A Thug's Cry

Chapter 16

(Mini mansion in the mm y'all)

August Pov

I hung up the phone ending my convo with Des. I started thinking to myself while I sat alone downstairs in my office.
"Loca played a part in this too?" I questioned. " damn whats her motives?" I knew Monica definitely went along with it because she was jealous... no surprise there... but damn Loca kept her mouth shut this whole time about us fucking around, but now she helps set me up. This isn't making any sense to me.

My guilt started to eat at me "What if Loca already told Deyla.."nah deyla would have reacted by now." I said to myself. All I know is I need to off these hoes before I end up losing my life or even worse......Deyla.

Deyla Pov

I woke up surrounded by a mess of silky sheets... I know we weren't in a good situation right now, but I could get use to this. We are away from my sister,my mom, and Chance... For the first time I actually felt comfortable.

I stretched out and made my way to the bathroom to do a quick wipe off and brush my teeth. I threw on my pink cherry blossom robe and headed downstairs.

I took my time and explored the new house while I waited for August to appear.

I heard shuffling coming from one of the rooms in the long hallway. I peeked through the half cracked door and watched August as he paced back and forth in a nervous manner.

I gently nudged the door open and made my way inside the oval shaped room. Ive never seen such a beautiful study before. I let my fingers run over the shelves and pictures displayed on glass frames.

I saw the hundreds of books aligning the walls and knew I would be spending alot of my down time in here.

" Goodmorning baby" I cooed as I reached up while standing on the tips of my toes and wrapped my arms around August's neck.

"Its almost 8:00pm Deyla."

"Really!" I replied shocked that I slept for so long. I peered out of the window trying to get a look outside.

"You won't be able to leave the house for a while, so I suggest you find something to do." He told me.

Something about what he said pissed me off... "Why do I haft to be on lock down because you can't control yourself." I argued. "This shit has nothing to do with me, and you can't keep me caged up like some animal." I snapped.

"It got everything to do with you... Why you didn't tell me Chance was your stepdad in the first place." He argued back.

I grew silent knowing he was right about that part. I walked out of the room leaving him alone to continue his business. There is no way I can stay inside for however long until everything blows over.

I went upstairs to grab my phone off the charger and made my way back to the living area. I grabbed a small pillow and comforter, and got cozy on the couch watching "The first 48."

I decided to text Loca...maybe since I couldn't leave she could come keep me company.

Me: Loca Loca Loca......!!!!💃🏻

Loca: Chica I really need to talk to you.. I just can't over the phone!

Me: Whats wrong?😳

Loca: I'll text you in a few.. I need you to meet me soon. Ttyl.

Ughh I hate when someone says "Oh I have to tell you something... then they don't tell you at that moment." I rolled my eyes and sat my phone down on the coffee table.

"Who you texting? August questioned as he came from around the hall corner.

"Do I ask you who you text?" I shot back.

"Dont play with me deyla, and don't be giving nobody our location." He replied.

"Relax it's just Loca.. I was just checking in with her anyways. I told him.

He tensed at her name. I mugged him as he joined me on the sofa. He sat at the opposite end from me and lifted my legs unto his lap, making space for himself.

I couldn't help but to focus on him while trying to watch my show... something was off he seemed so stressed.

"Wanna talk about it?" I asked him.

"Not really.." he replied brushing me off.

I wasn't going to force him to talk. Plus his attitude has been pissing me off lately. I focused my attention back to the tv as his phone started going off, indicating he had multiple text messages. Not doubting anything for a moment I ignored it.

August Pov

Loca: Either you tell her.. or I will.. this guilt is eating me up right now

August: Was it eating you up when you were trying to help Monica have me killed???

Loca: Its eating me up the same way its eating you up because... you just fucked me and Monica both in the same week..

I locked my phone deciding not to reply, she wasn't about to get me caught up period!

Loca: ??? Just tell her so we can finally be happy together.. remember when you told me you loved me?... did you mean it...

I quickly deleted her messages and blocked her number.

Me: man get your cousin!

Des: nah nigga you get her.. I told you don't fuck with my cousin in the first place now look at you..

I locked my phone deciding not to reply... At the end of the day Loca crossed me and nobody gets by me twice and if Des had a problem with it... I guess he'll end up like his cousin.
