I nodded slowly, taking in the city and all it had to offer. It was proving to be a lot. Too much.

Chapter 2: Teacher’s Pet Part Two

Devyn’s POV

Part One

K3: None of your nails broke, right? I can’t take my baby looking raggedy, now.

Cassie cackled.

Cassie: Baby, my nails are all perfect.

K3: It’s been two weeks yet?

Cassie: Almost, but not yet.

K3: Man-Man brought your groceries on time?

Cassie: Yeah! AND TELL THAT BIG HEADED MOTHAFUCKA TO STAY OUT MY MOTHAFUCKIN BUSINESS, ON MY GRANNY!

K3 started cracking up.

K3: Ouuuuu, Cassie! I miss your smart mouth ass cussing out me and everyone else around you.

Cassie: You miss my mouth you said?

K3: Don’t get me started, Cassandra. I’ll put my tongue through this mothafucking phone like Freddy. Matter fact, where you at? When can you FaceTime my other phone and put that PWUSSY on er!

Cassie cackled, swerving the car slightly.

We were waiting in the median to turn into the back of a very nice looking building. It was big, luxurious, and only had The Ninth across the top. Nothing else signaling what it may be or what it entails.

K3: I’m just playing, my love. You know I miss Cassandra and not just that pussy.

Cassie sighed.

Cassie: I know. Kenzo, I love you, my baby. This shit has never gotten easier. Deddy, I hate it out here without you!

Tears started flowing from her cheeks.

I would feel even the smallest bit of sympathy if it wasn’t for me realizing where we were. I watched the other employees run to their car and back to the building. My head fell back onto the seat. All I could do was puff my cheeks, rubbing my face slowly.

K3: I know it hasn’t been easy for you, Crybaby. You know I think about you every single minute of every day. We’ve made it so far. We’ve gone through years. We’re almost there, Cassie. I’ll do everything I can to never leave you again. That’s my only regret from everything that happened. Jeopardizing our life together.

Cassie: Tell me you love me, K3.

K3: There’s no amount of words or languages that could explain how much I love you. But I love you. And you know that.

Cassie: I do. I love you, Kenzo. I’m to my first face. It’ll be all night, so I’ll have to speak to you in the morning.

K3: You know I hate not telling you good night, Cassandra. I gotta wait until the morning to see if you okay?!

Cassie: I know but I gotta do this. For me...

K3: Bye, Cassie. Stay safe. Don’t do anything I’d have to kick yo ass over, shorty.

She chuckled.
