Ambition {An August Alsina Story}

Hot Mess

"Guess what?," I jump on the bed.

"What?," August closes his laptop.

"Im going to my visit all the Inhale stores,"

"Why?,"

"To get my sales higher and plus I want to check on all the stores,"

"And when excatly are you leaving?,"

"Day after my birthday, " he sighs. "Dont do that, what were you going to say,"

"Nothing,"

"August dont shut me out,"

"Alright fine, I just feel like its unnecessary, "

"Why?,"

"I mean you have some of your friends and close family working in the stores a-,"

"Look August I dont tell you how you should do your music and when to go on tours. Shit you even left during my pregnancy to go on tour,"

"1. Dont try to flip this on me and 2. That was stricly business,"

"Okay 1. I wasnt trying to and I was just showing an example 2. This is strictly business,"

"I havent seen one check from your store,"

"Oh no honey I have been receiving checks you just havent seen them,"

"Why is that?,"

"My business my money,"

"Melanie thats like me receiving a check and not sharing with you,"

"That definitely the opposite,  babe. Listen to me I created this business on my own and I feel like I should have my money. That I earned,"

"Im not saying you have to share just dont hide it like im going to steal it. Believe me I have enough money,"

"So now we are comparing our money?,"

"Yeah," I look at him and we both get up and grab all our checks, coins, money, bank account statements, credit cards, and wallets.

"Just so you dont get any ideas," I get the duct tape and make a line cutting the room in half.

"Oh really on the bed?," He asks.

"Yes even the bed honey," I smirk.

"Mhmm its on," I blow him a kiss and start reorganizing my belongs on the ground.

"Whoa," Adrian walks in. "Mom whats going on?,"

"Not now baby," After about an hour we have our estimanted total on our phones. I look at the time. "10:35,"

"Yep," he tries to steal a peak. "On my count 1,2," I roll my eyes. "3," we show our total amount.

"Same number," I try not to laugh. "We need help baby," He laughs as I walk into his arms.

"Man we have some weird parents;" India says to Adrian.

"Odd," August and I break out in tears. How dumb to compare our money and try to see who cost more.

"Give me a kiss,"I kiss his soft, luscious lips.

"Oh girl," I laugh and kiss him again.

**

"Babe what is taking you so long?," I sit in a pile of clothes naked.

"We are cancelling date night," I pout as he begins to laugh. "Get out I knew you were going to come in here bothering me,"

"Im sorry," he tries not to laugh. "Stand up and lets find you something, " I grab his hand and he helps me up. "Put this on, dont nobody wanna see that,"

"Its your fault," I mumble as I slip on my robe.

"How?,"

"I would look pretty if you didnt destroy 'her',"

"Her?,"

"Yes August you destroy her she is under recovery," I rub my fingers through my hair. "And you just insulted me so get out,"

"Of our closet,"

"Yes get out August," He sighs. "Out,"

"Alright fine," I slam the door behind him and find my outfit. I grab my burgundy bralette and my high waisted pencil skirt. I start doing my make up and hair. "You al-,"

"Shut up," I tell him and he walks back out. I add my lipstick and look in the mirror. I grab my clutch purse and heels. I spray a little perfume here and there.

"You look cute Mom," India says.

"Thank you,"

"You look nice babe,"

"Thanks," I say under my breathe. "Okay India we will only be gone for 2 hours and we will be back. Call me if you need me-,"

"Or me," August stands behind me.

"So like I said call me and we will be back,"

"Mom its fine,  have fun," I slip on my heels and August lends his hand out. I take hisbhand and he helps me stand up.

"Come on," I slid on a bracelet on my upper arm. As we walk to the car August pulls me into his arms.

"Lose the attitude, "

"I dont have an attitude, "

"Then get rid of that look on your face," I look away and he grabs my face.  "Melanie I dont have time for games,"

"Whatever,"

"What the hell is wrong with you?  And Melanie I swear to god this will be the last time I will ask you," I look back at him.

"You basically said I look horrible,"

"What are you talking about I just told you how great you look,"

"No in the closet 'Dont nobody wanna see all that',"

"Are you fucking serious? You are bitching about that?," he laughs.

"Yes I am bitching about that. How many times do I tell you everything is not funny?,"

"Alright Im sorry, "

"You dont mean it," I cross my arms.

"Melanie Gianna Alsina, you look beautiful in every single way,"He looks into my eyes. "And I am sorry if I offended you in any way,"

"You are forgiven, "

"Thank you so now can we place leave the house," I smile.

"Yeah we can," He opens the door for me.
