Pink Champagne [August Alsina]

Chapter 18: Secrets

Paris's POV

-FEW DAYS LATER-

Me and Reina drove down to my job. She said that she would take my car and stay in the area until I got off.

"I'll see you later girly!" Reina shouted before getting back into my Range Rover and driving off.

Me and Reina have gotten really close the past few days... She's actually really sweet.

I went through the back door and felt someone watching me. I turned around and saw a shadow by the trees. "Who's there!" I shouted. I heard twigs snapping then from the trees emerged Maria... Toronto's so-called "girlfriend".

"What do you want?" I asked tapping my foot, clearly annoyed by her presence. "I would just like to let you know now, August is mine, don't forget that. You might think he doesn't even know about me, but honey, we go waaay back." She said slyly. "Bitch, leave me alone. Believe whatever the hell you want. Suuuure August is yours. " I said calmly before going into the building, making sure to slam and lock the door.

Maria's POV

What?! She wasn't even going to argue back?! Ughhhh! That takes out all the fun! I poured to myself.

My plan was going smoothly. Soon enough, August would be mine. I was his first love. Of course, I left him for Toronto, but seeing him at the movies that day, especially with her not only pissed me off, but old feelings came flooding back in.

Flashback

"August, I'm in love with someone else. Sorry, but I can't do this." I said nonchalantly. Me and August had been together since his brother, Melvin, died. I was always there for him. But I lost feelings for him after I met Toronto. My mind went back to the night we met at the bar. He was so tall and handsome. He even offered me a job.

"Maria... Alright." He said. Why wasn't he going to say anything else? He just stood there! He didn't even bother to stop me from leaving.

I stood outside the door. Waiting for him to come running after me telling me never to leave him or something like that. But no. He just stood there. His back to me, as if waiting for me to say something instead of the other way around.

"By the way... I've been cheating on you this whole time." He said calmly.

WHAT?!

Tears welled up in my eyes. But before I could say or do anything, he had slammed the door in my face, leaving me there on his porch, sobbing.

Was it the right choice to leave him? Should I just run back on there and confess that I truly love him?

Flashback over.

After we broke up, that was when he went into the drug business as his escape... Or at least that's what I think. It gave me a sliver of hope that what happened between us really did take a toll on him, as well as me.

I rolled my eyes at the door that Paris went into and walked off. "This plan should work perfectly." I told myself as I went to go find my car.

Paris's POV

I can't believe she showed up at my job. Psycho ass bitch.

I went inside and sat down on my desk. The girls would ask what was wrong but I would ignore them or tell them something like "I'm sick" or "Having a bad day..."

-LATER-

I left work upset and tired. I had a bad feeling about going home just yet so I stayed out a bit longer. When I did eventually go home with Reina, she said that she was going to go stay with Jaiden for a little while. She got out of my car and walked over to August's house. I unlocked the door and went straight upstairs, blowing off August completely. I wasn't in the mood to talk. Maybe later.

August's POV

Something was up with Paris that I didn't know anything about. I was going to get to the bottom of it sooner or later. I didn't dare bother her tonight so I went out.

I pulled up to the jewelry store, Jared, an got out. I was going to propose to Paris at the baybeh shower. Everything else was in place, I just needed to get a ring.

I waited for the woman to come back out with the ring. I stole one of Paris's rings so I could figure out her finger size. I got her a chocolate diamond engagement ring and a diamond necklace for her birthday since it was coming up too. I went outside to find her leaning on my car. My face dropped as she looked at me with a smirk.

"I love you August..." She said pushing herself onto me. "Hoe, get off me. I have a great gal at home." I said pushing her out of the way. "Oh, I know all about little Miss Paris!" She said evily. I sounds around and grabbed her by her neck, slamming her against the wall. All I could see was red and I wasn't about to hear none of it. I dropped the bag on the ground and tightened my grip on her.

Her face turned purple and I let her go. She fell on the concrete with a thud. She coughed a few times until her natural skin color came back. She reached into her pocket and pulled out pictures. She held them put to me. I snatched them away from her and examined them. My heart stopped. There were pictures of Paris in the shower, at her job, even in her car. I stared at the pictures. As if a reflex, I pulled out my gun and shot Maria twice. Her body slumped over. I had parked behind the building, so no one saw. I heard screamed from the parking lot in front of the building, and decided to take the back way out. I picked up the bag with stuff that I bought for Paris. I opened my door and climbed in, flinging the bag in the passenger seat and sped off.

It had to be Toronto. Word on the street was that he was getting out of jail soon. I would have to pay him a visit, before he could get to Paris.

Paris's POV

I yawned and sat up, feeling better already. I went downstairs to find August on the couch, just like before I went to sleep. I walked seductively over to him and sat on his lap. His eyes shut up to me. He stared me deeply in the eyes as if  he had been hiding something. I thought I saw a look of guilt wash over his face, but when I blinked once, his demeanor changed and he was smiling. Your eyes are playing tricks Paris... Just imagining things. I thought to myself.

👌

Woooooahhh! August went through with it huh? Will he tell Paris what he's done or keep it to himself? Toronto better watch out...
