

"What shit?" She laughed.

"Allem nasty ass vegetables. Tomatoes and celery and shit."

"They're actually very healthy for the human temple."

"Yeah fucking right. Ain't nothing up in this bitch healthy. Every last item in this store was sprayed with some fucking GMO shit and injected wit' some antibiotics. Don't believe the commercials ma." August stopped and pulled out a tomato. "This sticker is a fucking lie. Thas how they get to people like you. They put a sticker on a fruit and raise the price and make the consumer believe it's going to be healthy."
