August

"Baby will ya please hurry the hell up. Damn we gon miss all the food."

"Shut up August!" she yelled from the closet.

We throwin my mama a lil pre-party at this lounge for her birthday. Babygirl 51 but don't look a day over 30, that's my mama for ya. But at the rate Marli going we ain't never gon make it to the damn place and y'all know how black people get around free food. Ain't gon be shit left by the time we get there!

"Baby..." I groaned laying back on the bed.

"Okay I'm coming." She huffed finally appearing from the closet.

I watched intently as she quickly went over to her vanity, putting on unneeded makeup and accessories. I found it weird how quick I get so mesmerized by this girl. Like baby ain't even got to try, she's just down right beautiful. Whenever she decides to stop playin and pop out my babies I pray I don't have a girl. She can't take after her mama, that shit just ain't gon fly.

"You rushing me but you're staring off into space, get up." She huffed pulling on my arm.

I smacked my teeth and sat up as I gently pulled her onto my lap.

"I wasn't staring off into space, I was thinkin."

"About what." She mumbled, playing in my curls.

"You."

"Thinkin bout how good daddy is to you huh?" She smirked, popping her imaginary collar.

I side eyed her before attempting to push her off.

"Nooo stop, I love you." She giggled, cupping my face in her hands as she pecked my lips over and over.

"Mhm I love you more." I gushed in between kisses.

She smirked against my lips before slipping her tongue into my mouth. I gripped her sides as we went at it. Shit started getting hectic but I honestly didn't mind. Sorry mama but we gon be a lil late. I laid back on the bed, bringing her down with me, until she decided to sit up.

"Uh uh we gotta go." She taunted as she grinded her hips against A.J.

"We just gon be a lil late that's all. C'mere." I grunted.

"Nope! Let's go."

She hopped off of my lap and adjusted herself as I sat up looking dumbfounded. I mugged the hell out of her as she giggled and glanced at me.

"Wipe that frown off your face, tonight I promise."

I rolled my eyes and proceeded to the door but before I could exit she grabbed my arm. I furrowed my eyebrows as she wrapped her arms around my torso and looked up at me with those orbs I love so damn much.

"I'm sorry baby." She cooed, poking out her bottom lip.

I chuckled before pressing my lips onto hers.

"Ya ass better be lucky ya cute. Tonight, this is mine." I boasted violently smacking her ass.

"Shit August! Move." She screeched pushing me off of her, grabbing her purse and exiting the door.

I laughed following behind her as we eventually made our way to my mama house.

At the party

"Happy Birthday Mama Sheliaaa, happy birthday to youuu!!" Every one sang in unison.

I snaked my arm around my mama waist as she bent down to blow out her candles. Everybody was having a good ass drama free time, all for my mama. She deserves it, she deserves nothing but happiness and I thank God for allowing me to see her like this.

She rose up with toothy smile plastered on her face and tears welled up in her eyes. She grabbed her glass of wine as we all awaited for what came next... Her tribute to Mel. A tradition we all became accustomed to every birthday.

"I want to thank all of you for coming and turning up witcha girl. It means a lot, it really does. I want to give thanks to The Lord for allowing my baby to see this day and I want to thank him for everything he's done for him." She croaked turning to me.

I wrapped my arms around her as she continued her speech.

"I'm not gonna get all sappy now but Mel, baby I see you. Watching over Aug and the babies, watching over all of us. We love you and we miss you. To Mel."

I grabbed my glass along with everyone else, raising it up in the air.

"To Mel." Everyone said in unison taking a sip for my brother.

"Alright enough of this sadness." Mama boasted wiping her eyes.

"Knuck turn on the music baby, mama wanna dance!" She exclaimed shaking her hips.

I bursted out in laughter as I looked down at her. She extended her arms around my torso and kissed me on the cheek.

"Thank you baby. I'm so proud of you." She whispered in my ear.

"I do it for y'all. Na gon out there and fun."

I kissed her cheek as she ran to the crowd to show off her dance moves. With a proud smile on my face I made my way into the crowd as well, finding Marli dancing away with a very pregnant Yanna. Laughing at the two I stole Marli away, gently pulling her into me by her waist as she laced her arms around my neck.

"Heyyy!" Yanna whined pouting.

I smirked thinking about what was to come next.

Yanna had been down in the dumps lately due to my nigga Bry bein on tour for the past month. However, I put a lil somethin somethin together to make sure everyone was in good spirits today.

"Stop all that poutin and gimme some love." Brian suddenly boasted wrapping his arms around Yanna's waist.

"Baby!" She squealed practically jumping into his arms.

Mar and I watched in amusement as Yanna cried I to Bry's chest.

"They're so cute." Mar gushed placing her head against my chest.

"But we cuter."

Once again she popped her invisible collar as I laughed and tightened my grip around her waist. She started swaying her hips side to side as New Flame by nigga Breezy blasted through the speakers. We exchanged smiles as I looked around at everyone dancing with their companion, just having a good time with each other. Moments like this are what I live for, no drama, no sorrow, just pure happiness.

People often take moments like these for granted but not me. This shit right here is what I call the good life. No amount of money, fame, and diamonds can measure up to the way I feel right now. Happy.
