As She Sat [August Alsina]

Chp. 5

"Ouuuu. Wear this! This will make your ass sit right." Kia said pulling down a blush pink dress from the closet.

"It's too cold to be getting dressed like that. Plus I don't want him staring at my ass. More like my personality." There was so much of a DUH tone in her voice.

"That's why you have to give him blue balls and keep his attention so that he gets to know you. I'm telling you this works."

"Sure, like that works soooo well" Yas gave an eye roll then continued to find an outfit. "Here.. I'll wear these denim high waist jeans and this cropped sweater."

"So boring. At least let me beat your face. Please, even if it's just your eyebrows." Kia chuckled a bit while she plead to her.

Yasmin gave in to her cousin before warning her. "Okay. But Kia, I promise on your life if you have me out here looking stupid, this will be your last time. I don't want all that mess you do. Keep it SIMPLE!"

"Girl boo. I got you. Come on before you get dressed. Are you wearing some pumps?"

"No. I am wearing the cooper brown wedges."

Forty-five minutes passed by and Kia was putting the finishing touches on her cousin's face. Yasmin got dressed in the outfit that she choose. The jewelry involved hooped earrings and a gold watch. Her hair was in a high bun.

Yas wasn't really into the social media or instagram but she was really feeling her look so she snapped a few photos. She choose the prettiest one and captioned it "I don't step out often; but when I do, I tend to step on a few necks. 🗣💗"

She modeled in the mirror a few more times before walking in the living where Kia and Jameson were.

"Cousssiinn! You look bad as fuck. Give me body and pose." She was too excited for this moment because Yas hasn't been on a date in what seemed to be decades.

The two shared laughter while playing around about Yas pretending to walk a runway. The fun ceased when her phone rung.

"Hello?..Louis?" He didn't answer so she called his name.

"Hey. Hey. I'm downstairs." He explained.

She replied with a simple "okay" and hung up.

"Okay. He's downstairs. I'll see you later tonight. Call me if you need anything. I love y'all."

"We love you too. Go enjoy yourself. Like foreal!" Kia side eyed her.

Yasmin walked out the apartment and travel by elevator to the main floor. Once she made it outside the building, he honked his horn and waved his hand out the window to inform her where he parked. She walked to the car and got in.

In her head, she is thinking why in the hell would he hunk the horn and not get out or be standing outside the car for her. It's the least he could do. I mean he didn't have to open the door for her but something that show incentive.

"Hi Louis. How are you?" She spoke while placing her crossbody bag in her lap.

"What's up. I'm good. You look beautiful." He put the car in gear and drove off.

"Thank you. You didn't tell me how the night was going to go so I went simple." There was an awkward silence between the two. The music from the radio was low but you could still hear it.

"So I don't get a compliment on how I look?" Louis asked.

Yasmin looked at him up and down. He had a nice full beard, chocolatey skin, and nice shave. The outfit he had on was decent. Yasmin thought that his shirt was pretty tight seeing as though his arm muscles were bursting out, the pants were basic, and the shoes weren't anything special. Overall, his look screamed "I'm basic but look at me because I am strong."
