Fatal Attraction : Atlanta

2. Visiting Day

*August in Media, August Alsina's video 'Sucka' in Media*

Sorry for the delay!

August

"Uncle Aug, where ya goin'?" My youngest neice, Allona, exclaimed while runnin' towards me, grabbin' on my foot.

"I'm goin' dawn to the jail to see ya daddy." I said, pickin' her up to kiss ha' cheek and place ha' on my hip.

"Oh."

Allona had the sadest look on ha' face that It made my heart drop. She don't even rememba' ha' own daddy. She was only 2 yea's old when he went in, and he already wasn't around them that much, out hea' in these streets. That's why his ass locked up na'.

My brotha', Melvin, is doin' a 3 yea' bid in jail because he was caught sellin' drugs. Melvin and I were one of the hottest drug deala's known IN THE SOUTH, sellin' the most deadliest substances - strongest weed from Cali and Mexico, purest cocaine imported from Colombia, heroine, angel dust, roofies, ecstasy - you get tha' picture.

Na' that he's been locked up, I been keepin' the empire runnin' since. It's been hard, but thangs been improvin' since he left. More supplies, more money, more clients and more connects. That's exactly what we been needing. That's all me right thea'.

"Dont be sad, 'Lona. He's gettin' out in 3 months, and I kno' he can't wait to see all y'all." I stated, kissin' Allona on hea' forehead and puttin' hea' down.

I headed towards the door, pulling out my keys from my pocket. "Aight, y'all. Uncle Mike comin' ova; ta' watch y'all while I'm at the jail. Can I trust y'all ta' be good while I'm out?" I asked my 3 neices.

"Yeeesss Uncle August !"

"Mmmhm. Yea, wateva'."

I reached for tha' doorknob to turn it. "I luh y'all." I opened the door and closed it behind me. I heard lil' screams and laughs from the outside. "He is so cute, that's my new boyfriend, y'all!" I heard someone yell. I shook my head and thought about what the hell they could be thinkin' about doin' while I'm away. Betta' not be no little boys in thea' when I come back. My niece's are too young to be crushin' on boys, I thought lil guh's were all about Barbie dolls and Easy Bake Ovens, shit of that nature.

I hopped in my whip, a clean, white Land Range Rover and started the ignition. When I turned on my radio, My song 'Sucka' blasted through my speakers.

I have a deep passion for writin' music and singin' it and I hope to be discova'd someday, but right na' - time in the studio ain't payin' all the bills. So until a opportunity comes my way, Ima be cookin' and whippin' 'till that day comes.

Today was gonna be a good day.

I woke up today and a smile automatically stretched across my face. I was heading to the jail to visit my mommy today.

Although my mom hasn't seen Bonnie in a long time, I didn't wanna bring her around that kind of environment. For that reason, Issy said she would watch her for me. I hopped out of bed and ran to the bathroom to brush my teeth.

After I finished, I flossed and gargled with Listerine Cool Mint Mouth Wash and spit it out into the sink. After that, I went to the bed where Issy and Bonnie slept, snuggled up together. I gave both of them a kiss on the cheek and watched them shift a little in their sleep.

I undressed out of my over sized gray sweatshirt that read 'Hip Hop Legends', that had Biggie Smalls, Tupac and Eazy E on it and my lavender Victoria Secrets panties and hopped into the shower. Once everything was washed, I got out the shower, dried off and lotioned up with my Wild Madagascar Vanilla Body Cream from Bath & Body Works.
