OMNISCIENT POV
FRIDAY JULY 18th, 2025

It's been a few days since Q'urans Fourth birthday party and everyone was feeling good around the house, they were going to be having a cook out today for a small family get together with the gang. Sinah wanted to meet Ashanti's new lovers along with Essence new boyfriend.

Clover was currently at work cleaning up her office when her phone rang with a FaceTime call, Looking down she notice it was sacred " hey pa" she answered with a bright smile. He chuckled looking down at her for a split second as he drove. " hey ma!" Khalil and Seraya yelled from the backseat.

" hey my babies, where yall headed?" Clover asked sitting down. " hey pretty, we headed to the farmers market to get some of that sweet corn you like. I just wanted to know if there's anything else I need to add to the list. You left pretty early this morning so I couldn't ask."

" sorry pa, I had to stop by the business to make sure everything was good over there then check on the store too before I came to the Shop." Clover informed Sacred as he pulled up to a red light. " anybody give you problems?"

" Mmcht Pa them young niggas know my body I'll turn that whole motherfucker red before I let somebody play in my face" Clover said with a slight mug making Sacred chuckle. " you right pretty my bad, how you feeling right now" Clover blushed . " I'm okayyyy, but make sure you get double everything Ashanti saying three people that means triple the niggas y'all know yall like to eat." Sacred burst out laughing. " okay pretty I will, make sure you make it home in time or ima come get you myself and it won't be nun nice." Sacred Threatened Clover making her smile, she loved when he threatened her.

" sir yes sir" she playfully saluted him. He blew her a kiss "I love you pretty face"

" I love you more handsome face" she blew him a kiss " I love yall too munchkins!"

The kids looked up as Sacred showed them the phone " I love you too ma!!" They blew her a kiss then went back to playing games on their iPad. Sacred chuckled shaking his head " alright baby be safe"

Clover smiled "these Niggas know my body but okay pa you too!" Sacred laughed hanging the phone up.

Hours later and ten clients later is was closing time and Clover stood up getting ready to leave " knock knock" Niasia said knocking opening the door " why knock if you're gonna walk in" Clover mugged her " girl please, that guy here for you again." Niasia waved her off walking out. Clover rolled her eyes leaving out closing and locking her door.

Clover held a mug on her face as she walked to the front " fuck are you doing here Sammie?" She was confused on why he was here again ever since that day she did his tattoo he been coming around back to back like clock work. " hey to you too Clover."

" again what are you doing here." Clover mug became evident as her eyes began to shift colors. Her and lucky still coexist but she's been chillen lately.

" I just thought I'd stop by and get you lunch and see if that position still open." Clover just stared at him.

"Tell him no" Lucky mumbled. " the position isn't available and you didn't have to stop by we're good."

Sammie frowned feeling his self get angry, it was like no matter what he did he couldn't get Clovers time of day he just wanted to spend time with her. " are you sure??" He continued to ask " im positive Sammie you gotta go because we're closing real soon." Clover said trying to keep lucky at bay, so she wouldn't snap. She didnt want all her hard work in therapy to just go to waste. " fine" Sammie muttered turning and storming out, Clover watched him go as Niasia locked the shop door behind him. " I need you to send an email out tonight about Sammie let everyone know to not let him back in here and if he does document every time he comes around so that i know. Im this close to getting a restraining order against him." Clover said to Niasia " okay boss I can do that he creeps me out anyways." Niasia said going back to her desk to start the email. "Alright im gone, lock up when you leave" Clover said walking towards the back where her car was parked.
