Forever and Always

8.

August

I pulled into my driveway and I saw an all black Jaguar parked near my house. I step out of the car and so did the guy who I'm guessing owned the Jaguar. When he stepped all the way out, I noticed that it was the same old nigga fucking Christina.

"Um dad what are you doing here?" India asked. I looked at her shocked, not knowing that this was her father.

"I should be asking you the same thing. I haven't seen you in what a week or two?" He asked. She rolled her eyes and shifted all her weight to her left leg while mumbling something underneath her breath.

"Enough about that. August I need to speak to you its important. Can you step to the side please?" He asked, turning his attention to me.

"Sure man." I mutter out. I handed Autumn over to India and directed for her to go into the house. Rolling her eyes, she walked away and did as told.

"Straight to the point." I stated. He looked at me confused.

"Straight to the point?" He asked. I rolled my eyes, not understanding what was so confusing about what I just said.

"Just tell me what you want so I can go inside. I need to take care of my daughter." I replied.

"In fact, that's what I wanted to talk to you about. Chrissy recently told you that Autumn is your daughter, correct?" He asked me. I nodded my head in response and gestured for him to continue. "Well, she lied. It's actually your brother's daughter. Chrissy was suppose to babysit Autumn but never brought her back to his baby mother. Don't worry I'm getting everything taken care of now." He informed me.

I looked at him and shook my head. This is crazy. "Aight man, so what you here for, you gon' take her?" I asked. He nodded his head.

"Yeah I'm taking her back to your brother now. Do you want to speak to him?" He questioned.

"Uh yeah. Let me speak to him." I agreed. It's been a minute since I spoke to him and I'd be lying if I said that I didn't miss him.

"Okay I'll arrange for you two to talk when I pick up Autumn. Just have her stuff ready." Not giving me a chance to respond, he walked away and headed over to his Jaguar. I shook my head and headed back towards the house. When I see Christina, I'm going to kill her.

India

August finally walked in after what seem like forever. "What happened what did he want?" I asked curiously. He let out a long sigh and rubbed his hand down his face.

"I think you might wanna sit down fo' dis." He spoke, his New Orleans accent getting stronger. I walked over to the white couch and sat down.

"Okay what happened?" I asked again. I know that when people usually talk to my father unexpected it's never good.

"Turns out Autumn isn't mine. She's not Christina's neither." I looked at him confused. That didn't sound right, Autumn was a spitting image of him.

"So, Christina just kidnapping random kids that look like you? This shit don't make sense. I'm confused." I responded causing him to shake his head.

"Nah she fucking kidnapped my brudda's, Mel, daughter. This bitch is fucking crazy I always choose the crazy ones." He sighed deeply. I rose both eyebrows together but shrugged it off.

"So what are you gonna do?" I asked. He looked at me and shrug his shoulders.

"Your fadda is picking her up tomorrow and arranging a meeting with my Brudda and I. How the fuck am I gon' explain dis shit ta Autumn?" He stressed. I shrugged my shoulders not knowing. I was still trying to process this myself.
