CIARA ARMANI LOVE | CICI
"MA, when have we ever spent Thanksgiving with you? We either go to our friends house or out to eat because you don't cook. It shouldn't be a problem that I spent Thanksgiving with my boyfriend." CiCi explains as she closing the bathroom door behind her, sitting on top of the counter.
The clock had just struck 6AM and Gabrielle was already on her bullshit. She'd thrown a tantrum about CiCi going to Sage's parents house, claiming she wasn't "family oriented". It didn't make sense to the teenager because Ron went with V peoples every year and Candy would go with her godmother. She didn't understand why he wasn't getting this same phone call— this early at that.
"The problem is you going around the world with this nigga and I have yet to meet him. He done been around Candy, I'm pretty sure he's been in my house—"
"He hasn't. And you didn't even meet V until after the two Thanksgiving she spent with Ron."
"Don't matter! Boys and girls are completely different. Ion know what the hell his motive could be."
She was just afraid that Sage was bringing her daughter out of her hypnosis. CiCi was barely even home, Ron was barely home, and Candy was always cooped up in her room or with one of her siblings and that scared Gabrielle. She wouldn't get the chance to manipulate their mind anymore and that scared her.
"How long y'all been with each other any damn way?" Gabrielle asks.
"We've been together for five and a half months, counting the two months we knew each."
"So y'all been a couple for five months?" CiCi hums, "Y'all been fucking?"
"Bye mama." She shakes her head as she hangs up the phone. The calls continued to come through but she didn't care, she was tired.
Walking back into the dark bedroom, she could see Sage's body leant up against the headboard and barely fighting his sleep. He always woke up when he felt changes in his environment; CiCi was always in his environments.
She crawls into his arms, laying her head on his chest. The feeling of her body pressed against his causes his eyes to open and his arms wraps around her waist. He flips her onto her back, laying his head on her stomach.
"We'll go over there today and we can meet her, aight? Don't stress." Sage mutters, hearing her light sniffing prompting him to kiss her tears away. He would've ate her out to make her feel better but his body wasn't functioning properly right now.
"Okay," She nods before turning her head so he could kiss her lips.
"My breath stank." He mutters as he continues to peck her lips.
"I don't care." She shrugs.
Sage hums as he pulls away from their repeated pecks to lay back on her stomach. Wanting to be skin to skin, he lifts his shirt that she was currently wearing up and tucks his head under it. His hands caress her thighs as his mouth closed around her nipples.
"You do not gotta be all up on me like this." She laughs even though she loved every minute of it. The main reason she slept in his shirts and panties was because of the easy access he had to touch her.
"Yes, I do. I'm really gonna find a way for me to live in your skin. Just wait."

"Ma!" Ciara called out as she walks into the quiet house, Sage following behind.
Realizing it was too quiet, she jolted up the stairs. Looking into Candy's room first, the sight in front of her cause her eyes to bulge out of her head.
A man was on top of Candy, tugging her jeans off of her helpless frame. It looked as if she was sleep but her eyes were open meaning the man on top of her had to drug her, or maybe even the women sitting on the pink bean bag in the corner of the room.
"Oh my god! Get off of her, the hell is wrong witchu?" CiCi screeched, pushing the buff man off of her little sister.
Gabrielle's eyes widened when she noticed who'd just stopped her from making her money. The attempt to sell her innocent daughters virginity for some dope had just backfired on her, majorly.
"Man, who the fuck is you?" The man barked as he shoved his scrawny dick back into his pants.
"Bricks, just go. Please!" The so-called "mother" pleaded to the pedophile.
"I want my fuckin' money, G!" Bricks sneered as he walked out the room, bumping into Sage on the way down.
He instantly turned into a coward under the young boys gaze. He knew who Sage was and who his pops was too. He wasn't good with Sling and had been talking hot when he got word that Sling was in the hospital. Now that he was out and better, Bricks had been ducking action.
"Wassup? You good?" Sage asked the dude as he pulled the tool from off his hip.
"I'm- I'm good." Bricks stuttered, keeping his eyes everywhere but on Sage.
"Yeah? You sure?" The younger boy smirked before pistol whipping Bricks upside his head, causing him to fall onto the floor, now unconscious.
Meanwhile, CiCi was sending blows to her mothers face. Anger clouded her vision and all she could do was react. Grabbing the back of Gabrielle's head, she slammed her face first onto the white vanity then threw her into the wall. Her chest heaved up and down as she watched her mother slide down the buster wall, cries of sorrow leaving her bleeding mouth.
"Why? Why would you do that to her? Wh-" CiCi couldn't even get her words out due to tears getting caught in her throat.
She broke down crying, grabbing her sisters fragile body. Placing to fingers against her neck to check her pulse, her heart skipped a beat when she felt the blood coursing through her veins.
Sage walked into the room, visibly shocked at the sight in front of him. A women was apologizing to her daughter with blood dripping from all parts of her body while two daughters sat on the floor, wrapped up in each others arms.
"Baby, what happened?" He crouched down next to her. All she had to do was look at him with those eyes he fell in love with and that was enough for him to understand her mom had gotten into some shit she couldn't get out of.
"Say the word and I'll handle it."
"I don't wan-na tell you to kill anyone but- but, I don't know what to- to do Sage." She hiccuped, looking at her sisters lifeless eyes as snot ran past her lips and tears clouded her sight.
"Ciara, look at me." He sternly coached her, holding her chin in his hand firmly. "Yes or no?"
She knew what this meant and she knew how much of a load this could take off her shoulders. Killing the very women that gave her life wasn't something she ever seen coming, neither was a man getting ready to take her sister's innocence. But if she had to make that choice, she'd always choose: "Yes."
"Then it's handled." Sage mutters, kissing both of their foreheads.
He was going to play this smart and beat Gabrielle at her own game. If she wanted to be a dope feigning ass bitch, then he was going to make her one. However, her first dose would also be her last.
