Women's Correctional Facility

"I'm here to see Ivory Ali." Asahd said as he handed the lady him and Knowledge's ID.

"What's your relation to her?" The lady asked, with an obvious attitude.

"Husband. And this her son." He replied cooly.

The lady typed into her computer then handed him their ID's back.

"I see you come here often, so you know what's next. Step aside so I can help the next people in line."

Knowledge shook his head as he followed his father to the security checkpoint.

"I hate coming in this bitch.." Knowledge said low enough for his father to hear.

Asahd heard his son, he knew how Knowledge felt. He definitely regretted the life him and his wife created for Knowledge, but on the other hand he wasn't sorry for hustling to provide for him.

Once the two got through security, they were led into a private visitation room.

Knowledge instantly smiled when he saw his mom stand up.

"Hi papa," she smiled pulling him into a tight hug.

Due to the pandemic they hadn't seen each other in person as often as before COVID.

"Asahd" Ivory said as she pulled away from Knowledge, the women's face lit up as she saw hugged her husband.

"Wassup pretty girl." He said grabbing her chin and kissing her.

"Mane ewww." Knowledge scrunched up his face and took a seat at the table.

"Nigga shut yo ass up." Asahd said as he sat then pulled Ivory into his lap.

"How's school been baby?" Ivory asked smiling at her son.

Knowledge shrugged "It's the same, I'm ready to be done."

"And basketball?"

"Real good, I'm 'bout to start travel ball in a few weeks.. we wrapping up track." He told her.

"That's good baby..... any girls?"

Knowledge let out a laugh "Nah ma, I'm just chillin',"

"Lyin' ass." Ivory said with a laugh, "Mhm boy what about that lil girl, Amber? She real pretty and she seems sweet."

"How you know?" Knowledge scrunched up his face.

"Who Amber?" Asahd asked, making the same face as Knowledge. "And why I ain hear about her?"

Ivory laughed some more "They came into the restaurant the other day after a meet."

"Mama what? How you know all this?"

"Boy I'm a mom, I stay in the know." She smirked.

Knowledge sat back in his chair and eyed her.

"..... ya granny told me about her and sent a picture." Ivory ended up saying with a laugh.

"Y'all weird mama, I'm just getting to know her. I ain really looking for a relationship or nun like that."

"Hmmmm.. Asahd keep me updated on them."

"Look at the two nerdssss," Iman said as he came into Amber's room.

Knowledge chuckled as he slid off his glasses, the two were studying for their AP exams.

"Iman why you in here?" Amber huffed as she stood up to chase him out.

"Chill I'm bout to go out anyway."

Amber eyed him "Where you going?"

"Somewhere you not.. imma see y'all." He called out as he walked out the room and shut the door.

"I'm sorry about him," Amber said to Knowledge.

"It's straight, kinda make me want a sibling."

"You don't have any?" She asked in shock.

He shook his head "Nah my mama been in jail since I was three, and my daddy still wit my mama sooooo,"

"Wow since you was three?" Amber looked at him in shock, she couldn't imagine growing up with out her mom.

"Yea.. but wit her she still made shit happen for me."

Which was true, even though she'd been locked up for all of Knowledge's major milestones, somehow Ivory made him feel like she was still there for it all.

The two fell into a silence until Knowledge cleared his throat.

"You tryna take a break?" He asked as he shut his computer down.

Amber let out a breath and laughed "Yea ion think I can look at anything else tonight,"

Knowledge nodded in agreement as he rose out of her desk chair.

"C'mon." He said grabbing his keys.

Amber watched in confusion as Knowledge gathered his things and slid on his Yeezy slides.

"Boy watchu mean cMoN, where you tryna go?"

"Put yo shoes on."

"But-"

She cut herself off and decided to not argue with him since he wasn't paying her any mind.

"Mhm," Knowledge sounded as Amber slid on her crocs and grabbed a jacket.

Soon, the two found themselves on the road in his car.

"Soooo where we going?" She asked, watching him drive.

She watched his mouth move, but she was too busy staring at the side of his face.

"I thought it was gon be fun to do since you like it. You cool wit that?" He glanced at her, pulling her back into the conversation.

"Uhm." She nodded and looked forward.

He chuckled as he continued to drive.

"You can put some music on." He told her as he stopped at a light.

"I was about to ask..it was getting too quiet" she said giving him a small smile.

He placed his phone in her lap and glanced down as she typed his password in to unlock her.

Amber went through his playlists then smiled seeing that he had all of her favorite songs in one.

played as she rested his phone back down.

Amber sat in the car for an hour not knowing where they were going, since she didn't bother to pay attention the first time Knowledge told her. She just decided to trust him.

"You good?" He asked as he sped down the highway.

"Yea, you good?"

He chuckled "Yea."

A few more minutes into the drive, Amber found herself falling asleep.

"Wake yo ass up nigga." Knowledge said as he softly shook her.

Amber opened her eyes, then closed them again once a bright light came in to view.

"Where we at?" She asked, still half sleep.

"Open your eyes." He chuckled.

She sighed and opened her eyes to see Dwarf House on a building.

"Ouuuu come on." She cheesed as she slid her shoes on.

Knowledge chuckled as he turned the car off and followed her to the building.

The two did the mini museum tour then went to place their order.

After somewhat of a wait, they sat down with the food.

"It's good?" He asked as she sipped her milkshake.

"Yea, thank you for taking me here. This was cool." she smiled at him.

"Fasho ma," he nodded.

The two ate and talked for the next hour until they finished.

"It's bout time to go yall.." Knowledge yawned as he stood up and stretched.

Amber laughed and stood up as he grabbed his keys.

The two drove back to Savannah in a comfortable silence as Knowledge's playlist played the whole ride home.

"We here." Knowledge said as they pulled into her driveway.

"Thank you again for this Knowledge." Amber smiled as she leaned over to give him a hug.

"You're welcome," he said returning the hug.
