Personal Stylist

Chapter 8

Gia's P.O.V:

By the time August and I got to the restaurant, it was already 7:30. L.A. traffic is the worst. Anyway, August parked his Range Rover and turned the car off. He just looked at me and smiled. I giggled and blushed a little bit. "What?"I said. He shook his head and smiled some more. "Nothin',mama. You ready?"He asked. I nodded my head even though I knew we were both nervous as hell. "A'ight. Wait right here."He says,getting out of the car. I just sat there,trying to maintain my normal heartbeat.
August opened my door for me. And he reached his hand out for me to grab. I smiled at him. "Thank you,August."I said,after grabbing his hand and getting out of the car. "No problem,gorgeous."He says.
I giggled as he held my hand. Ohh my God,he's holding my hand! His hands are so soft! Gia,get it together. Stop acting thirsty,ya'll are just friends. Anyway,August and I walked across the parking lot. "What's the name of this restaurant again?"I asked. I was loosening up a bit. "Hold up." August said, looking up at the sign on the building. "Um... Valentino. It's an Italian restaurant."He says to me. I giggled. "How'd you know I liked Italian food?"I asked. Aug opened the door for me. "I remember these things,shawty."He says to me. I laughed and walked in. "Thank you." I said. He came in after me. "No problem, mama."He says. His New Orleans acsent is everything !! Anyway, after we walked inside, we were greeted by a female standing behind a podium. She had light brown eyes and dirty blonde hair. She looked up and smiled as she popped her gum.
Her name tag said, "Ashlynn". And she didn't look any older than 21. "Hii, welcome to Valentino's. Do you have a reservation?" She asked. August leaned against the top of the podium like he's been here before. Which, he probably has but anyway. "Hi,and yes I have a reservation for 2. This beautiful young lady and myself." He says, looking me in my blue grey eyes. If I had a dollar for every time I've blushed tonight, I'd be rich. I smiled sweetly. But I didn't say anything. What do you say to a guy who's fine as hell and he just keeps giving you compliments? Exactly. Ashlynn put on a fake smile and I could tell it was fake cause Asia use to do that everytime August brought that hoe around me. "Aw, how cute to bring your ... sister out to eat." She says. No the hell this heffa' didn't. August let out a fake laugh and grabbed my waist gently. Lawd, that grip though. "Excuse me, but she's not my sister."He said, defending me. Ashlynn popped her gum and ignored what August said. "Ohh then I assume she's your cousin?"Ashlynn says. See this is why I always had problems with jealous bitches in school. Once again, August smiled and ignored her comment. I tried to ignore her. "Anyway, what's your last name,sir?" She asked. "Alsina. August Alsina."He says. She smiled again and skimmed through the list in front of her. "There you are follow me."She said. As Ashlynn walked in front of me and August I could tell she was tryna get him to look at her nonexistent ass. She was trying way too hard. I let out a tiny giggle. Baby girl needa do squats. August looked at me and smiled. "What're you laughin at?" He asked me. I shook my head. "Here's your table."Ashlynn says. August pulled out my chair for me as I sat down. "Thank you,August."I said gently. "No problem, mama."He says. My smile disappeared when I noticed that Ashlynn was still standing there. I ignored her and looked at my menu. "So,um is there anything you guys need ?" She said, paying more attention to August. Thirsty trick!
"No,we're good."August says. Ashlynn didn't budge. She smiled. "Are you sure?"She asked him, playing in her hair. "I'm positive." August says. "Okay. Let me know if you need anything." She says walking away. Thot. August shook his head. "Everywhere you go girls swoon all over you, huh ?"I joked. He smiled. "Well what do you expect,Gi ? I'm August Alsina."He says, poppin' his collar. I giggled. "You are so conceited."I told him. "Nah, I'm just playin'."He says to me. I smiled. "Mhm." I said, looking at my menu again. "Girls may swoon over me but guess who I'm with right now?"He says. I look up at him again. "I'm out with ya' beautiful ass."He says, grabbing my hand from across the table. My hart was jumping at this point. I was lost for words.
