Only Angel

~Chapter 4~

Genevieve's POV

August was cooking some late night food, I offered to help him but he declined and I walked back to the living room.

I sat watching some late night show until a whiff of bacon hits my nose and I immediately get up to the kitchen and my mouth instantly watered.

He grinned at me and served me my favorite snack, cheesy bacon fries, We began to eat in silence as I tried to forget everything going on, but I couldn't.  A man that I knew for 3 years broke my heart and hurt it badly.

I picked up my phone as it vibrated, 7 missed calls of Michael, 1 missed called from Mariana and bunch of messages from Michael again.

Before I could read the messages August snatched my phone out of my hand."Gene, just forget everything for a while and eat my five star meal." he said as he gave me a small smile.

After we finished eating we were in his living room watching movies until I grew tired.
"Hey August, can I spend the night?" I asked

"Yeah of course! I got some extra clothes for you if you don't want to sleep in your dress." he said standing up and going to the guest room.

I followed him and he gave me some shorts and a white V-neck shirt.

I giggled," Why do you have a bunch of women clothes in here?" I said as I looked at the closet that was half filled of women clothes.

he looked at me and laughed "from all my lady friends that come over, they always seem to leave something behind in the Mornings." he said as he wiggled his eyebrows.

"What! I ain't gonna wear some other women's clothes that you took off her." I said.

He chuckled "don't worry I washed them".

I shook my head and took them from him and closed the door of the room after we bid our good nights.

I took a shower and changed into the clothes August gave me and laid on the bed.

I tried to forget everything that happened but it was hard I just prayed it was all a bad dream.I soon felt my eyes get heavy and I fell asleep.

_________

I was awoken by the smell of pancakes. I got up from my bed and into the bathroom and realised this wasn't a bad dream but reality.

As I got out the bathroom I heard rap music booming through the whole apartment.

"the hell." I muttered as I made my way into the kitchen.

I saw August cooking while dancing "What are you doing!?" I said scaring him

"damn you scared the hell out of me." he said turning back around to the stove.

I laughed at him "I'm sorry."

"sorry my ass." he said turning off the music and putting our plates on the table outside the balcony.

"Breakfast is outside on the balcony." he said as I followed behind him.

"wow were so high up! I love this view." I said looking around the whole LA city amazed.

"Reason why I bought the place." he gestured with his hands. I was almost done eating my pancakes and I served us a cold glass of orange juice.

We were eating in silence enjoying the view watching the cars from below us. 

"so when are you leaving?" he asks taking a sip of his orange juice.

I looked at him and laughed dryly
"damn you really want me gone."

"no I'm just curious." he said

I checked my phone time to show it was 9:07 am and I had to eventually go home.

"hey, August is it okay if I leave here around 11?, I just don't want to see Michael right now and around 11 is when he's at the studio."

"that's fine, but your lucky I don't work today." He said pointing a finger at me.

"Thanks." I said as I patted his head which made him smile.

"oh...um.. I have to tell you something." I said as I got up going to the kitchen.

He followed me and took his plate to the dishes. "What is it? you can't be pregnant because you already told me that."

I looked at my hand and then at the ring that was placed on my finger.

" Well I got a call yesterday from New York and they told me they had a really good job opportunity for me there."

"your kidding right?" He said in disbelief

"nope, I just have to go to NY for a year working as a designer and from there I'll transfer back here eventually.

"What about Michael?" he asked

I sighed heavily,
" I don't know I haven't told him yet."

I didn't know what to do. My fiance cheated on me with my best friend and I'm pregnant with his child. I'm also suppose to go to New York this week. I just felt like breaking down. Tear escaped my eyes as I ran my finger through my hair.

August scooted his chair next to me and hugged me.
"shh don't cry, you just have to wait and see Gene but when you leave here today I want you to get packed, go on the plane, and fly to NY pregnant or not, because Genevieve this is your dream and I want you to pursue it."

I stayed silent "I can't move on and forget him I-I love him ." I said as he hugged me.

I stayed hugging him "Gene...before I forget are you gonna keep the baby?" he asked.

I let go of him and wiped my tears
"Of course I will."

August put his hand on my shoulder patting it before he stood up and comforted me.

We spend most of the morning watching TV shows and making jokes that made me forget everything that happened until August bought up the conversation we had earlier
"Do you want to have a boy or girl?"

I looked at my small bump and smiled
"I would love to have a boy, but if it's a girl I would be equally happy the same because either way a baby is gonna come out of me."

he laughed "you'd be a great mom."

"I know I will." I said confidently

I checked my phone and saw that I had to leave "hey I gotta go" I said putting my phone in my back pocket.

He groaned "why do you gotta leave so early?"

"First you want me to leave and then you don't! You know I got stuff I have to do." I said putting my dress and heels in a bag.

"August you got some sandals or something I can wear." I asked

" Yeah, by the door but don't you lose them their Versace they cost me a lot of money." he said as he walked towards me.

I opened the door sighing before looking at August  " Thank you for everything."

He gave me a sincere smile " your welcome, now I'm gonna be lonely today."

I chuckled opening the door about to walk out until August said something.

" I promised your parents that I would always protect you. After what happened to them I made it my job to take care of you. For nobody to ever hurt you, but I pretty much broke that promise didn't I?"

I looked at him giving his a small broken smile,
" You didn't break that promise. You did take care of me and you still do, but nobody hurt me physically they only hurt me emotionally but I have a feeling it gonna be both."

He smiled lightly before hugging me "And I'll be there to fight them."
