1. Dancing For Mr. Alsina

8. Come Thru

Jasmine.

I leaned against the hood of Jacquees's old school Chevy for the video as he stood in front of me. We're on break for right now, but everything else was running smooth.

"So, how are you and August," He smiled.

"Eh. I mean, we're okay. I'm just not foolin' with him like I was," I shrugged.

"You know you want to. Put it like this, August try to keep his fans happy. If they're not happy, he's not happy, so try not to get too mad," He explained.

I chuckled. "I get that, but he said it like I was nothing to him," I sighed.

"Well, he's just a nonchalant brotha'," He chuckled. "He kinda stressed with his nieces, his mama, the music, the tours and then Nicole's always on his ass," He sighed.

"Uh, who's Nicole," I asked in confusion.

"Oh damn. Don't worry about it," He began to play with his dreads.

"No. Tell me," I whined.

"She nobody to worry about and it's really not my place to tell you," He shook his head.

"Alright," I sighed.

"Anyway, we all know August isn't the one for a relationship right now. So just have ya fun with him for now. You're young. Enjoy yourself," He smiled while nudging me.

"I guess," I shrugged with a smile tugging at my small lips.

~~~

The cold wind blew against my face as I stood on the wooden deck to the shore of Baton Rouge. I came here to get some time to myself and think. I still haven't really spoken to August. I honestly don't know what to say to him. For once, Jacquees was really right and I took in his advice. Everything he said was real. August has said many times that he's not looking for a relationship and I knew this wasn't one, but I kept trying to convince myself that it was. Say if you were in my shoes, how would you have felt about the situation? Shay feels like I reacted in a normal way, but after the situation was over with, I felt I had overreacted. Don't get me wrong, August had fucked up, but then again, he's trying to keep his fans happy.

I felt a presence beside me and I looked to my left to see Isaiah. I was really hoping it was August, but it wasn't.

"Why you out here alone," He asked.

"Well, just needed to think and clear my head," I sighed.

"What's heavy on ya mind? It works to get it off your chest," He looked over at me.

"You probably don't wanna hear about it," I shook my head while looking into the water.

"It's about August," He questioned with his eyebrow averted.

I nodded my head silently. "Yeah,"

"Okay. Well, what happen? Ian gon get mad or nothing. We're friends here," He smiled.

"I don't know. You heard his radio interview so that should explain everything there," I rolled my eyes.

"I mean, since I'm a man, I'm going to put it in a man's perspective. Most men don't like to flaunt around their relationships or if you haven't brought up anything about being in a relationship, we take it as we just talkin. Nothing more, nothing less. Just some close ass friends, but you need to talk to him about everything. And another thing, you don't say much. You need to communicate with him more," He advised.

After processing everything he said, he was right, but I felt like I did talk to August. I thought I was getting my point across by saying that little that I had, but I guess not.

"Thank you, Saiah," I smiled, calling him his nickname.

"No problem, Katherine," He joked.

"Shut the fuck up," I mushed his head before walking back to the bus with him trailing beside me.

Once we made it back to our buses, I didn't get on mine, I got onto August's because we really need the time to talk. I know his entourage is on here, but I don't care right now.

"Jas, what you doing? You can't be here," Rocky stopped me.

"I need to talk to August," I placed my left hand into my pocket.

August walked down the first step snd waved me over.

"Let her in, Rock," He demanded.

Rocky nodded then moved out of the way so I could go in. I stepped up the steps on his bus as he led me to the back.

"You ready to talk," He asked while plopping onto the bus couch.

I sat beside him while nodding. "Yeah. I guess we don't communicate that well,"

"We don't. I mean, you gotta understand that I have certain guidelines that I have to follow. One is being single since I have so many female fans and I'm still new in the game," He explained.

"I know and I should respect that. I just felt like you were tryna play me, but I mean, we're young. We just gotta live and even if it means that we're not in a relationship, I'm still going to be attracted to you," I said honestly.

"Same here. Just can't flip out on me, please," He chuckled. "Just tell me how you feelin'. Don't shut me out,"

"Well, speaking of that," I giggled. "A little birdy was choppin' it up with me and they mentioned a young lady by the name of Nicole," I watched his body language to get a reaction, but he remained calm.

"What about her," He asked.

"I wanna know about her," I looked at him.

He pursed his lips while shrugging. "She ain't nobody but an old flame who won't leave me the fuck alone,"

"You ain't dipped back in it? Have you," I asked.

"Nah. You the only thing I'm tryna dip into," He chuckled before pecking up the side of my neck.

I giggled while holding the back of his head as he moved toward my lips. Our lips touched as he pulled me closer to him with his free hand while the other rested on my thigh. I clenched onto the sides of his shirt as the kiss grew intense. He pulled back slowly with my bottom lip clasped between his teeth. I pecked his lips a few more times before we completely parted.

"Anything else you wanna talk about," He asked, breathlessly.

I shook my head before laying my head onto his chest. I could feel his heart beat against my temple which caused me to smile.

A/N: A little update to hold you over until I'm able to write ;-; All tomorrow is going to be dedicated to studying for my tests on Tuesday. Geometry is no joke ;-; I feel like my brain is going to just burst anyday now. Also, I didn't edit this chapter so sorry for any mistakes :(

Is their problem really solved?

Do you think Jacquees and Isaiah were any help?

Who do you think Nicole really is? Or is August being honest?

Is Jasmine making the right decision by living in the moment and not caring for the outcome?
