*3 months later - November*
*Thanksgiving Day*
August POV:
Outside of my revenge plotting...life has been amazing. My marriage is beautiful. Na that MeMe knows that she can completely open up ta me without bein' scared. Or hesitant. We've gotten closer as husband and wife. Best friends, too!
It's Thanksgiving and we pretty much have everybody hea' in Georgia. Thank God fa our big dining room.
I have some family members from NOLA that I'm close wit. MeMe took tha initiative ta invite ha Aunt Brittany {Just a reminder, she's played by Pam Grier}. They talk more na. And it's probably as close as she'll get to ha mom.
As MeMe was setting tha table, I wrap my arms around her waist then kiss her cheek. She looks at me and smiles.
Me: "Ya know. We can dip na and go have a nice...dope ass quickie..."
Mariah: "No.." She says as she laughs. "I'm not about ta have them questioning me. Giving me tha third degree..."
Me: "Just say you plead tha fifth..."
She looks at me and I smile.
Mariah: "Freak ass..."
Me: "And that's why you love me..."
I kiss her forehead then look at her.
Me: "But nah. On some real stuff...I'm proud of you. You're building that relationship wit your aunt. Tha fact that you reached out...really says you're tryin'. And that really makes her happy..."
Mariah: "Hey...she took tha time out ta find me. Better build that bond while she's still alive and walkin' this earth. Don't wanna miss out on that..."
Me: "That's my girl..."
I peck her lips and she kisses me back. Then Mike walks in...
Michael: "A nigga hungry!"
Me: "Impatient ass nigga!"
Michael: "Do I have to do everything?"
Mariah: "*laughs* Lord. Let me go get this food."
Me: "Nah. I got it. You juss chill. You done too much already..."
Mariah: "Thank you..."
She walks off and I juss watch biting my lip.
Michael: "Nigga!"
I slowly look at him.
Me: "Can I not enjoy tha view of my wife?!"
Michael: "Not right now. No..."
I walk past him and go in tha kitchen. We take tha food in tha dining room and call everyone else in. I pull out Riah seat and help her sit. Then I pull out Cha seat.
Chandra: "This was sweet of y'all ta have this get together..."
Mariah: "We enjoy tha company. Plus...it's family time. Y'all are my family..."
Michael: "And I love y'all, too" He says with a big smile
Me: "Nigga. I know yo ass not about ta cry..."
Michael: "I'm sensitive..."
Bresha: "Speaking of family. When are y'all having another beybe?"
Me: "Dang. Straight wit it, huh?"
Bresha: "Yup!"
I look at MeMe and she smiles and nods.
Me: "In two months."
