Stone's Diary: Kairo

Chapter 48.) Bound

With the younger kids and teenagers dancing, the adults mingling and laughing it up, Renae and King were sitting at their table enjoying the content view and talking amongst themselves as T.O.K. Gal You Ah Lead, played through the speakers with the tiles on the dance floor lighting up. King was a bit ready to go ahead and pile onto the jet and dip out the country but he would admit that seeing his family full of so much joy was a sight worth viewing. Across the venue sat Kelly and her father. They were nervous when they first arrived but seeing how well the family mashed together so lively, they felt more comfortable being there.

"Kellz?"

Glancing up from her plate, Kelly looked toward Kairo and smiled, "Hiii."

"Sup, Mr. H, you lookin' all clean," Kairo grinned and Yonas laughed looking over the expensive attire that Kelly convinced him into buying.

"Thank you, son, you look nice as well," he stood and embraced Kairo.

"I came over because I wanted to introduce y'all to my crazy parents... my sisters are already plotting but I want y'all to meet my creators first," Kairo chuckled catching the twins eyeing him.

Kelly glanced at her father and stood slowly, "Ready?"

Yonas fixed his tie and nodded, "Let's do it."

On the other side of the venue, King hand one hand on Renae's thigh as he toyed with his band with the other. Part of him wanted to go and have another sitdown with his mom but he knew it would just trigger another one of his episodes and things were going fine thus far. He just couldn't shake the feeling that he felt as if he deserved more than what she gave him. He didn't want to seem as if he were holding a grudge or being ungrateful but he wasn't even remotely fine with how things were but he was forcing himself to focus on other things that mattered.

"Babeee," the excitement was laced in Renae's voice as she smiled at Kelly.

Tearing his eyes from the dance floor, King glanced at Renae then ahead and smirked as Kairo approached the table with Kelly and her father.

"Now look," Kairo began and Renae and King laughed. "I told 'em y'all a bit... whew, so make a lie out of me."

Renae and King stood. Yonas was a bit stunned at how tall King was compared to his 5'9 height.

"Kingston," King extended his hand to Yonas, who happily shook it.

"Yonas."

"Dis is my wife, Renae," King glanced at Renae and she smiled.

"Nice to meet you, your daughter is gorgeous."

Kelly blushed, "Thank you."

Kairo stood to the side impressed before he turned to his curious sisters and motioned for them to come over and they wasted no time rushing over. . .

"You're a doctor?" King queried, staring at Yonas as they had their conversation on the side while Renae and the girls carried on another with Kelly.

"Yes, a neurosurgeon," Yonas answered, "What kind of business do you do?"

King chuckled, "I do a bit of everything... if I'm being honest."

Yonas nodded impressed and scooted his chair over some- he respected a black man with multiple streams of income. "If you don't mind, what do you do?"

"I move drugs for tha' white man," King replied with a blank expression and Yonas just blinked.

"Oh... ok, well nothing wrong with that," Yonas rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly and King busted out laughing.
