Fire Burns [Book 3]

Chapter 32

RECAP:  Chapter 31

"August I'm glad you're here. There's somethin' I needa get off my chest." I said.

"Me too Nick. Whew man I am so nervous 'bout it." August said.

"Just go ahead and say it. I'm all ears." I said.

"Um... Ahh..." August stammers.

"August... Speak. " I said snappin' my fingers.

"I'm gonna marry Bianca." August said.

A lil' piece of me just withers away and breaks apart.

Well that's a huge slap inna face... I ain't expect that from August at all, so now what do I do? What do I say? I don' did all this fo' nothin'. I knew that I already lost August from the start anyways so ion why I thought he would come back.

I feel like a total idiot and my heart is shattered into millions of pieces all over again. Damn! Man I really blew it this time 'round 'cause I thought I had this chance wit'' him. Nah, I don't no mo' , I see that I lost somethin' good so I really have no one now.  I refuse to make things work wit' me and Safaree 'cause it is over, so over, and I feel bad fo' what he gon' thru but I'm done. I am done wit' him 'cause this relationship ain't healthy, but so am I wit' August.

So I just look at August wit' nothin' to say or do 'cause I am so hurt by his decision. I needa support him tho' and be a good friend 'cause that's all I ever be fo' now on.

"Oh," I said cooly, tryna not cry.

"That's great! That's real good August. Congrats." I said.

August just nods his head. "Yeah, I haven't done so, but I will. Ion when tho'."

"Well whenever you decide just let it be special 'cause you only live once." I said.

"Ion bruh I'ma lil' scared y'know." August said.

"August, do it onna Hip Hop Awards. Just do it there then it'll be special fo' her." I said.

"Ooh shit yeah that's perfect Nick. I ain't even think of that." August said.

"See that's why you my girl." August said.

"And you my nigga." I cackle.

"Did I tell you that... She's pregnant Nicki. She's pregnant." August said.

"Ooh really?!" I blink hard as fuck.

How the hell can he be happy 'bout that shit? If I was him I'd have that bitch tested before he cuff her. She's been cheatin' and (I know she still is too) he happy that she pregnant like the fuck.

"Yeah," he nods his head.

"But, are you really finna marry her right away?" I ask.

"Nah, I'ma just propose and get married when the baby born." August said.

Whew! What a relief.

"Good, but I mean it's whatever." I said.

"Why you say that?" August asks.

"It's whatever?" August repeats.

"I mean it is.... Like ya decision bruh." I said.

"You think I'm rushin'?" August asks me.

YES! HELL YEAH YOU ARE RUSHIN' TO BE WIT' THAT HOE.

"August... If you love her than cuff her but I would just be careful. Wait it out." I said.

"Your decision tho'." I said.

"Yeah... I see you all ready to get it on wit' Safaree." August said.

"Ooh, um, yeah," I say laughin'. Well tryna laugh.

My cell phone goes off and I grab it and read the message.

Have a good and safe night cause tomorrow ain't guaranteed.

I delete the message and toss my phone to the side.

"Who was that?" August asks.

I just shrug it off.
