Arabella
I slid on my black heels and hummed a little song as August paced around the room. "Baybeh' come on na'." August said frustrated. He was excited for his party and didn't wanna be late. "Baby just a minute." I said pulling the last roller from my hair. "I'm ready." I said cheesing at him. He bit his lip at my outfit and schemed me. He turned his lip up and caused me to frown. "You ain't goin' to no club with that on!" He said getting loud. I rolled my eyes and walked past him. He smacked my butt and I turned around watching him straight face me. It was 10:40 and the party starting 10 minutes ago. We rushed to the hummer outside waiting for us and quickly got in patiently waiting to arrive at the club. I could sense Auggie was just a little nervous. His palm was sweaty and he barely said a word. "You alright baby?" I asked looking at him. "Yea' I'm good baybeh." He said kissing my lips. We finally arrived to the club and there was so many people outside just waiting to get in. Now I was nervous. The door had been opened for August and I. He stepped out first then helping me out. He tangled our fingers together and we made our way inside. I could a few eyes on me. Some from men and others from females. I followed August inside to be met with music as loud as thunder...we were in the VIP. We were greeted by all of August business guys and he seemed so happy. We took a seat on the red coach and we were served with drinks. I didn't let go of August hand not once. I had never been around so many people. Mostly because I never had friends, but it is what it is. I watched everything and watched August as he smiled and goofed off with the guys. I was so proud of my baby. He had a gift for singing and he was using it.

August
I watch Bella as she cuddled up under me and rested. My baybeh was tired from the party. We really enjoyed ourselves. I rested my hand on her lower back and watched her as she slept. She was so beautiful, and mine. "Baby." I heard he say. "Yes ma." I replied back rubbing her back. "I think my anxiety and things are coming back and I'm scared..." She said with a small pause. I sighed and watched her as she sat on my lap straddling me. "I'm gonna be okay though baby." She said before kissing my nose. I didn't wanna argue because I cared about her health, and didn't want her upset at me. I heard a small knock at the door and both Bella and I's heads turned to the door. She went to the door opening it and started to laugh. Bronxie was running into the door and it tickled Bella so much. Her laugh was so cute.

I took a swig of my alcohol loving the stingy feeling it gave my throat. I was trying to lay this track and shit was frustrating me. I had a tour coming up, which I still had to tell Bella about. It was going on 12 am and I only had a few drinks. I wasn't drunk, but I did have a buzz. I grabbed the keys to my car and shut everything down. I started the engine and made my way home. It was driving a little over the speed limit, well...maybe a lot. I made it home within minutes. I unlocked the door and it felt good to be home after such a long day. I walked inside the kitchen and there was a wrapped plate inside the microwave with the light above it. I unwrapped the plate and warmed it up in the microwave. Greens, yams, chicken, rice, and cornbread. Damn, baybeh threw down today. I waited on the microwave to ding and I checked to see if my food was warm. I walked into the dining room and flicked on the lights. "Shit!" I yelled seeing Bella sitting at the end of the table drinking a glass of wine. "You scaed' me baybeh." I said looking at her before sitting at the opposite end. She grabbed her glass of wine and finished it before rolling her eyes at me and then making her way upstairs. Damn. I'm guessing I messed up again. I sighed before eating my meal, then jogging up stairs. I went inside the bedroom and noticed Bella not facing me like she usually did. Maybe I should give her some time. I grabbed my things and went into the bathroom before cutting on the shower. Once I handled my business, I climbed into bed wrapping my arms around Bella. She sucked in a huge breath of air before removing my arms away from her waist. What the hell. I flipped on the lights, and rubbed my hands on my face. "Bella." I called out multiple times. She didn't say a damn thing. I sighed feeling a headache come along. I cut off the light and just stared at the ceiling wondering what the problem was.
