Omniscient"Cassia, what the hell is taking you so damn- oh...wow." Cepheus stopped himself in his tracks almost instantly, once his eyes landed on her body from behind. Turning to look at him, Cassia brushed down the last bit of her hair with a slight frantic look on her face.
"Is this too much, should I go change, I never wore this before and Jamila got it for me on Christmas, but you know I've never worn this type of stuff and I-." Cutting her off, Cepheus pulled her body into his by her arm before pressing his lips down onto her own, just to shut her up because she was panicking over nothing.
"You look perfect." He mumbled, his right hand interlocking with her left as he took a step back to drink her in. He knew she was stepping completely out of her comfort zone, but he didn't want her to stress about it because he was being honest when he said she looked perfect.
"But I'm nearly naked, you can see everything...you don't think that's a little disrespectful to you?" She asked nervously, being raised in such a strict household, some of those teachings were still engraved in her. Furrowing his eyebrows, Cepheus adjusted his elbow length sleeves of his blazer before fixing his dark shades that covered his eyes.
"How is your outfit disrespecting me? We ain't even together for one, and if we was then you wouldn't be disrespecting me unless you started getting friendly with another nigga. Motherfuckers gon look either way, so why not give em something to look at. Who you going home with at the end of the night?" He raised an eyebrow, picking his brush up to brush down the sides of his hair.
"...You"
"Exactly. Ion like when you do that, do what makes you happy. From day 1 I told you I ain't one of them niggas, I already know what's mine." He shrugged, placing the brush down just as Zahir came running into the room.
"I'm ready!" He smiled, his backpack on his back and shoes on to go by Jamila's mom. Smiling down at him, Cassia leaned down to give him a small kiss on his forehead.
"Such a big boy, now I need you to go make sure Crystal and Christian are ready while I talk to daddy for a second." Nodding his head, Zahir turned and zoomed out of their room the same way, Cassia closing the door behind him before placing her attention on Cepheus who was already looking at her. Walking up towards him, she wrapped her arms around his neck while staring up at him. "I love you so much." She whispered, though he still heard her.
Leaning down to give her another kiss, he placed his right hand on the small of her back comfortably. "I love you more, but we got to go before niggas miss the countdown and shit, it's already 10:30." Furrowing her eyebrows, Cassia detached her arms from around him while watching him fix his white button down shirt that was under his black blazer.
