As She Sat [August Alsina]

Chp. 18

Yasmin woke up to a sleeping August. He had his hands on her chest and his head in the crook of her neck. In her mind, she knew it was all just so crazy. The thoughts of everything that happened last night was replaying in her mind. She tried to ease out the bed but she could hardly move her legs.

"August," she shook him. He didn't budge. "Augusttt," she shook her a little hard this time.

"Hmmm..." he groan. His hand moved from her chest to her waist pulling her closer to him.

"I gotta pee - an- and I can't walk." There was a small hint of embarrassment.

"Umm.. aight." He grumbled softly and stretch before sighing.

He rolled out of bed to help her go to the bathroom. He stood in the doorway with the door wide open. "Goodmorning too," he manage to get out while yawning.

"Goodmorning August." She laughed. "I can't have any privacy?"

"Nah baybeh.. I done seen it now. No need to hide it," he grinned.

Yasmin shook her head as she sat down to handle her business. Once she finish, she grabbed onto the sink for stability. Laughter filled the room and it came from August.

"Shut up stupid." Yasmin rolled her eyes. Taking out an extra toothbrush and toothpaste from the bathroom draw. "I thought to cook for you but I guess not because me limping is laughable."

"Nah you can still cook. I'm bout to go clean up. I'll bring a shirt fa you."

Yasmin smile and looked at herself in the mirror. There was ever possible thought going through her mind. Of course, she wanted to talk about what happened last night but she didn't know how to feel. Everything just felt smooth with him. It wasn't forced, it was natural, and the sex - THE SEX was nothing short of amazing. But she didn't want to allow herself to jump the gun if it was just sex for him. Her mind was in turmoil trying to figure it all out. With everything happening and him being vulnerable, she decide to just put the conversation on the back burner for right now.

She made her way to the kitchen after finishing up in the bathroom and putting on the shirt August gave her. Ironically, it was the same shirt that she had on when she spent the night the first time. After examining his cabinets and fridgerator, she found enough to make pancakes, eggs, and sausages.

The aroma of her cooking started to spread throughout the house. Eventually, August emerge from the bedroom. "That shit smells good." He came up behind her and kissed her neck.

All the chills that Yasmin felt last night had came back to her. She froze so keep from feeling weak. Granted, she was already limping because of it.

"Thank you," she giggled. "I was planning to go home after this. I need to go reset myself."

"Dick did yo body good."

Yas rolled her eyes. "So annoying. Here. You want water or something else?"

"Water cool. Aye, I mean you put me to sleep too. I ain't even had to smoke a blunt after." He joked then took a bite of his food.

"August please." She eventually took a seat next to him.

"What? Ian lying."

"I- nevermind." She just remind quiet.

After they finished breakfast, she got dress and grab her things. Her walk was semi-normal again but you could still see her limp.

"I'm sorry Luv," August said causing her to jump.

"For what?" Yas asked puzzled.

"Fa fucking you up like that. You sure you gone be able to walk out this bitch."

"Boy shut up and move. I'm not finna play with you. I need to be at home right now."

"Aight. Aight. Lemme know when you make it." He pulled her into a hug. "Give me a kiss."

"Uh unn. Ion know where yo lips been." She mugged.

"It's a little too late fa that ain't it baybeh girl." He leaned in and kissed her. She started to just give him a peck but it didn't work out that way. August bit her lip for access. His hand wandered to her butt and he took a full handful after smacking it.

"Alright now. You done." She pulled away and August chuckled. Yas walked to her car and headed home.

Chris and Kia house was maybe 20 minutes away from his. She pulled into the driveway and turn the car off but sat for a few minutes. Her mind was still going back to August. Of course, she knew that Kia would know right off or she would have to tell her. A few more minutes went pass and she walked in the house to her room.

"Kia!" She called out.

Kia and the kids walked from the kids room to hers.

"Hi Mommy!" They screamed in unison. Davinity felt more comfortable calling Yas Mommy because that's what Jameson called her.

"Hey boo. Ian even hear you come in." Kia took one look at Yasmin and knew they needed to talk. "Jameson and Davinity, y'all can go finish watching Moana." They ran out the room quick.

"Girl—" Yas paused. "We had sex. Like it just happened. I have no idea where it came from. One minute we were watching a movie then next thing you know, he is kissing me. And it was so good. I mean so good. The way he just catered to my body was just... girl hell I don't know." Yasmin sighed with a smile.

"Bitch.... I thought you was going to just spend time with him and stuff. But I knew it was gone happen. Me and Chris even made a bet on it. From that time he told me how he spent time making you sister gravesite look nice for her birthday. And then before he left in May, he took you out on a not a date but a "date." Chris got to pay up now."

"Damn! So you never like Zach or what?"

"No. I did. But I just knew. So are y'all together or what?"

"I- I don't- Short answer? No. We didn't talk about it. I didn't want to because I literally had just broke up with Zach and he was grieving his brother. This literally couldn't have happened at a worst time." Yasmin fell all the way back on the bed.

"Oh my goodness. If y'all don't just get over that and get together. I see the way you look at him and smile when he is around. It's definitely always been chemistry between y'all."

Yasmin huffed. "I think we should just take it slow. Not sure what we doing but I want be sure he feeling something before I just put myself out there."
