I would like to thank you guys for giving me over 1k views. I know it doesn't seem like a lot but I didn't expect this book to get that many views/comments/votes. So to thank everyone, im going to do a double update this weekend :)
Imani POV:
Today was the first day off I've had in a couple weeks, dealing with the New Orleans trip and budgeting has been a lot harder than I thought it would be. Especially now that so many celebrities got involved- most of them for PR cred- they decided it was necessary to know exactly what their money was going to create. Between my service project and August's album being released, we barely have time to see each other recently. I figured I might as well spend the first half of the day relaxing, so i grabbed my laptop, a book and headed downstairs to make myself some breakfast. It was 9 am, even though I didn't have work, I still wanted to get up early. I walked into the kitchen, pouring myself a cup of coffee as I hummed the tune to August's newest song.
I sat cross-legged on my sofa, switching between texting August, shopping online and reading my book. Days like these are when I enjoyed the peacefulness in my apartment, it was a time for me to relax and just enjoy myself. My phone went off, alerting me that I got a text from August.
You at your place rn? the text read.
Yea, u coming over or..? I responded almost instantly. I went back to my book, distracted at the lack of response i got. The thing about August is that he always had his phone on him, and always automatically texted back. Those concerns went away as I was sucked into the plot of Thirteen Reasons Why, a novel about a suicidal girl. I don't exactly know why I am reading it, I'm positive that it is filled with triggering scenes, I'm only three chapters in and there were multiple points where i ad to just stop.
"You know I love when you read," I heard August say from behind me, I turned around surprised tat he was in the room with me.
"What are you doing here?" I asked rushing over to give him a hug. I kissed him passionately, biting is bottom lip as I pulled away.
"I just wanted to see you, we haven't spent a lot of time together recently." August answered with a frown.
"Okay, so what do you want to do then?" I asked. He wrapped is arms around my waist, and just the feeling of is touch sent shivers down my spine.
"Whatever. You. Want." he answered huskily, kissing my neck in between every word. Lately, August has been a lot more touchy, and although it felt amazing, I knew he wanted more. We have been dating for three months, and we've never had sex. It must be weird for someone like him, an entertainer, to go from going out almost every night and girls throwing themselves at him to not having sex in months. I had to admit though, his advances were very tempting, but I wanted to wait.
"You don't have studio today?" I asked confused.
"Nah, I took the day off. We all needed a break." He answered, plopping down on the sofa I was just sitting in.
"How is the album going?" I asked, walking to the kitchen to get him something to drink.
"It's going..." He said after a moment's pause. I poured him a glass of orange juice and walking back to the living room.
"What do you mean babe?" I asked confused, the last time we talked he said his album is almost done and he was so excited. Now he seemed unsure of the whole idea.
"I don't know how to describe it," August started, "it just seems wrong, like the timing, I need to get so much done in so little time." He started to list off everything he had to do, while I walked behind him and started massaging his shoulder.
"Babe," I said in between kissing his neck, "just focus on the music okay? I will do the promotion. It's the least I can do for all the efforts you did for my fundraiser." I said, still massaging his tense muscles. " Also, take off your shirt," I commanded.
"Damn Ma if you wanted to see me like that all you had to do was ask. " he said with a smirk.
I rolled my eyes at his comment, waiting for him to remove his top. He did slowly, in a teasing manner making eye contact with me. I blushed as he winked at me seductively. My eyes trailed down his chest to examine his abs. I had an aerial view of everything, including the glorious "v line" that lead to the drawstrings of his pants.
"Have I ever told you how much I love it when your shirtless?" I said, tracing his abs with my hands.
"Mmmmm, once or twice." He answered with his eyes closed. I continued to massage his shoulders, paying close attention to the knots below his neck.
"Let's go swimming babe." I said after a moment, finishing up with his massage.
"Swimming?" He asked, confused.
"Mhm, go get changed. It'll be fun!" I said, excitedly.
"Okay babe, whatever you want." He said, kissing me softly. "Lemme use your bathroom real quick." I nodded, moving my hands from his chest. I bent down to grab my things and I felt a smack on my behind. I looked at August in mock annoyance.
"Whoops, my hand slipped." He said smugly, I rolled my eyes at his playfulness. I picked up my things once again, after hearing the bathroom door close. I was about to head up to my room when I heard a text alert come from August's phone.
