I ran up to Rick and went to give him a kiss, but he turned his face away.

"What's the matter?"

"Why the hell you coming out of that nigga car?"

"Babe, you're overreacting again. He just drove me home."

"Why did he have to drive you home?"

"Because I stayed the night. and I already know what you're going to ask. and the answer is no, I didn't just spend the night with him. His brother and his brother'a girlfriend was there too."

"That's not what I was gonna ask. I was gonna ask you if you fucked him?"

"No, I didn't. What part don't you get about me not being ready to do that do you not understand?"

"Alright, I'm sorry for accusing you. it's just I get jealous that you may find someone better than me."

"Well you don't have to worry about that. okay?"

"Okay. C'mon let's go to my house."

I hopped into the car. During the ride, I was thinking about Tre and what we did. I felt so guilty. I decided to just tell him.

We arrive at his house. We go inside and it was kind of quiet. "Where's your mom?"

"Oh she's on a business trip."

"Oh okay. I have to get something off my chest."

"What is it?"

"Well you know the guy who drove me home?"

"Did he hurt you? I'll kill him." he standing up

"No! No, he didn't hurt me. It was actually the other way around. Instead of hurting me, he pleasured me."

"I'm not following"

"He gave me head." I blurted out.

He started laughing hysterically.
"You're joking right?" He saw I wasn't laughing.

He got up close to me. "You actually let that nigga touch you." He turned his back to me.

"I'm sorry, it didn't mean anything. I swear." I pleaded.

I watched attentively to see what he would do. Then all of the sudden he spins and knocks me off my feet. I hit the floor tasting blood.

I look up at him through my blurry vision. "Are you crazy?!"

"Oh, you think I'm crazy? I'll show you crazy, since you wanna let niggas touch you. You won't mind if I touch you." He punched my side "huh!" He punched me on the other side.

"huh.....huh.....huh!" he punched my body over and over.

I let out small whimpers and silent cries. My body is in so much pain.

He sighed. "Look what you made do." He started kneeling beside me and hugging me. "You know I love you right? And because I love you I wanna see you do right. So if I gotta smack some sense into you then so be it.

Now as for the guy that drove you home, I don't want you around him. If you see him, walk the other way. If he talks to you, ignore him. Also, do not go telling anybody about this. You hear me?"

I nod my head. he forcefully grabs my face. "Do you hear me?" His voice increasing in volume.

"Yes" my voice croaked out.

"Good." he grinned. "Now go get cleaned up. In my moms room there's tons of makeup. Use it, and make sure it's waterproof, I don't want to see any evidence that I ever hit you."
