DeShawn and I got busy. We bought a building which I created the plans to renovate it how I wanted it to be, Shawn hired some men to carry it out. Of course, I helped with painting, cleaning, etc. because I wanted to be involved, and Shawn was there every step of the way. It didn't take long until it was done. All that was left to do was furniture and decor.
We sat on the carpeted floor together, and I was attempting to design the logo which I can't do without having a name as well as thinking of a name for the business while Shawn helped me out with the necessary documents on his laptop.
"You think of a name yet??" He asked.
"Nope." I answered, popping the 'p'.
"Ano your somo?? Wah bout your name??"
"Mih want somo weh ave meaning." I said passionately like a poet.
"Your name nuh meaningful??"
I sighed.
"I wanna do this in honor of your sister. I want her to be a part of this...her middle name is Serene, right?? Umm...Serene Haven...!? Yes, Serene Haven!!" I got super excited and turned my attention back to my iPad.
"Nae..." I was pulled into a tight hug. I felt a tear fall unto my bare shoulder, and I hugged him tighter, I could feel him shoulders trembling but heard nothing.
"DeShawn..." We sat there in each other's embrace until he calmed down. Afterward, we finished up everything we had to do before going home.
Why them two likkle wikked here a call me??
I ignored the several phone calls from Zyon and Lucian, and it got annoying the point that I had to turn on DND. Blocking them would be too sudden, but soon, I will do that.
The next day, all the furniture arrived, and Deshawn, along with some men, moved them to wherever I wanted them to be placed. At the reception, there will be a sitting area with a plasma TV on the wall and display shelves with prices and descriptions of such product below each product for walk in customers, then there will be the front desk where I will be standing. Behind that will be shelves where orders will be stored for pick up customers and there's a door behind the counter leading to a store room, a staff bathroom, an office for me which had a small bed inside and the room where we will be making all products with several appliances inside.
"Did I mention that I wanna sell raw ingredients too??" I whispered to DeShawn. He nodded.
"Yes, B. That's why there's an extra room for that, and you can put up a sign with the prices at the front desk." He replied.
I nibbled on my bottom lip a little before looking back at him and pointed to an empty area.
"We can install some shelves there so fih put them on there, like an aisle business." He looked to where I was pointing and nodded.
"We can order some right now."
"Think we can put that up today??" I asked.
"We can eno, we a put up the cameras today too." He replied, then went to talk to the men.
As for security, we had bulletproof and anti-theft windows, grills on the outside of the side, and back windows. Even the door was cool tinted and all, it could only be opened from the inside by pressing a button that was behind the front desk with this, no one can try to run off without paying, to keep suspicious looking men out and other situations. Also, I had a licensed firearm and an alarm system connected to two of the nearest police stations.
We had a customer bathroom as well.
One day, I saw that there was a whole floor upstairs, but I didn't know what to do with it as yet.
I left to sort out the decor, Jeremy helped me with the theme and buying things. Now, he's here today to help me arrange it all. We chose black and beige. It looked great. It matched the wallpaper, for we decided not to paint patterns or anything on the white walls just in case we want to redecorate it.
Afterward, Jeremy and I sat down and set up the store's social media pages, we made a YouTube channel, Instagram page, a Facebook page, and we set up Whatsapp business account. We began to share it on our personal Instagram pages and tagged the business page in our bios.
We left and went home around 8 pm. I laid in bed beside DeShawn beaming with happiness.
I'm a step closer to my goals.
