New Beginnings

Chapter 5

August

"Hey man." I called to get T's attention.

"Wassup Yung?"

"You spoke to Alei today?"

"Nah why?"

"I've been trying to call her all day but she ain't been answering."

"Nah. She ain't call me." He shook his head.

Honestly speaking, I was beginning to worry. Seeing that it was after four in the afternoon, usually by now we would have been talked at least five times.

"Man this starting ta freak me out. What if she went into labor?" I looked at T. "Fuck! What if something happened ta her?" I began panicking.

Pulling back out my phone, I searched fa Shay's number.

"What if she just sleeping?" T looked at me.

"Nah man. I know my girl. She would be up. Something ain't right."

"Hello."

"Shay!"

"Nigga why are you shouting. The fuck is wrong with you?"

"You spoke ta Alei taday? I've been tryna call her but she ain't answering?"

"That's because she is sleeping August! She's been sleeping most of the day."

"Oh." I calmed down.

Looking at T, he just shook his head as he laughed to himself.

"Well tell ha to call me when she gets up."

"No problem."

Ending the call, I put my phone in my pocket and exhaled. As the days lessen, I was becoming more paranoid than anything.

Trey had called me yesterday letting me know that my plan was in motion. I had asked him to take Alei furniture shopping but not to let her know.

"You need to calm down goon. You gonna make her get more paranoid than she already is."

"Yea you right." I nodded. "Wait? What you mean already is? Alei is paranoid over the pregnancy?"

"More over you being on the road. Y'all gotta chill Yung. Y'all gon make ma God baby come out looking crazy."

"I got ya man." I nodded.

Packing my things, we made our way down ta that car that was waiting. I had an interview then meet and greet before my show tonight.

Honestly I was ready to be done with this tour. I just wanted to be back home with my girl and a nigga couldn't express that shit enough.

"You think they gonna ask you anything about you and Alei?"

"Probably. I mean its been what a couple months since we faked our break up." I laughed.

"Y'all been doing good with it too." He laughed.

"That's how shit be when both you and your girl private."

Not too long after, we pulled up at the studio. Getting out we made our way in and as soon as I was spotted, the announcer made it known.

"We got August Alsina in the building."

"Hey man wassup?" I nodded as I put on my headphones.

"So talk to us man. How things been going? How's tha tour?"

"Man shit been dope. Being on tha road just giving my fans what they want and getting that love back been an experience fa ya boy."
