Chapter 6
I just gotta be real never been on no fake shit.
Say you wanted the truth but I hope you can take it,
lot of niggas had doubts said I wasn't gon make it
If I'm riding round with the same shit they probably would've been on my dick
& I probably would've been on freshman list BET wouldn't band shit.
R&B niggas would've been missed, bitch niggas wouldn't understand this.
Real talk nigga didn't plan this.

As I finished getting dressed, I heard somebody knock on the front door. Who in the hell is at my door? It can't be Jay or nobody because most of them have keys.
I walked out of my room running into Lay. "Mommy, somebody at the door!" She yelled.
"Sshh. I know." I walked over to the door, opening it, with Layla standing behind me, revealing.. August?
"What are you doing here? Wait, forget that. How do you know where I stay?" I say, questionally. Is he stalking me?
"Ma, no I'm not stalking you. Fix ya face; I'm just tryna chill. And ya friend gave me your address." He says with a smirk.
I'm going to kill Naziya, she can't hold water for shit. It had to be her.
"So, are you going to let me in?" He asked. "Wait, who is this?" I looked down, seeing Lay peeking around me.
"My daughter. Is that a problem?" Putting emphasis on 'my'. His eyebrows raised.
"Nah, but forreal? It don't seem like you had a baby."
"Well, you can't judge a book by it's cover." I sneered.
"True. But ma, you gone let me in or what? It's kinda chilly outside." I rolled my eyes, letting him in. He walked past me and sat down on the couch.
"Yeah. Just make yourself at home." Sarcasm intended.
"Oh, I was. So, what are we doing?"
"Me and my daughter was going to watch movies but, you know."
"Mommy, who is he?"
"Nobody." August laughed.
"I'm nobody?" I shrugged.
"What movie we watching?" He asked, leaning back.
"Ugh. Layla go pick a movie while I get the snacks." I walked into the kitchen.
Who the hell does August think he is? I don't care if you famous or not. Popping up un-announced and shit.
Gosh, he is so irritated with his cute ass.. and his accent-- wait, what the hell I'm talking about?
I popped some popcorn then put it in a bowl, grabbed a bag a chips, and got three drinks out of the fridge. With that, I walked back into the living room. Surprisingly, Layla was talking to August. She never talk to people she barely know. This is a first.
I sat the stuff down on the table. "Layla, what movie did you pick?"
"Insidious 2!" She squealed. Omg, I hate scary movies, but she loves them. What three year-old you know that watches scary movies?
"Your sure? You don't wanna watch anything else?"
She shook her head. "Ma, you scared?" August asked, amused.
"Ugh. Shut up" I turned the TV on then cut the movie on.
After putting the movie on, I sat on the couch beside Layla who was sitting next to August.

I woke up and looked around. What time is it?
I tried getting up but I felt a strong grip around my waist. Glancing behind me, I see August sleeping with his arms around me. I smiled, remembering last night. I forced myself to sleep last night because I couldn't bare watching that scary ass movie.
Moving from his grip without waking him up, I grabbed my phone. Fuck my life! I have to be to work in a hour and it takes thirty-five minutes to get there.
I hurried to my room and got dressed in my work clothes. Hurrying, I brushed my teeth and washed my face, throwing my hair in a bun.
Wait where is Layla? I can't leave her here by herself?
I rushed into her room and saw she was asleep. I pulled out my phone and tried to call Jay, no answer then Zaria, no answer again. Ugh! I called everybody didn't nobody answer. Who am I going to get to watch her? I can't take her to work or call in because I need the money. August!
I walked into the living room and tapped him on the shoulder, waking him up.
"I know this crazy, but I have to go to work and I need somebody to watch Layla. Can you watch her for me?"
"Yeah, I gotchu."
"Thank you so, so much!" I say then walked to the door but stopped. "Oh and if anything happens to her, I will kill you. Bye!" I heard him chuckle behind me.
"Iight. Trust me, I got you."
