Maya moves to New Orleans to start a fresh after her parents' death. She stumbles across her neighbour, August, and falls head over heals for him. How will they cope with the losses they will endure and the obstacles they will face? Will she really...
I won't bore you with the gory details of my despair throughout the seemingly endless day. I sat in the passenger seat of August's car driving way beyond the speed limit, bickering over his disgust of British grime, when deep down I knew he loved it.
Truth be told i never let go of my home when I arrived in New Orleans ; and no matter how in love I am with the beautiful creature beside me, no matter how happy and secure I now am, I am not at home here. I am not at home without them.
"This shit is wack, I o'ughta make your British ass walk to Esther's crib, fuck outta here with that bullshit" august cackled, dimples showing and pearly whites glistening in the reflection of the sunlight blaring through the windows of his car. I just laughed,
"You so mad that you were playing Mostack in the shower, I am your neighbour you know!" I smirked proudly as his eyes widened due to him being caught out.
"I-i don't kno-" he trembled, searching for the right words .
"Not so loud when you caught now are ya, 'I got a phone call, my paigon got touched I weren't at the crime scene, I was in a hot tub" I mimicked his generic yet musical NOLA accent as we pulled up to Esther's door. "This not over" I smirked at him as I bent down to close the door. "Shut up mama, come here" he said before he pulled me in for a kiss.
"Every fucking time" grumbled Esther from behind me, laughing at us. "Don't get mad shawty, you know i can get you one of my boys. I see the way Malcom be staring" he smiled menacingly, knowing exactly what he's done.
"Boy, say some smart shit like that and you really gonna get choked...again" she glared at him as he laughed. "Call me when you're home baby" he winked kissing me again, making sure to grab my ass firmly and stick his tongue in my mouth to spite her. "Boy you play too much" I giggled, playfully pushing his toned body away from mine- trying to mask the giddy feeling that erupted due to the contact. "Love you Maya" he yelled as he pulled off, zooming down the road. "Love you too baby" I whispered to myself.
(Later that day....)
"How's life with lover boy" she repeated for the sixth time in the last hour.

"The same as it was seven minutes ago" I rolled my eyes playfully. "What about you, any boys caught your eye?" I raised an eyebrow. "I'm not one of these basic bitches that needs a man to be happy, a man doesn't bring happiness- in most cases it's the complete opposite, especially with these uneducated school boys." She laughed, as she soon caught onto my skeptical facial expression. "Not like that" she defended "you were lucky enough to find someone you connect with at such a young age, he really loves you and it's clear to see, and no one can break apart your connection.
I just think that something you have isn't found everyday and I'm patient enough to wait for my blessing." "I understand" I said with a nod "wise words" I crack a smile.
"You've known eachother since you were 8, and you've been inseparable ever since. The only male I have had that experience with is Joshua, and I'll be damned if I let that bum ass boy get the better of me" she laughed a true and loud laugh, causing me to join her. I really do love my bestfriend.
