Poison Ivy

Ivy 34

August(Yungin)POV:

I wake up to someone knocking on my hotel door. Seriously? Seriously? I haven't slept in hours and now that I am, someone knocks at my door? I lazy get up and go open the door.

"What?" I snap. Its Beverly. I roll my eyes. "C'mon Bev... why'd you wake me up?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were asleep. I thought I should bring you lunch."

I sigh. "Come in."

She walks in with the food in her hands. She sets them down on the table. I rub over my eyes and heard back to my room. I put on a shirt and go to the bathroom to brush my teeth. After I was done decide to take a shower. Why did I even put in the shirt? I shake my head and finish my business.

Ok. I needed that shower. I walk into my room and put on my clothes. I walk out and walk in the sitting room, where Bev is. I sit next to her and look at her.

"Wassup? Why did you bring me lunch?"

"I didn't want to eat alone and you the first person that came to mind. So, you hungry?"

I sigh. "I could eat. Thanks, by the way."

"Welcome."

I help her fix the plate and we eat in silence. Thank goodness. I need to think. I'm so pissed and frustrated about a lot of things, right now.

Rita not telling me about her pregnancy. Red being shot, almost killed. What am I going to tell Nicole when I get home? I was actually starting to really see a future with this girl. I haven't cheated on her since sleeping with Rita. I actually love her. She is everything I need. She calms me. She loves me. She knows when and how to put me in check. She knows how to talk to me. When to leave the room. She doesn't meddle in my business. She gives me space to breath. She loves me. She takes care of me. She is just perfect.

"What's on your mind? You seem frustrated. Conflicted even."

I sigh. "I'm just thinking about everything that's happened, that's all. What am I even going to tell Nicki?"

She looks down. "That's really your baby?"

I nod and sigh. "Yeah."

"She told you that?"

"Not really. I mean I told her that that's my child and she didn't deny it. We haven't really talked about it."

"Damn. And you really love Nicki?"

I nod and rest my head in my hands. "I promised I wouldn't hurt her again."

"I like Nicki for you. She's a good person and she is actually the first girlfriend of yours that likes me and I like too."

I chuckle. "Come to think of it, I never seen or heard y'all quarrel." She smiles and shrug. "Well, like I said, she's a good person. Let me ask you something."

I nod, looking at her. "I've known you for a very long time. We practically grew up together and I've never seen you so stuck on a girl before."

I frown, not understanding where she is going or coming from with this. She sighs. "I'm talking about Rita. Every girl that comes into your life, Rita seems to ruin it and than she leaves you to clean up the mess on your own, when it was both of you who created it. Is that the kind of person you want in your life?"

I keep quiet, not knowing what to say to what she just asked. Damn. She turns her body to face mine. "Look, I believe she loves you, but if we are being technical and rational, you'll never be good enough for her, in her eyes and society. She's a doctor, you are a drug lord. She's had many chances to be with you, many times you have chosen her, but she has never chosen you. She has never accepted this lifestyle of yours and I don't think she ever will. She is good, you are... bad. Look, all I'm trying to say is, you should stop ruining everything good that is happening in your life for Rita. Yes, she loves you, you love her, but Aug, I don't think you are someone she wants to take to her family and introduce, or to her doctor friends or anyone she meets who has had that kind of education and is on her league. August, she keeps running away from you, she was willing to keep you away from your baby's life. I haven't lived long enough, but with the years I've lived and everything I've seen, women like her are dangerous. She was willing to sacrifice her friendship with her friend, as long as you didn't know about that baby. She'll do anything to protect that baby, even if it means killing you. You saw her at the hospital. She's not the same Rita. I never liked her, but I can't deny the fact that she had a certain light within her, some sort of innocence, good in her, but it died. The old Rita would have never shot you. No matter what. She's grown out of her shell and I have to say, she's not a cub anymore, she's a lioness, carrying your cub. Your spirit burns inside her and it has awaken up a beast."
