A MEMPHIS CRY

Chapter 7

      *I hate him*

Midnight

     Jasmine

I stood at my bedroom door Watching my father sneak in Tiera's room and close the door behind him. I knew what he was doing with her and she was nasty for doing it with him. How could my mother be so foolish to love and respect this girl after she was fucking her husband? I closed my door climbed in my bed and cried. My family had been ruined since Tiera step foot in this house. I hated that girl with a passion and I didn't hide it at all. She was trash to me, I understood she lost her parents, but why did I have to lose mines too. Me and my father had a good relationship before she came and now that she was here it was falling apart.

I laid in bed with heavy tears falling down my cheeks, once again Sam had came into my room and raped me. I felt so dirty and useless I forced my weak body up and went to take a shower. The streaming water poured out on my body as I washed off his scent and his disgusting touch. I cried for my mom and my dad, but then again no one could save me, they were gone.

Later that day:

I walked a few blocks down from the complex and saw Zamond, who was known as gun man around the neighborhood. I gave him two hundred dollars and he gave me a nine mm. I put it in my book bag and rushed back home, I promised myself this would be the last time Sam laid his nasty hands on me. The fact that my parents were no longer on this earth to protect me, I had to start protecting myself. Nobody knew what he was doing to me, but me and him. With Jasmine hating me since we were kids I could never talk to her and tell her my problem with her father and far as telling my aunt it would break her heart and honest with the love she gave me daily that was the last thing i wanted to do to her.

Nelson continued to yell and scream at me like he was my father. But with the temper he had I knew their was no match for us, he was bigger and much stronger than me. He was starting to plucking my last nerves, with his jealous and controling ways and I didn't know how much I could take. Granted I was doing my dirt on the side, but he didn't have proof so his assumptions were making him look like an ass right now.

"Girl I asked you a question" He walked over to me and jacked me up against the wall. "Who you been fucking and don't lie to me"?
"Nobody Nelson damn. Your so insecure and I'm tired of it" I cried out as he still had me pinned to the wall.
"You lying I've been hearing alot of shit about you" he said standing there with red eyes.
"I swear I'm not" I yelled snatching away from him. By the looks of it I acted so good I deserved a Oscar.
His face saddened and he tried to take a step closer to me but I threw my hand up to stop him "Don't come near me. Nelson we need a break" I said walking over to the couch collecting my things.
"Where you going"? His voice soften up.
"To my mother's for a while" and with that I was out the door slamming it behind me.

He was right I was fucking someone else, but I would never tell him. Even if he had the evidence right in front of us I would still lie. Me and Nelson been together for a few years now and of course i used him every chance I got. I wasn't in love with him at all, but anyone else would have thought so.

King texted me and asked me if I would come outside to chill with him. At first I didn't want to because I didn't wanna upset my aunt, but then I knew it was late and I knew she was sleep so I decided to go out. Sam was drunk and passed out so I knew he wasn't getting up no time soon. I looked in the mirror to check myself out first, I didn't wanna go out there looking a hot mess. Beings though it was a warm night I slid my jogging pants on, a black tube top, some socks and my nike flip flop. I pulled my long thick hair up into a tight ponytail and ran in the bathroom to do my hyigenes before I stepped out the door, quietly.
Once I got out to the park the warm air hit my soft skin I spotted King sitting there looking good as shit with a all black fit and a black snapback on. I walked over and embraced him in a hug... God he smelled so good. Everytime I looked in his face I tried not to stare so hard, he reminded me of that Rapper Dave East with his cute ass.

"How you"? He asked as he leaned up against the table.
"I'm good" I smiled and took a seat on top the table next to where he was standing.
"Cool... I missed ya ass" he said Chuckling.
I smiled hard "Missed you too sir". This feeling felt so weird because I had never felt this way about nobody and nobody ever made me all bubbly inside.
"Ya parents ain't gonna trip you out here with me is they I don't want ya pops coming out with a gun and shit" he said laughing, as he looked around as if someone was coming.
I  laughed and shook my head no and looked away shyly. "You sure I mean I am out here with his baby girl and shit"?
My smile faded as I stared at him for a second unsure if i should tell him the truth or not "Nah... My parents are dead" I said in a soft low voice.
His whole facial expression changed. "Oh damn my bad babe".
"It's cool you didn't know" I said looking away and shoving my shoulders unbothered. My parents been gone my whole life i was kind of use to it now, although I missed them so much.
He finally broke the silence between us and looked over at me with them soft sexy eyes"How did they die if you don't mind me asking"?
"Car accident when I was nine. I've been with my aunt every since".
"Damn... Sorry to hear that" he said taking a deep breath.
"So ya parents ain't gonna trip you out here with me"? I joked.
He laughed " You funny I'm grown. I got my own shit".
"Is that so"? I said smiling.
He nodded his head "Yeah got my own car and my own place I don't live with my parents. My dad don't know that nigga and my mom well she lives close that's my heart".
"Awe" I said smiling.
"So what about ya girl?? Do I have to worry about her"?
He shook his head no and Chuckled "If I had a girl do you think I would be out here with you this late".
I stared at him with a smile "Don't steal my line".
"I'm just tryna be like you that's all" he said, I laughed.
"Nah but forreal I don't have no girl honestly I do have friends but no girl. When I finally get a girl them friends will be cut off with no hesitation" he said.
I stared in his light brown eyes and I knew he was telling the truth I felt like I could trust him.
He licked them sexy full lips and stared at me. He moved a piece a hair out of my face "You so gorgeous yo I swear".
His touch instantly send chills through my body. I didn't understand, King could have any girl in the world, but here he was standing in front of me. King was definitely a gift from God, from the his attractive looks down to his personality.
"Thank you king" I blushed.
He chuckled "You wanna know something else"?
I raised my eyebrows and stared deep in his eyes "What's that"?
"One day... One day you gonna be my wife" he said making me blush harder.
"Oh forreal?? How you know that"?
"Cause I know these things. I can see in the future you gonna be my Queen" he said licking his sexy lips again.
"Ya Queen"? I asked shocked as one of my eye brows rose.
"Yeah... They don't call me King for nothing" he chuckled.
"Oh ok well don't fill my head up King" I said taking a deep breath and looking away. I was use to the hurt and pain from a man that I didn't want and all I wanted to do was be rescued, not brought down even more.
He gently grabbed my face and made me face him "I'm forreal you'll see".

We talked for hours about everything and anything. It was the first time someone had took time for me or even made me feel special. I just hoped this wasn't gonna be a mistake getting to know him.
