August

"So, you heard back from her?"

Looking up from my phone, my brother walked into the room.

"I ain't messaged her."

"What you mean yeen messaged her. Nigga get at her. Let it all go down in the DMs." He joked.

Sitting there, I laughed as he sang it. Being back home was what I needed. I was able to get some time off to recouperate and relax.

"You really think I should?"

"Yea man. Its clear you're feelong shorty, so why not."

"You know Chris suppose to be meeting with her."

"For real?"

"Yeah. Her home girl replied to the message and sent a date."

"Well damn. Get them coins shorty." He laughed.

"For real. I just wish I could take back now I acted that night."

"Man you was just acting off your feelings, ain't shit wrong with that." He shrugged.

"She being childish for still ignoring you. You know how many females would be glad to be followed by August Alsina."

"Man. Its not even like that." I laughed.

"Exactly. And that's why you need to message her."

Looking back down at my phone, I pulled up her instagram.

"Who's that though?" He pointed at Sarah.

"The girl who manage the club."

"Damn she bad." He smirked.

"Let me see this."

"Nigga be careful. Ion want her to think I'm on her page."

Fanning his hand at me, he continued scrolling through her page.

"I'm going New York with you, next time."

"Man." I snatched my phone and sucked my teeth.

"What?"

"You need to focus on Tima and my niece on the way."

"I am but it don't hurt to make friends."

"It will hurt you though. Keep fucking with Tima."

"Whatever. You tryna workout today?" He asked me.

"I could do a lah something." I nodded.

"Aight well meet me downstairs in an hour." He got up and left.

Getting up myself, I moved around my room to get ready. I was still indecisive on whether I should message Misty or not but I didn't wang that to only be on my mind.

As I was about to get into the shower, my phone rang. Seeing the number, I sucked my teeth before answering it.

"Hey, wassup?"

"Hey. You back in Atlanta?" She asked.

"I am, why?"

"You want to do something later?"

"Sadë I already told you that I'm not on that anymore. I got a lot going on right now and sex is the last thing on my mind."

"Well fine then. Whatever." She mumbled.

"Ion know why you acting like this. It ain't like we together or anything."

"You're right Aug. We're not together so you got about your life and I'll do the same."
