Omniscient
-few days later (back in NY)
"Before I pass out the new test, I'll be giving out the old ones from last week." Professor Edwards walked around the class, handing back graded papers
A few lip smacks could be heard as some people received their papers. He got to Kyla and gave her the new test but not the old one.
"Professor Edwards" she raised her hand
"Yes Kyla?" He smiled
"I didn't receive my old test"
"Speak with me after class." He sat at his desk
Kyla stared at him in confusion, sitting back in her seat and beginning her new test.

Once class was over, she walked over to his desk on her way out the door.
"I seem to have misplaced your folder with all of your assignments for this semester." he began
Kyla sighed "Does that mean what I think it means?"
"Unfortunately, yes. You'll have to repeat a few assignments. I could help you with them if you'd like." he stood up, leaning against his desk "Maybe over dinner at my place. Just me, you...some wine." He shrugged
"I'm fine, my fiancée wouldn't mind helping me." She emphasized on the word
"Oh, you're engaged now?" he almost choked on his own air
"Yeah." She smiled, showing off her ring "To the love of my life." Kyla knew exactly what she was doing
"Yes, very exciting. I've got papers to grade, I'll get back with you on those assignments."
"Oh ok" she played along "See you tomorrow Professor"
She knew he was always a little extra with wanting to help her, now she knew exactly why. It was clear that he was interested in her, but of course Kyla only had eyes for Mekai, and if Professor Edwards didn't understand that she wasn't interested, she'd gladly let him know.

"Andrews" Kyla tapped Mekai
"Hm?" Mekai groaned in his sleep, furrowing his eyebrows
"What you doing home so early?"
"Practice was cancelled, it's supposed to rain later." He mumbled
"Really? I didn't know that." She began undressing
"Mhm." He stretched and yawned "How was ya' day?"
"It was good. I got something to tell you though..." she pulled her hair in a loose bun after wrapping a towel around her body
Mekai sat straight up "What happened?"
"See, you already mad and you don't even know yet."
He smacked his teeth "Ain't nobody mad, tell me."
"I think my professor likes me." She said, then went in the bathroom to start her shower
After she was in there for a while, Mekai came in.
"So, you just now realizing that he likes you?" he lifted up the toilet to pee
"I always kinda' knew he was strange acting around me. But now I know for sure he's interested." she washed her body
"He tried to flirt with you?" Mekai talked as he relieved himself
"No. But what Professor invites a student for dinner at his place?"
"He married or anything?" he fixed himself in his pants before washing his hands
"I don't know, but he said it'd just be me and him."
He stared at her silhouette as he leaned on the sink.
"Mm...ok" he already knew how and when he'd handle this whole situation
"Kai, promise you won't do anything. I let him know I'm engaged, I can handle it." She peeked her head from the side of the shower door
"Nah, I been knew he had a thing for you months ago, when y'all was studying in the restaurant. He was disrespectful then, but he ain't know better so I let it slide. He got one mo' time, Ky"
"Ok baby, I hear you." she could tell by his eyes he wasn't playing
"Gimme kiss" he leaned down a little
She kissed his lips before going back to her shower.
"I'm bouta' go start on dinner." He reached in and gave her a slap on the butt
"Ok baby, I'll be in there to help after I'm done."
~
After dinner and cleaning up, Mekai and Kyla cuddled up on the couch to watch Bird Box.
"Baby, you think we'd survive?" he asked
"Boy, shut up." she chuckled, snuggling into his chest some more.
"You better keep your blindfold on." he rubbed her butt, chuckling with her
"Yo' crazy ass would be the one to take it off. They'd be like, Ky's talking to a nigga and that blindfold coming off for sure."
"I can kill with my eyes closed" He pecked her forehead, turning his attention back to the movie
"Ooo, talk dirty to me daddy." she lifted her leg up, wrapping it around his torso
He chuckled again, not saying anything else after.
Bridgett
"You sure you pregnant?" he asked me, walking around the table
"Yes" I rolled my eyes "Why you so interested in my pregnancy?"
"We could use this."
"Keep talking..." I leaned in, wanting to know more.
