Karis smiled as she stole a piece of shrimp from Taylor's shrimp and grits. They've been dating for three months now and have finally labeled themselves as a couple. Karis has not introduced him to Zuri and the King family but she will be doing that very soon.
"Karis, you gotta give that back to me." Taylor said as he stared at the four shrimp that were left.
"I don't want to." Karis said as she ate the shrimp.
"Girl, you treat me so bad." Taylor joked, taking some cheese eggs from her plate filled with steak, eggs, and potatoes.
Karis gasped. "No, Taylor! That's mine."
"Shhh, this is my reparation." Taylor told her. "I would've taken a piece of steak, but you got it well done."
"I don't like pink meat—that goes for my steak and my dick." Karis replied.
Taylor laughed. "Hell, my dick is damn near pink."
"I was a little worried in the beginning, but your dick has a tan." Karis said. "And it's big."
Before Taylor could respond, the waiter came by to refill their waters and mimosas. "Is there anything else I can get the two of you?"
"No, we're good for now. Thank you." Taylor told him. The waiter nodded and walked away.
"So, I want to invite you to our family dinner at Big Mama's house tomorrow so you can meet everybody—including my baby." Karis said.
Taylor's eyes went wide. "Really?"
Karis smiled and nodded. "Now, I must warn you—the old ladies will lust over you and the men may grill you, but they mean no harm. Zuri will also speak her mind whether it's good or bad, but she'll be respectful about it. I just don't want them to scare you off."
"You see what I have to deal with when it comes to my family. Nothing can scare me off, baby." Taylor assured her. "I'm excited to meet your people. This shows you're opening up to me more."
"Yeah, I kinda like you." Karis joked.
Taylor laughed. "Kinda, huh? Yeah, okay." Karis laughed back as she tried to steal another shrimp, but Taylor plucked her hand away. "You better wave the server down and ask for some shrimp." He said, making her pout.

Killian rolled his eyes when he received a text message from Arissa. She was currently three months pregnant and Killian prayed the baby was not his because he did not want to deal with her. However, if the child was his then he would fight for full custody. Everything in him regrets having sex with that girl, but he's glad she stopped stalking him.
Killian is no longer living with his parents and Lennox. He ended up breaking his lease at his apartment and moved into a townhouse. He enjoyed the bigger space and did not have to worry about being extra considerate for his neighbors downstairs when it came to his at home workouts. Heather helped him pick out the place and he was very satisfied with their decision.
"Coach King, this shit is hard." One of Killian's students said who was also his player. It was two months into the school year and Killian passed out a test to close out the first nine weeks.
"If you studied it wouldn't be hard." Killian told him. "Now, stop talking during the test."
"Ain't no need to study when you have colleges already looking at you." The student said, making everyone else suck their teeth. This student whose name is Aaron is one of the top high school players in the country as a sophomore and he mentioned it everyday.
"Boy, how dumb do you sound?" Another student chimed in.
Killian chuckled and shushed her before turning his attention back to Aaron. "Aight y'all. Take a break real quick and let's talk for a second. Whatever you don't finish, I will mark it correct." He told his students as he stood up from his desk. "Aaron, tell me something. How do you expect to play college ball if you can't pass the tenth grade?"
