Sweet Love and Revenge (An August Alsina Story)

Chapter 34

"Aunjel?"

I gasped at the voice I heard on the other line. "August? What the hell are you doing at the jail?"

"I'm locked up. Look ma' I'll explain everything when I see you ok. Just come get me...please?"

I sighed. "Ok I'm on my way."

I hung up the phone and attempted to wake Ky up.

"Ky get up. I gotta get August."

"From where?" She asked sitting up and rubbing her eye.

"Jail! Just come on. I need you to drive."

"Ok."

I got up and threw on some sweats and a tank top and put my hair in a bun. Ky put on some comfortable clothes as well and we headed out.

"Why is Aug in jail?" She asked me as she got in the driver's side.

"I have no idea but he's got some explaining to do when he gets in this car."

It took us thirty minutes to get to the jail. I got out and walked in to get August. I went to the front desk and asked for him.

"Hi I'm here to pick up August Alsina."

"Ok ma'am you know that there is a five hundred dollar bail fee?"

"No I didn't." I said grabbing my purse. "Do y'all take credit cards?"

"Yes we do."

"Ok." I said handing her my credit card.

"Thank you ma'am." She said as she handed me my card back.

She called an officer and told them to send August up front. "You can have a seat. He'll be up here shortly."

"I sat down when I realized the girl Jordyn from my school was here too."

"What are you doing here Jordyn?"

"Armando dumb ass got caught with drugs. I'm so fucking pissed girl." She said shaking her head. "Why are you here?"

"August...he didn't say why tho."

"Probably drugs just like Armando dumb ass."

"Nah I don't think it was drugs. I know August."

"Yea that's what I said about Armando until I questioned him about his sudden money flow and where the fuck he was getting all this expensive ass shit."

I thought about what Jordyn said because at one point Aug did have on an expensive ass piece of jewelry.

"Well I hope that's not the case."

"Me too girl. The last thing you need right now is a grown ass man stressing you and you're pregnant."

"Yea you're right." I looked up to see Armando coming out.

"I'll see you around Aunjel. I'm bout to have Armando's ass handed to him."

I laughed a lil bit. "Ok. See you around."

I waited patiently for August to come through those doors. I rubbed my big belly. Maybe this was why I was having that funny feeling. I looked up to see August looking down. I got up and hugged him like I'd never see him again. I grabbed his hand and we walked out.

"I'm sorry Ma'." He reached into his wallet and retrieved five crisp hundred dollar bills as we were on our way to the car.

"Baby I don't want your money. Just tell me what happened."

"I got caught with some weed in my car ma'."

"Is that all? Were you with Armando?"

He sighed and hesitated. "We just had weed ma' that's all. I promise you."

"And what's with all the expensive shit you been holdin? How did you get the money for that?"

"Why you askin so many questions ma'? I told you what went down."

"I'll leave your ass up here. Tell me the truth."

He gently grabbed my arm and took me to my car. He sighed. "Look. The moment I found out you was pregnant I knew I had to make some money someway. No jobs wanted to hire me so I took the easy way out. I sold crack rocks. I hate to say it like that but I needed to provide for both my families."

I was at a loss for words at what he just said. "I could smack the fuck outta you. August I can't fucking believe you." I said holding my belly. The tears just fell freely. "August what if something fucking happened to you tonight? I can not take another loss mentally and believe it or not physically. Look at this shit!" I said taking my hair down and pulling at it. "My fucking hair is falling out. I don't want one of your homeboys calling me or your mama saying you got shot. I'm tired of losing people August. I don't know what the fuck I'd do if I fucking lost you to a life on the street." I looked up at him with tears in my eyes. "You're about to be somebody's daddy. Your little baby girl is going to wonder where her daddy is one day. The fuck do you have to say for yourself?"

"So how the fuck else I'm supposed to support you and my lil girl? This is the only way right now!" His New Orleans accent always made me melt but not this time. "I gotta provide for y'all by all means."

"No babe no. Like fuck all that. We gone be fine. I don't want you to get killed out there baby. Please don't go back out there. The last thing I need is you dying." I couldn't help but break down and cry in his chest. "I just down wanna lose you Aug."

He said nothing. He just caressed me.

~~~August~~~

I honestly couldn't make any promises to Aunjel. I mean I had 25 grand saved up but I know that couldn't be enough to support me, my moms, Cha cha, the girls, Aunjel, and baby Mel. I mean a nigga gotta do something. I looked down at Aunjel who was still crying into my chest.

I sighed. "I can't make no promises ma'."

She looked up at me with tears in her eyes. "Are you serious August? Today wasn't a close enough call for you? You do know next time you could end up dead right?"

"What happened to you being my ride or die ma'?"

"I am your fucking ride or die but I don't want you to fucking die in the streets or anywhere else for that matter! It's like you don't get it August you really don't. Just get in the car." She said getting in the back seat.

I got in the back seat and tried to calm her. Because she started crying again.

"Hey Aug. Is she ok?"

"Wassup Ky. And yea she good."

I scooted over to Aunjel and pulled her close to me. I was surprised she even let me touch her. I grabbed her chin and made her look me in the face. "Look ma' I'm smart enough to know how the game works. I'm not gone get hurt neither is anybody I love. I'm doing everything I can to support my family especially you and my baby girl." I said as I kissed her and rubbed her belly. "Just tell me you love me and you just gone ride with me."

She looked away and didn't answer me. The whole ride to my house was silent. We finally arrived at my house.

I said my goodbyes and kissed Aunjel and her big belly. "I love you ma'."

Tears welled up in her eyes again. "You don't act like it August."

"Don't do that ma'. I honestly do love you. I ain't neva loved another girl like I love you. Ya heard me?!"

She finally hugged me tight like she wasn't gonna see me again. "I just want you to be ok baby."

"Ima be ight ma'. Nothing's going to happen baby. Now stop all that crying shit. Gimmie a kiss."

She gave me a kiss and a hug. "I love you baby."

I gave her one last kiss before I left. Now to face my mom.
