CEO

Cali

Karamel POV

August been avoiding me all week, I should've known better.

I gave shit up to him too easily, I thought he changed. He was acting different.

Sigh.

I was in the cafe with Sam when she turned to me annoyed, she wasn't aware me and Aug had slept together.

"Did you hear anything I just said?" She asks.

"Huh- um yea." I lie.

She gives me a look.

"Okay no, i'm sorry Sam." I sigh.

"What's wrong witchu?" She asks.

"Nothing." I shake my head.

"Really girl?" She glares at me.

"Fine. I slept with Aug." I admit.

"That's cute." She smiles.

"No like, we uh fucked." I look down at my hands.

"YESS BITCH FINALLY!" She squeals.

I only mug her.

"So what's the problem then?" She calms dowm.

"He's been ignoring me ever since, I really thought shit changed between us." I pout.

"He's a bitch." She rolls her eyes.

I couldn't help but laugh.

"Hey you said it not me." I shrug.

"Hey guys-" That thick British accent.

"Hi Christian." I smile.

He looks at me for a minute before snapping back into reality.

"Hi- wassup Samantha?" He asks.

"Don't call me that." She glares at him.

"No- not today, you guys are always bickering." I shake my head chuckling.

My phone buzzes, looking down it was August.

"Get rid of him before I do."

He's so annoying.

But the real question is...how'd he know?

Looking around I couldn't find him.

"Ima give you 10 seconds, outside, now."

"I'm gotta go." I stand.

"Did I say something?" He asks concerned.

"Oh no- Jaz needs help with something, Sam be nice." I warn.

"Aren't I always?" She smirks.

"I'll see you around Chris." I wave at him.

He offers a smile and I leave out the cafe, going outside August stood against his car.

"What?" I ask crossing my arms.

"Drop the attitude." He says.

"What do you want August?" I sigh.

"What makes you think I want something?" He smirks.

I kiss my teeth boutta walk away.

"Aight chill." He jokes grabbing my hand.

I slap his hand away.

"Bruh what do you want from me?" I snap.

He pulls me by my waist into him.

"I missed you." He bites his lip.

"We live in the same house and you've ignored me this whole week." I raise my eyebrow.

"I know shorty, my fault. I been stressed out, shit at the office." He rolls his eyes.

"That's your apology? Boy if you don't get the fuck off me." I push him.

He only holds me tighter.

"Chill. Ight I'm sorry beybeh, I just got a lot going on right now." He looks down at me.

"I'm not your "baybeh."" I mock.

"But you are." He leans down kissing my lips.

"What's wrong witchu?" I ask.

"Nun?" He gives me a confused look.

"I thought you don't do relationships." I give him a look.

"Shit you making it hard not to be." He smiles from ear to ear.

"Well try harder." I say finally getting out his hold.

"Ion even get why you mad." He says.

"We can't be together Aug, we want 2 different things." I tell him.

He nods, I could tell he was hurt- but didn't understand why.

He said he didn't want one, or me.

"I got a hold of my Grandma, y'all leave tomorrow." He says refusing to look at me.

"Aug-" He cuts me off.

"Don't pull allat "i'm sorry" shit." He says getting in his car.

"Ima see y'all later." He says driving off.

Going back in the cafe, Sam and Chris surprisingly wasn't arguing.

When 3 came around, I dreaded seeing August. But at the same time I wanted to talk to him.

I had told Sam bout the living arrangements, that i'd be at Aug Grandma house.

"Quame here." Zakira points out.

I get in the front and the kids get in the back.

"SOOO y'all probably together now- damn I ain't never seen Aug as the love kind." Quame smiles.

"What are you talking about?" I ask as he pulled off.

"He ain't- um nevermind." he dismisses the conversation.

"Nahhhh bring dat back- what about Aug and love?" I ask.

"Nothing." He waves me off.

We get home and Kira and Jaz go inside.

"Quame I NEED to know what you talm bout, cause I may have fucked up." I tell him.

"Man you ain't hear it from me, but Yung in love witchu." He says.

I give him a confused look.

"No he ain't, that nigga barely tolerates me- oh shit." I remember him at the school.

"I gotta go find him." I say.

"He ain't here, he left town to make a drop. He said he was finna drop by yuh school before he left, but I guess her never got the chance." Quame says.

"I shut him down, I didn't know." I frown.

"Where is he?" I ask.

"He flew out Cali, should be back by tomorrow." He thinks.

"I need you to watch the kids and to borrow yuh jet." I tell him.

"For what?" He mugs me.

"I have to go get Aug before he gets hurt." I tell him.

"Shorty he do this- you love him too?" He says.

Looking out the window at his house- that he had opened to me and Jaz I thought about it.

"I don't know- but I know I don't want him hurt." I look back at him.

He nods.

He drives me to an airport after making a call, and when I got there the jet was ready.

"Thank you Quame." I smile hugging him.

"I haven't seen him happy like this, since he met you." He smiles.

Going on the jet I take a seat.

Next Stop...California.
