*Next Morning*

Mariah POV:

Last night since I slept in tha guest room, I was alone. Only cuz I'm used ta havin' Aug's arms around me when I'm sleep. Na...I'm not so sure how I feel bout those arms. His hand fa dat matta. Juss thinkin' about it made me cry. Like...dis honestly bothers me. Some of y'all may think I'm bein' dramatic and shit but I'm not. Dis isn't sittin' well wit me. Right na we tha only ones at home. NeNe's at work. Lil Aug's at an appointment wit Dee. And Lani's wit Tasha. So I'm tryin' ta avoid Aug. But I'm not doin' too good cuz he juss walked in tha kitchen. I automatically got up and walked away. But he pulled me back. Not a yank. Juss gently pulled me back wit his arms around my waist...

Me: "Please let me go"

August: "No. Babe. Are you seriously gonna ignore me fa'eva?"

I didn't answer him. I'm not even lookin' at him. His lifts my chin and turns my face ta his

August: "MeMe. Dat was my past."

Me: "It's not juss dat, August. You coulda tol' me. And past present...Ion care. Once a woman beater. Always a woman beater"

August: "Beybe I will neva in a million years hit chu"

Me: "How am I supposed ta know dat? Ion see tha Aug I married. I see tha Aug who hits women. Ion see you tha same anymoe. If you didn't know. Dat kinda shit scars you. Not only physically. But emotionally. Fa tha rest of yo life..."

August: "MeMe, I will neva hurt chu. I would neva put my hands on you. I wouldn't do anythang period ta hurt chu. Dat was my past. I love you too much ta even think about doin' some shit like dat ta you. She...pushed me ta dat point. Dats not who I am. It's outta my character. But she did shit and I could only take so much. I know it was wrong. I shouldn't have done it. And I always regret dat shit. I keep it in tha past. I'm sorry. I shoulda tol' you. I juss wanted ta fa'get about it..."

He wipes my cheeks and looks me in my eyes

August: "Bae. You're safe. And always have been and always will be. I'm neva gonna hurt chu. Dats one thang you needa undastand. It's all good. OK...?"

I juss nod my head. He pecks my lips ova and ova again. I laugh and kiss him back. We been ta'getha dis long and he hasn't done anythang. But a nigga might flip! Even though he said he would neva do it...is it a bad thang ta think it might happen?

August POV:

I honestly hope MeMe knows I would neva do shit like dat ta hurt ha. It's always gonna be in tha back of ha head. Crystal always fuckin' up good shit! Dis marriage was wonderful! And na...it juss got fucked up. Er'body knows MeMe's scarred. And er'body knows how much I love MeMe. She's prolly thinkin' Imma juss spaz out one day and er'thang gon' change. My wife doesn't see me tha same anymoe. She prolly neva will again. I love Mariah. And I love my kids. I would neva do anythang ta jeopardize my family. Dey mean tha world ta me. She juss needs ta undastand nun will happen. I juss want ha ta see August tha man she married. Not tha old August. And I know exactly how ta do juss dat...

Michael POV:

I'm startin' to think she neva gonna get ova it. If she does my prayers will be answered. She's in Atlanta while tha kids and I are in Cali. She told'em she left for business and will be back soon. I really hope she does come back soon. If y'all haven't noticed...this is tha most serious I've eva been in my life. This has to be tha one time Ion joke around bout shit. I just want B back. Cuz right now. Our relationship is all I'm focused on...
