August pov

"So you tellin me y'all aint the ones who got her?" I said into the phone.

"Damn.. I aint know she had enemies like that." I said into the phone once again.

"Bet that up .. we'll link later." I told Des before hanging up.

A couple days had passed and bitches and niggas was getting popped left and right. Des just let me know somebody offed Monica. I thought for damn sure it was my people..I gave them specific orders to end her but someone had took it out of our hands. Oh well I wasn't complaining just a little surprised.

Des told me he was throwing a cookout later at his crib, and I thought it would be the perfect escape for Deyla. I could get her out of the house and all of our men would be there to keep an eye out.

I shuffled up the stairs and leaped unto the bed, right on top of deyla. "Ughh.." she grunted with her face stuffed into the pillow."get up!..get up.." I shouted as I dragged her down to the foot of the bed by her leg.

"Ugh—August come on! Im tired.." she grunted at me.

"We goin out today love." I cooed at her.

"Really?where!?" She said wide eyed. She jumped out of the bed and ran into the bathroom.

She was excited, Like I knew she would be. She stripped down inside the bathroom, leaving the door open. I gazed at her before she met my eyes.

"Perv!" She said before slamming the door shut. I chuckled as I got off the bed and burst through the bathroom door.

I lifted deyla up swiftly and placed her on the bathroom sink. " I'll show you a perv." I mumbled against her neck.

I left the bathroom and closed the door back, leaving her to get ready for today.

I heard the shower turn on, so I took it upon myself to pick a outfit for Deyla. I browsed through the items she ordered online searching for something I liked. My eyes scanned past a spaghetti strap dress with slits down the sides and back. "Where Tf she think she wearing this?." I said outloud. I tossed the dress on my side of the closet so she couldn't find it.

I finally came across a pair of snug light bleached jeans and a all White Polo shirt.
She matched my fly. I bent down to the bottom of her closet and picked up her sperry shoes.

I made a mental note to get her some jewelry to match mine, until then I placed the silver heart shaped necklace I bought her on top of the outfit.

She came out of the bathroom with a pink robe on and her wet hair swinging down her back. I watched her move as she began to finger comb her hair. "What?" She asked playfully.

"Nothing..put that on." I said while pointing to the outfit that sat on the bed. She looked over the outfit and giggled. "First of all ask me dont tell me.." she said waving her finger around.

"But thats cute.. too bad I'll look better than you." She joked.

"Girl bye." I said mushing her forehead making her fall backwards.

"Stop playin!" She laughed before grabbing my leg and pulling me down to the ground with her. "Okay okay!! Let me up before you get my Polo dirty." I told her. I jumped up before she could and pushed her back down.
