Real Love?

Chapter 5

August and I are doing everything together. We're just enjoying each other. It is so much fun. We're learning so much about each other. I mean like everything. I don't even remember if we started the movie or just talked through it. He is such a nice guy, he really is soft too.

"I really want you to move closer. Like the house next door is on sale right now. I want you to move closer Jade." he said actin like a baby.

"I live 10 minutes away. You're being dramatic August." I said laughing

"Nah man. I serious. I wanna see you all day everyday Jade. You gotta a yungin' thinkin bout you all the damn time ma. Ion think you understand." he said seriously.

"I'll consider it." I said

"Then it's settled. Start packing and I got the bills and all tha mortgage shit." he said picking up his phone making calls to everyone.

I silently prayed, "Lord please watch over me. Very carefully. I don't know what you planned but only hope it's for the best for both me and August. Make sure you help me decide what i'm doing, and help me make the right decisions. In Jesus' Name I Pray And Believe In, Amen."

I got up from the couch and realized how late it was and snatched the phone from August.

"Hey, whats up ma?!" he said surprised.

"Do you know how late it is August? You gon wake half of the city tryna make me move next door." I said

"Ohhh...maybe that's why no one is answering now." he said looking dumb.

I laughed and went to find my jacket. I swear this house is too damn big to be playing kiddy games like scavenger hunt.

"Aye ma. Where you going this late?" August said all concerned.

"Home." i said

"With what transportation?" he said. This boy sure is sneaky. He basically planned all of this out so I would be forced into sleeping over his place.

"Wow August. I must say I am impressed by your talent of being smooth but that shit aint cool. Next time just tell me if you want me to stay over. Ok?" I said

He laughed and nodded. "All nighter tonight or nahh?" he said.

"I got this. Loser gives winner anything they want." I said knowing he would probably want a lap dance.

"Can't wait to have that lap dance!!" he said excitedly.

"Hey, where's the restroom?"

"Straight down the hall, to your left." he said.

I went to the restroom, just to make sure I looked good. I took out my toothbrush and tooth paste (just incase you're wondering, I always carry those 2 around because I always crash at one of my girls houses.) I brushed my teeth, washed my face, and redid my make up.

When I was done, I walked out to see August starting to watch The Conjuring.

"Oh my goodness. I've never seen that movie, but I heard it was really scary." I said walking to sit next to him.

"Awwww. Lil Jade gettin scared and shit. Come sit next to me, and when you're scared i'm right here to comfort you." he said grabbing my waist.

"Thanks Auggie." I said laying my head on his chest.

I waited until the movie ended to even think about sleeping, but August sure was wide awake at 3 in the morning.

"Jade, I swear I can't hear because you kept screaming so damn loud." he said laughing.

"Shut up. You know you was scared but you wanted to seem manly." I said, playfully slapping his chest.

"Soooo..whatchu wanna do now ma?"

"I don't know..not sleep. Whatever you wanna do, I will." I said

"Let's go walk around the backyard then. You change into some of my clothes if you want to." he said.

"Yeah..thanks." I smiled

He jogged to his room and came back with one of his shirts and sweats. He handed them to me and said, "Hurry up so we can walk in the dark."

"OK!!" I yelled running down the hall to the restroom to hurry and change.
