It was 12:30 in the afternoon, and I heard a lot of noises coming from the kitchen. I hate being woke up out of my sleep. Ever since I was a kid, I was always be cranky if I was awoken out of my sleep. I guess it carried on as I got older.

I decided to take a shower because earlier August hit my dm's saying he wanted to show me downtown New Orleans at around 2ish. So I needed to get ready.

Hopping in the shower, I heard Gonna Love Me by Teyana Taylor playing through my speakers. People say I look like her all the time. I probably can sing like her too, but I'm not even going to try.

After my shower, it was 1:30. Damn I always spend a hour in the shower. When I heard my phone vibrating, I grabbed it and I answered it. Not knowing it was August.

"Hello?"

"Damn mama, its just me."

"Oh shit, my bad.. I was trying to get ready and I didn't hear my phone until I got out the shower."

"Its coo' baybeh.. I'll be ova' at like 2:30. A nigga gotta go handle sum'."

"Okay that's cool. Gives me more time to get ready."

August laughed. "Facts..I'll see ya' lata' mama."

"Okay boo."

We both hung up the phone at the same time, and I looked at the time and it was almost 2. I brushed my teeth, and put my hair into a messy bun. I did my edges and then I looked at myself in the mirror. I grabbed my nose rings and attempted to put them in my nose.

"Fuck!" I semi-yelled. "Shit hurt like fuck."

After I finished putting my nose rings back in my nose, I walked in my room and began to put lotion on my legs. Once I was all good, I looked in my closet, and put on a hoodie, some tights, and my black uggs shoes on. It took me almost 10 minutes to find my jean jacket but I found it and I put it on.

I put on my perfume, and I heard the doorbell ring. Looking out the door, August's car was parked outside. I hope my aunts and them won't scare him off.

I walked downstairs, and all eyes were on me.

"So this yo lil boyfriend?" My uncle Clay said causing me to laugh.

"No Uncle Clay," I said giving him a hug. "Me and August are just friends. I met him yesterday when I went to the park."

"Ohhhhhhhhh the park you say?" Tiffany said, and I flipped her off.

"Well did you use a condom?" Aunt Monasia asked me, and I shook my head while August laughed.

"And this is exactly why...Come on August," I said while grabbing August by the hand so we can leave. "We'll be back later."
