The Bestfriend

Chapter 9

August POV

"Stop being so bashful Mo. get something I understand but I am taking you shopping." I sighed.

"August just get something for yourself you already bought me a lot. I am so grateful for all of it." I sighed and she sighed.

"Like I know why you are doing this and it pisses me off Mo." she sighed.

"August don't get upset I just don't feel the need for all of this unnecessary stuff." She grabbed me.

I know why she is doing this and I hate when she does this.

We got back to Hotel suite and I was heated. It's not that I don't appreciate her tryna secure my bag but that is only half of why she won't let me buy her stuff.

"Are you still mad at me?"

I am one second from blowing up.

"You need to realize my name is not Monty or whatever that nigga name is." I said tryna remain calm.

"What do he have to do with this." She jerked her head.

"Stop making pay for that niggas ways. Monty, your dad is not me, August. Get that shit understood. Baby when I give you something it's because I want to and you deserve it not to have it over you head."

"August I just-"

"Don't fucking lie to me!" I yelled and she instantly got quiet. "Monique you don't have to worry about me turning into your bitch ass dad. If I take you shopping you don't have to fucking window shop just pick that shit up and let's go. Its that fucking simple. You let that nigga dictate our life. You scared I am going move you in with me and treat you like shit. That not me and I would never do you like that. Do you know how much you mean to me? Huh? Do you know how I would be if I lost you?"

"August I am not even worried about my mom and dad."

"Yes you are! See you are lying to me and I am getting pissed."

"You are already mad though August." She sighed and flopped on the couch.

"Because you are lying Monique!" She jumped at my tone. "Tell me why you don't want me to buy you a house in the A. Tell me why you don't like me spend over a certain amount of money on. Why you don't wanna move in with me."

"Because I don't wanna depend on you for everything. That is not a bad thing."

"Yes it is because it's not that you don't want to it's that you feel like you are scared to. I don't want you to feel like you can't ask me for something." I expressed.

"August just calm down." She sighed.

"I am as calm as I am gonna get because you-"

"August stop yelling at me! You act like I am this way for no reason. I don't mean to make you feel like that. I am just protecting myself. I don't fucking choose to be this fucking way!" She yelled. "Plus for one I won't move in with you August you have a fucking girlfriend! Stop forgetting that! I mean I ain't pressured by no bitch when it comes to you so don't get it fucked up. But she walks in and out that house and she has a key which I think is fucking stupid as fuck but it's none of my business."

"If you stop acting stupid. You could have the key and me and the whole house but you act fucking- oh my fucking god!" I yelled in frustration.

"Can you just get me a flight home because." She pulled out her phone and dismissed the whole conversation.

I grabbed her phone and threw it at the wall.

"No you didn't." She started taking off her heels and she stood up on the couch and took off her jacket. "You got me fucked up." She tied up her hair.

"What. What you gone do?" She jumped on me and started beating me the fuck up.

Monique POV

"Why the fuck would you do that shit. You stupid fucking-"

"Aye stop fucking hitting me!" He tried to restrain me but I kept swinging. "I am not fucking playing!"

"I don't give a fuck." I kept beat him the fuck up. "Got me fucked up."

"Chill the fuck out!"

"You wanna break my phone now I am going beat you the fuck up."

"Aye y'all chill." T yelled. "What the fuck?" He picked me up.

"T put me the fuck down he got me fucked up." I said breathlessly. "Anthony I swear!" I screamed and I felt my emotions take over.

I started crying because I was mad and because I was sad.

"T put me down." He put me down carefully. "August just get me home because you got me so fucked up." I cried.

"You ain't going nowhere." He walked over to me.

"I don't wanna be here." I cried.

He pulled me into a hug.

"Aye we cool." He dismissed them.

"August send me home before I call my- I cant even call my mom." I cried even harder.

It was one of them cries that make you realize you got a lot to cry for.

"I am sorry Monique."

"Get off of me." I pushed him away but he held me tighter. "August I don't mean to make you feel any type of way. I don't do it on purpose it just happens naturally." I cried.

"Listen I know and I need to learn to control my temper because that was unnecessary and I am gonna get you another phone tomorrow." I nodded. "Hey stop crying. I apologize baybeh. I overreacted and it was the heat of the moment."

"I apologize too." He kissed me.

Somebody knocked on the door.

He let me go and answered it.

"Y'all good?" T asked and I nodded. "Y'all are fucking too much." I laughed softly.

"Yeah we good man and we got to get ready I gotta be a the club in a hour." T nodded and left out.

"Come on." He grabbed me.
