"the truck comes tuesday every week like we planned why is it a difference now?" I say to the trucking company who is telling me they wont be able to help transfer my shipment for the week.

"like i said Ms. Diamond we have a lot of issues going on with the company right now" the lady on the other line says.

"and when were yall going to tell me this?? i need my clothes shipped to me, if we work together why don't y'all communicate?" I ask annoyedly.

"im sorry for the miscommunication, we have people who handles contacting the businesses we work with, i guess it hasn't gotten around to you yet" She says.

I chuckle in frustration, "the day before my shipment? ok. im done working with yall real shit" I say then hang up; slamming the phone in the process.

I rub my temple cause my head is pounding, Maddie hasn't been working this past week cause she's on a trip with her family. So ive been handling emails, complaints, etc. basically all the things she handles.

Even with the brand deals, photoshoot, meetings i have to deal with. my mind feel like it's about to explode.

In this moment right now i really want to be laying up under Malik with Nia beside us, chillin like we use to do.

I was taken out my thoughts when someone walks into my office, that someone being Imani and Jada. they stay in my store more than me. They deadass come to my store even when im not here and hang with the employees.

"hey bitchhh" Imani says loud and extra like always.

"please Imani. my head hurts" I scrunch my face up.

Jada chuckles. "i told you she wasn't gon be in the mood" she says.

Imani rolls her eyes. "yea i should've listened to you and stayed my ass home" She sits down in the chair thats across from my desk.

"no stay, im sorry. im just so stressed right now" I say.

" what's wrong?" They ask at the same time.

"just a lot on my schedule, i feel like im drained" I say truthfully.

"have you ate today?" Jada looks at me concerned.

I shake my head. "no, i haven't eaten in like 2 days nothing sounds or looks appetizing to me" I groan.

they both look at me like im crazy.

"that's why you look so boney" imani scrunch her eyes at me; examining my body.

i roll my eyes. "girl shut up, im the same size" I say.

"okay" Imani puts her hands up in defense.

"but on some real shit, you need to eat D. that's not okay that you haven't eaten in 2 days" Imani says.

"i know, my dad told me. but if i try to eat i feel nauseous. i don't feel like dealing with that" I say truthfully.

They both look at each other and back at me.

"what?" I roll my eyes at them.

"ion wan be that person but..you think you could be pregnant?" Jada gives me the side eye.

I knew that was comin, that's why i didn't want to tell them i was getting nauseous.

"im not pregnant. i know my body & it's not that" I say.

"how you know? you never been pregnant before. you don't know how your body will react. & from the looks of it your having symptoms of pregnancy" Imani says.
