SEQUEL TO: POSSESSIVE LOVE
A year into their lives, August finally decides to go after Aaliyah. He's in love more than he ever was.
One problem....
Aaliyah might have a change of heart.
I sighed contently as I drove out the hospital's parking lot. It's been a whole year and it just felt like I left a month ago. Things turned out good for me here, I finished my internship and I got good reviews so they decided to hire me full time.
Everything has been pretty good, Symone and Alex has visited a few times, and I kept my promise to Ms. Theresa and kept in contact with her. She's the mother I had hoped my mother would be, but of course she has yet to change. Theresa called me more than she does.
I haven't spoken to August since I left, not that I expected us to start talking again...not anytime soon anyways. Everyone has been keeping me updated on how he's doing. His mom said the first couple of months weren't easy on him. He wouldn't sleep and he would barely eat. I was so worried, I almost went back twice.
Mama Theresa moved in with him to make sure he was doing okay because she didn't want to loose another son. I knew it was hard on her to see her son like that but like the strong woman she is, she pulled through until August got a little better.
My love life is nonexistent. Not that I've tried dating, I've been busy with work and adjusting to being back in New York. Its really nice being back here and being away from the drama of that came along with being with August. I do miss him at times but other times I find myself relieved that I left when I did. Overall things have been great and I reconnected with a few old friends.
I drove slowly through the busy streets of Manhattan while listening to Rihanna's new album(Her new album is everything 😩😊👏). New York is a amazing place to live but the traffic is horrendous, other than that everything is good. Everything is close by and I have a great view of the whole city from my apartment. I pulled up in the apartment complex pulling into my parking space. I gather my things and took the basement elevator to the 7th floor.

I opened my door letting myself in, dropping my work bag and putting my shoes to the side. I felt so relieved to be home. I switched on the light-...
"Surprise." Everyone screamed scaring me half to death. Before I had a chance to catch my breath, I was attacked my Symone and Alexis.
"I miss you Aaliyah." Symone said kissing my cheek
"I missed you too Sym." I smiled hugging her tightly
"So, I get no love??." Alexis playfully glares.
"I literally saw you like a month ago." I laugh softly before pulling her in a hug.
"A month is a long time." She says with a smile.
"Look at my future daughter-in-law looking all professional." I heard a familiar accent say. I turned around to be greet my Ms. Theresa. I gasp running to her pulling her in a hug.
"How are you love?" She asks breaking the hug.
"Honestly, this is the best I've felt in months." I say and she nods kissing my cheek.
"Lili." Kay yelled jumping in my arms along with Amayila, and Chaylen.
I sigh contently, I haven't seen them in so long and they got bigger. I gave them each a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"I miss you guys."
"We missed you too." Chaylen pouts.
"I'm gonna go get dress and when I come back out we can hang out okay." I say and the nodded running back over to the TV.
"I already picked out an outfit for you." Symone winked going back to her conversation with Alexis.
I open my bedroom door too see the lights were already on and big gift box with a bouquet of roses next to it on my bed. I inched closer to my bed and tore the big red bow from around it. It was stuffed with red and white paper. A huge smile appeared across my face when I saw a big white teddybear. I and saw a large box of my favor chocolates, Ferrero Rocher with a note that say enjoy on it. I grab the last gift, a pandora gift set. I open the box and gasp when I saw the royal crown necklace set.
I searched for a note to see who the gifts were from and I found a small piece of paper with a familiar handwriting.
Happy Valentine's Day babygirl! I hope you like your gifts. x
