Tammy

"Babe?"

"Yeah." August answered.

"I love you." I said while playing in his hair. He was laying on my stomach between my legs while I watched my missed episodes of Power.

"I love you too." I could hear the smile in his voice.

I couldn't help but be happy that God placed this man in my life. He really helped me find myself. I thought I was living but I wasn't doing shit until I met him. Juaquin had me in a box to where I couldn't grow or become better and I guess it was all so I could just please him. If I would have stuck to my dreams I would have more than likely moved on without him.

You can't be with someone who's okay with being in the same place or wants to see you be the same and not want to grow and flourish into who you're meant to be.

You have to be with someone who wants better for you and you can grow with. Someone who pushes you to be a better version of yourself.

It hasn't been long but August has done so much for me in this small window of time. More than Juaquin ever did for me in the 8 years I was with him. I put my dreams on hold and for what? I wasted so much time but I'm glad it's all happening now and it's all happening with the people I have around me now.

"Thank you."

"For what?" He asked against my skin.

"For being there for me and helping me through my crap. For pushing me and helping me get back to my dream." I stated honestly.

"You're welcome baby. I just wanna see you win. I can't wait til you're line launches and your store opens. You out here making shit happen. I'm proud of you."

That made me feel amazing. More than he could imagine. Our website was ready to launch and the store was coming along. We were having a launch party soon and I was extremely excited. This is everything I've ever wanted and it's coming together so great. I can't help but be happy.

Even tho everything was coming together I couldn't help but feel like Draya's head wasn't all the way in it anymore. She was there physically at the meetings and everything but she seemed out of it. I didn't know what was going on but she and I need to talk and soon. I feel like she's shutting down on me and I don't like it. The last time this happened was when she was told she couldn't have children.

August had moved himself off of me and was now laying on his pillow next to me while I caught up on Power. He had already seen it but he wanted to lay up with me anyway.

I felt him staring at me. "Take a picture Anthony."

"I like looking at you."

I chuckled. "You're such a creep yo." I pulled the cover up getting comfortable.

"Only for you."

I shook my head and went back to the show to see 50 Cent beating the hell out of some guy. I really felt bad like I knew him. Shit looked really brutal.

"Let's go out tonight." August voice took me away from the show causing me to look his way.

"I thought we were staying in bed today." He shrugged. "Fine you can take me somewhere. After this episode tho."

"You make me wait too long you gone be asking 50 Cent to be taking yo ass somewhere."

"Hell no. He just almost killed that man with his bare hands. I wouldn't let him take me to the damn gas station."

He laughed at me. "It's just a show baby."

I shrugged. "I don't care. Nobody is that good of an actor. He's crazy."
