"Aw shit, I damn near forgot you still in this house with us Crystal. How you been baby?" Cepheus smiled down at her while wrapping his arms around her, Crystal instantly squirming to get out of his hold.

"Cepheus leave that child alone." Cassia snickered, knowing Crystal wanted nothing to do with her father right now.

Originally Cepheus was only going to talk to her calmly and put her on a small punishment, but that quickly altered once she began having an attitude with him. A conversation turning into an argument before Crystal ended up getting her first real whooping due to how disrespectful her mouth was getting, Cepheus also taking all of her electronics while forcing her to stay in her room all day unless she had to eat or go to school. The kitchen being the only place she was allowed to go.

"Mommy!" Crystal screamed, Cepheus' left arm wrapped around her while his right hand held her wrists together to give her face multiple kisses.

"How you mad at me cause you chose to talk to me like you ain't have no damn sense? And you lucky all I did was give you 3 with my belt and let you stay in your room for the rest, cause you had me fucked up." Cepheus pointed once finally letting her go and adjusting his hat.

"You didn't even give me a chance to explain anything-."

"What is there to explain Crystal?! I asked you if you still with that little boy after I told you I'm not having that shit, and you out your own mouth told me you was. I don't give a fuck bout any other explanation you got, you're 11 years old." He spoke sternly, while adjusting the chains that decorated his neck.

Cassia only listened while getting herself together, making sure to keep her eye on the clock so her and Cepheus left out the house on time. After talking to Anthony and calling Rashad, she got a little insight to plan something perfect for him. Since she really did want to do something he'll love on his birthday, their first to spend together.

"Mommy didn't care so why do you care-."

"Is my name Cassia Taylor? Do I look like Cassia Taylor to you?" Cepheus crouched down to be at eye level with her. "I don't give a damn what mommy said, at the end of the day you not having no boyfriend. And if I have to keep telling you then Imma stop talking with my words."

Huffing out, Crystal let out a small scream before turning to stomp out of the room. But she didn't get far once Cepheus grasped the back of her shirt to pull her back to the spot she originally stood in.

"Oh my God!" She groaned, throwing her head back in annoyance. Shaking her head, Cassia ran her flat iron through her hair again to get the top straight.

"Walk out like you got sense." He spoke in her ear before letting go again. This time Crystal crossed her arms with her head down, only for Cepheus to pull her back again.
