Saving August

Look At How Far I've Come

I opened my eyes to the smell of bacon, not just any bacon, turkey bacon. I looked at my phone and I had 80 missed calls and 30 text messages . All from Zeke, luckily I didn't have to work today because I had nothing, no work clothes, no night clothes. Nothing at all. I crept out of the bedroom and when I got closer to the kitchen I heard low singing, it was beautiful if you asked me.

"Morning." He spoke first making me startling me, how did he know I was even in the kitchen.

"Good morning."

He turned around and dropped the plate and I jumped grabbing my chest. "Damn it."

"Is something wrong?"

"No, no I just... I wasn't expecting you to look like that."

"Am I ugly?"

"No, hell no. You just got out the shower?"

I nodded and he kept sweeping up the broken glass.

-

Tia was absolutely stunning, her chocolate skin and her long natural hair, she looked Ethiopian, I didn't care what she was, she was fine as hell. picture or Tia in mm and because she just got out the shower her hair hung below her shoulders in small curls some loose curls. Her faced had cleared up a tad bit, she looked nothing like this morning.

"You look good."

"Really because I just got out the shower."

"Nothing wrong with that, hey I was going to ask you about your job, do you work today?"

She shook her head no, sitting at the high top table, her thick thighs being exposed from the t-shirt I lended her that stopped just above her knees. "Im trying to figure out how am I going to get my things."

"Your things? Your moving in?" I joked and I could tell she got embarrassed.

"No, im sorry August I really don't know what im doing right now."

"Tia, its okay I was only joking. You can stay as long as you want." It was a knock on the door and he got up from his seat to answer it. I heard a girl voice then it got louder, not too long after that she was standing in the kitchen.

"You leave me for her! Are you serious right now August."

"Rhonda its not even-"

"Don't, you just wait until I tell my brothers about this, you'll be sorry. Just let me get the rest of my bath and body works so I can leave you and your new bitch to yourself."

"Bitch? Wait who you calling a bitch?!" I stood up to defend myself because with all the shit that was going on at this point in life I didn't care anymore, if anyone wanted to beat my ass have at it.

"You, bitch! You heard me, i'll drag your ass across this floor you lil dirty hoe!"

"ALRIGHT! Rhonda! Leave!" August stood in front of me while Rhonda huffed and puffed like she was about to pop shit.

"Im out, August. My brothers got your ass."
