Saving August

Would You Know

"Tia, open up. Please."

I knocked on Tia's door for almost twenty minutes, correct me if im wrong but I think she was a little jealous. She opened the door and folded her arms. I looked her up and down, she had a towel wrapped around her like she just got out the shower, or maybe she was going to shower, all I know is if that towel fell issa wrap.

"Uh, um-"

"What?" She shifted to her right leg.

"Im sorry, I know your mad."

"You don't know anything, all of a sudden im your wife? You kiss me."

"So you didn't like it?"

"I- im just saying-"

"Admit it, your jealous I know."

"Jealous? What? Me? No. You act like we're together, a kiss is a kiss, a kiss doesn't mean anything."

"It doesn't?" I stepped closer to her and she backed up a inch.

"No- I- I mean, It could but in our case."

"Our case?" I closed the door behind me not breaking eye contact and stepped closer again and she stepped back.

"August, im just here because im trying to stay safe okay? I don't think you want to-"

"I want to, so do you, I can see it. Your safe with me."

She pushed me and went to her door opening it. "August, I know what your trying to do okay? Obviously you've had a few drinks I smell it on your breath. Just leave, please."

I chuckled because I did have two glasses of Hennessy, and I was down to do anything at the moment, all she had to do is say the words.

When August finally left my room I locked the door and quickly put back on my clothes. I'd wash in the morning when he was sober just incase he tried something. Don't get me wrong, living with August is kind of tempting but at the same time, I don't know if this is dangerous for me, I mean someone shot at him, how do we know if they tried to kill him. We haven't talked about it much, he just tells me not to worry about it but if im living here, I think I should.
