"Ow Ken, damn!", August hisses in.

"I'm not doing anything, comb your fucking hair sometimes.", Kennedy says brushing his conditioned hair.

"That's yo job, you the beautician.", he says as she grabs her rat tail comb and pops him in the head with it, "Ow!", he yells, hitting her leg as she laughs.

"I'm sorry boo, I've always wanted to do that.", she chuckles grabbing a shower cap and putting it on his head.

"I am not a damn test subject.", he says as she puts all his hair under the cap.

"Oh shut up.", she says standing up and walking to the bathroom to rinse her brush and wash her hands.

"How long I gotta keep this on? I look like a mushroom.", August says looking at himself in the bathroom mirror.

"Ten minutes and stop complaining.", Kennedy says putting the brush on the sink and starting to walk out of the bathroom.

"Wait.", he says turning around and leaning on the sink.

"What?", she asks turning back around.

"Turn around.", he says doing the motion with his finger.

"Anthony, I'm not here for your sexual antics today.", she says walking out.

"Ooh, you called me by the middle name. I guess I'll take ya seriously.", he says following her.

"Why is it then that you only take me seriously?", she asks laying down.

"Because you didn't drag out my name like you usually do. When you drag out my name, you actually want it and you just fronting like you don't. Plus you don't call me by my middle name often.", August shrugs.

"Oh.", she says.

"Yeah, what's wrong though? You've been in a mood all day.", he says laying between her legs.

"I've just been- ahhh", she moans softly, feeling him starting to rub her foot.

"Keep going, tell me what's wrong.", he says.

"Right, I've just been in a funk. Feels like everyone's against me and out to get me, I don't know.", she sighs.

"Why you feel like that?", he asks starting to rub her other foot.

"I mean look at what we just went through babe. We didn't even know Peyton was out of jail and Mariah was a snake from the beginning and we didn't even know it. The ones closest to us could be snakes and we don't even know it.", Kennedy says quickly, releasing a breath afterwards, "Why am I so fucking stupid?", she asks covering her face.

"Hey, stop that shit forreal Milan. You not stupid and I'm sick of you beating yourself up over something you had no control over.", he says sitting up as he moves back to be next to her and wrapping his arms around her.

"You are the kindest person I know, and sometimes that kindness can be taken advantage of. However, when it is, it isn't your fault baby.", he says taking her hands off of her face.

"You see how easy it is?", she asks.

"What?", he asks.

"Talking about your feelings.", she says.

"It's really not.", he says.

"With me, it should be.", she says.

"Why are we talking about me?", he asks.

"Because like I've told you before, it's like pulling teeth getting you to talk to me about your feelings. Like I'm your fiancée, why are you so hesitant with talking to me babe?", she asks looking at him as he looks everywhere but at her.

"I just...", he sighs before speaking again, "I just don't want you to judge me.", he says.

"Why would I-", she gets cut off.

"Let me finish. I said that because it's not every day that you meet a man who is so sensitive, so vulnerable. I guess I'm so used to putting up a strong front in front of you, that when shit gets soft and serious, I can't get soft and shit in front of you. That's why I don't like crying in front of you either.", he says.

"Aug, listen to me and listen good. We've been together for a year and a half and we're engaged, right?", she asks.

"Yeah.", he says.

"So, with that being said, you don't have to put up a front for me because I know the real you.", she says poking his chest, "Be sensitive in front of me, be soft in front of me, be a big baby August I don't care! Open up to me babe, I promise I won't judge you.", she says.

"I'll work on it, aight?", he asks.

"Okay.", she nods.

"Can I get this muffin top off my head now?", he asks, making her laugh.

"Yeah, come on.", she says getting out of the bed.

"You see how easy it was to blow dry? You looking like a mushroom did you some good huh babe?", she asks parting his hair.

"Yeah, yeah. What you wanna do for your birthday?", he asks.

"I wanna get out of California... Ooh! Let's go to Vegas.", she smiles starting to twist his hair.

"Vegas.. Okay, that can be arranged. How long you wanna stay?", he asks.

"As long as we can honestly.", she says.

"So a week and some change?", he asks.

"Sounds good to me baby.", she says starting on another twist.

-

"Damn you look good.", Kennedy says hopping up on the bathroom sink.

"I do? Thank you baby.", August says smiling and looking at himself in the mirror.

"Mhm. Ooh, let's take some pictures!", Kennedy says pulling him close as he takes his phone out of his pocket.

"You posting these?", he asks before snapping a picture with him gripping her ass in one hand.

"Mhm.", she says wrapping her arms around him as he takes another one.

"No face, no case.", he says putting his face in her neck, kissing it as he takes multiple pictures.

"You don't wanna be seen on the gram with me or something?", she asks raising his eyebrow as he stops.

"It's not that, just that the media don't know we 'back together' yet. It'd be funny if you posted these and let people ponder on shit that ain't they business.", he shrugs.

"They're gonna know it's you, your hand tattoos babe.", she says.

"Still gonna be pondering, still gonna be funny. As a matter of fact, post it with no caption.", he chuckles handing her his phone.

"Okay.", she smiles taking it and going to her Instagram to post them.
