Figuring It Out

Chapter Three

Same day
August,

I walked into the room where my manger, Mir, and her manager were waiting. "What's up?" I asked while sitting down. "What the heck were you doing with Gina last night?" Mir asked.

"She was just helping a nigga out last night. I was drunk and I ain't want to call your ass." I mentioned. She mugged me.

"Miracle is going to get a new makeup artist." Nina (her manager) said. "Don't take it out on ha take it on me." I said. She don't need ta lose ha job. "I don't want her as my makeup artist." Mir decided.

"I'm outta dis contract." I declared. "August you can't. It hasn't been three years yet." Tira (my manager) said. "I don't fuckin care about dat. Da only fuckin thing I need ta care about is figuring out who Gina is from ma past." I walked out. I need ta take a trip ta NOLA with Gina.

"August." Mir said. "Watchua want?" I questioned. "I've caught feelings and I hope we can continue the contract." She smiled. "I'm done with ya ass." I walked away. I headed toward Gina's crib.

The doorbell rang. I opened it. "Watchua want August?" I asked. "You gonna let me in. It's cold as a mutherfucker out here." He said.

"It ain't even cold." "Whatchua arguing fa?" He asked. I rolled my eyes and let him in. His accent is back. Atlanta ain't even cold. "Let's go ta NOLA tanight."

"No." "I wanna find some answers." "Do that alone. You don't need me." I spoke. I need ta really be done with his ass.

"I do. Ya know why ma mama hates me." I nodded. "Tell me." He stated. "August I can't." I said. "Yes ya can." He urged.

Why'd he gotta come back in my life?

"It's better if you don't remember me. I just need ta forget you." I said.

"Ima remember ya." "Please just go. I don't want to see your ass again." I looked to the door. "Aight." He left. I don't need him.

August,

Damn. I must've done something horrible ta ha fa ha ta act dat way. All I wanna do is find out what I did wrong so I can fix it. When I got ta ma crib I hit Travis up.

"What's up?" He asked. "All I know is dat me and Gina dated in da past." "What's up nigga?" Jamal came into view.

"Someone should please tell me who Gina is." I begged. A nigga be sounding so desperate. "You chea-" Jamal started. "Boy if ya don't let him figure it out." Someone dragged Jamal by his ear.

"Mama dat you?" I questioned. "She still ain't gonna talk ta you." Travis indicated. It has ta do with Gina. "Aight. Ima get on a plane tanight and I'a be there tomorrow." I told him.

Gina and August in mm. What do y'all think?
