《August Alsina's Blessing In Disguise》Here We Go Again

❤️‼️
I was sitting at my office filing paperwork when my phone rang.
💙💍
I smiled as I picked it up.
: Hello
: Hey baybeh. I was just callin ta check on ya..
Earlier this morning I didn't feel good so I was going to stay in bed, but Paris called and said they needed me for a meeting and to sign some papers.
: I think I'm fine now.. just a little more tired than usual but I stepped into the office to do some small work then I'll be home.
: Ight just don't overwork ya self.
: I'm not babe. How's the new song coming?
: Right na we on break but it's coming along. Had ta make a few changes and shit but everything's good.
: I'm proud of you babe.
: Thanks baybeh but we finna start recording again. I love you.
: I love you too.
: Forever and Always?
: Forever and Always.
And with that we hung up the phone.
I finished signing all the paperwork I needed so I could drop them off to Paris.
I was beyond ready to leave because this office chair was hurting my back and I was hungry.
I rode the elevator down and headed to Paris's office.
I used my Master Key to open the door since she was on the phone with a client.
Once she finished up her conversation I handed her the papers and sat on one of the chairs in front of her desk with a sigh.
"Hey boo. What's wrong?" She said laughing at me.
"Nothing just tired... and hungry." I said chuckling.
"So you must want me to go to lunch with you?"
"Well I think you would be the best friend in the world if you did...." I said looking at her with pleading eyes.

"Bitch I'm your only friend." She said.
We both laughed.
It was true Paris is the only girl I consider a friend. Everybody else was just associates.
"Fine I'll go just give me 2 more minutes to finish up this email and I'll meet you there." She said going back to typing on her computer.
"Yay and this is why you're my best friend."
"Whatever hoe." She said laughing.
"Bye hoe." I said walking out of her office.
I walked to my car and turned on my playlist.
I looked up places to eat near me and decided on iHop. I texted Paris the addresses to iHop and started to drive.
Once I pulled up I cut the engine. I walked in and was greeted by the Hostess.
"Hello and welcome to iHop. Will it be a table for just you or will more people be joining?" She asked.
"Hi and I need a table for 2 please."
"Alright, table or booth?"
"Booth please."
"Follow me and I'll get you seated and your waiter."
Another 3 minutes went by and Paris walked in.
It wasn't totally packed since it was 1pm and most people already had breakfast. I waved my hand so Paris could see me and she walked over.
"Hey did you order already?" She asked sitting down.
"I just ordered us both some water."
"Hello my name is Layla and I will be your waitress for this afternoon." She greeted us with a smile. "Are you ready to order?" She asked pulling out her pen and paper.
I looked at Paris since she'd just gotten here no to long ago. Paris shook her head yes.
"Ok I'll have the double chocolate chip pancakes, actually I'll do the triple stack, with a side of scrambled eggs, french toast, can I also add a bacon cheese omelette with extra bacon, a side of strawberries, and a orange juice no pulp please." I said and handed her my menu.

Paris just looked at me for a second then ordered her food as well.
Once Layla left Paris just stared at me again.
"Damn bitch what?" I said laughing.
"Hoe you the one ordering the whole damn menu." She said. "Is there something you need to tell me.. Morg are you pregnant again?" Said asked seriously.
Hearing the word "pregnant" just made chills go down my spine.
"No... I don't think so." I said while trying to remember the last time I had my period.
"Morgan Taylor when was the last time you had your period?"
I just shrugged my shoulders.
Just as she was about to ask me another question Layla came back with our food.
As we ate a certain smell kept bothering me. It felt like I was gonna throw up.
I looked over and seen Paris eating a Pig-In-A-Blanket. All of a sudden I rushed to the bathroom and let out all the food I'd just eaten.
"Morg once we leave we're getting a pregnancy test." I heard Paris say from outside the stall.
"Ok." I said not even arguing with her because at this point even I wanted to know.
We got some to go plates and headed to CVS.
I gave Paris the money to get the test since I was starting to get a headache.
Once she came back out the store we headed to my house.
We got our food from the restaurant and the CVS bag out the car and rushed into the house.
I drunk plenty of water on our way here so I wouldn't have to force myself to pee.
I took the bag from Paris and walked upstairs.
"I'll just sit on the bed and wait till you're done." She said taking her shoes off and getting on my side of the bed.
I just nodded and took a deep breath as I went into the bathroom and shut the door.
I sat down on the toilet and peed on 2 sticks.
Once I got done I read the box and it said to wait 10 minutes.
I just sat down against the tub and set a timer on my phone.
I closed my eyes to think about what if I am pregnant..
What will August say..
What will everyone else say..
I'm scared because I've never raised a child before..
What if I'm not a good mother..
What if me and August split up and he wants nothing to do with our child..
It seemed like as I was thinking time flew by because my phone alarm going off snapped me out of my thoughts.
I cut off the timer and stood up.
My hands were shaking and they started to feel a little sweaty.
I looked at both test and they read:
I sat them down and cried.
I wasn't upset I was happy.. excited.. scared.. all these feelings came rushing at once and all I could do was cry.
I heard a knock at the door.
"Morg you ok?" Paris said coming in.
She looked at the test and just wrapped her arms around me.
We both stood there hugging each other crying for another 2 minutes.
"I'm so happy for you bestie." Paris said wiping my tears.
"Oh my gosh.... I'm going to be a mommy." I said out loud.

Yuzu, a simple pawnshop owner's daughter finds herself in possession of a mysterious ornate chest that has the power to manipulate destiny. Her normal life in an asian influenced Victorian era changes dramatically as she gets plunged deep into a dangerous, mystical world filled with secret rituals, horrifying monsters and ancient gods.

She must develop her powers as an Exalted, find allies and unravel the mysteries that govern the course of history. The delicate balance that holds the nation in check has already been disrupted. How far will those ripples spread? - Author's Note - This story starts quite slowly, and takes until about Chapter 16 to get rolling. I wrote this to be the kind of story you can really get into, where the world and characters are fleshed out and when the action happens it makes sense and hits hard. Thank you for reading. Update Schedule: Every Wednesday and Sunday at 5PM PST (8PM EST)

Paranoid Mage
Attention Amazon: ID: PRI-PSCSXB97WPG Now on Book Two! Check the Volumes selector to make sure you start at the right place! Book One: Paranoid Mage Buy on Amazon! Callum had seen things all his life. There are monsters and beasts living among people, but he learned very early not to admit such things, not if he didn’t want people to think him crazy. It turns out that the supernatural is real, but at thirty Callum has no desire to be part of that secret. Not that he has a choice when it turns out he is a mage, albeit one that hasn’t cast any spells in all his life. There are requirements, duties, and education that the powers that be insist he be subject to. To hell with that. Book Two: Renegade Mage Buy on Amazon! After escaping from the Guild of Arcane Regulation and the Bureau of Secret Enforcement, Callum has lost his greatest protection: his obscurity. Now the powers that be know who he is, and hiding is harder than ever. Nor is hiding a plan, just a reaction. Now Callum is forced to decide how he wants to approach the supernatural world, and how he’s going to keep himself secure when the apparatus of government is arrayed against him. Even if he wanted to live as a mage, that bridge has been thoroughly burned, and even if he wanted to live as a normal person, he is far too deep to close his eyes to what he’s seen. He has to make his own terms. Paranoid Mage is an urban fantasy but it goes rather sideways from the normal stuff fairly quickly. Chapters are Fridays, 5PM EST, with approximately 5,000 words per chapter. Join our Discord!

YAOS 1 - Limitless Adventures - Yet Another OP Story Book 1
December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and at Amazon. December 30th 2018: V1.1.2 of YAOS Book 1 is out, some content additions, fixed typos. Amazon's enhanced typesetting now displays tables properly. YAOS is shown through the eyes of some genius athlete getting OP inside a VR, ah wait, Full Immersion game, ?F.I.O?. Not a Hero, not a Nerd, just a driven individual paying for mistakes made, biding time until he can return to the Real World. He isn't defined like you'd normally do it, you can pick his looks and name all on your own, just like you do in video games. Believe it or not, keeping his looks undefined is harder than you think. His backstory isn't expounded in detail, but it drives his choices. Book 1 isn't about depressing sob stories but about fun and rushing forward, pursuing new horizons. Oh, and you'll end on a cliffhanger! Well, most serials do, so you will probably expect that without being told explicitly. But it isn't that bad, there's a lot of reveals and more to come once this book, that is the first in a planned three-part series, is finally ready for release on amazon et al. The published version will have: 1.) Godawful speaker tags, I hate them, they make you stop thinking and speed up editing so much. In hindsight they should have been in to begin with. But I stand by my goals proclaimed earlier. You guys should think while reading, that is the whole point of the exercise. Apply the knowledge and ideas, improve yourself, get creative! 2.) Pretty colored tables, the damned blue boxes, a lot of work, 69 in one book. Finally fixed amazon's centering issue. Can't say I liked the hours needed to debug that. 3.) The promised Mitara chapters. 4.) A cover! 5.) And lastly, updated polished versions of several chapters. MC shares more of his past, some terrible chapters (esp. 32) finally work. Some new scenes, minor rewrites in parts. Text flow and other issues. The current challenge is to maintain essential ambiguity while satisfying people wanting to know more without thinking three steps ahead. Balancing one with the other is tough. The smut which was in remains, but the story told is not to be superseded by it. A 15+ rating for the first book is also important, not to mention, YAOS wasn't meant to contain any smut to begin with. If the Author can turn to writing full time his output should increase, so please support YAOS #1 once it does finally release. ~Thank You~ No maps so far, that should be in, but is really hard to get done right. Again, tips are appreciated. Update September 2017: Stubbed chapters, sorry guys, currently don't have time to upload them elsewhere, polishing book 1 and 2, writing 3, takes precedence. Book 1 is in heavy editing, too much to keep synced and continuing editing. I'd need a site which offers JS-free rapid managing of chapters and comments. Coding one myself or setting a premade up is out of scope until I'm done with the books. RRL-old offered that, nuff said. This is only here because the author believes in fairies, nobody reads this, most likely. October to December 2017: Life threw some curveballs. February 2018: Book 2 draft 1 completed, at ~150K words. Book 2 is fairly epic in scope, requires 1 rewritten chapter, some editing. Tables and miscellanea are in, but needs at least a grammar pass. March 2018: Book 3 at 28k words, first arc, rest needs serious planning for spin-off and satisfying conclusion. July 2018: Yet another proofing/editing session of books 1-3, 101+ chapters, ~300k words. B3 at 48k, starts out great, but no ETA, no wordcount limit, in flux. But prioritizing my writing cannot be done, I hate the delays as much as you, but you will prefer the whole released in a timely fashion rather than wait. Knowing myself how excruciating waiting can be, at least you'll get significantly polished versions and an ETA on book 2 by release of book 1. December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and in the process at Amazon et. al.. . To all who wait patiently, offered feedback, thanks again!
