Captivated

Chapter 7

Omniscient

Ariana grabbed her Louis Vuitton tote bag out of the passenger seat of her car and got out of the car. She was at Amari's apartment for dinner. He had offered to cook dinner for her since Kenzie was there for the weekend and he wanted to introduce the two. Ariana and Amari had now been dating for two and a half months and things were going great.

Once Ariana reached Amari's door she knocked and waited for him to answer the door. After a few seconds Amari opened the door for her.

"Wassup." Amari spoke, stepping to the side to let Ariana inside of the house.

"Hey." Ariana embraced him in a hug.

"Hi pretty." Ariana spoke, noticing Kenzie behind Amari.

"Hi." Kenzie spoke with a smile.

"I'm Ariana. What's your name?"

"Kenzie."

"That's a pretty name."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome." Ariana smiled.

"You ready to eat, everything ready." Amari informed her.

"Yeah, let me go wash my hands."

"Alright."

Kenzie waited until Ariana was out of sight before tapping her father's leg. "What?" Amari questioned, placing his attention on Kenzie.

"Is that your girlfriend?" Kenzie questioned. Amari let out a small laugh before responding.

"Yes, is that okay with you?" He questioned.

"Yeah."

"Good, come on so we can eat." Kenzie followed Amari into the kitchen.

When Ariana entered the kitchen Kenzie and Amari were sitting down at the kitchen table. Ariana joined them, looking at the food that Amari cooked. She had never tried his cooking so she was hoping that it was going to be good. From the looks of it, it was.

"Everything looks good." Ariana smiled. Amari had cooked some steak, twice baked potatoes, green beans, and some rolls.

"It's going taste good too."

"I don't know about all that now, we'll see." Ariana laughed.

"Can daddy cook?" Amari questioned Kenzie. Kenzie shook her head yes with a small smirk on her face. Amari gave her a high five and began fixing everyone's plates.

"So Kenzie, do you like school?" Ariana questioned.

Kenzie shook her head anxiously. "Really, what's your favorite thing about it?"

"Coloring!"

"I used to like to color too when I was your age."

"I think we all did." Ariana sucked her teeth at Amari's slick comment.

"You want to see my coloring book?" Kenzie questioned. Ariana shook her head yes and Kenzie went to get her coloring book from her room.

"You like the food?" Amari questioned. From the looks of it, Ariana was enjoying the food, her plate was almost empty.

"Yeah, I guess you can cook a little." Ariana smirked.

"I see you got jokes."

"I have a few."

"Look!" Kenzie opened her coloring book, showing Ariana.

"It's so pretty." Ariana flipped through some of the pages.
