Samaya said, “Bring your A game, girl. I see your friend still sending flowers.”
Jai said, “Yes, girl! These are the old ones. Since I let him smell this muthafucka, he’s been sending flowers on a weekly.”
When Jai went to hug Samaya, she saw the delivery man approaching with a big bouquet of fresh white tulips, knowing who sent them already. “Look at this shit!” Jai whispered to Samaya as she let her go. “You got that soup cooler,” Samaya said as she walked off, and Jai giggled so hard, she teared up.
Jez said, “Bye, Samaya. Seriously, how many dates have you been on with him?”
Jai said, “We went on a few dates. He’s sending flowers before the other ones go bad. Thirsty ass!”
Jez said, “Did you have sex with him? What does thirsty mean?”
Jai said, “I cannot deal with you. Sis, you need to get out more.”
Jez said, “If your ass doesn’t speak proper English. Don’t go around the question.”
Jai said, “We’ve had some good conversations. He’s been to the shop a few times. He’s watched me model my designs, a few movies, and some lunch dates. I already know he wants sex, but who doesn’t?”
Jez said, “Well, he must like something about you. Always sending flowers and candy. Do you think he’s relationship material?”
Jai said, “You already know sex comes easy with male, or female with me. Oh, I let him eat my pussy a few times.”
Jez said, “Oh my gosh, sis! TMI…Next, he’s going to be here cutting fabric.”
Jai said, “Sis, you’re crazy. Let’s step out tonight?”
Jez said, “For something to eat, I hope?”
Jai said, “No! A strip club.”
Jez said, “Hell no! Not my cup of tea.”
Jai said, “Loosen up a li’l bit.”
Jez said, “I’m not that loose. I don’t want to see loose asses shaking all in my face.”
As Jai read the card attached to the flower stick, she smiled. “It must be nice, the way you’re cheesing,” Jez said.
To Jai
I hope these flowers brighten up your day beautiful.
Meet me for lunch at our spot around the corner.
From Chuck
Jez made sure Jai arranged all the orders for pickup with the receipts for each client that were picking up their orders before heading to lunch with Chuck.

Chuck said, “Hey, baby girl! Looking beautiful as always. Come here!”
Jai loved hugging Chuck and smelling his cologne, and the strength of his hug made her pussy wet every time. Chuck picked her up a little bit off her feet, pulling her into him, loving the softness and smell of her skin. Chuck finally got that wet kiss he’s been wanting. He wanted to start fucking in the restaurant but had to snap back into reality.
Man 2 said, “His ass happy as fuck to see her. I think we might need one of my brothers.”
Chad said, “I’ll talk with him! He doesn’t know about the storage unit. He thinks we’re following the girls for a friend over some money she owes.”
*****
Chuck said, “Get up and follow me!”
Jai said, “Oh my gosh! You’re crazy! They’re going to see us!”
Chuck locked the door to the bathroom, picked Jai up like she was a feather, and sat her on the sink. He lifted her skirt and opened her legs as she pretended to be nervous. She was watching his head go in between her legs, and that turned her on every time. His head was moving up, down, side to side, like he didn’t have a bone in his fucking neck. As soon as she squirted, they went and had a beautiful lunch like the lovely flowers he sent to the magnificent tongue he used.

Chad said, “Bro, I hope you don’t fall in love! We’re strictly after the money.”
Man 2 said, “We need a way to distract the other girl! If her sister went that easy, we need to find somebody to holla at her.”
Chuck said, “Y’all didn’t tell me what the stipulations were to this shit! She too fine not to fuck! Fuck that! How many more friends does she have?”
Man 2 said, “Queen is not going! She fucking with that one nigga that be at the club, and I know that for a fact he has money.”

Jai took the papers to the bank and her lawyer, so they could see the business arrangement through.
She was so excited to have a partner now, knowing the money would help her find a factory to make her designs. She could buy more fabric, make more designs, get better materials, and models for fashion week.
She knew some of the top designers’ assistants from France would be there, so she worked hard on these designs.
Jai walked back into the shop, smiling from cheek to cheek, thinking about what she was going to wear tonight to see Samaya. She grabbed a few designs off the rack in the back of the shop that she hadn’t put out yet, and headed for her office. She picked out her outfit for the night, went to the liquor store, then headed home.
She got her workout clothes then headed straight to the treadmill, showered afterward, took a few shots, and got dressed.

She couldn’t find a parking spot anywhere close, so she parked a block down the street, passing a couple on her way toward the club. Trying not to let them notice her looking at them argue, she tried walking faster. When the man pulled the lady’s hair shoving her into the car, she turned around and glanced at his ass. She wanted to keep it moving, but to see that the lady didn’t yell for help irritated her.
Jai said, “Stop hitting women, pussy!”
Woman’s voice said, “Mind your business, bitch!”
Jai said, “Dizzy ass!”
The man said, “Go on, bitch! Before you get popped!”
Jai stuck her middle finger up. “Fuck you!” she shouted. She wanted to turn around and leave, but she wanted to see Samaya do her thang.
She was so pissed that the lady defended him. All she thought about was her mother getting her ass beat, yelling for help. Their mother’s eyes were bruised up one day; then the next day she be hugging and kissing all on their father.
When she approached the door, the attendant looked her up and down as if she was lost. Pretty as Samaya was, she thought she was lost and looked
