Right By My Side [Book 4]

Chapter 23

RECAP: CHAPTER 22

JUST DIALOGUE.

August just taps his fingers onna arm part of the chair meanwhile I stare at him 'til one of us breaks the silence. "Wanna tell me why you thought it was a good idea to tell niggas our business?" He asks.

"I can explain err'thang, but first thing firsts, do you still have any feelin's fo' me?" I ask him.

Nicki Minaj POV

From that moment on I knew it was a big mistake fo' even askin' August if he still felt somethin'. Truth be told,  I kinda kno' he still do, I just want him to validate that, but wit'out bein' too drunk to remember. This is it the moment that I've been waitin' on.  Here we are face to face and neither of us have yet to say a word. I already asked the question, same as he, but no answers yet.

I'll be the first to admit that I prolly risked a whole lot but the fact is, is that I can't keep pretendin'. I'm sick of playin' this role as a friend, I ain't sign up fo' it. Maybe inna beginnin' but things change, people change. I changed. I finally realize that I can't keep goin' to bed alone wit' August livin' a lie.

That whole Bianca scam is a lie and I'm pretty sure he only wit' her 'cause of that damn baby. Damn this is one thing I can go wit'out knowin' bruh. The guilt of not tellin' him is what's killin' me tho'.

"Answer mines then I'll answer yours." August took a deep breath sayin'. I just look him in his eyes and try to avoid answerin' him. But, I can't. It's unavoidable.

"I wanted a fresh start August." I said wit' a smirk on my face. "Now, you answer."

"Cute," he grins and nods his heads. "Like seriously why Nick?"

"I answered yours, now answer mines." I said.

"No, I don't." August said.

"Lie again." I said in anger.

I get up from outta my chair and walk over to August and growl while crossin' my arms in annoyance. This nigga really tickin' me off like I kno' this nigga lyin' hard like shit. Just be honest fo' once.

"You already kno' how I feel Nicki.'' August said.

"Well then refresh my memory." I said.

August Alsina POV

"Well then refresh my memory." I said.

When Nicki said that I was kinda pissed but I ain't bouta fall in her traps again. Didn't I tell her before like why I gotta explain it again. Nah man nah I ain't finna do it this time.

"Guess it ain't that important if you don't 'member." I said.

"August, admit it then that's it." Nicki said.

"Admit what Nicki? What you wanna hear?" I yell at her.

"That you still love me dammit!" Nicki shouts back.

"You not gonna get that fuckin' answer outta me Nicki." I shout.

"And why is that nigga? 'Cause of that phony bitch that you fuckin' wit'?!" Nicki said pissed.

"I love you, not her. She ain't shit and she will neva be shit August!" Nicki said.

"Nicki I can't love you if all I can see is you and think of ya lies!" I yell.

"Then let's start over August. Me and you. Right here. Right now." Nicki said.

"I gotta child onna way. I can't love you when you hurt me." I said.

"I'm sorry August. I really, truly am." Nicki said.

"Won't change the fact of me wantin' to marry ya." I said.

"I think that answers err'thang." I said.

"And what does that answer exactly?" Nicki puffs up her chest.

"Me lovin' you." I said back.
