{Chapter XII: You Da One, 6:44pm, Sunday, October 11th}

Im finally off of work. I hate working at Walmart. I should really ask Jason if I could get a job as Secretary or sumn at his record label because this shit at Walmart, got me at that point where I wanna curse everybody out. After I clocked out I soon went back to me and Kayc's apartment. She had just left to the club. I'm guessing she got her job back. Naomi is with my moms so I guess it's just me, myself, and I tonight.

I lit candles through out my home to save energy. Lord knows I don't need another 200 dollar light bill. I walked in to my room and stripped all the way down. I wrapped myself in my robe as my iPhone dinged and flashed twice.

I flipped over my phone to see a random number across the screen. Hmm I wonder who this could be. I unlocked my phone and read the message.

(504)619-2088:  This my number baby girl, lock it in.

I smiled to myself, and locked his number in typing in the name "August A." Me and August really hit it off yesterday.  When I first saw him I thought he would be one of those stuck up guys that are overly confident that flirt with every girl they see. But once I got to talking to him. He is actually really chill.

I've been finding myself thinking about him ever since I helped him yesterday in the attic. I didn't think he was going to hit me up tho. So I'm a little suprised by that.

Me: I got you 😘

August A.: What you got going tonight.

Me:  I'm staying in tonight. Netflix 'n chilling 

August A.: With who?

Me: myself, lol why you worried your not here.

August A.:  I wanna be.

I smiled at my phone so hard. This boy knows exactly what to say to make me feel... idk special?

Me: lol ight, no funny business

August A.: I promise

Me: your so ugly for that emoji.

August A.:  What you talking about, that emoji sexy just like daddy 😉 where you stay at ma?

Me:  243 Cinnamon Hill Dr. Just let your self in.

I set my phone down and wrapped my hair into a tight ball on top of my head as I made my way into the bathroom to take a shower.

After I finished I wrapped the robe back around me and walked in to the living room. No one was there.

I got dressed in some tight booty boy shorts and a big oversized T shirt. I started to brush my long wavey hair. I ended up putting it back in a messy but cute bun. I lotioned up in Victoria Secrets "Hypnotized" and sprayed on some "Rush" Body spray.  Right as I heard a knock at the door.

I looked at myself and winked. I slid on my house shoes and made my way  to the door and opened it slightly. August smiled when he saw me and I smiled back as I let him in.

"I thought since we Netflix 'N Chilling we should do it the right way. I got a box from pizza hut. It got pizza, breadsticks and wings. I didn't know what you liked so I got pepperoni and sausage." He said setting the box down on the coffee table.

"They are both my favorite, but thanks love." I said and plopped down on the couch beside him, and turned on Netflix. It wasn't long before he got tired of me scrolling and grabbed the remote from me.

"Hey what you doing ugly" I said looking at him leaning on me.

"Girl , you gon get enough of calling me ugly." He said with a smirk that just instantly made me weak.

I giggled. "What ever, so what does my brothers got you doing down here?"

August

I shifted my self off Jhené's lap. "Well as of right now your brother Jason is looking to make me an artist... let's see how far that for goes."

She looked at me and nodded with a small smile. " That's good but you know, I can tell whether or not you make it far"

I snapped my head over at her and looked at her funny and raised my eyebrow. "and how is that?"

She laughed "boy don't look at me like that," she smiled as my facial expression softened and I smiled with her "Its simple. Show me what you got" she added as she shifted her self in the chair so that she was giving me her full attention.

"Damn you making me nervous" I said and looked down. "How I know ya not go steal my flo or sumn " I speak to her letting my new Orleans accent slip out, causing her to laugh.

"I'm not I'm not, I just wanna see your talent. It must be good because Jason is picky." She spoke. "How bout this, you sing and I'll harmonize off of you." She got up and went to the back. She came back in with a brown guitar. She sat right back next to me, and looked at her guitar before twiddling her fingers making the strings release a beautiful Melody. It sounded so soft that it could be a lullaby.

I nodded my head slowly trying to get the feel of the cords she was playing. Then I tapped her to let her know I was ready then I started to clear my throat. [Press Play & Read]

She say she
Love me she
Wanna be with me all the time
And yo girl keep tellin me we meant to be
Beggin me to put it in her lifeee
Cuz I know how to handle that
There ain't no denying that
Stop all of your crying, if you want me to I'll handle that
You must be her bodyguard cuz I see you trying hard
And she fallin for me nothin you can do bout that.

You da one that sent yo girl ma way
Wasn't on your shit so I took your girl away
Now she ma bad girl I make her misbehave
Used to be yo girl but now your girl is mine.

You da one that sent to girl ma way
Wasn't on your shit so I took your girl away
Now she ma bad girl I make her misbehave
Used to be to girl but now she's mi-i-ne
mi-i-ne.

After Jhené stopped playing the melody I started to laugh. "That was hilarious!" I say and look at her then smile.

"Your a mess for the lyrics" she laughed. "But your harmony is good. I love it, maybe you do have talent. " She said laying her guitar down and going in the pizza box for a slice.

"Maybe? Tuh... girl I got talent. Just wait until your brother release this new song we been working on."

She nodded. "Imma look out for it no doubt. " She said then looked at me smiling.

I lick my lips and look down, then back up at her. "you were good too, your guitar skills are cold"

"I know." she said in a cocky way. 

"Don't get cute, because you think you did sumn" I say laughing.

"Boy I did do something," she looked at me and smirked. I would be lying if I said it didn't turn me on not even a little bit.

"You lucky cocky is cute on you." I say picking up my sprite, twisting the cap off and sipping it. Letting the crisp flavor rejuvenate me.

"What's that supposed to mean?" She asked.

"Dont worry bout it ma, you good."

We sat there for a while bullshitting and just talking. Having a good time. Before we actually decided to watch Netflix. She ended up putting on the movie The Purge. Because we both hadn't had the chance to watch it.

She got up to blow all the candles out and when she came back, I laid my head in her lap and stretched my body out along the couch.

"Boy ya head heavy." She announced as she ran her fingers along my ears in like a massaging motion.

It was low-key putting me to sleep. And before you know it I was out like a light.
