Ride Or Die ( August Alsina )

Chapter 5

* Alana's POV *

I sat down at the bar waiting for August to get there. Brandi, the bartender walked over.
Brandi: Need something to sip on?
Alana: No, I'm alright.
Brandi: It's on me.
Alana: I'm straight.
Brandi: Okay Delixious.

Delixious was my stage name. Brandi smiled at me & walked over to another customer. Sade walked over & sat down beside me.
Sade: Hey, nice show girl.
Alana: Thanks.

Sade had to be the biggest hoe. She had sex with anything that walked, but she was pretty. Sade had long black hair, tan, always wore red lipstick, & she was very seductive. She is bisexual too. She once had a boyfriend & girlfriend at the same time.
Sade: Well, let me go get ready girl.
Alana: Yeah.

Just by that time August walked over.
Alana: Finally, you're here & we can go.
August: I guess.

* August's POV *

We walked back out to the car. I was becoming lost at the sight of her. Watching her make every move & she turned around looking at me.
Alana: You gonna unlock the door?
August: Yeah.

I unlocked the door & we sat in.
August: I didn't know you worked at Magic City.
Alana: Yeah, well now you know.
August: Yeah. How long you been here dancing?
Alana: About a year.

I looked over at her. She was fixing her shirt.
August: You, um, don't mind if I make a stop right?
Alana: Nope.

* Alana's POV *

We pulled up to a corner & he got out. Walking up to a dude, he dapped him & passed him a bag, while the dudes slipped him some money. He made his way back to the car, but I turned around as if I hadn't seen anything. He continued his way to the projects.
August: You never told me you're age.
Alana: 20.
August: I'm 21.
Alana: Really? When is you're birthday?
August: September 3rd.
Alana: Isn't that something? My birthday is September 10th!
August: Oh, that's wassup right chea.
Alana: Yup.
August: You from here?
Alana: Nope. I recently moved here about a year ago.
August: Oh okay, I've been here for about 3 years. I'm from New Orleans.
Alana: I've always wanted to go there for Mardi Gras.
August: I might take ya through.
Alana: I bet.

He pulled up to the projects. I opened my door & he grabbed me. I turned around.
August: Maybe tomorrow before you work, I can take you out or some.
Alana: I'll sleep on it.
August: Aight.

I closed the door walking inside. Walking into the kitchen grabbing me an apple, Candice walked in the kitchen grabbing herself a water.
Candice: I see you made it home.
Alana: Yeah.
Candice: August bought you home?
Alana: Yup.
Candice: That's...

She didn't even finish her sentence. She took a seat at the kitchen table.
Candice: I just want you to be careful with who you trust around here.
Alana: I know.
Candice: You know you're like everything to me already. We don't need anything bad happening to you.
Alana: I know & you don't have to worry. I'm fine.
Candice: Okay. Well, I'm gonna return to bed.
Alana: Okay, night.
Candice: Goodnight.

She walked back up the stairs to her room.

Next Day...

* Alana's POV *

I walked over to the window waiting on August to pull up. I had called him & agreed for him to take me out. Candice came in the house & say Ashton down on the couch.
Candice: You look pretty. Where ya headed?
Alana: August taking me out.
Candice: Really?
Alana: Yeah.
Candice: I'll say then.

Ashton threw down his cup & I picked it up placing it on the table. By that time, August pulled up.
Alana: I'll see you later.
Candice: Alright. Be careful!
Alana: I will.

* August's POV *

I watched her come out the apartment & to the car. She sat  down & buckled her seat belt.
August: Ready to go?
Alana: Yup, where you taking me again?
August: Surprise.
Alana: I don't like surprises.
August: Well...

I looked over at her, she glanced at me & looked away.
August: How about I take you out to lunch?
Alana: Sure.

* Alana's POV *

We pulled up to Woodfire Grill, one of the 5 star restaurants. I had never been into any of the nice ones. He followed me inside & we took our seats.
Alana: It's nice in here.
August: Yeah.
Alana: Come here often?
August: Nah.
Waitress: Can I get you guys something to drink?
August: Um, send a bottle of ciroc over here.
Waitress: ID please?
August: Just bring the bottle.

August slipped the waitress $100. She smiled placing it inside her shirt.
Waitress: Ciroc coming right up.
August: Thank ya.
Alana: So, that's how you get you're way around here?
August: Sorta.
Alana: Well...

Just by that time his phone rung.
August: I'll be back.

* August's POV *

I walked out & answered the phone. August: Sup bruh?
Rico: Chilling. Aye, the streets hot right now. I heard Quan suppose to be ratting us out to them bitch ass cops.
August: Hell nah, on some G shit?
Rico: That's what I heard bruh. We might need to pay his pussy ass a visit tonight. Scoop me up later.
August: I got cha.
Rico: Be easy bruh.
Rico hung up & I walked back inside. Alana was still sitting there, eating the dinner rolls for an appetizer.
