The Harter Brother Series: August

Chapter 3

As I waited for his response I checked my message from Hailey.

Hailey: Hey, I need some advice. When you get the chance call me.

Sensing the urgency, I dialed her number and waited for her to pick up it rang twice before it connected to me to her.

"Samara?" She asked sniffling

"Yeah, it's me. Girl are you okay?"

"No. The man I am in love with doesn't want me anymore."

"Aw Hailey, I'm so sorry," I said half-heartedly. I did feel bad that the man she loved didn't feel the same but this girl was always crying over some man.

"I think he was the one for me this time Samara, I really do."

"Mhm, I bet he was. So was this Hank or Owen?"

"Neither one. This was a new guy that I had been messing around with for at least a month and then he cut me off. With no explanation. How could he do that to me after all the time I put in," she whined and I couldn't help but laugh. She was in love with this man after one month and Adam and I had been dating for ten months and I hadn't even mentioned being in love with him once. Not even by accident. August's footsteps could be heard coming down the stairs and I took it as my escape.

"Hailey girl, yeah I have to go, I'm babysitting a friend's kid and I have to talk to the parent."

"Alright. Call me later though, okay?"

"Mhm," I said before hanging up just as August came down the stairs looking his usual sexy self. Get a grip of yourself girl! I reminded myself but I wasn't lying. August had on a black suit and J's on his feet and I shook my head. Only him.

"So you wanted to talk about sum'thing?"

"Oh yeah. If I'm going to be babysitting Nedra we need to set some ground rules." August raised an eyebrow in my direction, his eyes filled with amusement but let me continue. "Well first, you can't be flirting with me while I'm working. It's unprofessional."

"Alright, what else?"

"What are my boundaries with Nedra? Where can I take her and who can come in your home?"

"Nedra can go with you anywhere ya seem fit cause I know you ain't finna be reckless with my baybeh and I'll leave a list of people who can enter ma' house but most likely Nedra's lil ass will tell you."

"Alright. Does she have any allergies?"

"Nope. Anything else?"

"What time will you be home?"

"If things go well I will be home by about seven but if I ain't home by then you can go ahead and feed her something ta' eat."

"Do you have any allergies?"

"Nope. Why, you tryna cook for a nigga?"

"No August." He smirked in response before standing up and turning his attention to the stairs that lead upstairs.

"Nedra! Come down hea' I'm leavin'."

"Hold on!"

"Bye baybeh," the sound of her feet pounding against the floor could be heard throughout the entire house before Nedra's tiny frame came into view. She raced down the stairs only giving August a few seconds to get himself ready before she launched herself at him. August could only chuckle as she held her death grip around him giving him a disapproving stare.

"Daddy, that wasn't very nice."

"Neither is you trying to make me late." She shrugged not bothering to fight back before he placed her onto the ground causing her to finally notice me.

"Hey you look familar. Were you one of my daddies girlfriends?"

"He wishes," I mumbled low enough for him to hear and when he raised an eyebrow in my direction I focused on Nedra. "I'm your aunty Nikki's best friend"

"Oh yeah! Aunty Nikki talks about you all the time and you were on that show with Zendaya.. Um... What's it called..."

"Just a game?" I filled in and her eyes lit up.

"Yeah that's it. I'm such a fan, can I get an autograph?"

"Baybeh, relax. Ms. Samara is gonna be watchin' you today and I expect you to behave."

"Don't I always daddy?" She says with a smile and I couldn't help but shake my head. August wasn't lying when he said she was something else.

"I'm serious Nedra. Behave yourself." She nodded before August looked up to meet my eyes.

"Thanks again. On my lunch break i'll contact the agency and get someone in for tomorrow."

"Like I said it's no stress and you should probably go before your late." I tole him and he nodded before heading to the door with me following behind him. He grabbed his cell phone from the counter and slid it into his back pocket before he spoke to Nedra again.

"Love you baybeh."

"Love you too daddy." August motioned for me to follow him outside and I took a quick peak at Nedra, who had decided to watch TV, before stepping outside, leaving the door slightly open so I could keep an eye on her.

"August, what's up?"

"A nigga goin' to work and you ain't gon give me my hug?"

"No."

"Well too god damn bad," he said with a chuckle before his arms wrapped around my waist into a nice embrace. Unable to help myself, I wrapped my arms around him and enjoyed the feel of his body pressed up against mine. I could feel his hands slowly rubbing down my back before it gave my ass a firm squeeze earning a gasp from me.

"August!"

"Already got ya' moanin' my name and I ain't even done nothin yet but I prefer daddy"

"We had an agreement." I reminded him feeling the heat raise to my cheeks.

"Last time I checked you weren't babysitting Nedra yet since you out here fuckin' wit me. But I'll let you go, for now." And with that August walked to his car leaving me standing there completely, and utterly shocked.

What did I get myself into?
