☆ Ken's p.o.v ☆
 June 2nd, 2024 (the next day)

_____I woke up at 11 a.m. and felt like shit. 

Welcome to a day in the life of Ken. Where no amount of sleep is ever enough and I can't feel my lower half of my body because of a big headed ass nigga.

"Kai get up." I tap his arm a few times. But he only moves his head to lay right on top my stomach.

"KC, lay on the pillow." I tap his head, and he only groans.

"I am on a pillow."  I roll my eyes.

"You bet not drool on me." I tell him with aggressiveness.

I lay here defeated. After Kai and I ate our dinner I fell asleep in his room. His bed is a king sized which is more than enough space for the both of us. Yet he still somehow lays right on top of me.

I begin to think of the stuff I need to do today. The first thing is to rent a car. I have no way of transportation, and that is not something I'm comfortable with. The car I own is back in NOLA. The places I have been going have been too far to drive.

Breakfast is another thing on my mind. Maybe I can cook something up in the kitchen. I know Kai likes Eggo Waffles, so hopefully, there are some of them  for me to heat up.

Today, Kai wants to show me around a few places in Atlanta. However, I don't think it is a good idea. I don't want to be spotted out yet. I am going to go on hiatus until I pop out for my next project.

My phone dings somewhere in the bed, and I go to feel around the bed the best I can with this big head on me. My hand brushes something cool and hard in which I grab from under the covers. Realizing it is my phone, I unlock it and read the notifications.

It is a notification from my bank account about a deposit from Paramount Pictures Studios of $500,000.

Half a million.

"EEEEEEKKK!" I let out a high-pitched scream. Kai jumps up, looking around abruptly, waking up out of his sleep. He turns and turns until he falls out of bed.

"Ohmygosh, KC, look! Look,Look!" I yell to him.

"Yo what the fuck." He rubs his eyes like he usually does when he first wakes up.

"Kai look!" Put the phone up to his face. He squinches his eyes, trying to get use of the brightness.

"They gave me half a million from the movie."

"Nah, you earned half a million." He says, looking at me. I hug him, feeling a little emotional. I have never encountered this much money at once before. Since I was chief editor on this movie, I was part of it from start to finish. I wasn't expecting this much money in the end though.

I know my worth, and my skill is not like no one else. Yet for other people to see it like Kai makes me teary-eyed.

He rubs my back and kisses my forehead. Lips chapped as fuck but its all good though. KC moves to get out of bed.

"I'm going back upstairs to use the bathroom and shit." I announced.

"Bet, we're going out to eat. So get dressed."

"Ight bet."

I make it back to my room and start to get ready. Once I have done my morning hygiene routine, I choose a outfit, laying it across the bed. I take off my bonnet, to slick down my edges and oil my scalp. Raking my hands through my braids to pull it out the large braids I put them in to keep the curls.
