1 Week Later

Today, I Had To Work. I Worked At 10pm-6am. I Hate It, But I Have To Make This Money. Jazmine and Her Man Went On Vacation, Damn I Need A Vacation. Me and August Text A Lot, But I Haven't Seen Him Since I Went Out To Eat With Him and His Nieces. I Can't Sit Here and Catch Real Feelings With August, He's A Recording Artist and Thousands Of Girls Loves Him. I Know He's Probably Seeing Another Girl, But I'm Not Tripping. There's No Way August Could Ever Like Me, So I Need To Find Me A Damn Man With My Lonely Ass. Today I'm Going To Spoil myself With A Little Shopping. Get My Hair Did, and My Nails! I Threw On My Black and Gold Jersey Dress With The Number '86' On It, With My Cross-Strap Platform Stilettos. Felt Like Getting Cute Today!

As I Walked Around The Mall Heading Towards Starbucks. I Need A Frappe, Don't Judge. It's 12:37pm and It's Still Morning To Me. After Ordering My Frappe, I Sat and Drank Some Of It, Then Unexpectedly, August Called. I Smiled and Answered. I Got Up, Threw The Cup Away, and Walked Into Forever 21. I Was Looking At Some Clothes and Still On The Phone With Him. We Talked On The Phone For A Good 2 Hours. After I Got Off The Phone With Him, A Guy Walked Up To Me. He Was Very Handsome. "Hello Ma'am" He Spoke With His Deep Sexy Voice. I Smiled "Hi" He Grabbed My Hand and Spun Me Around Slowly To Get A Good Look At Me. I Blushed and Looked Down. He Lifted My Head Up With His Index Finger "Stop Looking Down Pretty Lady, I Like The Way You Smile." He Said and Smiled With His Straight White Teeth. He Was Brown Skin and Almost Had That August Hair Cut. He Was As Tall As August and Slim. Just The Way I Like Them. "What's Your Name?" He Asked Then Bit His Lip. I Tried To Play Hard To Get "My Name Is Unknown.." I Said Then Walked Over To The Maxi Skirts. He Smiled Then Walked Over To Me, He Grabbed My Hand and Laughed A Little "What's Your Name Foreal?" He Asked Again. I Sighed and Smiled. "My Name Is Kendalynn, Everyone Just Calls Me Kendal" I Smiled and Put My Hand On My Hip. My Purse Was Hanging Off My Right Arm With My Phone In My Hand. He Started Laughing and When He Did, His Eyes Closed and He Threw His Head Back. I LOVE THAT! "Damn, I Wanna Laugh Too." I Said Looking A Little Confused. "My Bad, It's Just That Name Is So Different and I Love It. You Look Like The Type Of A Girl Who Can Have An Attitude In A Heartbeat Cause I Can Tell How You Pose and The Way Your Eyebrows Goes With Your Face Expressions." He Said. I Blushed and Looked Away. "Stop Looking Away! How Come I Can't Look At You?" He Asked and Threw His Hands Up. "You Looked At Me Long Enough Shawty.." I Said Then Walked Away. He Followed Me, My Little Playing Hard To Get Plan Is Working. "Why I Gotta Be 'Shawty'? You're Shorter Than Me!" He Asked As He Walked Out Of The Store With Me. I Stopped And Looked At Him. "Just Because I Called You Shawty Doesn't Mean I'm Talking About Height, Now Look, If You're Trying To Get With Me For One Thing. Just Stop Now, I'm Not Like That." I Said While Walking Off. "I'm Just Trying To Get To Know You, We Could Just Be Friends." He Said Then Fixed His Jacket. I Chuckled "Tuh, Be Friends? Boy Please. Look, I Need To Get My Hair and Nails Did. I Need To Hurry and Finish Shopping. I Got Work Tonight So I Need To Get These Things Over With So I Can Go Home And Take My Nap." I Said Then Placed My Hand On My Hip Again. "Hair, Nails, and Clothes On Me.." He Said. I Raised My Eyebrow "Oh Nooo, I Got It. You Don't Need To Do That To Impress Me." I Said and Threw My Left Hand Up. "No Foreal, I'm Not Trying To Impress You. You Don't Need To Spend Your Money On All This. I Got It." "But, I'm Going To Have To Pay You Back.." I Said While Scratching My Head A Little. He Smacked His Lips "You Don't Have To Worry About That, I Got You." He Said Then Smiled. He Was Such A Gentleman. Imma have To Pay Him Back! He Payed For My Nails, Clothes, and For Me To Get My Hair Done!

"Thank You SO Much, I Have To Pay You Back Desmond. You Didn't Have To Do That Though." I Said Thanking Him and Patting His Shoulder. "Don't Worry About It Kendal, it's Okay. and You're Welcome. You Can Call Me Whenever You Need Anything , or Need To Talk About Anything. I'm Here and Your Friend." He Said and Shook Me A Little. I Laughed "Okay, See You Later" I Said and Gave Him A Hug. I Grabbed My Bags From Him and Walked Off. It's Time For Me To Go Home, Take A Shower, and Go To Bed. As I Turned A Corner In The Mall To Go Outside August Was In Front Of Me and I Screamed. He Scared The Hell Out Of Me. "Damn August! You Trynna Kill Me or Whaaat?!" I Said While Shocked and Laughed. He Laughed "I Didn't Mean To Scare You, I Was trying To Surprise You." "Well that Was A Surprise There." He Had A Little Confused Face and Looked At Me "I Saw You With A Dude, That Was Your Man?" He Asked. I Shook My Head Fast "Nooooo, I met Him While I Was In Forever 21 Then He Paid For My Nails, Hair, and Clothes." I Laughed. "Damn Fasho? I Wish A Random Bitch Can Come Up To Me and Pay For My Shit.." I Kind Of Frowned When He Said "Bitch". He Noticed Then Smacked His Forehead "My Bad Ma', That Slipped." He Said Quietly. I Shook My Head "Well I Gotta Go, I Need To Shower, and Go To Bed! I Got Work Tonight." I Said While Put The Bags All In One Hand So I Could Wipe My Eyes. "Here, Let Me Help." He Grabbed The Bags and We Headed To My Car. He Put The Bags In The Backseat and Closed The Door and Stood In Front Of Me. "Thanks August!" I Hugged Him, and He Also Hugged Back. "We Should Get Together Again, You, Me, and My Babies Can Cook Some Of That Good Lovin' New Orleans Food For You At Your Crib." He Said While Squeezing My Shoulders Which Tickled. "Sounds Like A Good Plan To Me! But I Also Eat What Y'all Eat" I Laughed. He Sighed "Damn, I Should of Known. You Black!" He Said Then Threw His Hands Up. "Don't Forget Indian and White." I Said Then Chuckled. "Oh Be Quiet, I'll Let You Know Whenever We Can Do That. I Need To Hurry and get Back On The Road! Gotta Show Tonight!" He Gave Me One Last Hug and He Ran To His Black Van. I Shook My Head and Smiled. I Got In My Car and Drove Off.
