Promise

THIRTEEN.

Her hair was out, her natural hair, and slicked back low into a puff. He rarely saw her hair but he knew she had lots of it and he could tell just by the size of her puff.

"Here, Siah, what the hell you thinking about," Sadé called, snapping him back to reality where she was holding out a bag of food for him.

"You," he smirked and watched as she blushed. "Come here," he patted his lap and she raised her eyebrows.

"You finna eat, Kasiah," she pointed.

"Okay, and? Girl come here," he said again. She playfully rolled her eyes and walked over to him, sitting on his lap, keeping herself mostly to his left side, until he pulled her legs over his. She sat there, confused as to how he was going to eat—but he sat the food on her lap, and started eating.

He was so astonished as to how she made him this way so quickly. He was never the most affectionate person—sometimes he still had his moments. But ever since he first started sleeping in the bed with Kash, he'd find himself wanting it, just from her though. He accepted hugs, but he didn't like them too long, but hers could last forever he honestly wouldn't mind. Ask any of his previous girlfriends, he didn't kiss them much, he didn't like cuddling. He would even move away in his sleep.

But let Sadé tell it, he was a teddy bear. A huge baby. He liked kisses, he welcomed cuddles and he was completely still in his sleep once he grabbed a hold of her.

"It's good?" she asked, reaching her hand behind his head, slowly rubbing her thumb across the nape of his neck. He nodded and she did the same with a smile before getting back on her phone.

"Y'all too disgusting for me," Khy chuckled and Kash laughed. "Kash, your mama invited me to her baby shower," he smirked.

"Khyren, you have a girlfriend and my mama is married!" she laughed. Khy had a crush on Kash's mom since he was a kid. He always thought she was gorgeous. When she'd drop Kash off for her week at her dad's, Khy was always there showing off. Of course, he wasn't serious anymore, at least Kash would like to think since like she said—Ava and Lamarr were in the picture as well as her new sibling.

After a little while longer, Kash had to leave because Siah's break was over, so he walked her to her car. "You gon see me in like two days," he chuckled.

"That's too long," she huffed, hugging him around his torso. "You gonna call me?" she looked up at him and he nodded with a smirk. He couldn't pick her up tonight because he has Christmas shopping to do with his dad. Then the next day he was working late so he promised to take her out Saturday.

"It's gon be quick, quit allat pouting, crybaby," he said, flicking her bottom lip. "I gotta go to work, gon head and get in," he said popping her door open. She got in the car and buckled up, starting it before opening her window with her lips puckered making him laugh.

He shook his head and ducked his head into her window, kissing her lips and forehead. "Bye, Sadé before I'm late,"

"Bye, Kasiah." She mocked his voice and stuck her tongue out, switching gears to pull off.
