my pov

i wake up to August not laying next to me. i stand up to make sure i can walk. everything seems normal. only one thing. i walk in the bathroom and look in the mirror. i got about 3 huge hickeys on my neck.

me"fuck!" I get irritated

i would rather him do this though, instead of raping me. i cover it up with my wig. i open up the door and walk into the kitchen. everybody is at the table eating. August is talking to Oscar by the sink. when i walk in, all eyes are on me and everybody's jaw is dropped.

me"umm?" I say awkwardly
tasha"g-gg-good morning."
me"morning."
august"what ya all starin fa? say good mornin."
everybody"good morning."

Tasha pulls me off to the side, everyone continues doing their thing.

tasha"girl. why you wearing Aug's shirt?" She smirks
me"he let me borrow it."
tasha"what exactly happened last night?"

i give her a brief run down, of last night.

me"and then i woke up with these." I show her my neck
tasha"no fucking way!" She slaps my arm "i have no words." She gets excited
me"calm down bitch." I rub my arm
tasha"stop talking to me, needa be over there talking to yo man." She sits back down at the table

here goes nothing.

me"good morning."
august"mornin." He smirks "ya seen tha surprise i left on ya neck?"
me"yeah."
august"why ya coverin it up?" He pushes my hair back
me"August-"
camila"look!" She points

everybody looks at me.

camila"she got a hickey on her neck!"

i just stand there frozen.

august"shut tha hell up."
camila"no!" She mean mugs August "who gave that to you?" She starts walking towards me
me"it's pretty obvious now." I catch an attitude
camila"you slut!" She starts hitting me

i cover my face, blocking her hits.

august"ayee! ayee! ayee! Oscar! get ha outta hea."

Oscar grabs Camila and takes her somewhere.

august"ya alright?"
me"yeah."
august"everybody in tha livin room."

we all sit down in the living room.

august"today, ain't shit planned. so look at dis as a free day. ya got permission ta go anywhea in tha house except ma room and eachotha's rooms. got it?"
everybody"yes sir."
august"now get out ma face." He dismisses us
me"i needa get my clothes out your room."
august"hurry up den."

i transfer all my stuff from his room, to mine. i decided to hang with Stacie instead of Tasha. there's a workout room in the house, so we workout and have girl talk. right now we're doing squats.

me"so what's up with you?"
stacie"oh, nothing."
me"how long have you been in here?"
stacie"my whole life practically."
me"that's a joke right?" I laugh
stacie"nope. been in here since i was 5. lost my virginity at 6. pregnant at 11, and had an abortion."
me"woah." I stop squatting "so how do you do it?"
stacie"well, after i had my abortion i looked at life differently. i saw how shitty i was living so i figured i was meant to be in here and i adapted to this environment."
me"i'm so sorry."
stacie"don't be. look where i am now. wearing designer clothes and having great sex." She laughs
me"but you're selling your body."
stacie"eh. what good do i know?" She shrugs her shoulders

i continue squatting.

tasha pov

Kimbella is working out with Stacie right now. i don't like that trick ass hoe so imma see what's really going on with her. i know Aug said that we can't go into each others rooms but imma do this undercover. i make sure Camila isn't in the room. i sneak into her room and look around for stuff, anything that might be suspicious. i walk over to her bed and i find something under her pillow. it's a pregnancy test that says positive. i take the evidence back to my room.

my pov

me"well that was a good workout."
stacie"yeah. August coming." She looks from a distance
august"what ya up ta?"
stacie"working out."
august"what workouts?"
stacie"squats."
august"Kimbella don't needa do no squats." He smirks

i just smile and nod.

august"give us a min Stacie."
stacie"yes sir." She walks out
august"why ya so quiet?"
me"why you so bipolar?"
august"what ya mean?" He chuckles
me"one minute you fucking with me, and the next you dubbing me."
august"babygirl" He laughs "that's how Aug operate." He holds my chin up
me"don't touch me." I move his hand
august"who tha fuck ya think ya talkin ta? ya livin in ma house."
me"because i have no choice!"
august"alright. ya can go back home. workin at panda express. livin from paycheck ta paycheck. wit ya dead momma and ya crackhead daddy."

i start crying and run out of the workout room, i run upstairs to my room and cry in my bed. i cry for a good 3 minutes until i stop.

tasha"oh my gosh, what happened?!" She opens the door and runs over to me
me"August." I cry
tasha"what he do?!" She comforts me
me"he talked bad about my mom and dad."
tasha"hell no. that's disrespectful, don't give him no type of attention and keep your head high. you know you're better than that."
me"i do." I toughen up "ian gon let no bitch ass nigga get to my head."
tasha"that's right."

several hours later...

i thought we were supposed to be going somewhere but i guess not. so i literally put on my wig for nothing, but i'm cute so i kept it on. right now i'm stepping out the shower, i put on some pink shorts and a white crop top because i know dinner is coming soon. i wanna tease August a lil since he wanted to act like a dick earlier.

oscar"come downstairs for dinner."
me"on our way." I speak into the intercom
tasha"who you exposing skin for?" She smirks
me"don't worry bout it." I blush

as we walk down the stairs, i smell something good. it smells like tacos.

me"tacos?"
oscar"you guessed it." He puts it on the table
me"mmm."

i sit down right away and start eating.

tasha"damn, slow down Kimbella."
me"it's good as shit."

August walks in the kitchen, just staring at me, like he see something he like. i decide to act out and act like i don't notice him.

me"you remember what happened earlier today?" I laugh
tasha"what happened?" She looks confused
me"c'mon, you know what i'm talking about." I wink at her and laugh
tasha"oh yeah. that!" She laughs
stacie"what happened earlier?"
tasha"mind ya business." She keeps laughing
august"Kimbella."

i laugh louder so i can ignore him.

me"bruh that was too funny!" I laugh
august"Kimbella!" He yells

everybody gets quiet.

me"yes?" I say nervously
august"get ya ass in ma room." He points

i get up slowly and walk into his room, he walks in and slams the door.

august"what tha fuck was dat?!" He walks towards me
me"what was what?"
august"don't play dumb wit me." He slaps me across my face
me"August!" I cry and hold my face
august"i tol ya ta stop tryin me on dat fuck shit and ya ass still ain't learn! ian tha one ta play wit. get out ma mothafuckin face hoe!"

i suck up my tears and go upstairs, i get in bed and pray. i end up crying myself to sleep. how could a man that "wants me" treat me like this?

- hell nah.
