Lack Of Deceit {Completed}

Chapter 2

Ivena
^^^^^

I woke up to the cries of Amina. She wasn't even in my room but still loud as hell. I sluggishly walked to her room and there was a spider crawling on the wall.

I hit it with a paper towel and threw it away and she instantly stopped crying. Bruh. I was upset because I woke up before my alarm. I decided to get ready for work and dress Mini for daycare.

By the time we made it to the car, Vie was already waiting the car for us. I buckled up Amina and sat in the passenger seat.

I was really tired and could use a nap right about now. In no time, Vie pulled up to the store. I kissed Mini goodbye and dragged my feet into the store. I hate it here.

As I walked into the store, I locked eyes with Jovan as he talked to a construction worker. I quickly looked away and set my things down in the back. I came back out and went to my cashier spot and waited for customers.

I rang up a customer and the next person to come was Jovan.

"Good morning, Ivena. I'm just gonna have these chips and how much for a date with you?" He tried to be smooth.

"First of all, I'm not going on a date with you. Second of all, stop calling me Ivena. That's my grandma's name." I scrunched up my face.

"Okay, Ivy." He smirked and I laughed.

"How about Iva?" I smiled.

"Okay, Iva. So, what about that date?" This nigga was still trying.

"You still talking 'bout this date. I said no." I went back to my serious face.

"Yeah aight." He smirked as I rolled my eyes. I scanned his stuff and he payed for it. There was no way I was about to go on a date with the contractor. He was delusional.

It was 12:00 and it was my lunch time. I never had time to pack lunch. I was so tired, I just decided to take a nap for 30 minutes.

That lasted for about 10 minutes due to Jovan's snooping ass.

"You on lunch?" He asked.

"No, I'm just not doing my job." I sarcastically smiled.

"Where's your food?" He looked around me.

"I don't have time to pack lunch. Anyway, what did you want?"

"I just came to the back for some water." He grabbed a bottle of water and left. I couldn't even go back to sleep now. Oh my fucking gosh.

I groaned at the fact that I couldn't fall back to sleep. I had 7 more hours before I could go pick up my baby and take a nap.

-----

"Amina, get up before I whoop your behind." I empty threatened. She was bawling this morning and I didn't have the time for it. I never spanked Amina but she would stop acting up when I said I would.

"Mommy! I wanna go to sleep." She cried out.

"You can sleep in the car." I carried her to the car as she kicked and screamed. I forced her into her car seat and buckled her up. Vie had got a ride from a friend so I could drive myself.

I unbuckled Mini out the car and she stared having another meltdown because she didn't want to leave. I had to pry her off me and she has a strong ass grip.

A million things ran through my mind after I finally got back into the car. I didn't want to go to work. It was boring and exhausting. I stood there for at least 5 hours a day and the customers doesn't make it any better. I thought about Jovan's propose to take me out. He was probably another hoe who wanted to hook up. That's all these guys want and they'll do anything to do so.

I just wanted a day off.

I literally walk into a fight between the constructions workers. What a great way to start my day.

"Yo, what the fuck?! Do your job!" I yelled at them both and they both walked away. So ghetto. These niggas supposed to make the store look pretty and they making it look ugly. Just stupid.

I huffed to the back and put my bag in my usual spot and went to stand at the cashier. Like I do every motherfucking day.

I wanted to quit so bad. But, I needed that money. More for Mini than me. I had to make sure she had what she needed. If I didn't have her, I would've quit a long ass time ago.

By the time lunch came around, I planned on taking another nap. I didn't need any distractions or some shit. Just a nap.

But did that work out? Of course not. Jovan's bothering ass had to approach me.

"Hey, I just wanted to give you this." He handed me a rose and a salad.

"Why?" I asked suspiciously.

"'Cuz." He shrugged. I rolled my eyes and slowly ate it. It tasted delicious. I haven't had a lunch meal in a while. Like probably never.

"Next time, put some croutons in it and ranch." I said and he laughed, watching me finished the bowl. That shit was so tasty. Better than a whole ass nap.

I didn't mind the food but all he wanted was sex and he wasn't getting it.
