Jasmine

flashback: may 28, 2005

"Mama!" Jasmine cheesed as her mother walked into the house. She ran over to her, the beads in her braids bouncing as she did so. She smiled at her 6 year old and picked her up, hugging her.

"Hey baby." She cooed in her ear. Once she put her down, Jasmine noticed the tall man standing behind her mother with a smirk on his face.

"Hello!" Jasmine said with a smile. "What's your name?" Jasmine asked, being as polite as she was raised to be. Her mother looked at the man and faintly smiled.

"Babygirl, this is Ron. This is mommy's boyfriend. He wanted to meet you today." Her mother introduced.

"Hi, I'm Jasmine." She smiled, showcasing a missing tooth in her bottom row of teeth.

"Hi Jasmine. You're a very pretty girl, you know that?" Ron said to her as he bent down to her level. She looked at him with her big brown eyes and smiled.

"Thank you."

Ron then stood up and whispered something in her mothers ear.

"Do you have to? I mean you really don--" Her mother said to him with a worrisome look on her face.

"It's been discussed already and I won't change my mind. Do it now." Ron said before disappearing into the kitchen. Jasmine's mother watched him and then dropped her head, sighing heavily.

"C'mon baby let's get you cleaned up and ready for bed." She told her as she picked her up and brought her to the bathroom down the hall.

After bathing her and getting her dressed in her nightgown, she tucked her in.

"Alright baby. Everything is going to be fine, I want you to just relax okay baby?" She whispered to her daughter. Confused, Jasmine furrowed her little eyebrows and looked at her mother.

"What do you mean, mama?" She asked as she watched a tear slip out of her mothers eye. She didn't say another word, just kissed Jasmine's forehead and then left the room.

Minutes later, the door opened again and Jasmine looked up, thinking it was her mother but was confused when Ron decided to sit on her bed.

"Why are you in my room?" Jasmine asked nicely. Ron ignored her question and ran his big hands along her arm as she sat up. She tried to remove it as her heart started to speed up and her fear increased.

Ron pulled the comforter from over her body, exposing the nightgown Jasmine was wearing. She immediately stiffened up in fear.

"Mama!" She cried out as Ron's fingers ran up her leg and rested on her private part. Jasmine was crying and shaking her head no as Ron pulled her underwear off and started to invade her innocence when he shoved his finger into her. Jasmine cried harder and tried to move away before Ron held her little body down with his strong arm, preventing Jasmine from moving.

"Shh, princess. I'm going to make you feel reallll special." He whispered to her as he unbuckled his belt and zipped down his pants, pulling out his manhood. Jasmine's eyes widened in fear as she watched him hover over her and shove himself into her.
