August in MM
August

I relaxed in my bed by my myself. I didn't feel like goin' ta school today and I told Roni ta go because she been hea with me all weekend. I appreciated that she wanted ta keep my company but, she needed ta go ta school.

I heard somebody knock on the door and I rushed downstairs. I looked through the peep hole ta see Desire bitin ha lip. Awe hell. I contemplated on openin' it befo doin' so. "Hey August, can I come in?" 

I motioned fa ha ta come in. "Why you not at school?" I asked.

"I had some things to do today but that's not why I'm here."

"Okay, why you hea then?" I asked, folding my arms.

"I heard about Mercedes and I knew you were devastated so I came over here to check on you."

"Jala kno' you hea?"

"Yeah, I told her I was gonna check on you."

I raised my eyebrows at ha. I'm a grown ass man. "Thanks but...ion need nobody checkin' on me, I'm good."

She looked down and I felt bad for bein' rude ta ha. I was being rude ta everybody except Roni. "Yunno what? I'm sorry. I didn't mean ta come off rude. I jus ain't been feelin' good lately."

"It's fine. Hey, your hair's cute," she said, pullin' my hood off.

"Thank ya. I've been tryin' ta grow it out."

"Nice. I bought movies and snacks so we could just chill."

I thought about if fa a minute, and then I gave in. She walked outside and came back a few minutes later with hella bags.

"Damn. You went all out," I said.

She chuckled. "So, where do you wanna watch the movies?"

I was about ta take a huge risk but, I can contain myself. "Well we can watch them in my room since that's the only place with a DVD playa," I said, makin' my way towards the stairs.

She followed behind me until we reached my room. She took a seat on my bed while I put on a t-shirt. I picked up one of the movies and popped it in.

I took a seat next ta ha while keepin' a good distance.

Afta our 3rd movie, Desire had fallen asleep in my lap. I stared as she slept peacefully. All of a sudden ha eyes fluttered and she fully opened them and looked at me.

I gave ha a small smile. "Wassup sleepy head," I said.

"I'm sorry, I was tired." (Pic of Desire)

"It's cool."

We looked into each other's eyes before she sat up and kissed my lips. Reluctantly, I deepened it. I let my hands roam ha body and she helped me take off my shirt.
