Ride Or Die 3 ( August Alsina )

Chapter 19

* Alana's POV *

I walked into the restaurant with Diva, Candice, Tonya, & Star already waiting at the table. I took my seat & ordered a lemonade.

Diva: Girl, get your ass some wine.

Alana: Just want lemonade today. What's going on with y'all?

Star: Well, how about I'm actually opening up my very own nail salon!

Alana: That's good Star.

Candice: That's a good idea to have your own nail place.

Star: Yes bae talked me into it & we went looking for different spaces yesterday.

Diva: Well good bitch. I've got myself a new man!

Everyone stared at Diva as if it were all a joke.

Diva: Bitches, I'm serious. I found someone that's for me & I'm actually happy.

Candice: Aw Diva!

Diva: Yes I know.

Tonya: Give us the background check...

Diva: He's 30, no kids, been married once, divorced 3 years, a lawyer.

Alana: That's good! He sounds like he's a great guy.

Diva: Very charming y'all... He's bought me this too.

Diva gave us a smirk as he propped his Louis Vuitton bag on the table.

Tonya: Damn Christian is a model & ain't bought me a beautiful bag looking like that.

Diva: Well bitch I have better taste than you in a man.

Candice: Anyways, I thought maybe I would announce that me & Rico are having another baby!

Everyone stared at Candice as she broke the news. She reached into her purse & pulled out an ultrasound with the biggest smile on her face as she sat it down in the middle of the table for us all to see.

Star: You're kidding?

Diva: Bitch better be.

Candice: Actually I'm not.. I'm serious.

Tonya: It's dated from yesterday.

Alana: Your 8 weeks?

Candice: Yes. I don't even have symptoms like I did with the boys & Joy. I just fell out while at Joy's doctor appointment. They ran test on me & discovered a baby.

She said smiling.

Diva: Damn, y'all couldn't wait? Joy only 1.

Candice: We weren't even trying, we used condoms... It just happened, but I'm happy with it. I won't even complain.

Star: Better you than me, I don't think I'll be having another anytime soon. Maybe 5 years from now & that's MAYBE.

Diva: I'm still stuck on the fact that you about to have 4 kids.

I took a sip of my lemonade & laughed at Diva's comments.

Tonya: What's new with you Alana?

Alana: Umm, same stuff. The court hearing is Friday. We'll finally know if Ava is August's child or not.

Tonya: Do you want it to be?

Alana: For him, yes. He's been doing good with her & he loves her as if she's already his own. For me, no. In my own selfish way, I'll rather have his first child...

Star: I get it.

Tonya: Well...

I sat there in my head thinking about if Ava was actually his child. Would he think maybe him & Ashlee could work things out & become a family, leaving me kicked to the curb? Or what if Ava wasn't his & we decided to start a family of our very own.

* August's POV *

I opened the door & Ashlee came in. She smiled looking up at me before sitting down on the couch.

Ashlee: Hi August.

August: Hey.

I sat down on the other couch while she glanced around at the various pictures of me & Alana.

Ashlee: So, you guys saved a wedding date yet?

August: Nah...

Ashlee: Oh okay.

She looked down at Ava was wide awake now looking at the 2 of us.

Ashlee: Our baby is up.

August: Yup.

She grabbed Ava into her arms & looked over at me.

Ashlee: August, why don't you just make us a happy family? We've already got a daughter.

August: I don't love you that's why.

Ashlee: So you love her?

August: I'm in love with her Ashlee damn..

Ashlee: Fine then!

She jumped up full of anger walking out the door. I followed behind her & watched as she put Ava into her car seat before she got her car started & drove away.
