Alsina's

Still

Where y'all at doe?

August POV

"Where you going?" Mimi ask as I grab my keys off the dresser.

"Gotta make a move real quick. Ia be back."

"I thought we were gonna-well, nevermind. Go head'."

"I promise I'll be right back."

Mimi just lift her eyebrows and look back down to her phone.

"You don't want me to go do you?" I sigh and put the keys back down.

"You never tell me where you goin."

"I've never told you where I was going."

"Why tho?" She look at me now fully. I loon right back at her. Not scared of communication no more. Or telling the truth.

"Because you know where I'm going."

I don't do nothing unless it's with Mimi. And I don't go out until night. So whenever I do step out of the house during the day, her ass, and my ass knew, that I was staright selling drugs! And nothing else.

"Yeah, selling drugs."

I frown due to an agreement. "I thought we wasn't gon say that phrase in this house."

"I thought we tell the truth."

She smile the smile she smiles when she's being a smart ass.

"You knew. You know. The only way. You know that by now."

"I still worry. But whatever bossman. Just be careful okay? Love you, kisses."

I reach down and peck her lips three times. "Love you too muchkin. See you in about an hour."

"Ahh, actually not. Remember how we planned to go to the store? I'm just gonna go now."

She hop off the bed and head toward the closet.

"Here," I dig deep in my pockets and pull out a wad of cash. It was about two thousand in total. Amongst the bank roll was a bunch of twenties and fifties. Some tens.

I take out ten 10s, five 20s, and six 50s. Four hundred in total. With the money I walk over to the closet and hand Mimi the money.

"Come on August, I don't need that."

"Take it." I grab her hand myself and put the money in it.

Mimi count it fast and look up at me.

"Really nigga. Four hundred dollars for groceries?"

"Keep the change ma'. Bye."

I walk away before she could protest more.

Mimi POV

Getting money from August was always a good feeling even if I put off as if it wasn't. Not because I'm money hungry, not because I'm materialistic, and not because I depend on him.

But because it let's me know he's thinking about me and not just doing what he does just for himself.

On the dark side though, I didn't like where it came from. I didn't like the fact that he got every dollar he gave me from another drug dealer. And that it was technically illegal money I was holding in my hand. That part didn't sit too well with me but it was handled usually one of two ways.

Putting the dark side off and forgetting about it for a while and get over it. Or simply remember that August is always right when he says, "You knew. You know." Something he said often. The truth he said often.

And I sometimes end up putting the money in our joint account

The Walmart parking lot was packed so I parked all the way in the back. Didn't mind though. I need to walk, get some type of exercise in. I been slipping lately.

Due to that, buying healthier food will be the start. So I load up on fruit. Mainly pineapple and bananas (A/N my favorite food yall!). Plus more water and tea instead of the Capri Suns and other processed stuff. Instead of chips I get wheat thins and granola bars.

When I get all the main stuff. I go down the candy aisle to get August's munchies. (If I was gonna take a leap and semi-change thr eating for the both of us then I might as well be considerate and buy something for him when he's high. #GoodGirlfriend)

I smile to myself just thinking about the thought.

"Hey beautiful, you know I love to see that smile on your face."

I stop the cart. Roll my eyes and sigh deep. "You again."

Here we go y'all. Short chapter because I'm tired and sick. Pray for me. Lbvs.

Btw, to all my Empire watchers. We should keep each other in prayer and consideration due to the hurt of the season being over. #TeamJamalandCookie #FreeLucious #ThumbsDownBooBooKitty  ! Lol
