Better Days (Completed)

- Kicking It

Aria and August in MM

Jasmine

"Where we going dawg? I just wanna go home." Chris complained.

"Just relax please."

He kissed his teeth and looked out the window and I turned the radio up letting Beyonce fill the car. After talking with August I've decided he's right and I can't deprive myself the chance of being genuinely happy.

I pulled into a wooded area and killed the engine.

"You gone try and kill me? What we doing in the damn woods Jas forreal?"

I laughed at how serious he was. "Shut up. Usually I come out here to clear my mind. To get rid of what ever it is that's bothering me." I turned towards him giving him my full attention. "And something's on my mind."

"Like?"

"Like I'm scared Chris."

"I am too. I don't fucking like the woods."

I smiled and dropped my head before looking back at him seriously. "I like you so much." I started and he snapped his head in my direction looking at me to see if I was serious. "I'm just scared to give myself to a man, trust a man, love a man. The very first man I put my love, trust, and everything into was my father and he scarred me beyond repair. I'm so scared but I'm getting older and I can't live the rest of my life scared so I'm trusting you, trusting you not to do what my father did."

He looked over at me and placed his hand on my cheek caressing it and smiled. "Just give me the chance Jas, I ain't gone be perfect but just give me a chance aight?"

I smiled and nodded and he leaned in pressing his lips against mine gently. It made me uncomfortable as hell at first and I just wanted to curl up but I eventually gave into my true feelings for him and returned the kiss.

He pulled back and looked at me. "Now get me up outta here dawg ima nigga this ain't my typa party."

I laughed and started the car back up and headed back to his home.

Iyasia

"Go away!" I yelled at whoever was at the door.

They continued to knock and eventually began banging.

"Well who the hell is it?!" I yelled only to be greeted with more banging.

I swang the door open and it was as if the earth stopped spinning.

"Baby girl..." He said softly.

"Dad...."

"Can I come in?"

I was so lost and confused I couldn't even bring myself to respond.

"Iyasia you gone just stare or you gone let ya old man in?" He nervously chuckled.

"My old man? I haven't seen you since I was eight." I said calmly, I lacked the energy to yell. I lacked the energy for anything really, especially this.

"Asia just let me come in and we can talk."

"We can talk right here, you're not coming in my home."

He sighed and shook his head in agreement. "Fine, how've you been?"

"Where've you been?" I snapped back ignoring his question.

"Asia I just...I had to go sweety, to protect yal. I couldn't put yal in danger." He explained.

"Protect us? Do you even know-" I paused to calm myself. "Do you even know mom is dead?"
