Joi's POV

It Was Now 11:54 Pm And Boss And I Had Just Finished Our Meal Discussing All Of The Editing That Needs To Be Done To Complete Our Magizine Cover. After We Established That, We Walked To His Car. But As Soon As He Was Opening My Door Someone Tapped Me. Boss Had A Side Ways Look On His Face So I Was Wondering Who Could This Be. I Slowly Turned Around To Face The Man That Nearly Knocked Me Over. He Was Grinning Showing His Pearly Whites.
"Yes?" I Asked Confused.
"Hey. Im The Guy Who Had The Incident Over By The Bathroom With You. I Was Just Coming To Ask Were You Okay Cause I Never Asked Before You Went All Hood On A Nigga." He Talked So Smoothly It Would've Made Any Girl Give It Up The First Night. But Not I. Definitely Not My Cup Of Tea. "Oh Yea. I'm Okay. Thanks For Asking And The Name Is Joi." I Glanced Over At Boss Who Was Turning Red. Not By Shyness But By Jealousy. I Smirked Then Continued On With This Stranger. I Wasn't Listening To What He Was Saying But I Interrupted Him To Ask For His Name. " It's Jermain. But Most People Call Me Jr. Cuss I'm A Junior Of My Father." He Said. But Was Rudly Cut Off By Mr. Jones. "People Like Who? Your Gang Members? Your Statistics?" Jr's Face Hardened And I Saw His Fist Balled. "Nigga What Was That?" He Got In His Face. "Look I Think You Better Go Before It Be A Problem Only God Can Get you Out Of." Mr. Jones Said Taking A Step Forward. "What You Gon' Do?" Jr Said Still Standing With His Chest Out. I Quickly Got In Front Of Them And Tried To Break Up The Argument. "I Think You Better Leave Now Before I Call The Cops To Come Arrest Your Ghetto Ass." Mr. Jones Said. I Kind Of Got Affended Because For One I Was Raised In The Ghetto And For Two Who The Hell is He To Judge Someone When He Wasn't Born With A Silver Spoon In His Mouth. "Nigga I'll Show You Ghetto." Jr Said Moving Me Out The Way. Omg. Its About To Get Real. My Mama Always Told Me Never Get In Between When Two Men Are Fighting. Shit I'm Already Small Enough. I Bagged Up And I Saw The 4 Guys Jr Was With. I Ran Over To Them To Ask For Some Assistance. They Said Yes And We Ran Back Over To An Angry Jr On Top Of Mr. Jones. As Much As I Wanted To Laugh I Knew This Was A Serious Matter. I Pulled Mr. Jones Up Off The Ground As The Other Dudes Tried To Calm Down Jr. I'm Tripping Off Of How You Got So Much Mouth And Don't Know How To Bag Your Shit Up. Smh. It Took About 15 Mins To Calm Boss Down And Clean Him Up. Just As I Was Done, Jr Walked Up To Me. "Hey. I'm Sorry About What Happened. I Just Wanted To Come Talk To You. I Didn't Know He Was Your Husband." He Said Apologetically. I Made A Confuse Face And Said, " Husband? I Don't Remember No Man Coming To Me And Putting A Ring On My Finger." I Said With A Chuckle. It Looked Like His Face Brightened When I Said That. But Maybe It Was Just My Wishful Thinking. "So I Can Get Your Number Right?" He Asked Out Of Confidence while Holding Out His Phone. I Just Smiled And Put My Number In His Phone. "I'll Catch You Later. I Have To Go. Hit Me Up Someday." I Said Walking Away Returning To The Car. I Got In And Boss Was Just Sitting There Listening To Jhene Aiko- Comfort Inn Ending. Sapp Ass Nigga. When I Slammed The Door I Brung His Attention Back. He Buckled Up And Pulled Off.

-45 Mins Later-
The Ride Home Was Quite. But I Managed To Get Through It. Maybe Its Just Me But I Don't Like Riding In A Car In Silence. Its Awkward. Soon As Mr. Jones Pulled Up To My House I Took No Time To Get Out Before I Could Get One Of His Smart Remarks. But To My Surprise He Didn't Say Anything. Not Even GoodNight. But Its All Good. I Finally Made It To The Door But As I Was Turning My Key In, Boss Yelled "I'll Mail You Your Paycheck." And With That He Pulled Off. Let Me Take A Breath Because I Know I Didn't Hear What I Just Think I Heard. "Mail Me My Paycheck!?" I Semi-Yelled. He Got Me Fucked All The Way Up If He Think Firing Me Gon' Be That Easy. Hell No. My Mama Ain't Raise No Fool. I Guess I'll Be Seeing Him And All His Important People Tomorrow. I Got The Perfect Plan In Mind......
