"Fuck bro!" I sighed getting off the phone another job fell through and this shit was starting to get tiring

"Again?" Trin asked coming into my room I nodded "Yeah" I sighed "Damn T" Trinity sat beside me I groaned falling back on my bed

"This shit sucks bro"

"I know love but you gotta keep trying" Trinity rubbed my arm I huffed "I should've stuck with my original plan and immediately got into my career after college"

After I graduated Caine swore up and down I didn't need to get a job and that I would be fine without one because I had him

"Well everything happens for a reason love, don't stress too much about it"

"Regardless you always gon have a place to stay whether that's with me or your parents" Trinity continued to preach

"I know but still" I sighed sitting up again "You have work today?" I looked over to her asking she nodded "Yeah I have a few clients today"

I nodded "Okay, I have another interview today with some NBA basketball team"

"Well which one there's only two out here, Rockets and Mavericks" Trinity asked I sighed "Um Rockets I'm pretty sure" I frowned thinking hard

"What time?"

"One" I picked up my phone looking at the time seeing it was 12:05 "Lemme start getting ready now"

"You interviewing for a sports trainer right?"

"Mhm, I get to work on niggas all day" I chuckled picking up the outfit that I had laid out for the interview

"Aye I would take that job any day, You working on athletes at that"

"Have you applied for any other sports teams like with football and baseball?" Trinity asked me I shook my head "No but I will be soon if I can't get a job with them"

Trinity chuckled "Well good luck sis, Imma see you tonight"

"Okay! Be safe Trin" I yelled as she walked out my room "You too!" She yelled back I sighed walking into the guest bathroom "You are getting this job" I spoke to myself with confidence

"Daddy! You said we could play barbies!" Riley whined I smacked my lips "Hold up RiRi, I gotta make a quick call"

Riley whined throwing a tantrum causing me to lift an eyebrow at her also giving her a certain stare, once she caught onto my stare she quickly got herself together

"Hello, This is Erica Real Estate how can I help you!" I heard a preppy voice come through the phone I scrunched my face up

"Hello um I was interested in looking for agent to help me find some property for business" I spoke into the phone watching Riley play with her barbie

"Yes! I can direct you to one of our agents."

"Perfect" I heard the phone disconnect before I heard elevator music I pulled the phone away from my ear putting it on speaker sighing

I was investing in property to start my business, a jewelry store

I am pushing 28 and I wasn't getting any younger, I had no plans staying in the game especially with Riley around and getting older I didn't want to end up dead somewhere
