The aftermath || A Ja Morant story

Temetrius waited patiently for Maria to respond.

"Just give me an answer Maria." he sounded a bit irritated when he spoke.

Maria was still it complete shock.

She didn't know how to answer the question or if she should even answer it at all.

Temetrius huffed, "You being difficult." he said before pulling the engagement ring off of her finger.

He held it tight in his hand before calling Kk upstairs.

He wasn't kidding when he gave her that ultimatum.

Maria released a deep sigh, snatching the ring back.

She place it back on her finger, giving it a few wiggles to show off her bling.

Kk came to the room with a look of confusion glued to her face.

"Why did you call me up here?" she questioned the second she stepped through the door.

Maria looked down at her hand before sticking it out to show Kk.

"We're getting married!" Maria shouted.

Kk gave Temetrius a saddened stare before collapsing onto the floor.

Maria didn't know what to do or how to react.

Temetrius rushed over to Kk, checking her pulse the second he got to her.

"Why would you to that?" he looked up at Maria who was completely silent.

"I-I just wanted to show her the ring-" she stuttered, "I didn't thi-"

Temetrius quickly shut her up with an insult he'd never called her before.

"That's yo problem, you don't think." he hit the top of his head "Fucking stupid ass." he mumbled under his breath.

Haven heard him, Maria excused herself from the room.

She tried to fight the tears but barely managed to make it down the hall before crying.

Kaari awake to see her mother collapsed on the floor.

"Mommy!" she hopped down from the bed.

Shaking Kk's body, Kaari called out for her mother to wake up.

"Go find Ria. I got mommy." Temetrius demanded.

Kaari ran out the room, down the stairs to search for Maria.

Upstairs, Temetrius carried Kk over to the bed and patiently waited for her to wake up.

Kk stayed unconscious for about 25 minutes before coming to.

"You ok?" Temetrius asked as he felt the top of her head.

Kk blinked a few times, allowing her eyes to readjust to the room.

"What happened?" she ask Temetrius.

He let out a sigh, thinking how to tell her what happened without her passing out again.

"Uh. Maria showed you something and you fell out." he said.

Picking up the small black box, he handed it to Kk.

She opened the box to see the empty spot where the ring was supposed to be.

"You proposed?" she questioned.
