I'll try not to use the word "Frown" so much since it seems to annoy some of you all. I'll make everyone in the book smile more, I guess. - Izel
The next morning, I woke up to the sound of thundering and I could hear the rain coming hard to my window. I looked around and didn't see August.
I got up and stretched before going to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face.
Right when I got done, I heard my phone starting to ring. I picked it up and August name was on the screen.
"Hello?" I wiped my eyes.
"Mornin' mama."
"Good morning." I smiled. "Where are you? Why'd you leave?"
"I'm at the house. They had an emergency so I came to try and clear things out."
"Everyone's fine, right?"
"Yea, someone broke into Zane and Britt spot while Zane wasn't there, but Brittney handled that situation herself."
"With Lea there? I know she was scared."
"Nah, don't nothin' scare Brittney." He chuckled. "I left my car there though cus I was too sleepy to drive."
"You lazy bum, you can't depend on Uber for everything."
"Yea the hell I can. I'm finna come back."
"Alright, love you."
"Love you mo'."
He hung up and I put my phone back on the charger.
I put my hair up into a messy bun while walking into the living room. I honestly didn't know what to do here by myself. I needed to find something that I could do for my spare time.
I walked back into my room and grabbed my phone and went straight to the camera app.
I sat down in front of my body mirror and started taking pictures. I was finally getting comfortable with myself again so why not show off a little bit?
I took a couple of more then gave up because I was starting to feel ugly again. I deleted the ones I looked weird, which was most, and sent the rest to August.
Instead of posting on mine, I went onto his and posted the pictures with a heart as the caption.
I heard the front door open and close, I already knew it was August because I heard him attempting to sing.
"You should be a model or some shit." He spoke when he saw me then looked back at his phone.
"A lot of people keep telling me that. I don't think I'm model quality."
"The devil is a lie." He chuckled. "Ya' ass big as hell, you got a fine ass smile, you got lil cat eyes, and you tall. They love tall girls." He grabbed my booty.
"How would I get into it?"
"Don't worry bout that part, just worry bout what poses you finna start using." We both sat down on the couch.
"Why do you do so much for me?" I traced his side burn tattoos.
"Cus I want you ta' be happy. I like seein' ya smile too."
"You already make me happy without doing anything. Just being up under you makes me happy."
"You deserved this. I rememba' when I first seen you, it was like you was scared or some shit."
"I was scared. I didn't know anyone and that one kid kept messing with me, and your ex and her friends bothered me almost every day."
"I'm sorry you had ta' go through all of that."
"Speaking of things I've been through, can we talk about us?"
"What about us?"
"You don't think... something's wrong?" I rose a brow. "Because I feel like we're moving too fast." I started to play with my fingers.
I get nervous about talking to him about these type of things because I knew how angry he could get.
"Why you think that?"
"Well, because after that whole thing where we hated each other, we never got the chance to talk things out. All of a sudden all of the anger we had toward each other is gone... It just seems like something we should talk about so it won't happen again."
He looked at me for a few seconds before nodding.
"We can go slow and talk to each other more. Communication is key, right?" He chuckled.
"Right." I smiled and gave him a kiss. "Now go back home because you look tired."
"Nah, Ima stay here. After that shit happened to Brittney last night, you ain't leaving my sight." He laid his head down on my lap.
"I haven't even talked to her yet." I grabbed my phone and dialed her number. - PAUSE.
Let me end it right here because shit about to get crazy and I need to know if y'all want me to update tonight or tomorrow 😂😂😂
