"Zahir, put your coat on now. If you have to be told again it'll be by your father." Cassia spoke sternly, her eyes peering out of the back window of her car to see Cepheus speeding into the parking lot. Glancing down, she raised an eyebrow at Zahir who remained seated with a pout on his face and his arms crossed. Blowing a breath out, Cassia didn't have the time or the patience to deal with him.
They were at a school event for Crystal, the rescheduled Winter Concert due to the first one getting snowed out. Zahir was supposed to do something with his class, but it was too hard for him to focus long enough during the rehearsals to pick up on what the class was doing. So Cassia felt it would be best to just have him not doing it, knowing he would get frustrated with himself.
"Chyus-."
"No!" He yelled, startling Christian who began to squirm and whine. Reaching back, Cassia popped his pacifier into his mouth just as Cepheus was getting out of his car to get into hers. They were a little early, but Crystal wanted them to be so she could see them before going in.
"Cold as a bitch out there, I was ready to turn around soon as I walked out that damn house." Cepheus cursed, zipping his puffer coat all the way up. Leaning over, Cassia gave him 2 pecks before sitting back in her seat.
"Freezing cold and your son refuses to put his coat on." Finally looking back at the kids in the backseat, Cepheus leaned over to give Camree a kiss on her forehead, before placing his attention on Zahir.
"Put your arms in the coat, and hurry up before I put them in for you. And I know you don't want that." Cepheus raised an eyebrow seeing Zahir begin to kick his feet in a tantrum. Taking a deep breath, Cassia lowered her head onto the steering wheel, having no energy to deal with Zahir's tantrums.
Reaching over, Cepheus grabbed Zahir' iPad from off of his lap to place in his own, only enhancing the tantrum of their son. "You take Camree and Christian while I talk to him for a second. We'll meet y'all in there." Cepheus tapped Cassia who glanced up at him with a weird expression.
"Okay...but don't be too mean to him, he's just-."
"He's just too damn old to be carrying on like he's his brother's age. Go ahead, his stroller in the back of my car." Cepheus said, handing a reluctant Cassia his key. Letting out a deep sigh, she hesitantly nodded while taking it, before doing a once-over on herself one more time. She fixed her hair and her shades, while adjusting her white fur coat.
"Camree, let's go inside baby- oh and your momma said to text her back before she cuts off your service." Cassia read off the message while looking at Camree through the rearview mirror. Sucking his teeth, Cepheus glanced back to see Camree staring down at her phone with her thumbs moving rapidly.
"Man Mariah ass ain't gon do shit, type smd and send it to your momma." Cepheus snickered at the thought, knowing Mariah would freak out if she seen it.
