Chapter 2

August

"Wassup bruh?"

Getting my attention, Trav and Kevin walked in.

"Wassup y'all." I gave a head nod as I continued reading.

"What you got there woe?" Kevin asked.

"The Secret!" I held up my book. "What y'all up too?"

"Not a damn thing. Just trying to kill some time before this flight."

"Oh yeah. You heading out to New York right?"

"Yeah man. I gotta see my crazy ass girl." He laughed.

"Hey, you said it." I laughed.

"What you bout to get into though? I know you're enjoying this time off."

"Man I really needed this. A nigga tired."

"Well let's go with E then bro." Travis spoke.

Looking at him as he ate a granola bar.

"What? Its been a minute since we been out there rather than when you gotta work and last I check baby girl is your goddaughter." He shrugged.

"He has a point." Kevin nodded.

"Nigga you know how much flights right now cost?" I looked at him.

"Man I got a friend at the ticket counter at the airport. She can hook y'all up."

Surprised, me and Trav looked at him.

"Male or female?" I asked.

"Female. Why?"

"Maggie know bout her?" Travis asked a bit worried.

"Nigga hell no. I ain't trying to die."

"That's what we tryna figure out." I laughed.

"Jade been my home girl for a long time. She knows about Maggie but we never looked at each other like that."

"I hope not. You know the girl you got and she will stab you then nurse your ass back to health." Travis laughed.

"Exactly. What he said."

"Shit, she did that already." He smirked.

"Man you just as crazy as her." I shook my head.

"So what you forgot bro? You down."

"Yeah why not." I shrugged and got up.

Going to my room, I got out one of my tote bags and threw a couple things in it.

"Man how long you gon be out there for?"

"For like a week." He shrugged.

Sighing, I got my carry on luggage instead and just packed shit.

"Yo E? Find out from home girl if she can get three seats, T said he down for the trip."

"Aight man."

Finishing pack, I changed and made my way downstairs. Going into the kitchen, I got a bottle of water and made my way to the front waiting on Travis to finish.

As I was about to get my phone, I heard the front door open and my name called.

"Aug?"

Sighing, I walked to the front and greeted Morgan.

"Wassup?"

"Wassup? That's it? That's all I get. Not even a hi babe, how are you?"

"Morgan please don't start." I turned and walked off.
