The One Night Stand {An August Alsina Story}

Chapter 8.

(Derek in the picture!)

•Six Weeks Later•

~Bethany~

Well I was officially 10 weeks pregnant.

By August freaking Alsina.

The four different home pregnancy tests and the clinic visit proved it.

No one else knew besides August and Derek.

I couldn't believe I was going to be a mother in under 7 months.

I'd always wanted to have kids but not right now.

My life wasn't right.

August told me he would pay to 'take care of it' if I wanted.

Of course, I thought about it but it's just wrong to kill an innocent child, even though they'd be born out of lust and not love.

I hadn't heard from August in about a week and I was currently chilling with Derek on my couch watching a movie.

I'd just finished telling him about August wanting me to abort the baby.

"That asshole knocked you up and now he tryna run away from it? Aw hell nah," He stood up, "let's go find this nigga."

"Derek, calm down." I laughed tugging his arm.

"Ight but his ass betta call you today." He plopped down beside me and fake mugged.

"You are a mess." I giggled laying my legs across his.

This past month, Derek and I had gotten closer and he's a really chill dude.

We've become great friends and he was always there for me.

I wished he was the father of this damn child and not August.

We're in the middle of watching the previews for Ted when Derek's phone rang.

He checks the caller ID and drops the phone back in his lap.

I gave him a look and peeked at the phone.

That Bitch was calling.

I laughed at the nickname he gave his baby mother.

"Derek, you gotta answer this time." I said as she called 3 more times. "It's probably something about Darrien."

He rolled his eyes.

Darrien was Derek's 5 year-old son that he had with this girl named Trina.

To call her a gold-digging, ghetto hoe would be an understatement.

"Man, fuck Trina. I already sent her the damn child support." He mumbled. "All she want is money."

"Derek." I said, as she calls two more times.

He looks at me then quickly looks away from my intense stare.

"Fine, damn." He sighed, answering the phone. "What?"

"..."

"Fuck you mean where I'm at? Bitch I'm grown." He snorted, rolling his eyes.

I listened as she yelled something at him.

"He wanna see me? Ight, I'll come get him tomorrow." He hung up before she could respond.

I slapped his arm playfully.

"That wasn't nice."

He falls off the couch dramtically.

"Damn B, you know you hit like a man!"

We laugh and he hops back on the couch.

Just as the movie starts, the doorbell rings.

"Foooood!" He yells jumping up.

I laughed as he almost tripped trying to run to the door.

"If it's the pizza you're paying!" I yelled after him.

I heard the door open and then silence.

"The fuck do you want?"

I stood up and walked to the door.

"D, who is-August? What are you doing here?"

He stopped glaring at Derek long enough to glance at me.

"I came ta check on you." He lied.

He came to see if I was still pregnant.

Derek cleared his throat dramatically.

"Ima let y'all talk." He glared at August and kissed my temple. "I'll be in your room, B."

He bucked at August and then walked off.

"Why are you really here, August?"

He shrugged and stepped past me, going into the kitchen.

Rude ass.

I closed the door and walked in the kitchen to find him making a sandwich.

"Excuse me? This ain't your damn house." I crossed my arms and gavehim a stank face.

He waits until he finishes the sandwich to speak.

"You keeping it?" He asked quietly, staring at my stomach.

I chewed on my lip nervously.

I honestly hadn't thought this through all the way but I just was not ready for children.

"No".

He groaned.

"Is there a problem with that?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Hell yeah. Bethany you can't kill this baby." He said running his hands down his face.

"What the hell? Why?"I asked, confused.

He was pretty set on me aborting it so why change now?

"Because I-"He stopped and shook his head."Never mind."

He threw a stack of money on the counter along with a card for an abortion clinic before turning to me.

He surprised me by kissing my stomach and hugging me.

"If it's what you want." He said, before kissing my cheek and leaving.

I stared after him with my mouth open.

I hadn't seen that side of August in a long time.

The caring, compassionate, non-asshole August.

Why would he want to keep this child so bad?

I was so damn confused.
