|| She Knows: A Chresanto August Story ||

Chapter Six

Later on that night...

Chresanto's Pov

I punched the wall, yelling, and cursing at my self, over and over. I did the one thing, I said I would never do. I immediately glanced over at the pills and threw them across the room, hearing the bottle unsnap. How could she possibly love me after that? I'm a monster. The whole argument replayed in my head over and over. The image of her bruised face flashed across my brain like a billboard. I can't sleep knowing that I've done such a horrible thing.

I can't believe I...I hit her.

Raylinn's Pov

I sat at the kitchen table holding some frozen broccoli to my face. I didn't think anybody was awake, so i was caught offguard when my mom walked in.

"Why the hell you got broccoli on yo' face child?" My mom stood in front of me with her hands on her hips. "That's four dollars worth of broccoli that you're wasting."

"Mom chill, we can still eat it."

"I don't want them now. After you went and put your face all up on the food? No thank you!"

I rolled my eyes.

"Roll your eyes again little girl and I'll pop 'em out your head. Now what happen?"

"I uh fell off the bus."

"How did you fall off the bus?" She asked.

"I don't know. My foot just kind of...ya know...slipped under the bus and I got stuck and the bus kept going, and then..."

"Your a bad liar Raylinn. Did that boy hit you?"

I didn't reply.

"What's his name? Crescent? Chretanso? Christo?" She stuttered

"Its Chresanto. And I'm fine."

"Whatever...since you don't want to tell your mom what happen..." She walked out the room with her hands in surrender.

I put the broccoli down and sighed. At least I don't have to hide my face anymore. I heard my phone ringing, so I ran upstairs to answer it. I looked at the caller ID seeing Rayan's name flash across the screen. I decided to answer it, since I was already awake.

"Hey." I said.

"Hey pretty girl. What are you doing?" I blushed at his comment. Rayan was always flirting.

"Nothing, just laying down." I sighed.

"Without me? Come on." I heard him chuckle on the other end of the line.

"Rayan do you know what time it is?"

"You know you like talking to me, but uh do you want to hang out tomorrow?"

"Uh sure. Where, and what time?"

"Be ready by noon, and I'll swing by and come get you."

"Alright. Goodnight Rayan."

"Goodnight Bae."

Bae. Rayan just called me his bae. As much as I want to jump up and down and shit, I'm not going to. I just broke up with Chresanto. It hasn't even been 24 hours and this nigga is already trying to cuff me.

I feel like a hoe...

I sat on the couch with Rayan. He was all stretched out across the couch and he had his head in my lap. I played with his braids, as he continued to watch the game.

"Raylinn." Rayan looked up at me.

"Huh?"

"You are really pretty." I bit my lip to keep from smiling. He knew what he was doing to me.

"Oh really?" I asked messing with him.

"Naw don't do that shit." He sat up laughing.

"I'm just playing Rayan chill."

"I know Ma, I was too. But what do you wanna do today? Its all about you."

"I don't know. How 'bout we go eat or something?"

"How 'bout you stay and ride this DICK." He mumbled. I almost choked.

"What?" I asked with my eyes wide open.

"Nothing. Where do you wanna eat at?" He tried to play it off, but I heard exactly what he said.

"Wherever you choose is fine." I got up from the couch stretching.

"Do you have gas money?"

"Nigga what the fuck do I look like?"

"I'm just asking, because you know you can always save money and we can just stay here and fuck for free." He pulled me back down on his lap

Well shit.

"Rayan oh my gosh. You're so nasty." I playfully hit his chest.

"But you love it though." He spoke softly in my ear.

"Whatever." I said smiling. He chuckled and I felt his chest vibrate.

I was all calm and relaxed until I remembered that I had school.

"Dang. Rayan I gotta go. We have school tomorrow."

"I know."

"Rayan. Come on I gotta go."

"Just stay a little longer." He pleaded.

"Alright."

Rayan's Pov

It wasn't long before Raylinn fell asleep. I picked her up and carried her to my bedroom, laying her down on the bed. I went downstairs and turned the lights and the tv off, before climbing into bed with Raylinn so she wouldn't wake up lost.

I can treat her so much better than Chresanto. I just know it.

Feedback please! Thanks Loves.
