Poison Ivy

Ivy 19

Aaron POV:

I laugh pulling my head back. I get up and he follows me in the kitchen. I pull out the lasagna from the oven.

"Damn, nigga. I ain't eat your food in so long."

I chuckle. "Shit. Me too." We laugh. I take out two plates and fix us a plate. "I knew deep down that Rose was a good girl, but I feel like I took her for granted man. I guess the saying, 'you never know what you have until you lose it.' Is true."

"Yeah. I definitely know how you feeling." He chuckles, shaking his head. I narrow my eyes. We sit down and start eating.

"This shit is good, man. Your ass don't need a wife. Shit, we all don't. All our asses can cook."

I laugh and shake my head. "You really dumb. Shit, I loved that shit, coming home to a home cooked meal, with my son and girl." I chuckle. "I should have wifed her ass."

He frowns. "You loved her, huh?" I nod. "Than why do you keep talking about her like she's the one who's dead?"

I stop eating. "I don't know man. It's like she has disappeared from the face of the earth. Talking about dead people, Red called me last night."

"Shit. He called my ass too. Talking about how he saw Rita. That nigga crazy."

"Yeah, but I couldn't help think. If Rita is alive, she would definitely be with Rose."

He stops eating. "Yeah, but Red cannot find her. Listen man, Red is being played by his guilty conscience. Its perfectly normal."

"But, Red has killed a lot of people and he has-"

"He knew her personally. We all did. She was like our lil sis, man. He grew fond of her and now he did all that shit that he did and now she's dead. He can't apologize to nobody. That shit is haunting him and he is seeing her."

I sigh. "Maybe. When you said you could relate to how I feel, were you talking about my sister?"

He sighs and nods. "Yeah, man."

August POV:

I get out my car. I finally decided to go and see my mama. We talked, about a lot and how I need to let go and accept that Rita is dead. I think I'm finally starting to accept. I haven't been out like this, just me, myself and I in years and it feels good. Since my brother died, I've had bodyguards with me. I chuckle. I remember Red being persistent about it. He wouldn't back down. I sigh. I miss that Red. My mama thinks I should reach out, but I don't know. I don't want to fix things with someone who doesn't see the wrong that he did.

I walk inside the store. My mama sent me to buy her some ingredients for a peach cobbler. I take the green basket and start searching for the ingredients. I bump into someone, causing our stuff to fall.

"Shit. I'm sorry."

I bend down to help her pick our stuff up. I stand up and she takes my hand and I pull her up. Damn. She's beautiful. She has green eyes like Aaliyah. Caramel smooth skin and black hair. She smiles.

"Thank you. I'm Nicole." She hold her hand out for a hand shake. I smirk and shake her hand. "I'm August." She smiles.

"Mmm. Ingredients for a peach cobbler?"

I chuckle and nod. "Yeah. My mama sent me to get them."

"You are single."

I chuckle. "So I have to be single for my mama to make me a peach cobbler?"

She nods. "I mean I don't see a ring and you wouldn't be standing here with me, staring into my eyes and burning holes into my body." I smile and laugh.

"Mhm, ight, I am single. I'm guessing you are too."

"Just got divorced."

My eyes widen. I clear my throat. How old is this women?

"Oh. I'm sorry."

"No need to apologize. It's not your fault."

"Well, for what it's worth, he is a fool for divorcing you."

"I agree. It was nice meeting you, August."

I smirk. "It was nice meeting you too, Nicole."

She turns to leave and my eyes immediately browse her body. "Well damn." I mumble. I shake my head and turn to continue with my shopping.

Red POV:

"Baby, stop. You are making me dizzy."

I sigh and sit down. I haven't been myself since seeing Rita and my niggas don't even believe me. They think I'm going crazy.

I look at her. "So you did see her too, right?"

She frowns and covers her mouth. "Baby, what's going on? You are scaring me."

"No. Baby, you don't understand. That girl is supposed to be dead. We buried her in New Orleans, 3 months ago and now she's here. I told my niggas, but they don't believe me. They think I'm crazy."

"Who? What girl? Who is the girl you saw?"

"She's the girl I've been having dreams about the past month. I did something unforgivable to her and I've just been feeling guilty and wanting to apologize, but she was 'dead', babe."

"What did you do? Who is this girl?"

I sigh. "She and my nigga August- they weren't dating, but they did have a very strong connection. I just hurt her, because I thought she wanted to get me and my niggas killed. She was like my lil sis."

She frowns. "Baby I'm lost. What is it that you got yourself into?"

I sigh. "You know what I use to do in NOLA. I wrote my name on her shoulder, because I knew Aug wasn't going to kill her or allow any of us to kill her. He loved her too much."

She gasps and moves back. "What? Which name? Red?"

I nod. "I was so mad that she would do that shit. We trusted her with everything. She than jumped in front of the bullet that was meant for August and she died. Well, now she's alive."

"Maybe you should go to New Orleans. Go to her grave? Baby, you've been having dreams about her."

I sigh. "I don't know."
