Guy Next Door

Chapter 1

Staring at the computer, getting my inventory together, I let out a huge yawn. It was currently 5:30 in the morning and I had come in early to take inventory.  I own "Simply Beauty" beauty bar. My salon or beauty bar as I call it has two-stories. On the top story is where you can get a massage and wax. The bottom story was something different.

The bottom story was where I hired 3 stylists, 2 nail techs, and 2 makeup artist. Myself personally loved makeup but I'm usually only here to make sure paperwork is complete and inventory is done. Besides getting beautiful here you could also buy my products. Money don't stop here. I own my own skincare line, along with my own hair care and makeup. I also sale wigs, bundles and all kinds of hair products. No, I'm not global yet but I hope soon that I am.

Ding! I heard the doorbell and I know it cant be anyone but my best friend Meg. She's a stylist here plus she runs this place when I'm not here. " Jrue? I just knew yo ass was gone come in here today." She semi yelled. "Bitch why are you so loud" I said while mugging her." I only came in to get a count of everything. I'm going to the warehouse later to restock on what we need so I'm trying to be accurate."

"Will you please get with everyone and let me know what everyone needs by 9 please?" I begged ready to leave. I had been there for about an hour already. " you know I got you girl" she said as she smiled. " you know you owe me for this right? So that means tonight we're going out and we're shaking our ass" she said.

I gave her a crazy look."yeah ok I hear you" I groaned. And with that I gathered my things and left.

The ride home was quiet. It was about 6:00 a.m. That meant I had about 30 min til I got home which gave me an hour to run around the neighborhood, and hour to shower and get dressed and then I would head to the warehouse to get everyone orders together. As I pulled in my driveway I noticed a moving truck across the street, 2 houses down from mine. I didn't realize someone bought crazy Susan's house. That bitch was bonkers.

She called the police because a stray cat walked in her yard. I just know her husband Tony has his hands full. Getting out my car I walked in my house setting the security alarm and going upstairs to change clothes. I settled on black Nike sports bra and some black spandex shorts and got my AirPods together for my morning run. Heading downstairs I stretched a little, got my playlist together and headed toward the door. Switching on the alarm I was ready to run or jog shall I say.
