Life After Marriage Book 3

Make Ups

**** New Aug collab in m/m****

AMBER P.O.V. -

August had been downstairs in the basement all day, but I wanted him to come up so we could talk. Seeing as my leg was out of order, at least that's how it felt, I called him. He didn't pick up.

I texted him instead.

Me: Babe can you please come upstairs. I wanna talk.

Aug: Nah, I'm cool na'.

I sighed at how difficult he was being. Yes I was wrong for not hearing him out, but you can't tell me this entire thing wasn't suspect. Any woman in my position would jump to conclusions.

Me: Babe please. 😞

I didn't get a response. I contemplated walking down there, but I just didn't feel like having to get up now.

I guess I'd just get some sleep. As I was about to cut my light off, I heard his footsteps coming up the stairs.

I sat myself up against the pillows. He stood in the doorway with a red solo cup, I'm presuming filled with liquor.

"I'm not finna' stand here all day. What?" He lifted the cup to his lips and took a sip.

"Can you come in and close the door please?"

"No, cuz I didn't come up here to argue." He wiped his free hand down his face, and leaned on the door, taking another sip.

"And I don't want to argue either baby."

"So why you call me up here then?"

"Because I want to apologize to you for not listening to your side and believing some outside person over my husband."

"Oh so now you sorry? After you virtually ignored me. Didn't let me touch you or nothing."

"I said I was sorry August, what more do you want me to do. You make hella mistakes. Let me make some please." I said irritated, and shifting myself to get more comfortable on the bed.

"Aight you said what you had to say." He was about to walk out.

"Really August? You're going to walk out?"

"Yes, because you blew me. I stepped away from you thirty seconds in Paris, then who was I with the rest of the time?"

I didn't respond, I just rolled my eyes.

"All this time we've been together, when have I ever gave you a reason to think I cheated? All I do everyday is go to work and lay up under yo ass. No other nigga does that. They go out with they friends and shit. But no, my wife is enough for me. I rarely go out with sneak!"

"Okay August!" I wanted him to just shut up.

"No it's not okay. Cause you never use your brain when shit like this happens. It's like you want me to cheat or something. Newsflash, I'm not you. I know it's hard to believe, but I'm a faithful nigga. Yes there are some of us left."

The low blow he dealt, hurt my feelings. I messed up, but he didn't have to throw it in my face when we already crossed that bridge.

"Until I give you a reason not to trust me, you should."

"Okay August. You're right. I'm wrong."

"Pop-Pop why you fussing?" Auggie came up to him and hugged his long, lanky leg.

August rubbed the top of his head.

"No reason Auggie. Me and mommy just talking."

"But I heard you yelling."

"I know. We'll keep it down. Aight?"

"Okay." He put his index finger in his mouth and jumped up and down.

"Give Pop-Pop a hug." Aug picked him up and hugged him tightly.

"Where Sata and O?" aug asked him.

"We in O room watching Disney Channel. We got chips too. Grandpa Parker bought them for us. You want me to bring you some?"

"Nah you enjoy." Aug told him.

"You want some mommy?"

"Nah baby you guys enjoy."

"Okay." He shook his head and ran off down the hall.

"Are you going to come to bed?" I asked August, wanting him to sleep next me. I was in a little bit of pain, but I knew his presence would soothe me. . I was just as much a sucker for him as he was for me.

"Nah I ain't sleepy." He said about to leave out.

"I said I'm sorry what else do you want me to do?"

"You don't deserve to sleep next to me."

I think he just liked the idea of me begging him. That's why he was giving me a hard time.

"August please. I'm only comfortable when you next to me."

"I'll think about it." He left out.

"Ass." I huffed upset.

"What you say?" He came back to the door.

"Nothing." I smirked.

"yes you did. What you say?"

"I said grass."

"No you called me an ass."

"No I didn't it."

"Just for that no."

"Please baby." I whined.

He stood at the door for a minute, then came in and sat on his side of the bed. But he was far away from me.

"Why you so far?"

"Cause I don't want you touching me."

I pinched his lower back through his beater.

"Stop." He took a sip from the cup he was drinking.

"What you drinking?"

"Hennessey."

"Let me have some?"

"I don't want your nasty mouth on my shit."

I gave him the stale face.

He smirked and handed me the cup. I took a sip.

"You know what Auggie told me?" I handed him his cup.

"What?" He laid next to me, pulling me on him. This did make me feel better.

"He said he had a dream that a bird came and brought us twins. Isn't that crazy?"

"He could be right. You might have twins in there swimming in Henny."

I laughed. "Five test couldn't all be wrong right?"

"Maybe we should go to the doc and check?"

I sighed I was sick of this whole back and forth with the baby thing.

"I'll think about."

"Nah babe we need to know."

"I know but I'm sick of my hopes getting dashed."

"What I tell we gon have another baby. Either now or later. My soldiers is ready, but in the meantime we want to be sure. Aight?"

"Okay." I reached up and pecked his lips a couple of times, then actually kissed him.

"Love you babe." I pecked his lips one more time.

"Love you more."

We turned off the light and went to sleep.
