"How much is that ring right there, and what is it called?" Cepheus asked, pointing to the Diamond ring that sparkled at him through the glass.

"This is our 2ct Infinity Engagement Ring, Infinity Twist Micropavé 14K Rose Gold which ranges at about $25,000." Nodding his head, Cepheus tapped his fingers up against the top of the glass with his lips twisted to the side.

"You bout to pop the question nigga?" He heard Anthony from the side of him. Turning around, he shook his head with his eyes still scanning over the rings there were under the glass.

"Nah...I mean I would, but ion think she ready for that yet so I'm not gon force nothing. Only been back for going on a month." Cepheus spoke through a yawn, beginning to grow a little frustrated because none of them were jumping out to him the way he needed it to. He didn't care about pricing, the ring could be the most expensive one in there and if he felt that was the one then he would buy it.

"Aw shit, we back in the promise ring stage huh. Real proud of y'all for making it here, cause lord knows a nigga was starting to get stressed out..." Anthony trailed off, running his hand down his face from reminiscing on the way things just weren't looking up for them.

From all the drama with Crystal being stabbed, to Solana and Ryan, it was a lot. But he knew he should've known better than to think they would ever officially be over, especially not while Cepheus' entire heart was in it. He could say sweet things along the lines of just wanting to see Cassia happy, but everyone knew that really only meant if she was happy with him.

"If you don't see one that jumps out to you, you can customize one that we can make today and you pick up tomorrow. But you would have to pay the extra for the 1 day making, because we don't usually do that-."

"That's fine, I'll customize it." He nodded his head, since he wasn't liking anything else they had. Telling them to give her a second, the jeweler made her way to the back of the store to grab everything she would need. Nodding his head, Cepheus leaned up against the glass facing Anthony. "Surprised you ain't picking no ring out, thought this would've been the year you and Mila tied the knot."

Chuckling, Anthony placed his hat over his head while taking the seat closest to him. "Nah, we don't want to get married to be honest. And if we ever did change our minds, we would just go to the courts and shit. But don't nobody give a fuck bout them papers forreal." He waved off, leaning back in his seat a little bit.

"So you telling me there's a possibility Imma be a husband to somebody before you...?" Cepheus raised an eyebrow, the words leaving his mouth not even sounding right.

He always admired Jamila and Anthony's relationship, mainly because he never thought he would be able to have that a day in his life. He knew they went through their shit, but other than that they were so peaceful and put together from what he could see. They never had excessive fights, been happy since the day they met, and it was clear as day they were more than in love.
