"Where you at, MaMa." Desmond spoke over the phone, smiling when Harmony's face came into the camera.

"I'm texting the groupchat to see what we're doing today since it's Valentine's Day. Why? What's wrong?" Harmony answered, staring at herself in the mirror with the phone in her hand.

"I won't be in Chicago next week, but I wanted to know if I could take you out to make up for it." He confessed, his smile growing larger when she giggled.

"So a date? How do you know if I have a man or not, huh? You're just going right for it." She teased as she went to the message thread with Aseem.

"Well, do you? You gotta man?" He asked, bracing himself for any answer. A woman as beautiful as her clearly had male attention, and she could have whoever she wanted.

Harmony stared at the message thread in disappointment; it had been an entire day since she heard from Aseem, which was unusual for him.

"Nope. Not at all." She shrugged, sending a fifth text message to Aseem, ultimately cursing him out before blocking his number. He was officially a no call no show at the moment.

"So yeah, it's a date.?" He smiled, and she playfully rolled her eyes as she huffed.

"Since you keep bothering me— no, I'm just joking. But yes. It's a date." She assured, propping the phone on her dresser that had a mirror connected to it.

Desmond stared at Harmony while she searched for a potential outfit in case Remedy and Kris agreed to plans for the day. "When yo birthday, Moni?" He asked, which caused her to glance at the camera.

"May 11th." She responded with a smile, her excitement for her twenty-second birthday sparking up.

"Okay, fasho. Well, I gotta get to makin' some moe' music. Be safe and stay pretty, MaMa. Check the cashapp too." He smirked, ending the FaceTime call when she blew a kiss at him.

Just as she received a notification from cashapp that she received a $2,000 payment from Skilla Baby that noted 'Happy Valentine's Day,' an incoming Group FaceTime call began, and she quickly answered it.

"Hey, Moni." Remedy smiled in the camera, sitting her phone against the vanity mirror.

"Hey, Remedy. Are we doing something together for Valentine's Day or what?" Harmony asked as she adjusted the silk bonnet on her head.

"If by together you mean a work gathering then yeah." Remedy replied, tying the white robe around her naked body.

"What do you mean?" Harmony's eyebrows furrowed in confusion, and Remedy paused to glare at the camera.

"Check the groupchat that Durk made last night, girl." Remedy reminded, causing Harmony to tap onto the muted groupchat message thread.

"Meet up at the club at 7pm. We goin' out to eat and havin' a party afterwards." Harmony read the message from Durk aloud.

"This is some bullshit. I don't wanna spend love day with their asses. The club is enough." She complained, kissing her teeth.

"Well, these niggas unpredictable. They ain't squares like Donny ass, so I ain't even fina try them until I know who I'm dealin' wit'." Remedy expressed as she carefully applied makeup to her face.

"Anyways, what's goin' on wit' you and yo cousin?" She curiously asked, which caused Harmony to roll her eyes.

"The bitch ain't talking to me because she's upset with Von's decision. I'll just leave it at that because I don't wanna say something that's mean or gossipy." Harmony shrugged, avoiding going in depth with her response.
