•Day of Angel's Bday Party•
~Bethany~
I was talking to Niecy when Nathan walked up and grabbed my hand.
"Excuse me Niecy, but I'd like to steal her for a few minutes." He turned to me with a smile. "Babe, come dance with me."
"Of course you can steal her. Bye Bethany." Niecy smirked and gaved me a slight shove towards Nathan.
I laughed as Nate lead me to the center of the dance floor.
"Where's Angel?" He asked, wrapping his arms around my waist. "I haven't seen her since we cut her birthday cakes."
"In the kiddie room playing with her cousins. I think she's enjoying the party cause she hasn't stopped smiling." I locked my hands behind his neck as we swayed to Chris Brown's song Liquor.
"What about you? Are you enjoying yourself at this here party?" He tilted his head to the side with a smile on his lips.
"Yes, because I'm here with you." I leaned up on my tip toes and he dipped his head to meet me in a kiss.
Suddenly, a piano sounded from a speaker that appeared right beside us.
I broke the kiss and looked around in confusion.
"That's really loud!" I shouted over the music.
"Huh? I can't hear you," Nate shouted, leaning down."The music is really loud!"
I rolled my eyes.
"I know! I just said-
The room went pitch black but the music continued to play.
"What the hell? Who turned the lights off?" I yelled.
A spotlight lit up a corner of the room.
A man in an all white suit steps into the beam of light.
My breath caught in my throat.
"August." I whispered.
I looked up at Nathan in a panic but he's stared at August nonchalantly.
August took a step and the spotlight followed.
Another step.
The spotlight stayed on him.
He continued walking towards us as the music reached the chorus:
August now stands in front of me with a smile on his still handsome face.
"You're still so beautiful." He said. "I missed you baybeh."
I just stared at him with my mouth open.
"How did you....why...why are y-you here?" I stuttered.
"I came back for you." He reached hand towards me. "Dance with me?"
My mouth opened and closed but no sound comes out.
This wasn't real.
It couldn't be
It has to be a dream.
I looked to Nathan for help to see he's disappeared.
I snapped my head back to August.
"Where is Nate? Where is he?" My voice cracked.
This couldn't be real!
"Now that I'm back, you don't need that nigga no'mo'. He was just a place-holder fa me." August said, his hand still outstretched to me. "Come be with me where you belong, where you really wanna be."
