You Deserve

Marli

"You got everything?" Yanna asked as we we walked hand in hand to the entrance to board the plane.

"Yeah, I got everything." I mumbled looking away nervously.

I failed to mention to August that I've never been on a plane, I'm scared as hell. Not only because I'll be over a thousand feet in the air but because I'm about to be separated from Yanna for God knows how long. Basically I'm starting over and not knowing what will happen is scary.

"Don't be so nervous, you'll probably sleep the whole flight." She assured forcing a smile.

She was just as upset about this departure as I was. I breathed out heavily trying to fight back tears as I looked upon her now tear stained face. I embraced her in a hug as we both cried in each other's arms.

"I'm gonna miss you babe." I mumbled.

"I'm gonna miss you more baby, this isn't forever though. No goodbyes, just a see you later."

"Don't grow too much." I replied laughing and rubbing her stomach.

"Like I have control." She stated playfully rolling her eyes.

I hugged her once more kissing her cheek before turning to Brian.

"You sir better take care of my babies. I'll have no problem coming back down here early."

"Don't trip lil bit, I got you I promise. Imma miss your lil ass but imma see you soon." He assured pulling me in for a hug.

"I'll miss you too brother. You guys take care." I croaked.

August came from behind me dapping up Brian and hugging Yanna. I waved one last time before departing as August interlocked our fingers as we boarded the plane. His security guards had already put away our luggage as we settled into our seats.

"Why ya look so nervous?"

"Nigga we are on a plane, we're about to go up up and away. How do you not get nervous."

"Plane virgin huh?"

He began chuckling as I smacked his thigh. He kissed me before tangling his hand in mine.

"It ain't so bad babe, you'll get used to it."

"Where are we even going?" I questioned resting my head on his shoulder.

"NY baby, I gotta meet and greet."

I groaned tilting my head to look up at him.

"Shut up, it's only 2 hours. Take a nap big head." He said kissing my lips and laying his head back.

I sighed looking out the window. I don't know what lies ahead but hopefully everything will get better. It has to.

2 hours later

"Baby wake up." August said while planting soft kisses along my neck.

I smiled as my eyes fluttered open gazing at the beautiful figure before me.

"I'm sleepy." I huffed poking out my lip only to be met with his soft kisses.

"Okay let's go." I mumbled in between kisses.

"One minute." He mumbled still kissing me.

"Boy move, we can do that later." I replied winking.

He nodded his head biting his lip as he held my hand leading us off of the plane. As we made our way hand in hand out of the airport a group of fans came asking for pictures with August of course.

"Are you his girlfriend?" One of them politely asked.

Unsure of if he wanted this to be a public thing a glanced over at him receiving an approving nod.

"Yeah."

"You're really pretty!" She chirped walking.

"Aw, thank you sweetie."

She smiled before disappearing with her friends.

"That was sweet." I said as August wrapped his arm around my waist.

"She wasn't lyin either." He smirked.

"Aren't you a charmer."

He shook his head as a matte black hummer pulled up in front of us. He opened the door helping me inside as his security guard piled our luggage into the back.

"What's his names?"

"Big T."

I turned around in my seat tapping them both on the shoulder.

"Thank you Big T."

"You're welcome sweetheart." He replied smiling.

"Well aren't you a charmer." August announced mimicking me.

I stuck my tongue out at him, shocked when he grabbed my face and kissed me like never before. This kiss was so... Different. Don't get me wrong, every time we kiss it's amazing but this time I felt his need for me and not in a lustful way. It's like we connected in those few seconds. I tried to hide my face as it flustered full of bliss.

"Aw I got ya blushin and shit."

"Shh, my baby is calling me... Yaya!!"

"Babeee I miss you!" Yanna's voice whined over the phone.

"I miss you more Yaya."

"Bry said we'll fly up to wherever you guys are in 3 weeks!"

I squealed in complete joy as August laughed shaking his head.

"I can't wait to see my babies, all 3 of you... I meant what I said about you not growing."

"Girl bye, I have my first doctors appointment in 3 days."

I fell silent. I wished I was there to experience this with her. I know she wants me there, hell I want to be there and it sucks that I'm not.

"Don't get sad on me babe, I know you wanna be here but hey I got plenty more to come alright?"

"Okay, I gotta go we're about to stop to get food. You know Aug's fat ass."

He smacked his teeth and nudged my arm.

"Okay Mar, I love you talk to you later."

"I love you more, later babe."

I dropped my phone in my purse as August laid his head in my lap. I took off his hat and began playing with his curls.

"Ya ready?"

"For what?" I questioned.

"This... A new start."

I looked at him as if the answered was hidden in his eyes. Am I ready?
