Kylani's POV

"Do a handstand, could you do a handstand / flip

that money make it do a handstand / I can make

him scream like a summer jam band / where are the

bands / where my rubber men"

My music was interrupted by a message coming through then picked back up. Tiff was at home with me so I had no clue who it could be but it didn't matter at the moment. I was enjoying my relaxing bath. I had the lights dimmed with a few candles lit. No matter what kind of day I had, this would always relax my body and mind. Pretty Rickey's "So Confused" started playing and I was singing along with the song and really jamming. I love listening to songs from back in the day while I'm in the tub or the shower. I never had a specific reason why, I just do.

Once I got out the tub and did everything I needed to before I got in the bed, I stopped my music and unlocked my phone to see who texted me.....August? What made him text me after all this time? I guess I'll find out in the morning. I'm too relaxed to have a conversation with him, not knowing where it's going.

The next day...

After getting done with all of my clients, I headed home to go to the spa with Tiffany so we can get in some us time and catch up. "TIFF!!! You ready?" "Yeah. Here I come," she yelled. When she came out of her room, we headed straight to the spa and checked in for our appointments. As we were sitting in the chair getting our nails done, I decided to let her know that August hit me up last night. "The strangest thing happened last night."

"What?"

"I, out of nowhere, get a message from August."

"What did he want?"

"Nothing really. Just saying that he saw me last night and thought he was trippin. But I told him he wasn't and he basically asked me what I've been up to."

"Did you tell him you were staying here now?"

"Yeah. I'm not hiding from him."

Later on that day, we went to this club that was having a dance hall/reggae night and I love me some dance hall music so of course we went. When we walked through the door Sean Paul's "Get Busy" was playing and I instantly started dancing while making my way to the middle of the floor with Tiffany, Marissa and Sammie following me. We were getting it. I was so into the music that I felt like there was no one else in the room. When Shanell's "I Fell In Love With The DJ" came on, I started really singing to Tiffany and dancing my ass off. I felt somebody grab my hips so I turned around and found August standing there smiling. I'm not gone lie, any other time this would be an awkward moment but I was so into the music and having a good time that I just danced with him. Even though I didn't wanna leave, we decided to leave early to go to this other club that August was doing an appearance at. We followed August and walked in to his VIP area, of course, and got started with the drinks. When the dj played "Trina's "Da Club", I got excited and me and Tiffany started rapping and singing not missing a word. I was so into it I thought I was Trina in a music video somewhere. Yall probably caught on to the fact that anytime a song come on that I like I really get into it. Ain't that what you do when your song comes on? Then Usher's "Lil Freak" came on and by the time the chorus came August was in my ear singing. I laughed and went along with it. Why not? So we were singing to each other and dancing. When it got to Nicki's part and I turned to Sammie. We were rapping to each other and I knew August didn't take his eyes off of me. I turned back to him and started singing and dancing with him again.

When the night ended, we left the club and started walking towards the cars. "So what were you doing at a dance hall party? I mean I know you from New Orleans and yall like upbeat music too but I wouldn't take you as a dance hall guy." He laughed. "I dabble. But we saw that it was jumping and decided to check it out. I didn't see you until I took a picture with somebody and saw you in the background."

"Then you decided you were gonna walk up on me and grab me by my hips."

"Nah. I actually stood there and watched you for a lil minute. Then I decided to grab you by your hips." He smiled and I laughed. When we got to the car, everybody said their see you laters. August walked me to Marissa's car and gave me a hug. "Will I go another month or so without hearing from you," he asked. "I don't know. Will you?" We smiled at each other as I got into the car, and he watched us leave.

Marrisa and Sammie decided to stay at me and Tiffany's so we could have a little sleep over. When we got done showering and getting dressed we all sat in the living room on the pillows we had sat in a circle on the floor. We had our snacks and decided to drink water for the rest of the night. Sammie looked at me and said "you and August just need to gone and fuck already." I gave her a "what the fuck" look with a slight smile cause it was kind of funny how it came out of nowhere. "I'm forreal." We just laughed. I wasn't taking her drunk ass serious even though I knew she was being honest. "Why don't yall just see where it goes," Marrisa asked.

"Why is me and August the topic of this conversation right now? Can we change the subject?"

"Hell naw," Sammie said, "especially after how yall were all up under each other and shit tonight." I laughed and shook my head.

"Naw but forreal Lani, he's obviously really feeling you. Why don't you just give it a try to at least see where it goes," Tiffany asked.

"I don't know. After that whole incident that happened, I don't know if I can trust him on that level yet."
