I smiled and as I looked at my phone. My mom and Lamar's parents were blasting my phone because they received the package. They were so happy that it warmed my heart. I looked out the window and up to the sky. My eyes began to get teary.

"You're a grandpa dada." I whispered.

He would be so happy🕊️

I wipped my tears and walked into the storage room. "You okay?" Asked Amanda as she rubbed my back. "Yea." I smiled sadly. She knew I wasn't okay.

She sighed as she helped me pack some of the new stock that came in today. "Edge control just finished." Said Blake as he stuck his head into the storage room.

I pointed to the box of the new edge controls. He took a few and walked out the room. Soon Amanda and I finished unboxing the stuff.

We walked out the room and I saw a client leaving. "And done." Said Blake. I smiled at him. "Thanks ey."

"No problem woman". I was supposed to do that client's hair but I started to feel light headed so he offered to help.

"I'm sorry." I said.

"What for?" He asked. "It feels like I'm making y'alls work too much. Like I just been slacking off and leaving you guys to handle the business when it's my job." I said sadly.

"Bitch there's no need to be sorry. You've done so much for us. Like so much. This is the least we could do for you and it's not a problem." Amanda said as she touched my shoulder.

"Yea like ion got no problem. In fact I actually like it. You work your ass off way too much. You gave us so much opportunities to take a break. This the least we could do for you." said Blake.

"Thanks guys." I smiled as I hugged them both. "It's closing time now and ion wanna keep y'all longer here."

We took our belongings and walked out the shop, making sure to lock it. "Y'all need a lift?" I asked them.

"Is cool. I actually brought my car today." Sighed Blake. "And my brother's here too." Said Amanda as she hugged me. I waved them goodbye and walked to my car. I entered and took off. First need to go to the Bank.

I needed to go to the bank to deposit some money so that's what I did. I got back inside the car and checked my notes. I needed to buy eggs, flour, beef, pork, mixed vegetables, cranberry juice, and more.

I parked my car in the parking lot and walked inside Walmart. Just as I passed the entrance, my body stilled. Did I just see....

I quickly turned my head around and he was gone. What?

No no no no no, I must be going crazy. My feet just started moving again into the supermarket. That can't be him. No no no, I'm hallucinating. I shoke my head and took a shopping basket. I did my shopping and walked out.

Why can't I stop thinking about it. I touched my heart and felt it beating rapidly. I entered my car and sighed.

Amari, he's not here. That was not Tjay. Relax.

I looked and saw that man I bumped into the last time on the other side. He was on a phone call. He looks so fucking familiar man. He noticed me looking at me. He waved at me and he had this stupid evil smirk on his face.
