Creepin' 2: Eternal Love🦋

Thirty-Six.

November 14th- Angel & Elijah's Gender Reveal Party/Baby Shower👶🏽

-

"Hey, you okay?", August asks leaning back on the sink, watching her do her hair.

"I mean yeah, sure.", Kennedy says fluffing out her curls before picking up her mascara.

"If you're not up for going, I'm sure they'll understand.", he says. "No, I'm going. I mean this is our friends' baby, we have to go. Plus I'm the one who has the confetti for the reveal.", she says closing her mascara and putting it in her makeup bag. "Aight Ken.", he sighs, walking out of the bathroom.

August
As much as I would love to say Ken has at least gotten a little better since her breakdown earlier this week, I can't. She's still not sleeping through the night, she's barely eating, and this is the most she's talked to me. Otherwise, I can barely get two words out of her.

"Hey baby!", Angel exclaims seeing Ken and Aug walk in. "Hey.", Ken says with a small smile and giving her a side hug, due to her belly being in the way, "How are you mommy?", she asks. "I'm great, excited to find out my baby's gender.", she smiles.

"My nigga.", Elijah says dapping August up. "What's good father to be?", he asks softly punching his shoulder. "Dealing with her fucked up hormones, weird pregnancy cravings, and nausea. It's gotten better, but before it was terrible.", he says. "Sounds about right.", he chuckles.

"Oh, here y'all go. You guys pull the string from the bottom and the confetti shoots out from the top.", Kennedy says handing the mini confetti cannons to Elijah and Angel. "Okay, thanks again for getting this done.", Angel says. "Anything for aunties' baby.", she says with a closed mouth smile. "Y'all got them meatballs?", August asks. "Hell yeah we got 'em. They over there on the table.", Elijah says. "My nigga!", he chuckles dapping him up, "You want some babe?", he asks looking at Ken, who's staring off into space. "Huh? Oh no I'm fine.", Ken says, making Angel's eyebrow raise.

"I'm just gonna go find us a couple seats.", Ken says walking away as Aug does the same, going to the food table. "They seem off to you?", Elijah asks looking down at Angel. "Very. Ken never turns down food, especially those meatballs cause she always looks forward to them being at gatherings.", Angel says. "And they're separated. When have you ever seen Aug and Ken not together in the same room? Even if they are doing different shit. You see him, you see her too.", he says. "Exactly.", she says, "Should we say something?", she asks.

"Hell no. If it's one thing Aug hates, it's people in his business unless he makes it their business.", he says. "Same with Ken.", she sighs. "But I know my best friend and I know she isn't okay. I mean look at her Jah.", she says motioning to Ken who's once again staring off into space with her arms folded across her chest.

"I know you said you didn't want anything, but I saw they had these green grapes over there. I know they're your favorite, so I got you some.", August says sitting the plate down in front of her. "Thanks.", she smiles before eating a couple of the grapes and laying her head on his shoulder. "I miss you.", he says softly as he lays his head on hers. "I know, and I'm sorry. I'm really, really trying though babe.", she says taking his hand. "Don't apologize, I know boo." he says kissing her forehead and softly squeezing her hand.

"Aug?", a woman from afar asks, making his head pop up at the voice he hears. "Tee?", Aug asks as she continues to walk up to them as a confused look plasters over Ken's face.
