Poison

Chapter 39

3 September 2014

August(Yungin) POV:

My elbows were on the table and my head in my palms. I was listening to my mama lecture me. Like every year on my birthday we come to my mama's house in the afternoon and she cooks. I call my friends and immediate family. My mama's kids and their girls and kids. Some are still eating, but most of us are done.

"Mama, she's a nice kid. You should actually get to know her. If she can put up with Aug's bull- nonsense, than she's worth meeting" Red said. My mama sucked her teeth.

"We'll I don't care. She looks like a gold digger to me-"

"Can you just stop? Really. You don't like her, you've made that clear. You not going to meet her don't worry" I cut her off. She's starting to irritate the fuck out'ta me. "Where's Liyah, we need to go?"

She frowns. "Already? Where are you rushing off to? Liyah is still enjoying herself" I look to the side and roll my eyes at what she just said.

"He want to leave because you busy bad mouthing Rita. They not on good terms" Chris smirk. I sigh ready to get out of here. My phone beeps and I pull it out of my pocket. I view the message and its from Rita. I smirk. We haven't talked today the whole day, well since the last time we spoke.

RiRi🌹:Hey August. Happy womb escape day. Hope you are enjoying your day and I'm sorry for telling you so late. I know you probably busy, so you can get your gift tomorrow. Rita

I smirk. I'm definitely not getting it tomorrow. What should I do? Should I leave now na do ass by her house before going with Aaliyah to bounce? I bit my lip contemplating.

Me:Thank you. Are you home?

I put down my phone when I hear my mama calling me. I look up at her. "Yes mama?"

"I asked why are you and that girl on bad terms?"

I clear my throat. "It doesn't matter. Ain't like you care. You probably happy we not on good terms"

She shrugs. "I'm not going to lie and say I'm not. What she do?"

Everyone coughed, well my friends. "More like what did he do?" Rizzy hinted. I glared at him as they all chuckled. I sigh and push my chair back.

"Man, I'm leaving. Yoh Liyah!"

"Boy sit down, I'm talking to you"

My phone beeps again and I pick it up, unlocking it.

Rita🌹:Yes I am. Why? I'm not going to the club with you

I chuckle. Of course she ain't. "Who you talking to?" Chris queries, trying to see who I'm texting. I pop his forehead. "None of your business, that's who. Aaliyah!"

"COMING DADDY!!"

"I did all this for you and you leaving? Are you leaving because of that person on your phone? You better not take my granddaughter with you so you can go get a quick nut" mama says with attitude.

"Could you please come down? I promise I'll come tomorrow and I'm going to BOUNCE CITY mama"

Liyah comes running down the stairs, her two ponytails bouncing up and down. A nigga's getting good at this. My baby look fine. She hugs everyone and I pick her up. I kiss my mama's cheeks.

"Love you mama. I'll see yall tonight. Yoh Rizzy, you mind riding with one of this niggas? I'll find you at the house?"

"You going to be in a public space" He says. I nod. "Yeah, I'll be safe. Don't worry man, relax. It's my birthday, so you gone relax"

"Cool. Be safe and call me when you get there and when you leave"

I nod and walk out the door. While in the car I ask Aaliyah something.

"You miss Rita?"

"Yes. Where is she? I don't see her anymore"

"You mind seeing her right now? We'll go to bounce right after"

"YES! YES! YES!"

I chuckle and shake my head. She really loves Rita. They have an unbreakable bond. When we arrive at her house we get out and I knock. She opens the door and Liyah is already in her arms and they are hugging. I walk in and close the door.

"I missed you, I missed you, I missed you, I missed you, I missed you, I missed you, I missed you, I missed you, I missed you, I missed you. I MISSED YOU!" Rita said kissing all over her face. Aaliyah was giggling and squirming in her hands. Rita laughed and put her down. She looked at me.

"Thank you for bringing her. I missed her. She's so tall now"

"Yeah. So how have you been?" I ask her as we make out way to the living room. "I've been good. Happy birthday"

I smirk when she hands me my gift. Jewelry. I open it and it's three chains with a cross on each. A black one, gold one and silver one. The gold one had a verse from the Bible in graved on it, Psalm23:1-6 and the silver one had some weird shit in graved on it too. I don't know what that means.

"1. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2.He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3.He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4.Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5.Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6.Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever." I look up at her to find her smiling. I smirk. "Thank you. I love it."

She giggles. "You know I thought- I'm glad you like your gift. I thought you didn't believe in God. You know you don't got to church and you never really talk about God or Jesus or even heaven."

"I used to go to church every Sunday when I was young. I was in the choir. I know God exists and I believe in him. I just don't see the need to talk about him when I'm never gone meet him or see heaven."

She frowns. "Why do you say that? Of course you going to go to heaven"

I chuckle darkly. "Right. C'mon Rita. Why are you acting oblivious to the shit I do on a daily basis?" She opens her mouth to say something, but I quickly change the subject. "What does this one mean?"

Her eyes widen and she clears her throat, trying to fix her face. "Um ah- it ah means um- it means-"

"Another verse?" I guess. She grins and nods. "Yes! Another verse. Ugh! You so clever. I forgot the verse though" She bites her lip looking up at me. I wonder what she's thinking? She's sexy as fuck when she bites her bottom, full, soft plum lip.

"You ok?" She queries. I quickly nod.

Yes, I'm ok"
