Soul Ties | Sequel to Love At Last

Twenty-Seven

Zhavia
I jumped up out of my sleep and checked the time seeing that I overslept I hopped out of the bed and ran into the bathroom. I washed my face then I brushed my teeth and quickly made my way out of the room and over to Kiarra room first I opened the door and she wasn't in her room so I went to Kyra room and she wasn't there lastly I went to Kj room and he wasn't there. I made my way downstairs and went towards the kitchen seeing that the light was off. I heard the front door open and close I walked to the foyer seeing Keegan.

"Are you okay baby?"

"Where's the kids I overslept."

"You didn't oversleep I took them to school I turned your alarm off so you can get some rest."

"Oh."

"Today it's all about you go get pampered and relax I'll handle all of the household chores as well as getting the kids."

"Okay."

"It's been a minute since you had time to yourself so for now on you'll have me time at least 3 times a week."

"But-," Keegan cut me off.

"But nothing go ahead and shower I'll have breakfast ready for you I didn't know what time you was going to wake up so I just cooked enough for the kids."

"Okay."

"I love you Zhavia."

"I love you too Keegan."

Keegan walked over to me and kissed me then I made my way upstairs to the bathroom.

After I was showered and dressed I made my way back downstairs and into the kitchen.

"Have you decided on what you want to do again?"

"I'm not sure honestly."

"Okay it'll come to you baby."

"I hope so."

"After you eat breakfast I hired a driver for you and whoever you want to invite and spend your day with."

"Okay."

I opened my laptop and unlocked it going straight to my emails.

"Babe."

"Yeah."

"What do you think about me selling candles?"

"If that's something you really want to do then go for it."

"You sure."

"Yeah after what happened to you 2 years ago we both agreed that you'll be a stay at home mom and I'll handle all of the bills and you take care of the kids and the house now it's time for you to finally follow your passion."

"Okay."

I got started on doing research about candles I got my notepad off the coffee table along with the pen and started taking notes.

Shawn Jr.
I made my way upstairs to my room to brush my teeth and to take a shower. I walked in and Kendra looked at me from the tv I ignored her stare and made my way into the bathroom. We got into it last night and words was exchanged so instead of still fighting with her I made my way downstairs to the living room and went to sleep on the couch. Once I finished brushing my teeth and washed my face I walked out of the bathroom going into the closet to find me something to wear.

"Sj."

I looked back at Kendra.

"Yeah."

She walked further into the closet and wrapped her arms around me.

"I'm sorry about last night."

I turned and looked at her.

"You know that I'm not cheating on you I'm here with you we're having a baby I love you every part of you I don't care how much weight you gain it's worth it because you're carrying my child the life we created together."

She remained quiet so I continued.

"The only reason why I didn't want to have sex with you it's not because you've gained weight it's because I have a meeting today with Nike about designing my own shoe."

"Why you didn't tell me?"

"I wanted to wait until I sign the contract before I share any news with you starting my own clothing line this year hasn't been easy once I stopped teaching so the transition for me hasn't been easy but I've been managing."

"But we're in a relationship so I need to know things like this."

"And let you worry and stress yourself out and you're with child hell no."

I have had a few sales with my clothing line nothing too major I know starting my own business wasn't going to be easy but after getting fired from my job because of the color of my skin made me realize that I don't want to work for anybody I want to work for myself. My phone went off and I pulled my phone out of my basketball shorts.

"Did you just make a sale?"

"Not one sale baby 300 and counting."

"What?"

I turned my phone around letting Kendra see.

"Oh wow baby this is amazing."

"Listen I'm going to go and shower you get on the laptop and keep track of the sales for me okay."

"Okay."

"And after my meeting with Nike I'm coming back home and get started on getting these orders processed."

"Alright baby."

Kendra walked out of the closet I found me something to wear and I walked out of the closet and laid my outfit on the bed.

300 orders or sales might not be a lot to some people but for me with my small business is a lot and means everything to me. Soon my business is going to get big and bigger and bigger which means more money for me and my family. I already got an LLC for my business as well as a trademark for it as well so no one can come after me and say I stole their idea or name for my business. Plus whenever I file taxes I can file my business on it as well. My next step is to probably get into realty and find some fixer upper homes or apartments and work on them then flip and sale them as well as have a few of them as Airbnbs.
