27-Vee

**Saviera's POV**

Class is so boring today. I just want to go home, eat some junk food and spend time with Zuri and Daveed. Tonight, I want to put my focus on Zuri the most because she deserves to have a day dedicated to her. She's getting her box braids out after work and I cant wait to see her rock her natural hair again. She has such long and beautiful hair, about halfway down her back, but you wouldn't think it was that long because it's so curly.
My professor wraps up the lecture and releases the class about ten minutes early, thankfully. As I'm walking down the hall to Daveed's classroom, I stop when I see the prude that I ran into talking to him. The conversation looks pretty serious, so I decide to go to the food court and grab myself a drink to pass time. By the time I get back to his classroom, she wasn't there.
"Hey. I saw Ms. Coffee Breath was talking to you. What did she want?" I asked.
"Remember when she said her husband has an extra shirt in his office?" He responded.
"Yesss. why?" I'm seeing where this is going.
"Guess who her husband is." I can see the stress in his face.
"Fuck. Coach Rhett?" I knew it.
"Yeah. So now we know why he gets away with everything. And since she is on the board, she knows I reported her husband. But the weird part? She wasn't mad at me, or at least she didn't appear mad. She just told me that he was being looked into and that action is going to be taken if necessary." Daveed explained.
This still doesn't sit right with me. My gut is telling me it won't be a simple process like she's making it out to be. "We should still be cautious of her. Something doesn't feel right about this to me."
"I agree. At this point though, it's out of my hands. I hope she doesn't have a scheme up her sleeve." He said.
He gathers his things and we go grab lunch from a nearby sandwich shop. I get a footlong on white bread with extra turkey, pepperoni, salami, extra colby jack cheese and toasted. After its toasted I get pickles, light lettuce, mayo and mustard. The sandwich alone is twelve dollars, but its the best. Daveed gets a black forest ham with American cheese toasted. So simple. I grab Zuri a sandwich too. She always gets a six inch cheddar bread with nothing but veggies, shredded cheese and a line of ranch. It's called The Garden. I don't understand why she likes it, but it's all she gets.
We get our order to-go and bring Zuri her lunch. I love that she has so much time on break because we were able to sit outside of the dentist office at a picnic table with her. We all talked about our day and told her about the situation. After lunch, we headed back to the university and finished our last class of the day at three-thirty. After that, we headed home.
"It's so nice to be home! Today was so long." I whined.
"It did go a lot slower than usual. I'm exhausted." Daveed agreed.
"Hey, so I have something special planned for Zuri tonight and I was wondering if you could help me out?" I asked.
"Of course. What's the plan?"


**Zuri's POV**

Daveed, Sav and I walk into the hair salon that our friend Vee owns. She's the only person that I trust with my hair besides mom and Sav. She's also one of the only people that I go to with super personal info. It's rare to find a friend like her that you can trust fully. Daveed and Sav are sitting in the waiting area on the other side of the wall while Vee takes me to her booth and works her magic.
"So are you going to explain to me who that sexy man is?" Vee asked.
"Okay I'll tell you but you can't tell anyone. Promise?" I know she won't tell anyone. I've trusted her with much bigger things and she always keeps her word.
"He is with us romantically. It's a little arrangement that we all agreed to so that Sav and I could explore our desires together." I explain. She doesn't look surprised, but she looks thrilled.
"That's so sweet. Poly relationships are actually very normal and you guys should be able to publicly express yourselves without feeling shamed." She said.
"He's Sav's history teacher so we are treading carefully for that reason alone." I cant help but to laugh when that part got a reaction from her.
"Oh now that is juicy! Tell me more." She was so eager for details and it was nice to open up and talk about life with her. By the time she got the whole story and I got caught up on her life, she finished up my hair with a nice wash and condition.
I was going to rock my afro, but decided last minute that I wanted twists instead. My hair has grown so long that an afro would be so much to tame.
I got up when she finished and we walked to the side of the salon where Sav and Daveed were waiting.
"I love it! Always so stunning." Sav said and planted a gentle kiss on my lips.
"Thank you. You're the sweetest." I respond.
Sav opens her purse to pay for my hair, but Daveed is already handing Vee his debit card. "I got it."
"You don't have to do that." Sav said.
"You want to experience a man and I want to take care of you two. It's a win-win." He says. Sav must have told him how close we are to Vee for him to be open in front of her. It feels really good to act the part in front of someone outside of our home.
Vee processes the payment and gives him the receipt to sign. When he hands it back she whistles and says, "And he's a big tipper? This might have to be a long term arrangement." We laugh and say our goodbyes.
When we get home, I'm completely amazed by what I see. Sav and Daveed must have spent the rest of the evening after school to set up the living room as if it were an actual movie theater. There are tiny purple lights streamed across the ceiling, like a blanket of stars above our heads. A projector is resting on the coffee table and our favorite wine is resting in a beautiful large dish. I can smell the aroma of food in the air, maybe something made in the crockpot.
"You two must have spent all evening working on this. What's the occasion?" I ask.
"Just something special that we wanted to do for you. Tonight is all about you." Sav said.
"Dinner will be done in about thirty-five minutes. Let's go get a shower and freshen up for the evening." Daveed suggested.
I've got butterflies in my stomach and a throb in another area. A night for my pleasure? Life couldn't get any better.
