No Love

Chapter 5

Amber -

The next morning after showering and throwing on some of Aug's clothes,  I made us breakfast. I was off today so he canceled all his plans just so we could spend time together.  We were eating on the couch watching The Parker's when my phone went off a few times. I didn't answer it, I ignored it and continued to eat.

"You ain't gone get that shit?" He asked me.

"Baby no whoever it is they aren't important I'm with you right now, they can wait," I said to him. It rang again and he answered it.

"Hello!" He hung up slamming the phone down. He slammed it down so hard I thought my screen broke. He got up storming off into the kitchen.

"Well who was it?" I asked as I followed him

"Like you don't know," he said shaking his head.

"Uhm Hello, I don't Aug,"

"Why the hell is that nigga Carter still in contact with you for?" He asked me.

"August I don't know, I haven't been talking to him,"

"Yeah if I find out you have imma kill yo ass!" He stormed out of the kitchen and I sighed rubbing my temples. I washed the dishes and got dressed to go.

My phone was ringing with a call from August and I ignored it. It kept ringing back to back and when I finally answered I was angry.

"What !" I yelled.

"Damn wrong time to call?" Carter said into the phone.

"Oh my god carter I'm sorry I thought you were someone else,"

"It's alright, hey I'm having a poetry reading at the library, you know like I used too, why don't you stop by, we can have a cup of coffee and talk, it's at 7:30," As Carter was talking I declined August's call but he kept calling.

"Sure I wouldn't mind," I said pressing declined.

"Alright then, I'll see you then,"

"Okay," I hung up from Carter and pulled into the parking lot of my job.

My phone kept going off and I eventually turned it off. I didn't have time for August and his bullshit. After clocking in I went to my desk and got started with my work.

"So you declining my calls?" August asked as he came out of nowhere.

"August you need to leave I don't have time for this," I said shaking my head as I walked over to the printer.

"Why I gotta leave Amb? Huh so you can talk to Carter in piece huh?" He said blocking my path

"August!"

"Amber!" He yelled my name and looked at me wildly.

Mr. Tate the security guard came and knocked on my door. "Is everything okay Ms. Riley?"

"We good bruh," August said to him.

"I was talking to Ms. Riley," he said sternly.

"I'm fine Mr. Tate I am honestly thanks," I said to him. He looked from me to August before leaving.

"August this is my place of work, i will not have this foolishness here, you need to leave now!" I yelled. He skipped his lips and stormed out. I hated when he was like this.

Any other time he was such a sweetheart, I was growing tired of this. I loved August with all my heart and we just got back together, I was beginning to think that maybe this was a mistake. I turned on my Pandora radio and got busy trying to get things off my mind.
