Building Bridges

Chapter 2: His Priority

This morning I woke up with a smile, did my routine skipped breakfast with my parents to meet August before school! I really really like him. He's sweet but I can tell that this Kingpin lifestyle is something that I'll need adjustments with! I pulled up to Crackle Barrel to see August leaning against the hood of his car. He looked up as I parked beside him and opened the door. "Good Morning Ma", he said with a smirk and a smile. "Good Morning Aug", I said with the same enthusiasm. "Ready to eat?", he asked. "Yeah sure", I said walking towards the entrance. During breakfast we laughed had small talk and it was perfect until his phone rang! "Speak" he answered. "Set the trip for next weekend, my normal estate.... tell him I'm bringing someone with me." He was quiet as he listened to the person on the other side. "She'll be rooming with me" he said looking at me! "Bet" he hung up! We are taking a trip to Cuba next week, business trip for me, getting to know you trip for us! he said. "Look August, thank you for everything and I've said that already..... but you do not own me and you will not command me! I'm not going out the country with you or anyone anytime soon." I said with an attitude. "You're right ma, my bad" he said, "I'm just used to giving orders, this will take some adjusting" he said. "August what is your purpose, you don't know me.... what is this?" I asked. "A new beginning, you're a good person have all the qualities I like in a woman, and I want to be your friend!" he said, "is being your friend a crime?" he asked. "No, it's not, but time is nearing we should head to school!" I said putting money on the table for our breakfast. "August looked at me crazy. "What you doing GG, you'll never pay if I'm around, especially not for me! He exclaimed. "I will, I did, let's go." I said getting up and walking! I could hear him chuckle and say "this girl" under his breath. I smirked at my effect. We got in our cars and headed to school! Once I got to school I parked in my normal spot and so did August I guess he claimed his territory.
I walked in the building with him following me closely and I spotted Ohaji with a bruised nose at my locker. I looked at August feeling anger rage between him and Ohaji. I continued walking with August hot on my ass. "So Gia, this what we doing now? Messing with new clowns" Ohaji said. "Didn't I tell your ass stay away from her? She not your business no more. She my priority. If anybody got a question about it you ask me" he said getting louder towards the end gaining the attention of the hallway. "Ohaji were over, I can't take the abuse and disloyalty anymore, I gave you my all and you didn't even give me a fraction of what I gave you" I said. "Whatever Gia, you a dumb bitch anyways" he said. I froze and just stared. August began to say something but I already had slapped his ass. The bell rang again and I walked to the office to aid, August still got on my trail. "August, I'm okay.... stop walking behind me! I need space" I raised my voice a little. "Okay ma" he said putting his hands in his pockets and turn the walk to class.
After our spill out in the hall I didn't see Ohaji or August all day and once the bell rang I left school and noticed Augusts car was already gone. I went home and changed into a bathing suit. I texted Jade, Monica, and Ashley the details and to come over to swim and chill. I called the chefs to make us our favorite girls night foods, and soon all of my friends showed up with their over night bags and bikinis with covers! I knew this would be the night of stress relief I needed! "Hey bitcheeeesssss" I screamed. "Hey biiitttcchhhh", they all replied. We swam and then ate for hours. "Let's go to the theater to see a movie" Ashley said.
"We have one here why would we go out?" I asked. "Cause we're bad bitches and we need a night out on the town" Monica said. "I agree especially you Gia" Jade agreed. "Ughhh, okay okay....lets go!" I said. We all showered changed and went. "That was so funny like omg" Ashley said. "If I sucked dick I'd try that grapefruit trick" Monica said. "You're just nasty!" I said laughing extremely hard. "Gia look at 12:00" Jade said. I looked across the street in that direction and saw August talking to a group of boy around our age but younger maybe 15 and 16. He looked like he was laying down business and I can say it was very very sexy to me. For some reason I know he sensed me staring and made direct eye contact with me. He finished talking never moving his eyes, and then proceeded to walk my way. Getting nervous I looked down as my girls made fangirl noises being embarrassing. "Aye ma" he said wrapping his hands around my waist pulling me in to him. "Hey" I said inhaling his wonderful scent that for the moment was mixed with a little weed! "How you do beautiful?" he asked now holding my chin with me still in his arms. "I'm good and you?" I asked smiling lightly. "Good now that yeen yelling at a nigga no more" he said as a matter of factly. I laughed and replied "call me later", he said "Nope. You with your girls, text me!" He said. "Y'all ladies have a wonderful night okay?, bye ma." he said about to walk away! "Oh GG, c'mere", he said. I walked closer and he bent down and whispered "Next time you yell at me and roll your eyes, I'm gone take you home and make you yell for real.... deal ma?" I was speechless. "Deal" he said kissing my forehead and walking away! "Ahhhhh shit Gia got a new boo" Jade screamed. "Or should we say GG" Ashley joined. "I think Ma sounds better" Monica said. "I hate you all, lets go hoes" I said walking away.
Once we got home we changed and watching the Kardashians. I texted August all night!
