“Where is he? I’ll go get the nigga,” Landon sighed.

“He’s in Jefferson. He gave me two phone numbers for bails bondsman that you can call,” Raheem replied.

“Hold up. Baby, give me something to write with,” Landon requested while looking at Faryn.

“Oh shit, that’s why that nigga didn’t get an answer. He caught you at a bad time,” Raheem laughed.

“Hell yeah, he did,” Landon replied, as Faryn handed him a pen and paper.

He took down the information that his cousin gave him and started making calls soon after. Faryn used that time to take a shower, and Landon was still on the phone when she got out. She threw on some joggers and a t-shirt and headed to the kitchen. They had already eaten breakfast, so she looked in the freezer to see what she was going to cook for dinner. Once she had a meal in mind, Faryn made sure she had all the ingredients before she started prepping everything.

“Hey Faryn,” Lance said when he walked into the kitchen and sat at the island.

“Hey boo. What’s up?” She smiled at him.

“Nothing, just finished playing the game with Lennox,” he replied.

“Can we make something for dessert tonight Faryn?” Lennox asked when he walked into the kitchen a short time later.

“Yeah, but it depends on what y’all wanna make. We might have to go to the store,” Faryn replied.

“Go to the store for what?” Landon asked when he walked into the kitchen.

“Faryn said that we could make dessert tonight,” Lance replied excitedly.

Faryn was too busy staring at him to even answer his question. Landon was dressed down in jeans and a t-shirt, but he made the simple outfit look so good.

“Stop eye fucking me when you be acting stingy with the pussy,” he whispered in her ear before kissing her lips.

He laughed when Faryn gasped at his choice of words.

“Where are you going dad?” Lance asked.

Landon didn’t know what he and Faryn had talked about all those months ago, but he was back to his old self in no time at all. School was out for summer break, and Lance hadn’t gotten into any more trouble since the last time. His grades were good, and Landon always let him know that he was proud of him.

“I’m going to get your uncle Aiden,” Landon replied.

“Where is he?” Lance asked.

“In jail,” Landon replied.

“Again?” Both of his sons asked at the same time, making him and Faryn laugh.

“Baby, is it okay if they stay here until I come back?” Landon asked.

“Do you even have to ask?” Faryn questioned.

“Yeah, I do,” he answered.

“You know it’s cool. They never give me any trouble,” Faryn replied.

“I’ll be back as soon as I get this clown straight and we can go to the store,” Landon said.

Faryn hated to drive, so Landon had become her personal chauffer. He didn’t mind and he loved doing things for her. Her car had been in his garage for months with no movement.

“Okay,” Faryn replied.

He and Faryn shared another quick kiss before he grabbed his keys and walked out the front door.
