"Okay fine..but this is only a temporary thing. Ill be out before you even know it." I said to him. "It's not a problem, stay as long as you need, I ain't trippin." I let out a slight smile and looked back over to Kathy. "Okay, so I'll be out by tommorow evening." "Actually you need to be out my 12, noon." "Well goddamn, alright fine, i'll be out in 10 mintues, thanks."
August and I took the elevator up to my suite. "So where we startin?" August asked from behind me. "Uh...you can just start with clothes, shoes and bags right now and I'll get my personal items." I didn't bring much with me, all my shit is back at my apartment." I sighed and shook my head. "We can go by tommorrow and get your things." August said. "Nah, it's cool, I know your busy and shit." "I gotta free day tommorow actually." He said with a smile. "Plus, you can't move all your stuff by yourself, you gon need some help."
He was right. Usually I would just call Stasia and Ev if I needed help with anything involving manual labor, but apparently I couldn't. I already had to explain how I was living in his guest house. "Thanks, I appreciate the offer August." He grabbed my hand and looked me in eyes. "It ain't a problem, were friends, it's cool."
After packing up the things I had at the hotel with me, Brutus drove back to Augusts' house. When we arrived, I was in awe. "This is your house??" I said in shock. August laughed. "Yeah ma, this is it, but follow me to your place. I picked up my one suitcase and August took it from me. I follwed him down a cobblestone path way to this mini mansion. "This is your guest house??" I said to him. "YES, this is the guest house." He took the key from under the welcome mat and unlocked the door. I followed behing him like a lost puppy.
"Wow.. this is really nice August damn." He chuckled a little. "Thanks, everything is brand new, nothing has been used." I nodded my head while looking around to to let him know I heard him. "Let me show you where everything is. We went up the white staircase to the second part of the house. I followed August into a bedroom. "Okay, this is the master bedroom and bathroom. There's another bathroom down the hall, along with a extra bedroom, for guests." "Oh and you already seen the kitchen and living room that was downstairs." "What, no excercise room?" I said jokingly. That seemed to have made August laugh. "Uh, nah. you would have to use the one in my house, if that's cool with you." "I was kidding, actually, but thanks." I smiled and took my suitcase from him. I layed it on the ground and unzipped it.
"Oh and one more thing." I turned around to face him to see what he was going to say. "Yeah?" I said. He reached into his pocket and pulled out two keys. "Here, these are for you to keep." I looked down at his hand with a confused face. "Uh, okay I know that one of these keys goes to the guest house..but what is the other for? A storage closet or something?" I asked. "Nah, its my extra house key. I want you to have it." My eyes shot open. "Your house key? I don't need that, I can knock." I said while crossing my around across my chest. "What if it's an emergency, or you wanna use the excercise room and Im not home?" I looked around the house one more time and looked back at him. "Ight, whatever." I took the key from him, and put it in a drawer by the nightstand.
"Alright, good. well ima go now, but be ready by 8 am, so we can go back to crib and get your stuff." "Okay." I said. August walked back down stairs and out the door. I heard the locks click, so I knew he had locked the door for me. I kicked off my heels and layed down on the bed. I was suppose to be unpacking the few clothes I had with me, but it was already 2am, and since I had to be ready to go by 8, I needed to rest.
I woke up the next morning dreading the day ahead. I looked over at mt phone to see that it was 7:45, I also noticed that I had a missed call from Stasia. I exited my call log and put my phone down. I couldn't talk to her right now, not until I got my story together. I got up and took a quick shower and threw on anything. I went downstairs to grab something quick to eat, when there was a knock at the door. I went over to answer and of course it was August. "You ready?" "Yeah, im ready." I grabbed my crossbody bag, key and phone and left to the car with August.
We pulled up to my apartment building, and I wasn't to ready to go back inside. I felt butterfies inside my stomach the whole walk to the front door. Once we were inside, I observed everything carefully. I didn't know if Quan had taken a trip back here or not. Everything was just as I left it. We walked into my bedroom, where I noticed plastic and caution tape covering my window, I guess maintanence got my message about it. The note that Quan left me was still crumbled up in the same spot. I picked it up and tossed it in the trash. "What was that?" August asked me. "Oh that? Its nothing, just trash." He had a look on his face as if he didn't believe me, but he didnt ask anymore questions so whatever. "So where do you want me to start?" "Uh I guess you can start with clothes, shoes and bags. And I'll get my personal items." "Ight coo." August said. He walked over to my walk-in closet and took a look around. "Damn bra, you got alot of clothes." I laughed. "You got me doing the hardest part and shit." I laughed again.
"No, Im not, I just didn't think you would want to help me get my personal things packed away. "Man I rather have did that, then pack up the never-ending-closet." He reached up to the shelves and started putting away my heels. "Really? so you would have wanted to put away tampons?" I said in a laugh. "Okay nevermind, I take that back." We both laughed and continued working. After about a 3 hours, we made it to the drawers in my room. I layed back on the bed, taking a quick break. "Come on Simone, we gotta finish this." "Okay, wait I just need a quick break." I took a deep breath and let it out slowly. All of a sudden, August came beside me and layed down. He rolled over to face me. "Okay 5 minutes." He said sternly. "Aha, whatever." I picked up one of my throw pillows and hit him with it. Then it was on. We started play fighting with each other, until I heard a loud thud on the ground.
We both looked over the bed to see that my photo album fell over from all the movement, Leaving all my pictures scattered across the tile. "Oh shit." I said as I got up. "Let me help." August got up and started picking up the pictures that fell near him. "Look at this." He held up a picture of me at one of the dances we had at school right before I left. "Omg, put that down!!" I tried reaching for it, but August put it up in the air while laughing. "haha, man you were so ratchet, im glad you look better now." I gave him a evil glare and continued to pick up more pictures. "Aw, im sorry Simone, Im playing, here." he handed me the picture and I punched him in the stomach. "Damn! What was that for?!" He yelled. "For laughing at me." I said with a smirk on my face. We laughed a little and picked up more photos.
I picked up the last picture and my heart dropped. I stood there staring at it. I felt August standing behind me, silent. I examined the picture. It was a picture of me and my mother when I was a little girl. We looked so happy together. I started to think about how happy I used to be with my mom, when she was clean. She was the best mother I could of asked for. I wiped a falling tear and cleared my throat. "Im sorry Simone...I know she meant alot to you." August placed his hand on my shoulder. His touch sent chills down my spine, but I played it off. "Thanks, but I don't really wanna talk about her okay?" I said turning around to face him.
After a mintue of silence, August spoke. "Can I ask you something?" I nodded my head yes. "You never want to talk about your mom, is there a specific reason why?" I sighed. "It's just something I don't talk about because I don't like reminding myself of what happened to me and I don't trust anybody with that information." August took the photo out my hands and sat it on the bed. He lifted my chin up to where we were face to face. "You can talk to me about anything..Im not here to hurt you Simone." He stared so deep into my eyes, I felt like he could see straight through to my soul.
"O-okay." I said in whisper. Being that close to him was so tempting. I couldn't control myself any longer. I put my lips up agaisnt his and we started a slow make out. I felt his hands slide down my backside and make there way to my ass. He squeezed it hard, twice, making me moan softly everytime. He pulled away from me and lifted his shirt up above his head. I felt his warm body up and agaisnt mine and my heart started beating fast. He moved down to my neck, sucking it, making me moan even more. All of a sudden my phone started vibrating. I leaned over, while August was still at work on my neck, and picked it up. "Nope." He said. "They can leave a message, your not available." He smirked and went back to work on my neck, moving down to my chest.
I let out a few more soft moans and I ended up dropping my phone back on the bed. I placed my hands on the back of his neck, letting him have his way. I opened my eyes and glanced over to my phone screen. Stasia was calling me. My whole body tensed up and he noticed. "What is it?" He said staring at me. I broke free from his embrace. "I-Uh, W-We can't do this. I pointed at the both of us. "Ha, well we kinda already started." He put his hands around my waist. "Noo, We cant do this right here, right now." I said sternly. "Ight, we can go back to my place and finish up." He kissed my neck again. "No, Ugh, that's not what I meant." I paused for a second. "We can't do this at all, it's not right." "What you talkin bout mayne??" He asked in a confused tone.
"We just can't do this alright!! Im not interested like that Okay?" I lied. "Were just friends." I lied again. I knew how I felt about August, it was apparent. I couldn't hide the fact that I was feeling him, but maybe if I lied to him and myself, I would start to believe it. "Pssh, whatever man, it's coo." I could tell August was taken back by what I just said, but whatever. I could't have him, no matter how bad I wanted him. And right now, In my bedroom, I wanted him..ALL of him.
