“Jail?” he asked, swinging around to glare at me.

“Yeah.” I dropped my eyes to my feet. “KD bailed me out.”

“Fuck you went to jail for, Sage?” my dad roared.

“Breaking and entering and vandalism, I think. She was calling and sending me pictures of them in bed and showing off their new house, and I just lost it. I went and tore up his trophy room with a fire poker. She called the cops on me, and Jaylen just stood there like a bitch. I called Klever to get me out.”

“Are you two really married?” Sebastian asked.

A few seconds of silence was enough of an answer to get him moving in KD’s direction. I held my hands up to stop him as I jumped in front of him.

“Daddy, no.”

“Yes, we really are married, Sebastian,” KD clarified as if it was needed at this point. His confession only seemed to add fuel to the fire.

“What the fuck?” Bash growled.

“It was a long time ago. Way back when she found out that she was pregnant with JJ. She was terrified to tell you, and Jaylen tried to make her get rid of him. I wanted to take care of her and show her that I was the man for her. I loved her. Iloveher.”

“Boy, you know I should kill you three times for taking my baby without my permission. I was never gon’ let JaylenJackson’s bitch ass marry her, and he knew it too. All you had to do was man the fuck up and come to me.”

“I know, man, but you know how I feel about her,” KD said, pulling me to his side. “I can take care of her, Bash. He left her high and dry, B. That fuck-ass nigga is trying to sell the dance studio right from under her and move on with Becky like Sage ain’t a whole fucking trophy. I know I didn’t come to you right, but I’m coming to you right now. I love your daughter to death, and I’m going to make her happy for the rest of her life, if she lets me.”

My eyes stayed on Sebastian, even though KD had a tight grip on my waist. Sebastian chuckled and shook his head as he plopped back down in his seat.

“Go ahead and do what you were about to do, baby girl. Sit down, son. I’m not all that fucked up about you being with her. You think I don’t see the way you look at my baby? I know you love her. I’m just a little thrown off after being blindsided with this news, then I come over here to talk to her and hear y’all fucking like rabid dogs. I can’t believe her mean ass called you sir. I don’t even want to start unpacking that, ever. In fact, I’ll probably drink myself to sleep for the rest of the week. I’m not gon’ kill you though. That’s a lot more than I can say for Supreme.”

“Let me tell him, Bash,” KD requested.

“Have at it. You just better not let Jaylen’s soft ass get to him first.”

KD

Awhole day after Sebastian caught us having sex in her old bedroom, Sage was still in her head about us. On the other hand, I felt better than ever because the cat was finally out of the bag. Well, for the most part. The most important thing about it was I finally had my girl once and for all.

Now I just had to secure her studio and tell Supreme about us. One of those things would be easier than the other. Choosing the easy part first, I gathered up the paperwork for her dance studio. Somehow, that bitch had the paperwork switched to have him as the owner. I wasn’t going to assume it was a careless mistake. He’d done that shit on purpose. It didn’t matter. I was going to make it right. I already had the forms to fix it.

I found Sage in the spare bedroom stretching. It wasn’t huge, but it was completely empty, giving her room to dance. I leaned against the doorframe, watching as she walked over and picked up her phone. Once her phone was in her hand, she noticed me and smiled.

“Hey, beautiful. How are you feeling?”

“Much better now. Thank you again. Imagine that you used to get on my nerves always knowing what to say,” she said,referring to me helping her draft an email to the parents of the kids who attended her studio.

“That’s just because you’re a big hater.”

“Be that as it may, I fully accept the fact that I love your black ass. I just hope my brother doesn’t kill you before I get to show you just how much,” she joked.

“Just in case I don’t have much time left, dance for me for old times’ sake.”

“K, I don’t really dance like that anymore.”

“Dance like what? You’re just dancing for your man.”

A soft smile played on her lips as she shook her head and looked down at her phone. “Only because you’re so good to me, and I know I’ll never be able to repay you for always showing up for me.”

I shrugged. “Whatever it takes.”
