The One Night Stand {An August Alsina Story}

Chapter 28.

(Sebastian in the picture!)

~Sebastian~

I heard her gasp.

"Oh my gosh Sebastian!" She laughed. "Where have you been hiding?"

If only she knew...

"I been around." I chuckled to myself. "How you been?"

"Okay I guess." She sighed. "Just a lot going on lately."

"Such as?" I asked, already knowing about August.

"It's kind of a long story." Another sighed. "Are you in town cause I'd love to see you again. To catch up, ya know?"

I smiled and watched her tuck a strand of hair behind her ear.

So fucking adorable.

"Yeah I'd love too. How about tomorrow at 12? Starbucks?"

She started shaking her head and stood up pacing, and it was then I saw her baby bump.

Hm, I see she had been busy.

I smiled at her little pregnancy waddle.

"Um, actually I have something planned tomorrow. My family reunion and I have to be there so...I'm sorry maybe Monday-"

"Where is the family reunion gonna be at?" I asked, mentally slapping myself.

I thought it was next week.

"Hudson Park. Across from that new boutique on North." She sat back down on the couch and tried crossing her legs but I guess it was uncomfortable so she just laid back against the couch.

"Oh that park!" I laughed as though I didn't already know. "Nice seeing you again, Bethany."

She raised an eyebrow and looked around her living room.

"Don't you mean talking to me?"

Damn she caught that.

"That's what I meant." She laughed, said goodbye, then hung up.

I watched as she sat the phone down beside her and smiled at it.

Good to know I could still make her smile after all these years.

Once we caught up, she would forget all about August.

I chuckled as I started my car and drove away.

I wondered how lil sis was doing...

•The next day•

~August~

I opened my eyes and tried to clear my vision.

How fucked up did I get last night?

Something moved beside me and I sighed.

Oh yeah.

Damn Bethany was probably pissed at me right now.

I didn't mean to stand her up like that but when shawty showed up on my doorsteps all beat up and shit, I had to help her out.

I was gonna call B and tell her but I couldn't find my damn phone so I would just visit her later.

I looked down at T'Asia curled into my side and smiled sadly.

This girl had been through the worst.

I brushed her hair away from the bruises on her face.

She slowly opened her eyes and smiled.
