Make It Home (Sequel to Breakin' All The Rules)

Chapter 26

A/N: August, Jewel, McKayla & Mckenzie in the media.

Jewel

"Good Morning, my name is Erica I'll be the waitress this morning." A tall skinny dark skinned lady greeted us. "Can I start you all off with something to drink?" She smiled.

"I'll take a vanilla coffee." I smiled. "Girls what y'all want to drink?" I asked Mckayla anc Mckenzie.

"Apple juice!" They both cheered.

The waitress laughed as she took our drink orders. "And for you sir?" She asked August.

August cleared his throat before he spoke. "I'll take a OJ." Aug licked his lips as he looked through the menu.

"I'll be right back with those drinks."

I nodded my head as we looked through the menu. "Girls do you know what y'all want?"

"I want pancakes mommy." McKayla played with the end of her curls.

"What do you want with it?"

McKayla rested her index finger on her chin and looked up at the ceiling. "Sausages!"

I chuckled. "Okay sweetie, how about you Kenzie?"

"I don't want breakfast food, I want chicken tenders and french fries." Kenzie folded her arms.

"You don't have to eat breakfast food honey, you can have chicken tender and fries."

Kenzie face lit up after I said that. The waitress came back with little coloring books and crayons for Kenzie and Kayla. While them two was coloring August and I ordered the food.

After we ordered our food we sat at the table and talked. "I don't remember the last time I took y'all out. Which is sad right?" Aug laid his head on my shoulder.

"Not really, you be busy. I understand." It's true, I know how busy Aug be with his career. As long as he treat me and our kids right I'll be right by his side no matter what.

"It feels good as he-." I cut Aug off.

"H E double hockey stick." I cleared my throat. August stay cussing. I have to remind him that the kids are here so he needs to cut it out a bit.

Aug chuckled. "I be forgettin' man, anyways like I was sayin' it feels good to be out wit my fam. Y'all gon miss me tomorrow when I leave?"

"No." I playfully mugged him.

Aug gave me a funny look. "Good cuz' I ain' gon miss you either."

"I'm going to miss you daddy." Kayla crawled under the table and climbed into August lap. August kissed her forehead.

"And I'm gon' miss you too baby gir''."

"Hey that's not fair, I'm going to miss you too daddy." Kenzie folded her arms and pouted.

August chuckled. "Calm down lil mama, It's all good y'all both can miss me at the same time."

I face palmed myself and shook my head. McKayla always does extra things to make Kenzie jealous. I observe my kids and I see that McKayla is jealous of McKenzie, so McKayla decides to do things to make Kenzie mad.

After chatting a bit more our food finally came and we began to eat. I admit this feels lovely reuniting with my man and our kids.

After we left iHop we went to Chuck E. Cheese. August and I both hate this place with a passion, but since we love our kids so much we do these things for them. McKayla and McKenzie ran straight to the jungle gym lookin' thing with the slides and crap. I will never get in one of them things ever again, the last time I did I got stuck.

"Girls stay together, daddy and I will be waiting at the end of the slide for you both."

Kayla and Kenzie nodded there heads as they held hands and climbed up the steps. August wrapped his arms around my waist from behind and rested his chin on my shoulder.

"Baby I been thinkin' a lot." Aug said.

I furrowed an eyebrow. "About what?" My heart started pounding fast. I always panic when someone tells me they been thinking or they have a question to ask me. I don't know why, but that's just me.

"Us."

I turned around and looked deeply into August eyes. So many thoughts went through my mind, I don't know what he's about to say is good or bad but I'm hoping whatever he has to say is good.

"What about us Aug? Stop beating around the bush, you know I hate that." I folded my arms waiting for him to say something.

"Jewel I wanna marry you."

My heart dropped and I gulped. The word marriage makes me cringe because of my previous marriage. August and I been together almost 4 years, and I really do love him but I'm not sure if I'm ready to tie the knot again. Marriage is a huge step.

August grabbed my face and caressed it. "What's going through ya mind Jewel?"

I shook my head. "Nothing." I faked a smile.

August brushed it off and went to go play with the twins as they came down the slide. I know August isn't going to let this go, he'll bring it up again before the day is over with. I know he's going to be hurt if I reject his proposal, it's just something I need to think about before I make a decision.

August

After we left Chuck E. Cheese we headed back home. The girls fell asleep on the ride back home. I knew they would they wore my ass out with them games and shit. I never seen two lil girls full of energy like McKayla and McKenzie.

I laid them both in the bed and put a blanket over them. It's there nap time anyway. I cracked the door as I headed out. I seen Jewel sitting in the room on the edge of the bed. I hope she didn't think I forgot about earlier how I brung up the marriage shit. I rather her keep it real with a nigga, If you don't wanna marry me just say it straight up. I ain' got time for games real shit.

"Wassup?" I sat next to Jewel.

Jewel nervously looked up at me. "Nothing, why what's up?"

I took my hat off and laid back in the bed. I rested both of my hands behind my head as I looked at Jewel who was playing with her fingers. When Jewel has something on her mind she plays with her fingers, I peeped that shit when I first met her.

"Tell me what's on ya mind, and don't say nothing because I know it's something."

Jewel sighed. "The whole marriage thing, I don't think I'm ready."

"And why is that?" I scratched my head.

"Because of my previous marriage, I don't want the same thing to happen." Jewel stared at the carpet on the floor.

I shook my head. "I don't know why ya keep thinkin' imma fuck up. I know I'm young but I ain' like every other nigga, I ain' nothin' like ya fucked up ex."

"I know Aug."

"You keep sayin' you know, but you really don't cuz if you did you wouldn't be questionin' ya'self if you should marry me or not. You just told me last night that you see I really love and care fa' you, but I don't see that you do. You just keep pushin' me away man." I got up from the bed and slammed the bedroom door on my way out.

I need a fucking blunt!
