A month later.

Risha was finally able to open up her clothing store. It took hard work to do the design , get licenses, find workers, buyers, etc. It took Risha and Crystal a whole month to make sure her big opening would be like that.

4pm (Grand Opening)

As Risha and Crystal stand in front of the door, seeing everybody from the strip club come and support. They both cut the bow, jumping for joy and hugging each other. They were so happy to see it all come together. Everybody claps and congratulate them taking pictures. Risha opens up the door, letting everybody go inside to check out the shop.

Risha takes a deep breath "Ugh we did it," she said cheesing.

"I'm so proud of you. This was all you, I'm just here to help." Crystal said, kissing Risha on the cheek.

They walked in seeing her employees get to work already, making sells left and right. Crystal had made drink and light food for the guest. Devon walks in, looking around . He noticed Crystal talking to one of the girls from the strop club. He walks over, grabbing her up and taking her to the back.

Crystal and Devon have broken up to the fact that she wasn't allowing him to cheat when he wanted and come home. He hated she move on with life and was done being just his bitch.

"Devon not right now. What are you doing here?" Crystal asked

"So this what we doing?" He asked

"We been done I'm done working for you."

He grabs her neck squeezing it. "You ain't done until I sa you done"

She pushed his hand off her neck "Just because you found me in a bad spot and helped me out don't mean I owe you anything.  You've done that yourself. You need to leave" she said

He pulls out his gun pointing it at her. "SO we done?" He asked

"Devon please...

"Don't say my fucking name" He Saud seeing Risha come in.

"Devon go right now. I already called the police." Risha said scared for her. "We have guest. Don't do this right now."

Devon puts his gun away walked passed Risha bumping her looking back at Crystal "I'll be to find you" He said

Risha sees him walk out. She looks at Cyrstal in tears. "I don't know what to do now. He's crazy" Crytal said

"You need to get a protective order on his ass"

"Risha what is that gone do?" She said "He don't give a fuck about going back to prison"

"Come stay with me for some days. But I need you to get it together. We can close down a little early okay?" Risha said

"Okay"

They walk back into the party like nothing happened. Risha notice the guy she seen at Starbucks. She walks over seeing him looking around with jut two of his body guards this time. "Spying on me?" Risha asked walking up to him.

"So this you?" He asked seeing her in this nice custom dress of hers.

"Yeah this me. How you find...

"I owe a shoe store across the street. Seen allot of people over here. And I see some of my clients in here as well." He said looking down at her.

"It's a clothing store. People need clothes to match they shoes right?"

He laughs. "You right. But I like how you did the place. Nice clothing line.  How long you've been making clothes?"

"Since I was 12 years old. I never seen myself even doing this. But here I am"

"It's a good investment. If you start selling heels too it'll help out as well. Maybe we can do business togther"

Risha folds her arm raising her eye brow. She was curious "I'm sorry, but what exactly do you do?"

Keith laughs "I've have plenty of businesses. Anything you can name I might have partnered or put some time into helping."

"And what else?"

"Asking too Many questions...

"Aye boss we have to go" He partner said

"I'll be out in a mintue get to car to come around" Keith said

"Looks like you have to go" Risha said

"Let me take you out to dinner?" Keith asked

"I'm sorry, but dating ain't my thing and I sure not looking just fuck on anyone" Risha.

"Who said anything about dating or fucking? I said Dinner. And I'll take you somewhere you've never been? Plus it's food. Who turns down food?" He said staring at Risha as they both laughed. "Right. So let me take you out."

"Okay. When?"

"I'll send you a text. You just let me know alright?" He said Touching her hand walking away.

"Wait. How you get my number?" She asked walking towards him.

He stop turning towards her. He smiles "You ain't hard to find. I'll shoot you a text" He said walking towards his car. His body guard opens his door shutting it behind him. Risha continues to stare in confusion as they drove away.
