Comment "hannnnn" if you a baddie reading.
"You remember this from art history?" Amber asked with a smile as they walked through an art gallery.
She had stopped at every painting and dissected it in every way possible, it was safe to say that she was really enjoying herself.
Knowledge nodded as he silently walked behind her.
He knew art was something she was into, so he decided to make a little date out of it for her. He wasn't really feeling it.
"I hated that fuckin' class." He finally said as they walked into another section.
Amber laughed and continued to look around.
"Nigga still got a five on the exam.." she mumbled while she studied a drawing.
He chuckled and grabbed onto her waist from behind.
This slightly caught Amber off guard since she had only been this close with him once before. This was all still new to her.
"I like this one." He spoke as he actually took the time to look at it with her.
"Me too." She said, finally leaning into him.
_____________________
"Thank you for taking me." Amber said for a third time with the same wide smile once.
The two were sitting in the car, planning their day.
"Fasho. What you tryna eat?"
She watched as he backed out and shrugged.
"I'm really not hungry." She told him.
He felt his mood sour a little.
"Amber yeen eat all day, don't start that shit wimme." Knowledge said glancing at the side of her face as she looked forward.
She pressed her thumbnail against her tooth before she spoke.
yall know kheumani? ok yea just like her.
"We could just do Chipotle."
"Order it on the app for me, ion feel like going in to wait." He said, then tossed his phone into her lap.

She nodded and began to place their orders.
Fifteen minutes later, he had pulled into the parking lot and parked.
Just like Knowledge had said, there was a good amount of people standing on the line to order their food.
The two sat on their phones until Knowledge leaned up after his phone notification went off.
She watched as he got out of the car and went inside to get their food.
Once he got into the car, he took their bowls and drinks out to sort through.
"Thanks." She mumbled, then she began to eat.
He nodded and did the same.
The car was silent except the occasional noise from them moving around.
Amber scrolled on Tiktok while she shoveled food into her mouth and Knowledge just focused on eating.

"You can stop that quiet shit." Knowledge said as they rode in silence.
Amber glanced over at him then back at the road.
"Why you be doing that?" He spoke again.
"Doing what?"
"That 'I'm not hungry' shit. You been wit me since this morning and it's goin' on five. How you not tryna eat?"
Amber shrugged, Knowledge always found a way to ask her those questions and she found herself answering them.
"I'm just not hungry Knowledge."
He sighed "But you is Amber, yo ass be tearing up the food once you finally do eat."
Amber was growing irritated with him and the questions.
She felt him getting closer to the truth.
She sat silent for a moment before she spoke again.
"Knowledge, I don't really want to discuss it anymore."
He sighed in realization, he might've been overstepping.
"My bad." He apologized as he glanced over at her. "You have anything else you wanna do?"
Amber shook her head "I just wanna chill at your house."

Knowledge smirked "You wanna chill wit me."
She rolled her eyes then continued to watch the road in front of her.
"I liked the lil fit you had on today." He continued staring at the ceiling, as Amber made her way into the bed.
"Really? I don't be wearing bright colors like that. It was something different for me."
"Yea I fucked wit it, you looked good as fuck." He nodded, semi licking his lips.
Amber just sat there with a silly smile on her face.

Knowledge." Amber laughed as she tried to get his attention.
"Nah leave me alone," He said mugging her as they walked into his living room.
She laughed some more and tackled him onto the ground.
"You really mad?" She asked, attempting to pull him into a hug.
"You ate the rest of my food.."
Amber tried to shoot him a smile but he just stared at her.
"I'm sorry, it was really good. I'll buy you some more." She told him.
He shook his head and flipped them over so that she was now sitting on his lap.
"My bad, you tryna watch sum?"
"Yea." She nodded then she reached for the remote.
"Fuck." He mumbled as she moved around on his lap.
Amber let out a laugh "My bad big dawg,"
"You so corny." He chuckled once she finally got the remote.
"Lemme just hop off here." She laughed as she got off of his lap and sat beside him.
Soon, the two settled down and decided to watch Coming To America.
"You literally gotta baby face." Amber spoke as Knowledge rested his head on her lap.
"Bruh are you gon watch the movie? Or do I need to turn it off?"
They were fifteen minutes into the movie, and Amber hadn't shut up.
"Honestly.. I'm not watching this shit." She said with a laugh.
"I really had fun today Knowledge." She spoke again.
Knowledge gave her a tired smile, as he was dozing off "I'm glad baby."
She eyed him, but decided to ignore it.
When she opened her mouth to speak again, she noticed he had fallen asleep.

The Laptop Hero (Portal/Isekai LitRPG)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - April 2022 Silas got summoned to another world—by a group of kids attending magic school who seemed rather unhappy with the results of their ritual. After a brief glimpse of his summoners Silas woke in the town dump. Unable to speak the local language, a misunderstanding escalated and before long Silas wound up in a jail cell, the locals having confiscated all his worldly possessions aside from his laptop, which had formed some strange bond with him. Now he can summon his laptop at will, and he can view his Status, level up, and gain powerful skills and magic as if he were some character in a video game, which is great and everything, but all Silas really wants to do is sit in a dark room and play games on his laptop. Only, life isn't a game, and Silas needs to get his act together because everyone else is playing for keeps. Or does he? Maybe for Silas life is just one big game now, with everyone else stuck playing by his rules. Assorted Disclaimers, in no particular order: I am only posting this on RoyalRoad.com, so if you find my story elsewhere it was not posted by me. Please do let me know! While I do consider this a progression fantasy, and have tagged it as such, Silas's Status improvements will not necessarily proceed in a linear fashion. His RPG stats will have ups and downs, exploits and nerfs, periods of growth and stagnation. Such is the life of a gamer, to be held under the thumb of the all powerful devs, or in this case a certain goddess devoted to the idea of Balance. SIlas himself should learn and grow, improving and progressing in areas where he struggles, or rather, to show such is my goal. The story is told from multiple points of view. While other PoVs will come and go, Silas shall remain the only lead character. The world Silas finds himself on is not a nice place. Expect him to encounter gore and traumatizing content and bad people who do bad things for selfish (or possibly noble) reasons from time to time. Some characters will use profanity, however due to cultural differences the curse words used will differ from those used in our corner of reality, so I'm not including the profanity content warning. Silas himself isn't one for foul language. No explicit sexual content here. This novel is intended for mature readers, however, and will include mature topics, including, but not limited to, sex, violence, death, and taxes. No harem. Might be an eventual romantic interest, possibly even some competitive jealousy, yet as his story begins Silas is too overwhelmed with other concerns to consider long term plans. Musophobics might want to steer clear of this story. Same goes for turophobics. You have been warned. Keep in mind, however, if my other disclaimers didn't make this clear, I only have the faintest of outlines at the moment. This story will take me where it will. My goal with this story is to write it to the end, something of a long-term writing exercise, with the hope others might take an interest in my work and encourage me to keep at it. I've started a number of works before, even finished a few, but this is the first time I've shared any work in a public forum. My temporary cover was made by me, in GIMP using public domain images. If you can do better I'll happily accept your submission and give credit for your work here!
