*A month later - August*
*Los Angeles*
August POV:
Me: "You playin' with me right na?"
Mariah: "No. I'm bein' so serious..."
Me: "Renee..."
Mariah: "Anthony..."
Then Michael walks back in.
Michael: "Y'all talking in code? Tha hell y'all whispering for?"
Me: "Nigga. Ain't nobody whispering..."
We came ta LA ta see Mike. And I'm STILL watching my surveillance video. Plus, MeMe wanted ta visit and she has some business ta handle.
Michael: "Y'all were just whispering. I know I ain't tripping..."
Me: "It's called inside voices. Find yours..."
Michael: "Nigga! YOU don't even have an inside voice. Tha fuck?"
I side eye him and MeMe stands up.
Mariah: "Um. I'll be back..."
I nod and she walks off. Mike takes ha seat then looks at tha screen.
Michael: "What are you looking for, bruh?"
Me: "Just something. A hint of something..."
Michael: "And you think looking on my screen gon' help you?"
Me: "Aye. It's worth a shot..."
Mariah comes back and grabs tha car keys.
Mariah: "I'm about ta go. Umm. I'll see you when I get back..."
She kisses my cheek and I look at ha.
Me: "We'll talk later..."
She nods and I kiss ha forehead.
Me: "I love you"
Mariah: "I love you, too babe."
She leaves and I look at tha screen. And continue what I'm doing. After thirty minutes of watching and Mike never shutting up...he throws me off with tha most off tha wall question.
Michael: "Is MeMe pregnant?"
Me: "Noooo. She not. Why you ask that?"
Michael: "Her face a little chubby. Plus...if she is...LA...is tha last place she needs to be. I'm shocked she came back. She didn't even come with you to get y'all stuff from storage. So...again...if she IS....keep her in Atlanta. You know I love to blow shit up..."
I chuckle
Me: "Trust me. I know..."
Michael: "So again...is Mariah pregnant?"
Me: "Nah. She's not pregnant. It's just a little weight gain. And I love tha weight she's put on. That's it. That's all.."
Michael: "You didn't even look at me dude."
Me: "First of all...I'm busy. Second of all...I'm not lookin' no nigga in tha eye..."
Michael: "Okay. I'll let that slide. But, I just had to ask..."
Me: "Plus...she's nervous as fuck being out hea'. And unless...she has ta come....she will not come. This ha first time back since February. She's happier in Atlanta. She feels safe..."
Michael: "Well, y'all are my family. So, you can call...if y'all need anything. Even if it's poppin' a couple niggas in their heads..."
Me: "Bruh..."
