"Shit Leah. Take it easy. I'm tender-headed girl." Jamon said hissed while Leah did his hair.

"Yeah, Leah. Take it easy on my bro," Javion said, making Leah stop, looking at him.

"Look, do you want your damn hair done or not? Riley isn't helping you anymore, and for some reason, you don't want My'esha to do it. So I'm your only option," Leah said, making him sigh, nodding.

"Great. Now put your head down so I can part. Since this is your hair, triangles or squares?"

"What the hell are you even talking about?" Elijah asked, making Jamon and the girls chuckle.

"Hold up. You don't know what that means? Black card revoked immediately," Junior said, making the others laugh while he just glared.

"Leave him alone," India said, coming into the room. "Elijah, it means the part. When she parts his dreads, she asking what shape does she want to part it in."

"Thanks, Aunt India. All the rest of you fucks can suck a dick."

"Awww, is the little baby mad?" Mariah said in a baby voice, making him glare at her.

Jamon chuckled. "I want squares, Leah," He said, making her nod as she continued his hair.

"Don," Leon said as he approached X.

"What, Leon?"

"I want to let you know this as my Don and best friend, uh I proposed to My'esha about a week ago."

"A WEEK AGO?! WHAT THE HELL, LEON! Why didn't you tell anyone?"

"Because I wanted us to have a tiny bit of privacy cause yall mufuckas are nosy. Wanna know where somebody at all times and shit. I'm surprised yall didn't recognize that big ass rock on her finger," Leon said, making X chuckle.

"How you been in this Mafia for a whole year now and still ain't used to it, Leo. You know its-"

"To keep us safe, I know. I know."

"Yeah, and I should whoop your ass for fucking cutting me off, but as I said, we do all of the security and everything to keep us safe. Sometimes we're not lucky," Xerxes told him, making Leon nod.

"When did you buy this ring? Because I sure didn't know that also mean my brother hasn't been doing his job."

"I went by myself. I had all my trackers on, though, X. I've been saving my money and called one of my friends back in Petersburg so she could help me design it."

"Wait, you did all this shit when you could have come to me? Leo, you know Eli, and I dabble in jewelry designing. As I said, it's a curse when both of your parents can draw it rubbed off on all their children in some way. Plus, we have a personal jeweler. Anyway, when did all of this get done?"

"I know, man, but you have a lot on your plate. I didn't want to bother you. It was about a month ago. I wasn't just blowing my money on stupid shit X. I'm surprised you didn't ask about all the purchases I been making."

"I might be your Don, but I don't work in finances. I don't do fucking numbers unless it has someone to do with measures of medicine. What you do with your money doesn't have shit to do with me." He said, making Leon nod his head again.

"Do you want to see it?"

"Hell no!" Xerxes said, making Leon stared until he started to laugh. "Damn, you look like you wanted to cry for a moment... Shit show me the fucking ring bitch," X said, making Leon pull out his phone, showing him.

My'esha smiled as she ran her hands through Riley's hair. "What you want today?"

"Uhm, nothing really. X says he's not washing my hair this time, and I don't feel like doing it myself. I'm too pregnant for all that shit," Riley said, making My'esha laugh.

"Riley, your ass is only three almost five months."

"And? Look at my fucking stomach! I'm already fucking big," Riley said, rubbing her hand across her baby bump with a smile.

My'esha smiled, taking off her ring and placed it on the vanity as Riley's eyes widen. "Bitch you ain't finna just skip like I didn't see that big ass rock. Did Leon propose?" Riley asked. My'esha nodded shyly, making Riley let out a squeal.

"When did he do it? Last night?" Riley asked as My'esha began escorting her over to the wash chair.

Riley stared at her as she leaned her head back in the sink. "Lean your head back for me, and he did it a week ago," My'esha said as she turned on the sink and began wetting Riley's hair.

"You better be lucky my fucking hair is wet, or I would've kicked your ass," Riley said. My'esha bust out laughing as she started to put shampoo in her hand then placing it in Riley's hair.

"Are you looking to get married soon, or do yall want to wait?"

"It doesn't have to be too soon, but I'm thinking in the next two months. U-Um Riley, can I ask you something?"

"Hmm?" Riley asked, eyes dropping as My'esha scratched her hair. It was feeling good as fuck, and she was about to have My'esha wash it for a least another 10 minutes.

"Ri wake up," My'esha let out a chuckle. "Can our people come here? They don't have to stay, of course, but I want them at my wedding. Especially mine and Leon's mom."

"I would say yes, but you know I have to ask X. He would be okay with your parents, but I think he might be skeptical of your friends since he's never met them, but I'll convince him."

"And how?" My'esha raised a brow.

"Just trust me. X is weak to my temptation but don't tell him I told you, though," She said, making My'esha laugh.

"ADRIEL!"

"What do you want, woman?! Why are you yelling?"

"I want to ask you something. You know Leon and My'esha are engaged?"

"Yeah, Leon told me earlier, but what you have to do with it? Did you know and no tell me?"

"WHAT? NO! Right, but my question," Riley said.

"What is your question, Ri?" Xerxes asked, pulling her down with him rubbing her belly, feeling one of the babies kick.

"Did you feel that!" He asked, making Riley smile, nodding her head kissing him.

"They going to be daddy's babies like Xylia and Xavier. I'm ready to see what they are."

"No gender reveal?"

"No. Now my question... My'esha wanted me to ask you if her mom, Leon's mom, and a couple of her friends come to the wedding?"

"How much is a couple, Babygirl?"

"Four," Riley nervously laughed.

"Seriously, Ri?"

"Pleaseeeeeee, Adriel? I'll make it up to you, X," Riley said, kissing his neck, making him suck in a sharp breath while she smirked.

"Riley, I know what you're doing," X shook his head as Ri sucked on his neck, creating hickeys.

"Is it working?"

"Unfortunately. Yes," He said, flipping them over.
