As She Sat [August Alsina]

Chp. 8

* TRIGGER WARNING * : This chapter I talk about domestic abuse that may be touchy to some people. I do say read with caution.

"Look.. Babe, what you think of this?" Kia asked Chris over facetime. "Look . . . You not looking" she started to get mad.

"I am. Hold on. You don't want me to wreck, do it?" He chuckled. As soon as he got the chance to stop, he looked. "Oh fuck yeah. When you gone put it on for me?"

"I picked it up today. Me and Yas went shopping. BUT whenever you deserve it."

"I heard she stayed with Yung last night. What's going on with that?"

"I don't know but she said they just friends. And I know her so I just left it that." Kia said cautiously while putting away the things she purchased.

Chris noticed the looks that August and Yasmin exchange whenever they are at the office but he didn't pay it no mind until finding out about her staying the night. "Oh aight. I was just asking. But look, I'm bout to walk into with meeting and I'll talk to you later. I need you . to be . at home . TONIGHT!" He broke down his sentence.. eyeing her.

Kia laughed and rolled her eyes. "I babysit one night and act like I'll never be home again."

"Because we could be at home doing something and make someone." He winked at her. Kia did not want this conversation with Chris and definitely not now.

"Yeah I hear you baby. I love you. Now, go get in your meeting before you late."

"Never late if I'm the boss, baby. I love you too and remember what I said."

Kia smiled and hung up. Sadly, her memories of the past crept up on her quicker than she wanted them to. Because four days from now, will be the day 3 years ago that she lost her first child. She hadn't told Chris yet because she didn't want her wounds to be too much for him. Truthfully, she was scared to have any at all after that.

*TRIGGER WARNING*

Kia had just turned 18 and was celebrating by going to a club with a group of friends including Yas, who had came into town. The night was filled with laughter, dancing, and photos. Devin, her boyfriend, ran across her and another dude talking. Her and guy had been friends a long time and he was just chopping it up to say happy birthday.

Devin was pissed! Of course, he played it smooth in front of everyone, but as soon as he got her back to his house . . . He choked her until she was on the brim of unconsciousness. He never left any physical marks on her if he could help it.

"Stop fucking running!" he shouted pulling her hair.

"Owwww! Stooopppp! Please!" Kia begged as he threw her on the ground; choking her causing her to fade in and out.

"Oww. Stooppp. Please." he mocked; tightening his grip a little.

"Baby. Baby! De-Devin." She gasped for breathe. "I am sorry. Let me go... please... I'll do whatever, just stop."

He let her go and looked at her while she laid there rubbing her neck. After Kia caught her breathe, she looked at Devin to see he was laying on the bed with his arm folded behind his head waiting. She got up and climbed on top of him. Caressed his face leaning in to kiss him. Devin demanded room to insert his tongue. Kia broke the kiss so she could wiggle back to unbuckle his pants. Sometimes sex satisfied him and calmed his anger. When they finished, well... when he finished, she instantly sped off to the bathroom.
