KianaLooking around August's office, I start to notice the little things. Like the picture that sits on his shelf of a little girl that has similar features as him. But I can't really tell since the picture frame is small and is shoved in the back with books. Like he's trying to hide and forget all about the little girl.
I hum a little bit to myself still looking at the little girl. She looks so innocent and happy not a care in the world. I would love to take her place.
" No you wouldn't." I hear August say lowly. Oh geez I spoke out aloud .....again. I inwardly groan. I nod my head, Immediately looking down. I can't all but think about his comment. Why wouldn't I be happy to be in her place? Not a care in the world, no pain... just love. I would just die for a ounce of love or even the tiniest affection from someone.
I hear August clear his throat.
" You can look at me." He says. I finally meet his eyes. They held so much emotion that it was hard to decipher. But one emotion that I do know that shines so bright and clear as day, is rage. I know that emotin all to well. But why is he so angry, he knows the guy that hit him and he already got the car fix. Hell he even got a brand new car. So why hold all this angry?" So your telling me that this low life, wanna be gang banger hit me, and wrecked my car?" Wow..... not even he almost killed Kiana in the mist. Well I know how much he cares about me. I scoff lowly.
" And what does this whole mess have to do with you?" He points to Harley. I immediately looked up.
" I....um.. I ...." Harley stutters.
" She's my friend." I jump in, she looks at me with wide eyes." I thought you didn't have friends... remember." He says and raises his eyebrow, staring at me directly in the eyes.
"Yes I do remember." I say nodding my head.
"But I also remember,not knowing if she was alive. Like I said before my boyfriend was no angel." He just nods his head." So where do we go from here ?" Shayaa says.
"Go get the others...... we have business to attend to. And for you." He points to Harley. " Go wait down stairs until I figure out what to do with you."" You ain't got to worry about her. She's my business. I'll handle it." He says to August. He only nods and looks towards me .
" And you... you need to go clean and start dinner."
" But with all do respect... I would like to know what's going to happen. I mean I know its my job to clean in all, but I'm just involved in this as much as the next person." Knowing what I said could get me killed or fired but I just had to speak up." What did I say ?" August says while slightly raising his voice.
"But..."
"No buts... I said go clean and thats what I meant. Now don't think I won't put a bullet through your skull for disrespecting me. " I lowered my head."Now get out my face, before I change my mind. Making it easier on the both of us."
" Yes sir." I say softly and head out the room with Harley in tow with Shayaa.
" Lets go Harley, so we can hang for a little bef....."
" She's coming with me." I snap my head up to him.
" Come on Shayaa, please I haven't seen her in a while." I say.
"Me and lil mama need to talk about somethings right naw. Maybe afterwards." He says shrugging his shoulders like it wouldn't matter to him if we did or didn't."Alright." I say with a huff. I turn around on my heels and head to the kitchen, getting started on dinner. I don't need August ripping me a new one about dinner not being ready.
Harley
"Shay...." I say breathlessly. All I want to do is kiss this man into the oblivion and tell him how sorry I am that things have to be this way, but I refrain.
