Toni POV

"So I'm not understanding why did it take five damn days for yall to get back." I was down at the warehouse having a meeting with my guys.

"Boss Im telling you it's not us it be them. I don't know you might have to do a meeting with their boss cause they're the ones that's taking forever. I thought they was tryna short us but I checked and made sure."

"Good cause I don't need nomore bodies dropping from now on I need clean smooth trades. Only buss shit when need be. " they nodded. " Now before I let yall go Next month we're making one of the biggest trade this year so far and that's with Colombia. I'm one of their top buyers so I don't need no funny shit you hear me?"

"Yes Boss " they said in unison.

"So Jay you and man man gonna fly down there and make the trade but it's gonna be coming to us on boats so Ty and John y'all gonna be at the docks bout a week later after the trade is made. I want it Smooth and clean understand?"

"Yes boss."

"Good. Now y'all go start clearing them packages downstairs. I'm out."  Walking out of the conference room I realized I didn't bring my phone in there I ran up the stairs to my office and grabbed my keys and phone. Turning it on I realized I had two miss calls from Janet. In the mist of me bout to call Janet back taty starts calling.

"Wassup Pooh. Yall okay."

"Yeah where fine. Mommy said wait what to say again."  I heard Janet say something in the background. "Say it just like that. Mommy said to stay your yellow ass wherever you at since you don't wanna answer the phone. Mommy said that not me."

"Hand your mom the phone." I heard moving

"Hello" she said with an attitude.

"Babe I was in the meeting with guys and my phone was in my office chill."

"Okay whatever." I could tell she was still upset. It's just the hormones.

"I'm on my way now. Yall hungry?"

"I'm good. Taty tell your mama what you want."

"Mama I want that hibachi place by my school."

"Okay you want the regular?"

"Yes please."

"Okay I'll be home." I hung up and drove off. After waiting almost a damn hour I finally got our food and was now on the way home which wasn't far from the house. Pulling into the garage I parked the car and grabbed our food going into the house. "Tat, Babe foods here." Even though Janet said she was good I still got her some food because I know it was just the attitude talking. A few moments later I hear footsteps.

"Finally mama." I heard taty yelled. She came running in the kitchen.

"Did you wash your hands?"

"Of course I did." She said in a duh tone. I handed her food and soda. "Thanks mama."

"You're welcome. Where's your mom."

"In her office. I don't think she likes you right now."

"Girl hush." I mushed her head "and don't let your mother get you a beat Cursing at me like that" I was just playing with her.

"I was just repeating what she said." She laughed. I walked down the hall to Janet's office. Opening the door I seen she was laying on her couch watching tv.

"Babe." She lift her head to look at me and turned back around."mamas what's wrong." I sat on the couch next to her.

"Nothing."she said with a tude. I pulled her into my lap.
