*Khloe and Amber in the MM*

Khloe

I woke up to the smell of breakfast being cooked. I got up to wash my face and brush my teeth. I figured Jermaine thought shit was cool cause I didn't stop him from being close to me lastnight but that ain't mean nothing to me. I walked back in the room to check my phone and I had a text from Amber seeing if I was still coming to work today. Amber had started working at my salon two years ago and we've been close ever since. I didn't want to put up with my stupid ass boyfriend today so work would actually be the best idea.

After I did my hygiene thing I went through my closest looking for something nice to wear. I was gonna wear a brown crop top with a pair of brown tights to match. I hadn't figured out which shoes yet but it'll come to my mind before I leave. I needed to do my make up and touch up my hair. I felt arms wrap around me as I continued to fix my hair.

"I am doin somethin can you move!!"

"Whats ya problem now?"

"Ain' nobody gotta prolem just move dammit,"

"Ya always walking around wit ya panties up ya ass fa no reason what ya mad about,"

"You thinkin its fine to come in my house four hours late after ya stupid ass said you'd be home in a hour. I kno' you not working over time Jermaine."

"All ya do is bitch all day for nothing how you gone fix ya lips to tell me where I was at,"

"You kno' what, it don't even matter anymoe don't worry about it!" I pushed passed him making my way to the door with him right behind me hot on my tail.

"Naa you wanna walk around wita attitude over me being at work so lets worry about it... Lets discuss it,"

I stopped what I was doing and searched his face for answers. He looked at me hard than looked away. I wasn't gonna go here with him today. I grabbed a pair of heels and my purse heading downstairs.

*******

"Look who came to work today!" Amber yelled as she came to hug me.

"Girl please, its only been two days." I returned the hug making my way to my office.

"Sooooo hows everything been going,"

"Same ole shit just a different day," I shrugged my shoulders and looked away from her looking at the stack of papers on my desk. I wanted to have a good day but I think thats gonna be hard with the fact Amber not going let me get out this office if I don't explain to her whats going on.

"Whats going on Khloe...Is it Jermaine,"

"Yeah...." I dropped eye contact and toke a seat.

"He accusing you of cheating again?"

"Nah but I think he is. For the last couple of days he been coming home late saying he doin overtime."

"Lets do some investigatin... girl we can catch this nigga cause one thing I'm not going have is my bitch walkin around being made a fool of. You to damn fine for that." We both shared a laugh.

"Now how are we gonna do this amber," I had to admit it was a good idea despite the fact I was worried about the outcome even tho I wanted the truth regardless.

"First of all you can call his job and find out if its overtime hes really doing. Than we can go from there,"

"What the hell! Is anybody here!!" We were so into our plan we didn't hear the sound when the door open.

I went to see who it was while Amber searched the number to the downtown warehouse that Jermaine worked at.

"Welcome to beyoutiful, where you can be you be youthful because your beautiful!"

"I need to set an appointment for my neice this Saturday she has prom,"

"Will 6:00p.m. be good enough for you,"

"Yes. Thats great. Btw my name is Claudia Brown I'm sorry."

"Nice to meet you Claudia I'm Khloe Carter the owner. Just sign your name and I look forward to seeing you guys saturday." She looked at me like I had tens heads but continued to sign the slip without saying another word.

"Is there a problem, you looked at me like I said somethin wrong,"

"Ooh no sweetie! Only if you knew. But I'll see you saturday at 6' o clock have a great day."

I stood there confused as hell to what she meant by "only if I knew" but I brushed it off and went back to see what Amber had came up with.

"That was weird,"

"What was weird Khloe? You ready to call the warehouse,"

"This lady by the name Claudia Brown came and made an appointment for her neice this saturday she has prom. When I told her my name and that I was the owner she looked at me funny so I asked was there a problem but what got me was when she said only if I knew and walked out."

"WTF! Was that bitch ugly? She was probably just being a hater! I mean look at you, look at the store, I mean loook at me. We successful! Business is great, is typical shes a hata."

I laughed it off because Amber was right but it didn't mean it wasn't on my mind anymoe because it was. Maybe Jermaine not the only person I need to be investigatin.

"Okay anyways call the number for his job amber I'll talk." She dialed the number putting it on speaker.

"Landshire Distribution, Brittany Parker speaking how may I help you."

"Uh Hi this is Anetta Sterling, Jermaine Sterlings aunt is my nephew at work today?"

"Give me a second to check....No ma'am he called out an hour ago!"

"Are you sure Ms. Brittany he just left not even a hour ago he has this new schedule that has been requiring him to do overtime for the last couple days."

"Overtime? I'm sorry but Jermaine has one shift that has been the same for years 8:30a.m. to 6:30p.m. and overtime is only for weekends not week days."

"That can't be positive. My nephew told me yall been putting him on overtime."

"Well ma'am maybe your nephew works at another warehouse I would know I'm the watch."

"Alright. Thank you have a good day."

"Is there anything else I can do for you?"

"No you did enough. Bye bye," with that being said I hung up the phone. I'm not gonna lie I was upset because I've never gave Jermaine a reason to lie to me but its like thats all he know how to do.

"Its okay Khloe lets not jump conclusions. All we can do is figure out what he really is doing."

"But when I went to go through his phone last night his password was changed. How you expect me to just relax."

"Go home, take a shower, and relax but don't act suspicious. I'll be over tomorrow and when he leave the house we'll follow him."

I got up gathering my things not saying a word. I had so many thoughts going on through my head I didn't know how to feel. I hugged Amber goodbye and made my way out the door.
