Everything happens for a reason (BOOK IS ON HOLD)

twenty-two

I walked ta the bathroom door seein Lee still straightening ha hair

I went back ta sit on the couch sighing loudly "You still ain't ready" I shouted out at her

"Just now baby" She said coming in the living room with her heels in ha hand

"I hope ya turned off the hot iron before you came out hea"

She rolled ha eyes slumpin down on the couch

She bent down ta put on ha heels

"Wea' you wanna go eat out?"

"Something soft and warming probably just wanna go to Starbucks" She shrugged

I got up grabbin' ha coat

I handed it ta ha as she stood up

"Need ta use the washroom before we go?" I asked

She shrugged shaking ha head no

I grabbed ha han walking ha out the front door

*
Afta we ordered I realized I forgot my wallet in the car but I promised Lee i'll pay

Lee didn't realize cause she was still lookin' at the menu

"I need to use the bathroom hold on" She said walkin' ta the restroom

"I knew it" I smirked as she walked off

"Oh shut up I didn't before" I heard ha call out

I told the cashier guy i'll be ri back ta get my money befo I made the people behind me go ahead

As I was walkin out the door I bumped inta someone

I looked up ta see Nikki

She laughed "I would say you're following me but you have too much pride for that"

As I was tryna walk past her she grabbed my arm

"August we seriously need to talk you can't be actually considering to wife that chick you have a baby with her yeah but I have no problem being a step mom. I love kids" She said as ha face softened

Nikki was genuine I could've seen us lastin' long if she didn't become a strippa but I couldn't blame ha she had ta do what she had ta do

"I 'preciate dat but I only got heart eyes fa one female. You're ship has sailed along time ago" I said shrugging

"What about us?"

Aaleeyah

I walked out the bathroom dusting off imaginary dust off myself

I looked around for August but I couldn't find him

I kept walking before I spotted him at the front entrance with another girl

I walked up to them grabbing August's hand looking at them

"Oh you must be his baby mama I'm Nikki, August's really good friend from school" She said holding her hand out for me to shake

"Did this bitch-"

August cut me before I said anything else "She ain't een worth it baybeh let ha leave.  she a stippa you a model look at the differences"

She had her mouth in a big O shape as if she was taken back

"Really August? Don't forget who had you when you were down not her but me" She said brushing August before walking out

"That bitch be remembering so much shit how bout I make her remember something else" I said about to go after her but August held me back

As she pulled off in her Ferrari August let me go

He rubbed his hands up and down his head sighing loudly

I looked at August awkwardly "What got you sighing?"

"Lee why did you come down here?" he shot up raising his voice

"What the fuck August seriously? Cause you were high school lovers your tryna be back on the shit? She's a stripper August don't get dumb she for the streets" I huffed walking away

He held my arm "Lee I ain't een mean it like dat"

I yanked my hand away "Go be with that bitch August I almost fought her for you but seems like even you ain't worth me losing my dignity for"

I said walking out Starbucks

This must be the biggest L he could take

I called a uber back to the hotel

He watched me get in that uber

I cried realizing he still has feeling for her

When I got to the hotel I packed me and Mar's bags, soon as I get back to Atlanta first thing i'm doing is finding me and Mar out own house

I can't do this floppy thing with Aug especially after allowing that bitch to disrespect me to my face

I checked the time seeing it was 5pm I shot Sneak a text
Hey T, I'm heading back to the A with Mar now you guys have you're fun can you tell me where you are now so I could grab her and go?

Aug never came back to the hotel so I could only think the worse

This is all verifying that he's not 100% into me as I thought he was

I sat in the hotel for hours waiting for a reply

I checked the time to see it was 8:30 They're all at the concert

I couldn't waste anymore time and be bothered

I just texted August before I head out to catch my flight
Im going back to the A now text me when you're back cause I booked a hotel for me and Mar to say in, just take care of my baby before you bring her back

*
As I aboarded my flight I suddenly felt weird without Mar being here

I became so attached to her my whole world revolves around her

I sighed feeling sleep take over
