Hustle Anyway: An August Alsina Story

Mauray Typa shit (part 1)

"Dat means August is the father right?" Deja asked clueless.

I nodded at her and she grinned like a kid on Christmas day.

"I told yall!" She clapped.

Eva had this distant look in her eye.

"Hey " I said placing her chin in my palm and causing her to look up at me. "We gon be aight"

I pulled her into a hug seeing how saddened she looked.

"Now if yall will excuse me, I got shit to do...and August imma call da insurance company to schedule us goin in and signing up for our son's life insurance" she made sure to stress on the our

***Eva Pov****

Deja was officially 99% in my life I thought as I walked into my room.

"Eva, have you seen my cheetah print heels?" Anika asked me as I came into da room.

"You borrowed dem to Kimberlyn last week" I answered her not wanting to indulge in the last hlf an hour of my life

"Where are you goin doe? I swear you harder to find than James Bond these days" I said when I saw her midi sheath dress.

"Uhh to da club, like duh ' she replied.

Anika wasnt fooling me though. "Stop lying, you never wear anything passed your thighs to the club" I smirked.

"Bitch its a conservative ass club" she shot me a look.

"Yeah and they dont let you wear jewelry there either " I smiled a bit. Anika never left the room without some type of earring or necklace.

Bingo! "Tell the truth now...liar" I folded my arms

She sighed, " ok ok ..just promise me you aint gonna tell Kimberlyn of chloe or none of those hoes"

She sat next to me and I could hear how serious she was in her voice.

"No of course not" I promised.

She sighed again. "Ok reason why i haven't been around much is because. ...i been going to church"

"Church?' I raised an eyebrow

"Yes church as in church church!" She said

" but why? I always invite you to come to church wit me but you blow me off all the time" I asked confused

"Ok! I met a really nice guy, only thing is he's seventh day adventist." She finally admitted

"Ohhh that explains the no jewelry" I nodded at her smiling

"Yes...and he is so good to me. I just wanna give it a chance so ive been attending service and all his functions since he is the pastor" she continued

"Oh wow, you went straight to the top," I joked. She eyed me."I just joking! But im happy as long as you are"

She hugged me, " girl I am...he is so different from all those fools I was wit in d past"

"Whats his name?" I asked

"Damien," she said pulling out her iphone showing me a photo.

"Awww look at you two! He is cute" I said seeing the light skinned well groomed man in a pic hugging Anika.

"Thanks Hunty" she said smiling at the photo.

"So how you and Chris Brown junior doing?" She joked.

"How the hell you comparing August to Chris brown?" I nudged her

"Well dey both light skinned, both sang and both seem to love Caribbean girls," she chuckled.

"Yea but my man doesnt beat on women, check yourself girl" I snapped my finger like a ratchet chick causing us to both laugh

"Fr fr...he a good guy" she acknowledged

"Yeah...we also got the dna results from the test today" I said

"Ohhh and?" She looked at me waiting for an answer but my expression said it all

"Oh shitt im sorry hunny. Damn I was positive that it wasnt his!" She sucked her teeth a little

"Yeah me too," I added, " I mean I know August and I just really got together but I would think frm time to time that in the future I would give him a son, or a matter a fact his first child"

"Girl we all do," she rubbed my shoulder. "Me and Damien been together for about a month and I think about it from time time " she chuckled

"But dont worry. If that day comes for you and Aug lord knows he will be super thankful. Eva youre an amazing person. Iintelligent, ambitious and bound for success and not to forget gorgeous! Shit, you and Aug's kid would be halle berry pretty! ...unlike dat $2 hoe's genes"

We both laughed as she said that. "Aug better prayyy that baby takes on his side of da gene pool only!" She finished

Talking to Anika really helped as I took a photo for her so she could post on instagram, before she left. August was at the studio at this time so I decided to nestle into my bedroom with some ben & jerry's ice cream before watching Love and Basketball.

"Ben? Jerry? Promise me all yuh wont cheat on me and get a stripper pregnant okay?" I joked to myself before sinking the spoon of mocha chocolate chip ice cream into my mouth.....
