Ambition {An August Alsina Story}

J

Melanie's POV

"I don't want to leave," I sigh and look at the clock.

"Then don't,"

"I should go, I have to go get the kids. Justin I-," he sighs and walks away from me.

"What?"

"Why is he still in the picture?"

"August he was supposed to leave today but-,"

"But? Mel all you have to do is tell him you moved on," he grabs my hands.

"Okay," August slides something on my ring finger.

"What is-," I look down at the ring. "You kept my promise ring?"

"Yeah," he smiles at me.

"Why?" That sounded rude. "I mean why keep it?"

"I knew you would come back," I look up at him.

"Hmm," I smile at the ring. "I should go,"

"I'll call you later,"

"Alright," I kiss him goodbye and leave.

"Long brunch babe,"

"Breakfast and lunch," I set my purse down.

"You were gone for damn near 4 hours,"

"I know, I know. We went out after we ate,"

"Who is we?"

"Just a friend," I smirk and walk to my room. I look in the mirror. "Slut," I tell myself. I can still feel August's kisses on my body.

"Let's go out tonight," Justin stands behind me and wraps his arms around me.

"Tonight?"

"Yeah, just the two of us. Hasn't been much us time,"

"I know," he runs his hands up and down my leg.

"J what are you going to do while you are away? I mean how are we going to keep a relationship?"

"Letters, lots of letters. What do you not think we will make a long distance relationship for 3 months?" I turn around and look at him. Can't even look him in the eye.

"Letters are going to keep us together? Will we really make it?" He looks at me confused.

"Yes we will, because you love me and I love you. If you truly love me then we will work. You do love me right?" He holds my hands.

"I really like you,"

"But not love right," he nods and backs away from me.

"Once we got in whatever the fuck we have-,"

"Whatever the fuck we have? Melanie we are in a relationship!"

"Well maybe it doesn't seem like it,"

"Then what will make it seem like a relationship? Tell me because obviously I am doing something wrong!,"

"I didn't say you were doing something wrong! I'm just saying that something doesn't feel right,"

"You went to brunch with August didn't you?"

"What?"

"Did you guys do anything?"

"Justin where the fuck is this coming from?!,"

"Answer the question Melanie!"

"Fine! August and I went to brunch! Is that what you want?"
