Standing in the middle of the aisle with bookshelves on either side Sade's nose was buried inside the book that rested in both of her palms as she read over the first few pages. A smile graced her face at the hands that came in contact with her waist followed by lips that pressed into her soft skin repeatedly.

"Did you find what you were looking for?" Kairo asked still close by her ear

"I think so. This is third edition I couldn't find anything older." Sade told him tapping on the book twice

Kairo took in the slight frown that crossed her face "My father might have an older one I'll check for you Mocha"

Sade's frown quickly turned into her beautiful smile at the use of her newfound nickname "Thank you I appreciate it"

"You know it's nothing" he replied applying another kiss to her cheek. Hearing her name being called she pulled herself away and sashayed where the drinks were usually placed. As usual Sade ordered a hibiscus tea and for Kairo she thought he would enjoy a passion fruit punch. Claiming their seats Sade passed him an unwrapped metal straw from her bag.

"What?" Sade laughed at his somewhat confused facial expression

"You just pulled a straw out your purse" he said like it was the oddest thing

With a nod Sade poked the lid of her cup "Yeah, plastic hurts the planet. I don't want to partake in that"

"You're a good person" Kairo complimented

"I try to be" Sade replied smiling. With an arched eyebrow Sade watched as Kairo set back in his chair wrapping his lips around the straw pulling from it letting the flavors coat his tongue"Well?"

"It's okay a little bitter. But good nevertheless" he responded taking another sip to confirm his answer

"It's a healthy smoothie bar but they have packets of sugar" She told him reaching behind her to grab a condiments container on another table. She watched as he removed the lid and tore the packets open letting the sugar dissolve in the cup.

"I never got to ask how was your outting with your friend?"

"It was just what I needed. Some retail therapy" Sade sighed happily

"You like to shop huh?" Kairo asked with a smirk

"Don't you?" Sade returned the question

"I do. I enjoy the luxury's my life brings"

Sade nodded "But seriously it's the Libra in me."

"You believe in all that zodiac shit?"

Sade bucked her eyes at his disapproving look "Yes! You don't?"

"Nah a person's personality is solely based on them not something based off the month you were born on" Kairo told her

"Not the person's whole personality but some characteristics. And it's based on more than just the month when you really get into astrology" Sade informed him
