"Baybeh I gotta go" I chuckled, Charisma was holding on to me for dear life.

"I don't want you to" She poked her lip out.

"I have to take care of a few things, and then I'll be back" I said, she still had her arms wrapped around me, so I just kept trying to walk while she was holding on.

She busted out laughing, causing me to do the same.

"Promise you'll be right back" She asked, looking up at me.

"Promise" I picked her lips. She gave me a small smile, and finally let go.

"I love you" She mumbled.

"I luh' you too baybeh" I kissed her cheek and grabbed my keys.

I walked out the door and was greeted by Kai, and Tiana.

"Y'all don't tear up ma' house" I said.

"Nigga shut up" Tiana laughed.

"Foreal, and Kai, I know Chris potty trained you, so don't leave no mess anywhea'." I patted her head, and quickly moved when she tried to hit me.

"You bitch" She chuckled.

They went in the house and I walked out to the garage and hopped in my Range.

Bopping my head to the music, I pulled into the parking lot and killed the engine.

I checked my phone.

I opened the messages from Charisma first.

[Chris💉: a million hours later. - 1:15 pm ]

[ Aye chill yo impatient ass out, I'm here -1:17 pm ]

I got out the car, and locked the doors before walking up to the small building.

I stepped inside and walked towards the back, where Chris was sitting.

"Wazzam" I dapped him up.

"Wassup"

"When y'all plan on coming back to the states?" Chris asked.

"It's up in da' air right now, I just don't need no more complications from Kayla and all of dem."

"I feel you" He nodded "But where that nigga Kendrick at? I told him to meet us hea'."

"Ion know, he been acting really sus." I shrugged.

"You noticed that shit too?" Chris wondered.

"Yeah, especially at 'Risma's party. He was all quiet and you know dat nigga talk a lot" I said.

"You right" Chris said, we looked up and saw Kendrick comin' in through the door.

"Wassup y'all" He asked, stuffing his hands into his pockets.

"Wassup witchu?" I asked.

"Nothing. Just been chillin" He shrugged and plopped down in one of the chairs.

"You aight? Been awfully quiet my nigga" Chris asked.

"Yeah" He nodded.

"Mhm" Chris mumbled low enough for Kendrick not to hear.

"Have y'all got any information on where Kayla is and what she got goin' on?" I asked.

"She not in Texas no more, so that's all I know" Kendrick shrugged.

"I thought she still was though" Chris said.

"Nah from what I know she's not, her house seems deserted and I checked into the system and it said she's gone" Kendrick said.

"Mm" I nodded. Chris gave me a look and I knew it meant he knew something was off.

After we talked a bit more, I decided to head on back to the house after stopping and getting Charisma some skittles.

"Ahh thank you!" She said, grabbing the bag from my hand.

"Ouu you got sour" She said, dancing a little.

"You always happy about something to eat" I laughed.

"You already know" She laughed.

I went and sat on the couch, and leaned back.

"Auggie" Charisma called out. I already know she was finna ask for something. Her voice always gets a slight pitch higher and she fidgets with something.

"Yeah" I said, with my eyes still closed.

She straddled me and I opened my eyes.

"Whatcha want baybeh" I chuckled.

"I wanna get a tattoo" She said, playing with her fingers.

"Oh really?"

"Yeah" She motioned toward her forearm.

"Whatchu tryna get?" I asked.

"I don't know yet, I've been looking at ideas" She said.

"Well let me know and I'll see if I can find any tattoo artist around hea'."

"Yess" She smiled at me.

I couldn't help but return it. Her smile was so contagious.

"So what you and yo friends get into?" I asked.

"Nothing, we just chilled and watched a couple of movies." She shrugged.

"Kai ain't cry during any of them?"

"You know she did, the sad thing was, it was a kid movie" She chuckled.

We just chilled and talked, eventually falling asleep on the couch.

I opened my eyes, and closed them instantly, from the bright light panning through the window.

I slowly sat up, but stopped, when I felt August's arms around me.

I turned and looked at his face. His eyebrows where scrunched and his lips were in a poke. I promise he always looks mad when he sleeps.

I had to pee, so I tried to move his arm, but his grip tightened.

I let out a small sigh.

"I have to pee" I slightly nudged him.

He stirred a little, but didn't let go.

"August! Imma pee on this couch" I slightly raised my voice.

He loosened his grip and I got up and went to handle my business.

I washed my hands, and started brushing my teeth, before August brushed past me and lifted the toilet lid.

It didn't really phase me that much, so I confused brushing my teeth, and he was standing right next to me. I looked at him, and he looked at me.

"Why you standing there looking ugly" I said, after spitting.

He just glanced at me, and slightly moved me out the way.

He doesn't talk in the morning unless he brushed his teeth, which I don't blame him, cause I don't like it either.

We both finished up our hygiene, August went to go get breakfast while I decided to take a shower.

—

"Bitch don't go in the house!" August yelled at the T.V. We were watching a scary movie, and a scene where you know the killer finna be in the house, and they always wanna go in the house with them was on.

"Aye it's not that serious" I chuckled.

"No, these white girls be dumb"

I just shook my head and continued watching the movie.

"That's why her dumbass died, stupid bitches always tryna explore shit they know ain't suppose to be explored" August mumbled.
