August POV:

Dis has been tha best year. We juss celebrated our anniversary a week or two ago. Juss Mariah and I. Let's juss say it was fun lol. Lil Aug juss turned two and NeNe juss turned one. He's protective ova NeNe and he's only two. At ha party, I guess a lil two year nigga tried ta holla and Lil Aug said 'Nah. Back up'. Not verbally lol...his action showed it. I can only imagine what he gonna be like when dey get olda. James is some where else. He eventually tol' me tha reason as ta why he had ta stop managin' me. So I undastood er'thang and na...I'm stuck wit Draya. She's a dope ass manager. Although ha and MeMe argue almost er'day. I warn Draya not ta get ha bad side. Half tha time I have ta hold MeMe back. MeMe be ready ta beat ha ass. Well...except dat one day dey got in a fight frfr. Draya threw ha drink on ha and MeMe got heated. She blacked out. If it wasn't fa me, Chris, and David...she woulda been in tha hospital. And dis was juss last week! So Draya had ta leave. She was off fa a few days. And since I'm goin' in ta'day, we needa talk. When I got there, she was there talkin' ta David

Me: "D. Can you leave fa a few?"

He nods and walks out and I sit in tha rollie chair in front of Draya

Me: "Do you enjoy pissin' off Mariah fa yo own entertainment?"

Draya: "Ion do anything to her..."

Me: "So you'ont do shit? It's...all ha fault?"

Draya: "Ion do shit what so ever..."

Me: "Draya. You start all tha shit. Mariah don't do shit ta you. It's like when she comes in...you automatically mean mug tha fuck outta ha. Then you talk out tha side of yo neck. Juss last week you threw yo drink on ha. Then on top of dat...my kids were hea'. Dat shit ain't coo'..."

Draya: "Well tell her to stay in her lane and keep her mouth shut. If she did that, then I wouldn't have to do shit like that. I feel threaten by that..."

Me: "Ion needa do shit. And you'ont think she feels threaten.What chu needa do...is respect Mariah. You stay in yo lane. Cuz at tha end of tha day...you're juss a manager. You have...one of two choices. You can eitha respect my wife when she walk up in hea' and do yo job. Or get fired. Point blank period. And if you'ont go wit tha first one...Ion mind findin' anotha manager. There's alotta people dat would love ta take yo place. Trust me. Na which one you choose?..."

She juss looks at me. I'm juss waitin' on a reply

Draya: "*sighs* Fine. I'll apologize to her. She's you're wife so I'll respect her. I'm sorry..."

Me: "Smart choice. If dis shit happen again...you're done. Imma fire yo ass on tha spot and won't give a fuck who's 'round when I do it. Got it? Cuz next time...Imma juss let ha beat yo ass and all Imma do is sit back and watch..."

She nods and I get up and David comes back in. Dis shit betta go through ha head. Fa'real...
