Justine

"Hey are you ready to go" I asked tapping August's shoulder. He looked up and me and frowned.

"Why was' wrong witcha? " he asked looking me up and down. I shook my head and pushed my hair back.

"Nothing, I just really don't wanna be bothered with anyone but you today.. we can just go home and have a lil chill day and blow a few" I said while grabbing my bag I asked him to Hold.

"Netflix and chill? " he said with a grin, I side eyed him and began laughing.

"As much fun as that sounds, I don't think I want you to be my baby daddy" I said causing him to laugh loudly while hitting me.

"Really bruh.. getcho heavy handed ass on.. let's go" I said while smiling and shaking my head.

"Aye there it is.." he said bumping me slightly, I furrowed my eyebrows and looked over at him as we walked side by side.

"There what is?" I asked. He smirked and touched my face.

"That pretty ass smile of yours" he said. I giggled and looked Down trying to hide my face with my hair.

"Whatever August you're just saying that"

he stopped walking causing me to stop to since my arm was hooked through his.

"I'm serious Jay, why you always looking down when a nigga compliment you" he asked, I shrugged and tucked my lips.

"I don't know, when I was with Devin that's what he basically trained me to do.. I was never beautiful or pretty in his eyes and I started to believe it in my own mind so-"

"Well you ain't with him, you with me and I said you beautiful as a mu'fucka so start holdin ya head high and showcasing that smile fa erry body ta see. I ain't jus' sayin that cause you my homie.. it's true baybeh, stop letting these otha niggas and females tear you down, start having some confidence in ya self, ya hea' me" he said touching my chin.
I looked up at him and nodded as I smiled and wiped the tears from my eyes.

"Thank you Aug, I needed to hear that " I said hugging him, he wrapped his arms around my waist and I laid my head on his chest and inhaled his Cologne.

"Fasho baybeh nah come on les' go home fa that muskrat come out the bathroom " I laughed and grabbed his arm pulling him towards the exit.

"Come on crazy, I need some good in my system I'm running low"

"Say Jay what was you talking about at the warehouse earlier " August said as he drink some of his peach ciroc. I looked at him, my eyes heavy from the two fat ass blunts we just smoked.

"Huh..watcha talkin bout nigga" I asked trying to avoid this conversation at all costs. He side eyed me and turned his lip up.

"Don't play with me Jay" I rolled my eyes and sat back putting my arms on my forehead. I was quiet for a few minutes before sitting back up and turned my head to the side. With one hand holding my head up and the other sitting on my knee, I took a deep breath as my heart started to race. I hated talking about this because it bought back so many memories.

"When.. um when I worked for Kelvin I was 17, I had found out I was pregnant. It was for this boy I was dating but I couldn't tell anyone because they'd kill him. The only one who knew was junie and that's because he caught me when I took the test. He said he wouldn't say anything but he held it over my head. He would make me have sex with him whenever he wanted and just a lot of other shit, he even made me do all of his dirty work.. but I couldn't do anything about it, I planned on keeping my baby and I wanted to keep her dad safe too. b-but when I got beat it was so bad that there was no chance that my baby could survive or so I thought. He helped them and he knew what would happen but he didn't care he only laughed in my face as six grown ass men including him stomped me until I was unconscious " I shook my head crying as I thought about it.

"It was a girl?" He asked as he lay my head on his shoulder and nodded as I thought about my baby girl.

"Yeah, I was 6 months...  her name's Navaeh Skye Martinez, her dad's name was Angel" I said while picturing his face as clear as day. I haven't saw him since he dropped me off at the hospital where we found out that our baby wouldn't make it.

"Angel? " he said with a frown.

"Yeah, he's a Mexican drug lord and he was one of Kelvin's biggest threats but he was the sweetest person in the world to me" I sighed. August looked at me with a frown as he pulled at his chin hairs like he was thinking about something.

"What's wrong Aug? " I asked getting worried. He snapped out of his little trance and looked at me then licked his lips.

"Nothin, just thinkin bout some'in.. uh you wanna watch somethin' nah" I nodded and stood up.

"Yeah I'm gonna go get straight outta Compton" I said walking over to the bookshelf.

"Aye Michelle calling want me to answer it fa you " I shook my head no and turned around

"Nah just let the voicemail pick up" I said grabbing the movie along with furious 7 and the perfect guy.

"She called again and text you twice" he said, I shook my head and grabbed my phone putting it on airplane mode.

"Damn she pussy whipped already Jay.. you must have really -"

"Shut the hell up stupid.. that's why I'm bout to call E and Monica so I won't have to deal with your crazy ass by myself"

"Good luck getting in touch with Monica, she been MIA for a la minute but lemme go make a phone call real quick" he said standing up. I shooed him off and put in the movie as he walked to the back.
