Under the Influence

Cheyenne Alvarez
After Hanging Up

Once I finally calmed down I decided to talk to August mom. Our relationship was never truly good, and it's still not okay. I believe that woman hates me to be honest. As I knocked on her front door, she opened it looking annoyed by my presence.

"Miss Nia, can we talk please?" She looked at me for awhile then stepped aside.

"Come in. You look like you have been crying all day, but at the same time it doesn't amount to all the crying August has done over you for the past five years." She said.

This woman is brutally honest, and doesn't sugarcoat anything. August did not get that trait from her. One thing I know for sure August has got from her is her cleanliness. Nia's house never looked a mess whenever I was over here. I sat down on the couch and played with my fingers. We occasionally have conversations, but that is rare.

"So, let  me take a wild guess. You want to talk about how Auggie is acting huh." She said sipping some of her red wine.

"Yes. I don't get it. I know everything I did was wrong, but this is out of her character."

Nia laughed, taking another sip of her wine. "Baby, that there is an Alvarez man. Regardless of the fact August is pronounced as a female and was raised to be who she is, she is one of the men in that family. Dante, her father as you know, was the same way when his heart was broken. Actually that is how we had August. It lasted for a couple of months. I really wanted a child, and because Dante and I were best friends at the time, still are, he didn't mind giving me that. It's dangerous becuase you dont know who has a sexaul transmitted diseases. The Alvarez family can be very petty, and sometimes it changes for the best."

"But the picture."

"Dante has done the same thing like that MANY times before. What you did was create a monster that everyone is going to want. August doesn't like being the center of attention, that's not her thing, but when she doesn't give a fuck anymore than you get that. Besides I knew when she was a baby that she was not going to be a small one. I mean her dad is far from the word small, more towards monster. Hell Sequan isn't either, and I've been there for him too. He may not be my son, but he is. Now I'm fighting the urge to smack the shit out of you. Let's get some things straight, I never truly liked you. You seemed  like a fast ass little girl, and you proved it. Now out of respect for your mother because she is an amazing lady, I know she didnt raise you to be like this. I don't make empty threats because it doesn't make sense to threaten someone then don't act one it. "

I didn't want to say anything because she will act on it. I've seen it before.

"Those Alvarez men are a different breed. You fucked up. Tuh, I couldn't handle it, but I'm perfectly fine with Tyreese. Now is that all you wanted to talk about because August is a grown ass woman, and there isn't anything I can do."

"Go home, I can't stand you." Kiana laughed.

"Come on you might be the Kiki Drake been talking about. Like your middle name is Brielle, so people could call you KB. Come on now it makes sense." I said, "So you fucked Drake?"

"Go home Roger!" She yelled trying to push me off of her.

"Who the fuck is Roger, you cheating on me with a white dude. Not you too." Knowing the reference that she said.

"Okay okay, I have to anyway ma wants me to cook. I might do hot wings, and cheese fries. Hopefully they didn't cheat and continue to watch Penny Dreadful." I said getting up from my comfortable spot, which is me laying between her legs resting my head on her boobs.

"Drive safe Pooh, oh and the next time you break that promise I'm smacking you. It will not be some gentle ass smack, I'm smacking you like you cheated on me and I caught you with the bitch okay. I know it's hard but you need to quit anyway."

"Hell I might need a perc if you're going to smack me like that, but I will try my hardest not too. It's just you know how much I cared for her and seeing her cry almost made me comfort her. I mean we've been together for five years, I can't just turn my feelings off like that." I said, putting on my Dickies jacket. She grabbed a hold of my jacket and pulled me down. Holding myself up on the back of the couch, she kissed me slowly.

"I'm not saying quit cold turkey, which you should, but you slow down on them. If you can't trust yourself with them, then just hand them to me. I don't want you to die over a bitch, and that's what she is. You're so much stronger than that August." I smiled, and gave her a kiss.

"Thank you Kiana."
