LOVE FOR A KING (Sequel to A King's Treasure)

TEN10.

Kingston Elijah Carter

We pulled up to Rooms To Go and I found a parking spot close to the entrance. I cut the engine and we got out, Keenan finally learned out to unbuckle his belt. He got in between Treasure and I and grabbed our hands, we walked into the furniture store and were immediately greeted.

"Welcome to Rooms to Go, how may we assist you?" The woman asked.

"Yes actually, me and my wife need some help with finding this Lil man here a bedroom set." He said pointing to Kennan, she looked at him and smiled.

"We have the perfect selections, follow me." She said and turned to lead us in the direction of the kid's section. We got in the section and looked over the many designs of the different bedroom sets.

"Daddy I like this one." He said pointing to a Royal blue matte finish bedroom set, including the dresser and the nightstand.

"You know what, I do too." He said rubbing his beard, I liked it too.

"We're going to take this one ma'am." I told the lady, she smiled.

"Okay, follow me over here." She said and walked over to her booth and started typing up the paperwork.

"Okay would you like this delivered?" She asked, I looked at King.

"Yea, is there any possibility we can get it delivered today?" He asked her.

"No Sir, the movers has to go in the inventory and find the Mattress, as well as the headboard and parts to the bed. All the parts are in different areas of the warehouse so it takes time." She explained to us, I nodded my head and listened.

"Alright that's cool, so when?" He asked.

"Two business days." She said then continued typing away on her computer.

"Okay." I simply said and she continued typing up whatever the fuck she was doing.

"Okay your total for the entire room set including the taxes is $2,956.47." She told me, I pulled out my card and handed it to her. She swiped it and handed it right back, I looked over and Treasure and Keenan had wandered off somewhere.

"OK all we need is your address and a number to contact you." She said to me, she had her paper and pen ready.

"4270 Niagara Ave. Hollywood, CA. A number to reach me is 323-537-2116." I told her, that's Treasure's number, I know ol'girl trying to be slick.

"Okay thank you, and the movers will give you a call when they're in route." She said, I thanked her for the help and walked towards the entrance.

"Daddy!" I heard Keenan yell, I looked around and couldn't see him.

"Keenan quit playing dude, where you hiding?" I asked as I looked around the store. I seen Treasure coming from the bathroom and he hopped out from under one of the beds, scaring her.

"Ahh, you little rascal I'm gone kill you." She joked, he was crying laughing.

"Y'all ready?" I asked them, they nodded their heads and we made way back to the truck.

"Thank you daddy." Keenan said from the backseat, that's one good trait he has; Manners.

"Mommy I miss A'Niyah!" He said to Treasure, "Me too baby." She said back, who the fuck is A'Niyah I looked at Treasure and she looked at me crazy.

"Boo!" She said, I chuckled and pinched her ass.

"Ouch asshole!" She spat as she punched my arm, I started laughing that shit don't hurt.

"Who's A'Niyah?" I asked.

"Messiah's daughter, her and Keenan are real close." She told me, well that's too bad they won't be seeing eachother anymore.

"And guess who his baby mama is." She stated, I really couldn't guess.

"Who." I said.

"Kita." She said, I was taken aback.

"Zakita? The one that used to work for me?" I asked her trying to confirm that she was the right person.

Treasure nodded her head, "Yup." She said popping the P.

"Wow." I started, "I didn't even know that. Shit crazy." I said.

"Mmhm Yea I know, he had just got her back from CPS two days before I had Keenan." She told me, that shit is really shocking.

"Damn, well how did she even get taken in the first place?" I asked being nosey.

"Well when she had her Messiah automatically was granted custody because of her not having a good paying job. Eventually she tried to fight for custody again and it ended up being a lose-lose situation for the both of them. She was trying to get the courts to believe that he was an unfit parent, they went through about at least eight trials before the judge ended up depriving their rights from the both of them." She said, "It's a real fucked up situation if you ask me." She finished off.

"Well hell Yea, I'd be damn if I ever let you take me to court over Keenan. Either we learn to co-parent or one of the two of us gone die, and it ain't me." I joked, she looked at me sideways and busted out laughing.

"You a trip." She said.

"You love me tho." I said cockily, she smacked her teeth and rolled her eyes.

"Don't flatter yourself King." She told me, I kind of felt played.
