Other Side {Trilogy}

*Atlanta*

Mariah POV:

I woke up in a good fuckin' mood. While Aug was in tha shower, I was packin' my bag. While I was puttin' my stuff in it, my phone rung. I look at it and it's a numba I ain't recognize. Not like I'm in any deep, illegal shit. So I answer it...

*Call starts*

Me: "He-"

An operator starts talkin'

Me: "Tha fuck?" I said out loud

Operator: "You have an collect call from Chris. Do you accept the charges?" It continued

I juss stay quiet. I look back then at my phone. I put it up ta my ear

Me: "Yes"

I wait a couple seconds

Chris: "You accepted"

Me: "What do you want?"

Chris: "Just to talk. That's all. I would do it face to face. But tha way you got my freedom set up. I can't do that"

Me: "You need moe than four years"

I look back ta make sure Aug not out

Chris: "Baby, I'm-"

Me: "Don't call me dat"

Chris: "I wanna fix this, Mariah"

Me: "I don't"

Chris: "You know I love you, right?"

Me: "Well, I feel differently. Cuz I most definitely don't love you"

August: "What?"

I turn around and he raises his brow. I quickly turn around

August: "Who you talkin' on tha phone wit?" He mouthed

I ignored him

Chris: "You know you do. Baby, I'm really sorry"

August: "So na you ignorin' me?" He asked seriously

Me: "Look...I gotta go"

Chris: "Hold up"

Me: "What?"

Chris: "How's tha baby?"

Me: ".....She's fine"

Chris: "It's a girl?!"

Me: "Yea..."

Then I seen Aug ova my shoulder

Me: "I gotta go"

*Call ends*

August: "Who was dat?"

Me: "Nobody"

August: "Had ta be somebody unless you were talkin' ta yo'self"

I juss look at him

Me: "I was Chris"

He juss looks at me wit dis annoyed...slash...pissed off look. I take a couple steps and he grabs my hand

August: "Didn't I tell you not ta talk ta him?"

Me: "He called me. All he did was ask about tha beybe..."

August: "Dat beybe he fa'got about when he put his hands on you? He didn't care about chu bein' pregnant then. So, what make you think he give a fuck na?"

Me: "It was juss a simple ques-Too early fa dis, August. I know how quick you go from zero ta a million"

I walk towards tha bathroom. When I get ta tha doorway, he blocks it holdin' each side wit his arms up...

Me: "Will you move?"

August: "Riah, I'm tryin' ta protect you. Dats all. You might think otha wise. But, I'm tryna keep you from goin' back...ta dat mistake. My intention isn't ta annoy you. I juss wanna keep you you safe. It's all outta love..."

I juss look at him. He kisses my cheek then pecks my lips twice and I kiss back

August: "I love you"

Me: "I love you, too"

August: "I know you do. And I wanna make sure I keep hearin' dat from you. He's no good. Ion want him keepin' you away from me. Unsafe. Ion worry bout shit unless I have ta do so. And you...are what I worry about. On a daily..."

Dat made me smile

August: "Don't give in ta his bullshit. You're smarter than dat, beybe. A lot smarter than dat. Use yo head. You were blessed wit intelligence fa a reason"

He kisses my forehead and moves out tha way. Then smacks my ass

Me: "Tha hell?!"

August: "Dats fa talkin' ta Mr. Fuck Nigga..."

Then he does it again. I juss glare at him

August: "Dat was fa me..." He said as he smiled

I flip him off

August: "You did. Yestaday mornin' *smiles*"

Me: "You get on my nerves"

August: "I know!"

I walk in tha bathroom and close tha doe. But, he was right. Chris is gonna be gone fa awhile. So he has nun ta worry bout...

*Washington*

Chris POV:

She basically just hung up in my face. Not only that...Aug was in tha background! That kinda just pissed me tha hell off. We needa talk point blank. Without him around...

*Los Angeles*

Michael POV:

I haven't talked to Kayla since that whole situation. She was callin' and textin', but I never answered or replied. I changed my number. I didn't wanna talk to her or see her. She fucked up. But! It got me in tha middle even though I knew nothin' about it. So...Imma just do what I do. Done with relationships...

*Atlanta*

Kayla POV:

I'm so upset at myself and this whole situation in general. I really liked Aug. And Mike! But, Aug was where my heart was. I just hated tha fact he spent most of his time with Mariah! I need to talk to him. Hopefully he'll forgive me. But...Imma talk to her first....
