The Come Up

Chapter Seventeen

August's POV

I was chilling, in the hotel room when my phone vibrated. I picked my phone up and saw that Jasmin sent me a message. I opened the message and it was a picture of the food, with her address underneath. I got up from the bed and walked out of my room. I walked in the living room and saw J sitting with his head in his hands.

"Aye nigga, what's wrong with you?" I asked twisting my lips.

"Nothing just a lot on my mind. Where you going?" he asked sitting back on the couch.

"Bout to go chill with Jas. Don't wait up." I said walking towards the door.

"Must be nice that you get to hit something." J yelled.

"Its a wonderful feeling player." I said walking out the door.

I put the address in my GPS and found out the house wasn't far from the hotel. After a little more driving I pulled in her driveway and checked myself in the mirror before getting out the car. I walked up to her door, and knocked on it. I heard shuffling, and her door opened.

"Hey you" she said stepping back and opening the door wider.

I walked in and, looked around. She shut the door, and walked in front of me.

"What's poppin" I asked staring at her.

She shook her head and walked off. I followed her to her dining room and sat down in a chair.

"I'll be back." she said disappearing.

I heard plates clinking in the kitchen and I got excited. She came back out with two plates. She sat a plate down, in front of me and the other down at the other end of the table.

"Dig in" she said having a seat.

I looked at her then at my food. She looked up at me with salad dressing on the side of her mouth.

"What?" she asked laughing.

"Did you spit in this, or put anything extra in it?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"Aha why would I do that?" she asked laughing.

"I don't know?" I said taking the fork and cutting a piece of the pork steak.

I put the piece in my mouth, and melted. It was well seasoned, and it was juicy. After eating dinner she took our plates in the kitchen and came back out and sat down.

"A good ass dinner and no dessert?" I asked staring her down.

She got up once again, and walked to the kitchen. She came out of the kitchen with some cake.

"Try it" she said setting it down in front of me. 

I picked the fork up and dug into the cake. It had pineapples on top of it so I got some of those. I put the fork in my mouth, taking the cake off.

"That's good. What is it?" I asked.

"Its pineapple cheesecake" she said smiling.

I finished the cake, and followed Jasmin to her living room.

"Are you going to give me a tour of your house?" I asked standing in the doorway.

She nodded and stood back up. She showed me around the living room. We went past the dining room, and to the kitchen.

"Okay this is my beautiful kitchen. Now if you'll follow me, I'll take you to the master bed and guest room." she said going up some stairs in the kitchen. "This is the bathroom" she said opening a door. The bathroom was nice. We walked out and closed on the door. "This here is the guest room, where you would be sleeping if you spent a night." she said laughing.

"Why can't I sleep in the same room as you?" I asked pulling her to me.

"That there is a no-no. I'm sure you got some chicks who'll let you sleep in they bed." she said smirking.

"You right. I think I'll call one tonight." I said walking out the room.

"Yeah, okay" she said coming out as well.

We walked down a little further and she opened the door to a dope room.

"And this is where the magic happens." she said mocking the people on MTV Cribs.

"What you mean magic?" I asker stepping back to look at her.

She rolled her eyes and showed me the, bathroom in her room. I liked the house but I was just ready for her to get to back to the bedroom. She turned the light out and walked to the bed. She crawled up on it and laid down. I smirked knowing what I was about to do. I kicked my shoes off and climbed on top of her on the bed. I started kissing her neck, as she moaned. She flipped us, so she was on top. She began kissing me on my neck, and I squeezed her ass. She kissed one last time before getting up and running out of the room. I smacked my lips, and got off the bed. I snatched my shoes up and put them back on. I walked out of the room and downstairs.

"You wrong for that" I said laughing.

"I love you, but you got to go." she said walking towards the door.

"You got company coming or something?" I asked getting mad.

"Maybe" she said sticking her tongue out and licking her lips.

I looked at her without saying a word. I pushed her against the wall and smashed my lips against hers. She put her hands against my chest and pushed me away.

"Bye August" she smiled opening the door.

I nodded my head and walked out the door. She closed the door behind me and I  thought of who could be with my baby.

Arika's POV

Jermaine sounded pissed when I talked to him earlier. He probably thought I was messing around with another man, but that's not the case. I was packing my suitcase for the little trip I'm taking to New York to surprise him. I carried the two bags downstairs and set them by the front door. I was hungry so I went in the kitchen to fix a sandwich. The doorbell rung as I placed the salami on the bread. I ran to the door not looking in the peephole I swung the door open.

"What are you doing here?" I asked panicking.

Cece's POV

I'm very excited to see Michael. I think I'm ready now. I want to give it to him.
