Forever (Urban Fiction) Book#1

In Your Hood

"I'm headin to da studio again. Ia be back in a minute." He said.

I emptied my bowl of cereal in the food disposal.
"I wanna go" I said wiping the milk off my face with a napkin.

"No. You wanna get dressed." He said.

I got up and went to my room to get dressed. I put on a black Pink jumpsuit with my black Pink slides and some ankle socks.

I went back downstairs with a big smile on my face.

He shook his head and we got in his car.

**

When we entered the studio, there were people everywhere. Not just any people.

But....celebrities. My uncle Tyga, Ty $, Trey Songs, and Chris Brown.

The only one that caught my eye was Ty $. I immediately ran up to him for an autograph.

He frowned at me and August came up behind me.

"She wit me." He said.

"Ahh... This ya girl?" He asked.

I nodded. Then I pulled out my phone with its white dry erase board case.

I gave him a sharpie and he signed: to my bestfriend -

"Lani" I said

-Lani.

I almost fainted then I got mad.

"Don't be writing that on other hoes phone cases" I said.

"Well....okay" August said loudly, pulling me away.

Ty smiled and waved at me as I left.

"Emotional crazy pregnant ass" he said.

I followed him to a room in the back. My dad was in there.

"Hey. That's my dad!" I said pointing at him

"Yes...it is." Daddy said.

They shook hands and August went in the box thing.

The beat started and he started singing.

"I'm rollin in my 2 door
With these Scato bottles
Ciroc, Patrone and Scato
Get it, sippin now I'm trippin
I'm high
I'm having these visions of you
In the back of my mama Cadillac
We was young &wild
Havin fun, you was down for whatever
We're thinkin bout the trouble we would get into together
I'm wishin that it coulda ended better
But girl who are we foolin?
Baby nothing lasts forever"

The chorus filled in and he finished the song.

He walked out and my dad was writing stuff down.

"Hope you liked it. But....it wasn't about you. It's...old." He said smiling.

I nodded. "I loved it boy Jesus did good with you."

"Hol up." He walked back over to my Daddy.

They talked for a few minutes then we left.

"Kay Dad. I'll call you later."

"Bye honey! And call your mom for Pete's sake."

We walked out hand in hand.

I started singing the song he just sang.

"You're doing it wrong again." He said looking at me with a straight face.

I raised my eyebrow at him and we both busted out laughing.

"Shut up boy" I slapped his arm and we walked to the car.

When we got home I called my mom.

I hung up and set my phone on the table while running up the stairs.

"I made you an appointment for next Wednesday morning." He said.

"Wha-"

"9:30. At Dr. Siunye's. It's only ten minutes away" he said.

"Oh that's nice.August what do you want?" I asked.
"What?" He asked.

"A boy or a girl? How many? How many years apart?"

"Woah. Let's wait til we get done wit the first one. But it would be nice to have a girl for my nieces to play with."

I nodded my head.

"Ha name could be Mercedes, or Lyric, or Alani."

"Why? Where'd you get those from?" I asked.

"Mercedes because I like cars, Lyric because I'm a singah, or Alani because 'a' for August and 'lani' from your name."

I nodded, smiling.

"What if it was Lyric-Alani Mercedes Alsina."

"Wow. Okay. But what if it was a boy?"

"Tell me August. What do you think?" I asked laying my head on his lap.

" Melvin, or Audrian. Because of my brother and Audrian's nickname could be Audi, which is my favorite type of car."

"You just love cars don't you." I asked smiling.

He played in my hair.
"Yeah....I could've had about five of them right now but Chantel kept telling me no."

He shrugged his shoulders.

I laughed. "Thank God for sisters huh?"

"Speakin of sistas, do you have any siblings?" He asked.

"No...well I did have a brother. " I focused my eyes on the TV.

"What you mean 'did'?" He asked pointing my face towards his.

"He was shot a while back. He actually had graduated college in Ohio three years ago. After his open house he was killed. The killer was sent to jail but I never found out who it was. "

He shook his head as tears started to annoyingly form in my eyes.

"I'm sorry. I di-"

"Nah. It's alright. I learned to move on really. I mean duh sometimes, when its dark and rainy outside, and I'm all alone I talk to him. I tell him about my life and that. Last night I told him I was pregnant. Y' know he always wanted a niece."

"What wuh his name?" He asked.

I sat up. " Antonio."
