Ming grabbed Keith's arm and slit his shirt open. Keith exhaled a breath he didn't know he was holding.

"I'm not gonna kill you." Ming said standing up going over to the cabinet grabbing a first aid kit getting a roll of bandage and alcohol. Along with a needle and thread. She went back over to Keith. "It's not a deep stab and I'm sorry." She said taking care of his arm.

"I'm sorry for taking advantage of you like Ming. I really do like you, but when you said you loved me and what you did so I wouldn't move away really caught me off guard. We wasn't suppose to fall in love." Keith said.

"You loved me?" Ming said.

"Ahh shit. Somewhat you are a beautiful girl and don't let nobody tell you otherwise. Yeah I was jealous of that boy or whatever but we really do need to stop what we doing with each other and go our separate ways." Keith said.

Ming finished taking care of his arm before cleaning up the blood on the floor and putting away the first aid things.

Keith slowly stood up looking at his arm.

"I know you think I'm crazy." Ming said.

Keith chuckled. "No you are a little crazy." He said. "Come here." He said before giving Ming a hug. "I'm truly sorry for taking advantage of you."

"I forgive you." Ming said.

"Thank you." Keith said.

"You welcome."

"Oooh August." Alijah moaned

August slowly eased in and out of Alijah fucking her slowly.

"Damn August keep going just like that baby."

"Just like dat baybeh?" August whispered in her ear.

Perisan Rugs × Jacquees played in the background. "You feel me baybeh?" August said. "Huh? Answer me Lijah."

"Yes baby I do." Alijah moaned. "Fuck."

There was a knock at August's bedroom door.

"Gimme a minute." August said.

"Uncle August what you doin'?"

"Oh shit." August cursed pushing Alijah to the side. August slipped on his sweatpants quickly. Alijah got up rushing to the bathroom. "Gimme me a minute."

August slipped on his shirt and unlocked his bedroom door to his niece Kayden.

"Kay Kay what you doin' here?" August said picking her up.

"Mommy and Grandma came to visit you along with Uncle Travis and Callie they downstairs Merry Christma uncle Aug." Kay said excitedly.

"Merry Christmas baybeh girl, but can you go back downstairs and tell them to give me a minute so I can get dressed?" August said putting his niece back down.

"Okay." Kay Kay skipped off down the hall.

August closed his door and locked it back.

Alijah came out the bathroom. "Who was that?"

"My niece Kayden. My family here." August said.

Alijah's eyes widen, "Oh my god."

"Yeah so get dressed." August said going in the bathroom so he could take a shower.

Alijah went behind him. "Can I join?" She smirked.

August licked his lips staring at her naked body. "Get in baybeh." He slapped her ass as she got in and he got in behind her.

August walked downstairs to see his family along sitting in the family room.

"August!" Mama Shelia yelled and ran to hug her son who she haven't seen in almost 3 years.

"Hey mama." August said hugging her back.

They both pulled away from each other. "What took you so long to come down here?"

Travis chuckled. "I think I kno'. Who dat Yung?" He said pointing to Alijah who was coming downstairs.

"Is that your girlfriend uncle Aug?" Amaiya said.

Alijah stopped on the last part of the stairs looking at the family.

"Y'all this is Alijah my girlfriend. Alijah this is my mama Shelia, my brotha' Travis, my sis-in-law Chandra, and my nieces Callie, Kayden, Amaiya, and Chaylen." August said.

"Hi." Alijah said.

"Hey." They all said back in sync.

"You are so pretty." Mama Shelia said.

"She really is." Cha said.

"How long y'all been togetha'?" Travis asked.

"Two months." Alijah answered before August.

His family was welcoming and she enjoyed them alot.

"She look like a good girl Aug. You rearranging 'dem guts?" Travis said laughing.

"If you meant to say we having sex then yea'." August said watching Alijah play Monopoly with the girls.

"Why she ain't with her family Aug?" Cha asked him.

"Her family don't do things till night time around 7 so she decided to stay with me last night."

"Mmm mmm mmm." Cha said walking away joining them.

August shook his head laughing at Cha.

"How old is she man?" Travis asked.

"She'll be 18 in March along wit' ha' twin brother Jay." He said.

"Mmm okay." Travis said nodding his head.

The girls had some gifts to give August so they let him opened those, then they just laid back and started watching Christmas specials on t.v.

"Uncle Aug I love Frosty the Snowman but I cry at the end." Kay said.

"Me too." August said laughing.

Alijah looked at the time and it was getting close to seven.

"Hey August are you ready to go?" Alijah said. "I'm sorry but it's almost 7."

"A'ight baybeh. How long y'all plannin' to be hea'?" August asked his mother.

"Oh we just came up for today August, but we spent enough time with you go ahead." Mama Shelia said.

"Okay Mama I love y'all." August said grabbing his keys and leaving the house.

August pulled into Alijah's driveway parking the car and turning it off.

"Lijah?"

"Wassup?" Alijah said turning around looking at August.

"I can't stay all night."

"What you mean?"

"I got sum' business to handle." August said.

"Whatever August." Alijah said getting out the car and going in the house.

August shook his head placing his hat on his head and got out following Alijah inside. He walked in the living room to see Jay, Vonte, Darion, Laila, Di'anna, and Ming.

"Why y'all ain't wit' y'all family?" August said before sitting beside Alijah on the couch.

"We've been doing this with Lijah ever since we were 10." Ming said. "Ion know what dumb and dumber doing here."

"Baybeh where your parents?" August asked.

"Probably somewhere in the den with my other family they'll be up soon so we can eat."

"Laila I got you some gifts." Ming said handing Laila some bags.

Laila pulled out the first present and it was a some baby onesies and a baby gucci outfit.

"Oooooo this is so cute." Laila said.

Alijah and August started fussing out of the blue.

"Man it's Christmas I ain't tryin' to hea' allat." August said before standing up and leaving out of the room.

Alijah had all eyes on her. She got up went upstairs. She was embarrassed by what August did.

"What in hell?" Ming said. "Is wrong in paradise?"

Laila, Ming, and Di'anna got up to go check on Alijah. While Jay, Vonte, and Darion went to go see where August went.

"Yung did you get the bags from Lord?" Warren said while he loaded the gun with bullets.

"Yeah." August said.

"What's wrong with this nigga?"

Darion popped his head through from the trunk since he was counting money. "Him and his girl got in a argument."

"Man y'all too young for that shit." Warren said.

"All he gotta do is sex her up real good." Darion said.

"Man shut..the...fuck..up!" August yelled. "Let's just make dis damn drop or whatever da' fuck we suppose to be doin' and leave hell it's still fuckin' Christmas."

They all looked at him like he was crazy.

"Darion you done counting the money?" Vonte asked.

"Yeah. Aye Yung you know when you mad your accent thick as fuck?"

August turned getting ready to choke the hell out of Darion. "Ya' testin' me right na'." August said facing the front again.

"Aye man it's 11 go to the spot." Warren said.

Vonte started the car and drove off.

Fifteen minutes later they pulled up to the dark ass alley.

"You sure this the right place?" Vonte asked.

"Dis da' place. Lord gave me da' address." August said getting in trunk so he could help Darion with the bags. Vonte and Warren got the guns together.

"A'ight leggo." Warren said.

They all got out and walked through the alley until they seen some niggas with black hoodies on like them.

"Where y'all niggas from?" Some nigga said.

"Lord sent us. Who y'all niggas?" Vonte said.

"We suppose to be coming to get some money 100k for King."

"Oh y'all from 12th." Darion said laughing. "Weak ass niggas." He felt a cold piece against his head.

"What you say about 12th?"

"Aye man ya' ain't have to pull out the gun." August said.

"He disrespected us."

"He just joking put the gun-

Blaow!

Warren looked at the dude as he slowly fell to the ground.

"Nigga nobody said shoot somebody trigger happy ass!" Vonte said.

Next thing you know bullets started flying.

"Shit!" August said taking off towards the car.

"Warren get the stuff!" Vonte yelled as he was fighting some dude along with Darion.

August got in the car starting it up. He got back out with his gun and started shooting at the nigga that had the bag of drugs.

"Fuck!" Warren said holding the side of his indicating he got shot.

August rushed and got to Warren. "Ya' good?"

"Yeah get the stuff." He said laying on the ground.

Vonte shot the boy with the bag and he landed on the ground. August went and got the bag.

"Y'all get Warren imma pull around the corner." August said rushing back to the truck.

He did what he said and met them around the corner they all got in. "Is he good?" August asked as they put Warren in the back seat.

"Yeah Q can handle this no need for a hospital." Warren said referring to his girlfriend Q.

"A'ight I'll tell her to meet us at Lord."

"Aye can a nigga stop by American Deli first a nigga hungry that shit was a workout." Darion said.

"Is dis' lah nigga serious?" August said.

"Shit it was a workout." Vonte said.

August shook his head making a detour towards Lord's house going down the street to some wing place. It wasn't American Deli but it was a wing place.

"Ahhhh fuck Q!" Warren yelled as his girlfriend Q stuck her fingers in his thigh trying to get the bullet out.

"Shutup pussy ass nigga!" Q said.

"They stupid." Vonte said before taking a sip of his drink.

August stood over the scale weighing the marijuana.

"Did we kill all of those niggas?"Darion said.

"One that look like he 12 years old took off running that's all I know." Vonte said.

"Aye we good." August said. "It's the right amount."

"Good at least y'all didn't drop the money like last time." Lord said watching August pack back up the weed.

"What about the coke?" Darion asked.

August ignored they conversation and looked at his phone seeing if he had a text or missed call from Alijah but he didn't.

"Yung did ya' girl like the gift?" Lord asked him.

"Yeah she loved it." He said before sitting down so he could eat his food.

"Good. Y'all got into it?"

"Yep." Vonte said answering for August.

"She'll be ight." Lord said.

Q came rushing in the kitchen. "Lord you got some bandage?"

"Yeah under the counter right here. Why?"

"He bleeding out I can stop it though." Q said.

"Ight." Lord said.

"How she kno' how to do allat?" August asked.

"She use to be an ER nurse before Warren made her quit and work for us." Lord said.

"How old is Warren?" Vonte asked.

"Yea how old is he?" Darion said.

"37." Q said before leaving the kitchen.

"What? That nigga ain't 37 he don't look 37 he at least 27 or 25." Vonte said.

August's phone suddenly went off but it wasn't a text it was one from Delilah.

August slammed his phone down. He slammed it down so hard he cracked the screen.

"This nigga got problems." Darion said.

Delilah cried over and over again. She kept hearing a baby crying over and over again. It's like it wouldn't leave her head. She sat in her bedroom by herself.

She thought August would at least try to reason with her and talk to her. She knew she was crazy all she wanted was somebody to talk to.

"Leave me the fuck alone!" Delilah yelled.

The crying baby kept surrounding her and she screamed. "Help!" But nobody heard her.

"I'm done." Delilah said.

Delilah's mother was about to walk in her room but the door was locked.

"Baby girl open the door. Baby open the door."

"Nooooo!" Delilah open the door baby no baby please! God no!" Her mother stepped back then kicked the door opened to see her daughter slumped over bleeding to death. "No no baby we can get you some help."

Her mother's boyfriend was already on the phone with 911. Delilah was still breathing but it was faint.

"No no baby we can get you some help just stay with mama listen to mama's voice please."
