🔫-August Alsina

August's POV

The next morning I woke up around 7:00, I looked over and seen Jadore still peacefully sleeping, it's cute to see her sleep cause she has this light snore that she does. I had to pee but my dick was on hard from my morning woodie so I had to wait until it calmed down then I got up and used the bathroom. After that I washed my hands and face, brushed my teeth and went and slid back in the bed wrapping my arms around Dore. "Good morning shawty, how'd you sleep" I said waking her up. She moved around a little stretching, "Sooo freaking good like I was sleeping on a freaking cloud, where am I" she said sitting up looking around "Omg, how'd I end up in your bed, I thought we were chilling on the- smh, Aug, did I fall asleep on you again lol" "Yeah you did lol, but it's cool, we had a chill night, that weed will put you on your ass lol" "Yeah it def did, but I had fun with you, what time is it?" "Uhh a little bit after 7:00 now" "What, why'd you wake me up so early?" "Because I have something planned for us so I need you to go home && get dressed ma" "Oh wow, what do you have planned??" "It's a surprise, just know you're gonna get to know me today😏" "Lol, okay cool" "I'm about to call the driver to come pick you up so we can get dressed && I'll have him swing by Ihop to get you some breakfast on your way home" "Omg, Aug that's sweet but you don't have to, I can fix me something when I get home" "Na'll I insist, I would whip you up something myself but we on a tight schedule so the next time I gotcha" "Nigga, you know yo ass can't cook, how about I got us lol" "Mannn Dore listen, Imma beast in that kitchen you feel me? Lol, now get up, go take a piss, wash ya face && shit so we can get this day started" I said hugging her. She got up && did just that while I placed the call to my driver, he was there about 10 mins later, I walked Jadore to the car giving Dore another hug && told her to be ready by 9 && with that she was out. I went back upstairs to get ready. I called Jay && told em to meet me at the airport @ 9:30. After I got out the shower I did my hygiene thang and decided to throw on my Roper red, black, && white shirt, white Levi's && my taxis. It was around 8:30 so I figured I'd head on over to Dore's, I shot her a text && told her I was on the way && with that I snatched my shades && snap back off the counter && I was in the whip backing out my long ass driveway.

Jadore's POV

I woke up the next morning in August comfy ass bed wondering how I even ended up in here when I realized I must've fallen asleep on him again, gosh, I gotta stop doing that lol, that weed put my ass slap out though. He told me that I needed to go home and get dressed because he had a surprise for me, something about me being able to know him by the end of the day. He called his driver for me and he took and got me some breakfast then home. When I made it in Truth and Indy were still sleep so I just decided to eat my breakfast quickly and get dressed. Once again not ever knowing what we're gonna do until we get there I didn't know how to dress so I just decided casual this time. I went to my closet and picked out a cute black top with pink font that said Flawless some white True religions and my black and pink foams. I did my face up and flat ironed my hair, I put on my Niki Minaj Mac lipstick and I was ready to go. I did a double over in the mirror when my phone vibrated, I looked at it and it was Aug saying he was on the way.

August's POV

When I pulled up to Dore's apt I killed the engine and hopped out. I went upstairs and hit the doorbell, a few moments later I heard the latch unlock and she opened the door. Damn she was looking good! I love the way she switched it up with them kicks on. Her shirt said flawless and that was an understatement! "You ready or nah lol" she said breaking my stare "Yeah I'm ready" I said hugging her, damn she smelled so good. "When you stay ready you don't have to get ready ma" "Lol, whatever" she said breaking our embrace. "Come on, we're running behind schedule" I said grabbing her hand. She locked the door and we proceeded to the car. When we got to the airport her mouth dropped open and I couldn't do anything but laugh cause she really had no idea what was going on. Big Jay met us at the car and we got on our private plane. "Omg August, where the hell are we going lol" "Chill ma, I'm gonna take care of you" "If you say so" on the flight we just vibed, took some selfies, joked around, and then took a quick nap, a little while after the flight attendant let us knew that we would be landing momentarily I was ready to reveal my surprise. Once we landed I got off first and escorted Jadore down the steps and the first thing I was said was "Welcome to New Orleans behbeh" "Omg, omg" she was squealing placing her hand over her mouth. "August I always wanted to come here, this is crazy" she said with the biggest smile. "You said last night you wanted to get to know me, so here we are, I'm gonna show you me, N.O. the good and the bad so let's go. Big Jay went and got our whip that we were going to be riding around in for the day, I took Dore sight seeing, bought her a few souvenirs, of course I had to let her try the beignets, I took her by the stadium Who Dat Nation stand up lol. By then, it was getting dark outside and I still had to show her me, we loaded back up in the truck and headed towards downtown. The closer we got the thicker the vibe got, the scenery changing around us, I could tell Dore was nervous the way she squeezed my hand tighter. "I'm not gonna let anything happen to you, you have my word." She gave me an uneasy smile but I knew she believed me. Big Jay drove around the block where I used to slang rocks, niggas was posted outside muggin the truck but when they saw me it changed to respect, they nodded their heads and kept it grinding, I took her to where I grew up and then to the Quick n Easy where I spent many of my nights sleeping after I couldn't take my moms putting another nigga before her kids. After that the final place we pulled up to Big Jay stopped the truck and I got out helping Dore out too, she was kinda hesitant again and honestly couldn't blame her, it was kinda rough around these parts but I looked at her and she knew I had her. When she got out we walked over to the sidewalk and I stopped she came in front of me and I wrapped my arms around her resting my chin on top of her head the wind had started picking up making it a little chilly now. "This place will forever have the biggest impact on my life...see here, 5 years ago, my brother was murdered in cold blood, nobody spoke up about it so the police never caught the nigga who did the shit" I said choking up again reliving the moment I came back to N.O. after finding out what happened to my brother. "Damn Aug, again, I'm so sorry to hear that" she said turning && burying her face in my chest, I could feel my shirt getting soaked so I knew she was crying, I pulled her face back and told her it was okay. "I know you're okay but it's just so hard to think of losing a loved one that way, I honestly don't know what I would do without my brother and the thought of it just breaks my heart!" She said crying even harder. "Yeah, it's pretty rough" I said giving in to my feelings, I didn't want to be that weak nigga but she brought out that side of me. "It's funny you know, a conversation I had with my brother weeks before he got murdered was about death, he was like Aug, niggas in N.O. don't live to see 25 && he got murked at 24, it's power in your tongue, that's why you gotta speak positivity into your life." She hugged me and that made me break down right there just holding each other crying, it felt so good to just let it out again. I broke our embrace "You see this tat?" I pointed to the one on my forearm "I got this made for my brother, the caution tape represents the murder scene, the eyeballs represents the witnesses who didn't speak up, NOLA in graffiti, cause that's where we from, 4-15-86, my brother's birthday, 8-31-10 my brother's murk day && of course the gun that took my brother's life." I explained to her as she traced over them with her finger tip. I'm so proud of you Aug for not becoming a statistic, I really feel like I know you now, it's so crazy how far you've come in such short time." "Yeah. I still gotta long ways to go, but now you know, so when you see me grinding, this place is fuel to my fire." I said pecking her on the forehead wiping away the remainder of her tears. "Okay, enough of the sappy stuff, I just really wanted you to know me so I thought what better way than to just show you. Are you ready to go" I asked looking back at Big Jay still posted outside the truck. "Yeah I am, thank you Aug for an amazing day" she said giving me a peck on the lips, after that I looked at the pavement one more time said RIP big bro, grabbed Dore's hand and we were headed back to the truck. Once we got in I told Big Jay we were headed back to the airport && on our way out we went through this crackhead neighborhood where I seen this familiar face "Yo Big Jay, stop the truck" "What's wrong Aug?" Jadore asked, concern expressed all over her face. "Nothing ma, I see someone I know, sit tight I said getting out the truck && walking over to a skinnier strung out version of my ex. "Kim is that you?" This pretty light skinned crackhead looked up at me like she saw a ghost, it was definitely her, although it was clear she was strung out, those eyes were a giveaway, time was definitely not on her side with the way the drugs were treating her. "Aug, is that you?" She asked with a slurred speech. "Yeah it's me, wtf you been doing to yourself girl" "wtf it look like nigga, trynna survive in these streets, you made it big and left my ass never looking back" "Nall shawty, you know why I left your trifalin ass you killed my fucking seed" I said getting pissed regretting I even got out the truck. " I swear I thought I was making the best choice for us at the time, look, let's get something to eat and talk about this, we can make this work Auggie" "Na'll Kim, it ain't happening, you lost your Auggie when you took my seed from me." "Smh, I'm sorry, I was scared, I didn't want to raise a child by myself, look at me, what was I gonna do if you weren't around, you were gonna end up just like your brother, DEAD" when she said those words I reacted before I had a chance to think about it && I chocked her ass up against the fence. "Don't you ever speak on my motherfucking blood again" I spat clinching my jaw tight, I dropped her back down to the ground and she grabbed her throat gasping for air. I spat on her and told her she was pathetic and started walking back towards the truck. "August, wait!" She yelled behind me. I turned around and looked "Umm let me suck your dick for a few dollars, I'm hungry, I'll make it feel just like old times" she said licking her lips still holding her neck. "Bitch you need help" I said in disgust && hopped back in the truck. Big J pulled off while asking if I was good I told em yeah and we proceeded to the airport. It was an awkward silence between Jadore and me for the first time since we started kicking it and I knew why, before I could tell her what just transpired she broke the silence first and asked, "Was that her...your ex?" She asked looking me dead in the eyes. "Yeah, I'm sorry you had to see-" "No, it's okay Aug, I understand." She said snuggling up under me. I just laid my head back and played in her soft hair...damn, I think she really does understand a nigga.
