Two Days Later

"August I know how to fight.", Kennedy says rolling her eyes.

"Oh you do? When's the last time you fought someone?", August asks folding his arms.

"Uhhh...", she says thinking.

"Exactly, get yo ass over here.", he says putting the last mat down and taking off his shirt as she walks to him and turns around, facing her back to him.

"Aight, what do you do when...", he trails off starting to put his arm around her neck. She catches his wrist, moves from behind his arm, slightly twists it and kicks the back of his knee, making him fall.

"Well damn.", he mumbles, standing back up.

"Told you.", she shrugs, "I think I deserve a kiss.", she says puckering up her lips.

"You sure do.", he says kissing his fingers and tapping them against hers, making her jump and open her eyes.

"Really?", Kennedy asks straight facing him.

"Yes, now back to work.", August says walking to get punching hand pads and boxing gloves, with her following him.

"I'm literally just asking for one kiss babe. Please?", she asks pouting and taking the gloves from him.

"Come get it.", he says putting the pads on his hands as she gets on her tippy toes to kiss him.

"Okay, let's go.", he says pecking her lips then backing up.

-

"Five more then you're done. Come on babe, you can do it.", August says holding her waist from behind.

"Ugh, okay.", Kennedy says locking her fingers and putting her hands in front of her as she does five more squats.

"Good job.", he says smacking her ass.

"Owww!", she yells hitting him.

"I ain't even smack it that hard, damn.", he says rubbing his arm.

"Well my ass and my thighs are on fire, so what wouldn't hurt before, hurts now.", she says sitting down before laying back on the mat.

"Well if it helps you feel any better, you look really good.", he says laying down next to her.

"I do?", she asks, blushing.

"You do.", he says.

"Why is it that every time something big happens involving our relationship, some crazy shit happens?", Kennedy asks turning her body to look at him.

"I honestly don't know. It's irritating as fuck, but hey, We still good so that's all that matters.", August says looking up at the ceiling, "I mean shit, we fucking getting married.", he chuckles.

"That's still hard to believe. Like we didn't even wanna get married at first, now look at us...", she says as he turns his head to look at her.

"Engaged.", they say in unison before sharing a laugh.

-

"Hey, can you take me to the post office to get all of these shipped out please?", Kennedy asks handing him a package.

"Yeah, of course.", August says putting a shipping sticker on it before putting it in the box of ready packages.

"Thank ya.", she says starting on another package.

"No problem, you hungry?", he asks.

"Nah, I just wanna sleep.", she yawns.

"Aight, we can go to bed after we finish this package.", he says.

"Mkay.", she says sealing the package and handing it to him before standing up and stretching.

"Bed timeee!", he says putting the package in the box before standing up.

"Yes!", she says hopping on the bed and sighing at the soft feeling.

"Goodnight mama.", he chuckles, getting in the bed.

"Goodnight, I love you.", she says getting under the cover with him and moving close to him.

"I love you too.", he says putting her leg around his waist and giving her a goodnight kiss.

-

"You need to stop 'fore yo fast ass don't make it to the post office.", August laughs holding Kennedy's waist, "Up, now.", he says tapping her butt, making her stand up on the bed as he gets up.

"Boy you know you fuckin want me, all this ass over here.", she says getting into an arch and smacking her ass.

"If you don't bring yo goofy ass on!", he says laughing.

""Okay, fine.", she chuckles getting out of the bed and grabbing one of her boxes as he grabs the other one.

-

"I'm so excitedddd, my first shipment since my launch, and it's huge! Gotta get a restock started at the manufacturer.", Kennedy says getting out of the car.

"I'm so proud of you, like super proud of you. Especially after all you had to go through to get to this point? Damn babe.", August says grabbing a box from the backseat.

"Thank you, means a lot coming from a fellow CEO.", she says smiling and grabbing a box.

-

"I'm hungry.", Kennedy says.

"We ate before we left.", August says starting the car.

"And? I'm hungry, stop at Wendy's please and thank you.", she says giving him a closed mouth smile, making him smack his lips.

"Girl, what you want?", he asks driving off.

"Fo fo fo.", she snickers.

"I can't with you.", he says smiling and shaking his head.

After getting Kennedy's food, they head back to the crib where August would continue "training her" after she ate, and he would continue to dive into who destroyed her salon and surprisingly, but not so surprisingly, he was actually getting somewhere.

"Alright so we got three suspects. Peyton, Mariah, and Robin.", August says holding the punching bag as Kennedy punches it over and over.

"Explain to me again why you think Robin has something to do with this? She barely has enough money to get a plane ticket to get here.", Kennedy asks before squaring up and hitting the bag twice.

"There's really not a specific reason, but everyone who's had some type of bad past with either of us is a suspect. So Micheal is a suspect too, now that I think of it.", he says looking at her.

"Good point, and alright.", she sighs shakily.

"You scared?", he asks.

"Very. I mean we don't do anything to anybody babe. Why is something always happening to us?", she asks tearing up.

"No, no, no. Don't cry please. We're gonna be okay, ain't shit gone happen to us. After we figure this out, we can go ahead and start planning this wedding, and find out what we doing for my baby birthday okay?", August asks wiping tears under her eyes.

"Okay.", she sighs, calming down a little bit.
