Living Affair

"Do you have this in a darker color?" She held up a light blue bomber with the words NYC written on it.

"Whatever you see there are all the colors, don't you think if I did, the colors would be up there?"Kacey rolled her eyes, "I...just want you to give me a reason why I shouldn't punch you in your shit?"

"Because," Ashley flip her curly mane over her shoulder looking at Kacey. "I'll press charges."

"I have a good lawyer." Kacey smirks. "What are you really here for? Cause I know for a fact you didn't come to buy anything. I don't know why security didn't stop you from coming in here, knowing we don't allow pets."

"You think you're so funny." Ashley comment as Kacey shrugs. "I've been trying to get in touch with Tiara but her phone number does not work and she blocked me on all her social media's."

"I'm sure if she was here she would definitely not want to have anything to do with you're trifling ass."

"I had a problem with you me and her were cool."

"Bitch, any problem you have with me is a problem with her. So you need to move around."

"Well where is she? I came here to see her. I thought she worked here too."

Kacey took a deep breath pinching the bridge of her nose before she looked back at Ashley."She died and now I want you to leave. So in five minutes when I walk away if you're still standing here. I will personally escort you out for stealing." And with that Kacey walked away from her with a smirk on her face.

She sees Cassandra and walks over to the register. "Everything okay?"

"Yes, everything is fine." Kacey responds as Cassandra watches her go into the register. She looks at Kacey noticing her eye.

"What happened to your eye?" She asked concerned. Kacey froze as she thought of the quickest lie she could, hoping it would sound believable. She definitely didn't want anyone in her business even though she trusted Cassandra, since she never gave her any reason not too.

"Oh," She closes the register placing a hand on her hip, "I was playing with Major with his cars and he exactly threw it and it hit me pretty hard." Kacey chuckled, "Let's just say he has a good aim."

"A toy car can give you a black eye like that?" Cassandra asks, with a raised eyebrow. She wasn't stupid and it definitely couldn't be from a toy car. Her little brother one time hit her with his car but it didn't give her nothing but a slight scratch.

"Um, yeah. You're looking at it. From any kind of hard impact actually can give you a black eye." Kacey chuckles nervously as Cassandra wasn't convinced.

"Are you sure?" Cassandra squinted her eyes with her head tilting. She wasn't believing Kacey one bit. She didn't take Montana as the abusive type but men were good at hiding their true colors.

"Yes!" Kacey exclaimed. "What are you tryna Imply?"

"Nothing at all."

"Alright, then." Kacey flashes a quick smile before she walks away.

Once Ten o'clock hit, Kacey was on her way home to her kids. She spent time talking with her mom because she walked her out. Major was busy downstairs in the living room watching tv, since he didn't want to go upstairs with his mom.

Kacey sat on her bed with Kaija in her lap as she typed on her laptop. She adjusted the glasses on her face before leaning down to kiss her daughter. Hearing the door open, she looks up seeing Montana walk in. He didn't bother to look her way as he made his way to the bed taking a seat at the edge.
