Chapter 23

*January 1st/ New Years*

Nala
I spent New Years Eve at my fathers house and watched as my aunts and uncles got drunk. Now it was New Years Day and they were coming back tonight. Recovering never felt so good, I've been at my dads for a month now.

I had seen August twice since I've been here, he's been away for a month on some business trips. I miss him so much and I barely get to talk to him. Every time I call him he has to go because of "business".

He sent me $8,000 on Christmas and brought me a beautiful diamond ring. When my dad seen who the package was from he just rolled his eyes but he seen the biggest smile on my face.

August said he was going to pick me up tonight because he just got back in town. At 8:00 I'll be standing there waiting for him in something special. The boy promised me he'd be here but since August has been away somethings changed about him.I didn't know what it was but I could hear it in his voice. Maybe I just really missed the kid.

August
"Sorry boo yeah I lie to you but don't you lie to me.
It's Lil Kodack the finesse kid, boy who hot as me.
Told the doctor I'm a healthy kid I smoke broccoli."

Ayeeeee Kodak got me vibing in this new Aston Martin V12 Vantage. I slid to my house to change my clothes and get ready to pick Nala up soon.

It was New Years and I hadn't seen my baby in 1 month. I really missed babygirl, I can't wait to hold her.

I hoped out the car and went to go find the new tux I told my maid to order. I walked into my house and it seemed a little different than before. I really couldn't tell because maybe I was just tripping but something felt wrong.

I walked passed my living room and walked back over. I seen my VCR that I use to have in my storage room out and plugged up. Who was playing with it?

I went over and seen a VCR tape sitting out that said play me. I turned of the tape and pressed play.

"Well well well August Alsina you have a magnificent home. All these bedrooms but barely any paintings tatata, you have to do better than that. Oh and don't worry your maids weren't here when I made this, fix your back door by the way."

"Now I was recording this message so that you can come see me, tonight. I don't have much time but if you don't come, sigh you'll regret it. Don't have me waiting."

This no good dirty ass nigga came in my house. In my rooms probably, I felt myself starting to shake.

I went into the kitchen poured me a cup of Henny and swallowed it down. This the same nigga who's been torturing me and my come up, but why? What does he want from me? I know I said I was gonna pick Nala up but tonight's just not the night.

3 hours went by as I sat here in this glossy, opening Balmain maxi dress. Every 5 minutes I would get up and look out the window, but he wasn't coming. I was so upset. How could he do this to me? He promised.

My aunts and uncles and cousins were all dancing in the living room. My cousin Natalie told me to come and join the soul train line they created. I shook my head and laughed, maybe this would help me forget about this nigga.

As I started to walk to the living room the door bell rang. I rushed over and looked out the peep hole.

Tiffany ? What the hell was she doing at my damn house. I went to my closet and put on my adidas sneakers. I don't have time to play games.

I opened the door and walked outside. What the hell you want ? "To talk Nala, I just wanted to apologize for everything I've done. Can we talk more at my car."

Sure Tiffany. I walked over to her car it was dark and muggy. Now what did you want to talk to me about ?

"This." She bashed my head on her car door and I began to start dragging her ass. I held her by her throat, "you no good bitch."

I felt a man grab me by my arm and then a bag went over my head. "Bout time you got hear baby." I heard them talking about something when I felt my eyes drifting.

August
I walked up the steps into this big ass house. It was huge, bigger than mine. Some dudes were in front of me showing me where to go.

We took two left turns, a right, another left turn and the last right. I walked into see a man with his feet kicked up turned in the other direction. "Boss he's here."

"Excellent, Excellent glad you come to the celebration August." Celebration? Who was this man? What does he want? "I don't get a hello?"

I raised my eye brow and slowly said hello. "Ahh that's better. So how is your life August.?" Fine why? "Are you sure?"

Man I'm positive what's with all these questions. "Just like to ask a few. Do you know why your here?" No who the hell are you? "I know your not raising your voice at me, one snap and I'll have you finished forever."

I'm sorry man but do I even know you ? "August come on my main man, you know me. You help me start that little business out in wherever it's called. You let me have it." yeah your the nigga who's been stealing my game? What the hell you want man? Why you bothering me?

"I'm more than just that boy." Who the fuck are you, stop waisting my fucking time man. "You really don't know me haha, I'll give you a little hint."

He turned on his projector and started showing pictures of him and this little boy. At the beach, arcade, joyriding and him crying at the park.

Man that's cool you got a kid and all but who are you ? "Well damn you still don't know who I am?" I started to get frustrated and wanted to just pull for my gun.

"I can't believe my own son doesn't remember his old man."
He was my father.
