Ain't nobody got it like me, did you forget that all these niggas like me? and they'd be lucky to let me be wifey, so how could you be so damn trifling? - Toni Romiti x Imma Dog Too

August A.

"Amen." everyone at the table said after Jace blessed the food.

We were having breakfast with Cierra, Chris and their daughter Jayla. Her and Jace were only a year apart.

"Have y'all talked to Reek any? You know it's around time for our annual trip." Cierra said.

"oh yeah. Where are we going this time?" I asked.

"Malorie had told me some places to choose from last week but I forgot." She said.

I looked over at Malorie, who just played around with her food.

"Malorie." Cierra said causing her to look up quickly.

"Hm?" she asked.

"What we're the places?" Cierra asked.

"Paris, Bora Bora or Hawaii." she said.

"I feel like we always go to a beach place, lets go to Paris." Chris said.

"I agree." Mal said.

"So I guess it's done. Paris is it." I said.

"You need help?" I asked Mal as she washed dishes.

Things were pretty awkward and I was hoping to get back to normal. Tomorrow is my first rehab session.

"Um, sure." she said looking up at me.

That was the 1st times she's looked me directly in the face since she's found out.

I don't know what I was thinking. I know the shit is addictive, yet I still let myself do it.

"You excited about Paris?" I asked.

"Duh, I've never been. I've always wanted to go." she smiled.

I just loved seeing her smile. She was still as beautiful as she was when I first met her.

"Uh huh." I smiled back. "I'm so thankful for you Mal."

She looked up at me and slightly smiled.

"August, I'll always see the good in you because I love you. I need you to keep that in my mind. I need you to keep on a straight path baby. You know I'm gone be in your corner rooting for you no matter what, but remember I'm only human. I can only take so much." she said.

"I promise you baby." I sighed pulling her into me. I missed the feeling of her in my arms and her lips against mine.

she looked up at me and pecked my lips, making me feel all warm inside. "I love you."

"I love you too." I said kissing her forehead.

After getting the kitchen cleaned up, we went into the living room and watched a movie.

"You know Lana's birthday is next week. I'm thinking about having a dinner in memory of her." she said looking up at me while laying in my arms.

"That's a good idea ma." I said grabbing her hand.

"I just miss her." she said as I played with her fingers.

During our honeymoon we decided to get tattoos of our rings on our ring finger. The tops of the rings had a crown that said "King" and "Queen".

"We all do. But she's in a better place." I assured her.

"Yeah, I know. Thankfully." she said.

We continued watching The Heat before hearing a loud thump.

Naturally, we popped up thinking it could've been Brelle, but after running upstairs we discovered we Brelle was safely in her crib sleeping.

Next we checked on Jace, seeing him knocked out as well.

"The hell?" I mumbled.

"Peaco?" Mal yelled.

Seconds later the mutt ran towards us covered in something wet.

"What the fuck?" I said.

Malorie laughed as I made a stank face.

"I told you we should've been got rid of him." I scoffed.

"What did he knock over?" she laughed going to look around while he stayed beside me. Once she left I squatted down to chat with him.

"Look ugly ass, you're not gone be here long. I'm dropping you off on the side of the road and I'm gone say you ran away." I said.

He just stuck out his tongue and licked my knee.

I scoffed as Malorie walked back into the hallway.

"He just knocked over a vase." she said in a baby voice causing me to roll my eyes.

I can't stand this damn dog. I still don't know why she named him Peaco.

Malorie A.

"Good take." I told Jeremih. "I'll be back."

I took the elevator down to the lobby so that I could get a few papers. But on the way I ran into a body.

"Damn, I'm sorry ma." I deep voice said looking at me.

I looked up to see a brown skin with pretty teeth and was tattooed.

"It's fine." said beginning to continue to walk.

"In a rush?" he asked with a smile.

I looked back to make sure he was talking to me.

"Kind of. I have a artist waiting for me." I said.

"Oh..." he said letting his eyes roam my body. "I'm DeSean."

"I'm Malorie." I said feeling uncomfortable. I didn't like anybody looking at me like this besides August.

"I know who you are ma. August is a very lucky man." he chuckled.

"Um, yeah. well I have to go." I said turning to get my papers.

I felt watched.

"See you around." he smirked before disappearing on the elevator.

Weird.
