I strut down the sidewalk pocketing my free hand, cars zooming past us with the wind in tow.
"I know..." her voice trails off. "I just wanted to check in on you, before heading to my shift at Gabe's. I love you lots! Go kick ass and Have an amazing first day!"
"Carmiya Marie Montgomery! What would I do without you?" I laugh, coming to a stop at the crosswalk.
"Um?...you'll be bored to death." The sass in her voice and Her giggles fuel mine. The Heart of the city had a huge shopping center that housed grocery stores, restaurants, Hair and Nail salons, barber shops—providing the city with every essential need.
"And I love you too." I told her. We hush out our goodbyes quickly before hanging up as I came to a stop.

A multi billion company that houses diverse businesses built from the scratch by Javan Padmore. Hotel management's, and real estate development.
