Ambition {An August Alsina Story}

This is Different.

"I was going to say the same thing babe" she groans and walks away.

"Aww come on Rita!" Adrian yells and goes after her. "Mommy!"

"Mom is here?!" India gets out of the water and runs inside.

"Don't fall India " Rita says.

"I missed you" I hear Melanie as I walk inside the house.

"I missed you too mom" she stands there wearing her gray sundress. Justin behind her, talking to Adrian.

"I'm sorry if I interrupted, it's just that I was going to go pick up Har-"

"She's getting out?" I smile.

"Yeah she is, d-" she stops as she sees Rita.

"Mel"

"Hi, I'm sorry to interrupt a-"

"You are forgiven," Rita smirks. "Kids food is done,"

"Okay thank you Rita" India smiles.

"August do you mind if I take the kids real quick to go see their aunt?"

"No not at all, India and Adrian go get your clothes and dry off," they walk to their rooms.

"Yeah we are throwing a party of Har today, you guys should come by. I know Harmony would love to see you" she smiles, she seems more peppy and happy. Happy? Melanie happy? I haven't seen her like this in over 2 years.

"Yeah we would what time?"

"Um baby did you forget we had to go to the studio?"

" we can go after, I really need to see Harmony baby. We will go" I tell Rita.

"Okay,"

"What time again Justin?" She asks him, looking up at him.

"Your mom said around 2," she smiles at him.

"Yeah 2 would be fine" Rita smiles.

"Oh Mel-"

"Ready" The kids stand in between us.

"Okay come on," Melanie smiles again. "You can just pick them up after the party,"

"Yeah okay that sounds fine, see you then,"

"Alright bye nice seeing you guys" Justin smiles and they walk away. He places his hand on her lower back and they walk away together.

"He's with her" I say to Rita.

"Good for her" Rita walks away and to the kitchen.

"Justin is dating Mel,"

"Maybe you can finally move on" I look at Rita.

"I have,"

"That's good babe" Rita snacks on chips.

"She is happy, a different kind of happy" she sighs.

"Yeah she is," I sit down. "Now can we be happy," she stands in between my legs.

"I'm happy are you?"

"Yeah," she wraps her arms around me.

Melanie's POV

"Mom I missed Auntie Har so much," India smiles.

"I missed her too,"

"Does that mean Logan and Ariel are going to be gone forever?" Adrian asks.

"No, harmony is going to be living with us for a while, maybe"

"I miss the twins," India sighs. I pull into the parking lot and park the car.
