*Los Angeles -5:30 am*

August POV:

I have been up since four dis morning. I could barely sleep anyways because I was up doin' some thinkin'. After I come out tha bathroom, I look at my clock ta check tha time. So, I wake up Mariah. Well...I try anyways...

Me: "Riah, wake up beybe..."

She juss groans and moves. She's difficult as fuck early in tha mornin'...

Me: "Babe. Wake up na. C'mon..."

Mariah: "Why are you messing wit me?"

Me: "Ta go catch dis flight on time..."

Mariah: "What time is it?"

Me: "Five in tha mornin'. C'mon..."

I throw tha cover back and grab ha hands.

Mariah: "Lemme sleep..." She whines

Me: "You can sleep after you get on tha plane. But, after you shower, you'll be wide awake. You juss worry about getting dressed and bein' done on time. I'll go cook you sum'n ta eat. Okay?"

She nods and walks into tha bathroom. I make up tha bed and go downstairs into tha kitchen. I juss wanna know why all of a sudden...he wants ta see Reina?

*7 am*

Mariah: "I'm really starting ta rethink dis whole thing..."

Me: "Why?"

Mariah: "It's juss weird. He's never tried dis hard before ta see Reina. Not even when he was locked up. I wouldn't take ha in dat environment anyways. But still..."

Me: "Glad I'm not tha only one thinkin' it. But, hey! He changed his ways..." I said as I mimicked Chris

Mariah: "Ha. Yea right. And you really think I believe dat shit? He will flip like a switch. Real quick. You never see it comin'. And it'll happen so quick. Then he acts like it never happened..."

Me: "And you fucked wit him because...?"

Mariah: "If you knew...everything he has done ta me...you'd understand why I stuck around fa so long up until he did what he did ta me..."

I juss look at ha confused. She looks down and stands up fixing ha clothes. She walks off and I grab ha hand as I pull ha back.

Me: "What all has he done ta you, Mariah?"

She juss looks at me....

Mariah: "I made it out didn't I? I was born and raised in New Orleans. I learned a lot. Dealt wit a lot of shit. So, every little thing he has done...got handled..."

Me: "Renee....what has he done ta you?"

Mariah: "I'll tell you one of these days. C'mon..."

She grabs ha purse and I stand up. What is she keepin' from me?
