The next day I went to work, the moment I walked into the store I knew it was gone be a long ass day. It was already a long as line. We had a 75% off sale on furniture. The bunk beds, and dining room tables and chairs was selling fast.

After clocking in, I went to the back room and grabbed a pair of gloves. After putting them on I grabbed a mop the pale, and then I gathered the push broom and dust pan.

I went to the front of the store and cleaned down the glass doors, and Windows. After doing that I swept the entire store. Then I mopped and waved the floor. I made sure I put the slippery signs down so customers would know the floor was wet. I then cleaned down all three of the registers.

I knew the truck was coming in in a few hours so I made sure the back room was clean. I took out all the garbage. Then I helped a few customers load their packages in their vehicles. After the truck came, my work load was heavy. Breaking down boxes, sorting merchandise, and then marking them down so they could go on the sales floor.

I had just set up the last shipment of bunk beds when the fine ass woman stepped up to me. I had to admit she was sexy as hell but she had nothing on Yvette. Yvette would kill her on her worst days. I didn't want to draw any attention so I continued to do my work. But honey couldn't keep her eyes off me.

"Hi," she said as she winked at me. I rolled my eyes and said " Wassup, "You kinda cute what's your name?" She asked. "Married, and my wife crazy as hell," I replied as I continued to do my work.

"You told me that like I care," she said as she tried to grab my muscles. "Look trick, I'm married If you ain't trynna purchase one of these bunk beds then I'm not interested in your conversation," I said getting annoyed with this hoe.

"Listen potna I-"

"Nah listen trick, you heard my man, he married he ain't interested nah back up," Yvette said as she crossed her arms and rolled her neck.

I looked up shocked to see her but happy at the same time. The female rolled her eyes and walked away. I couldn't help but laugh at Sharria who had her hands on her hips too.

"Hey baby," I said as I grabbed her waist. "Hey baby," she said as she wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed my lips.

"What y'all doing here," I said as I picked Sharria up and twirled her around. "We came to see you daddy," She said between laughter. I kissed her cheeks and put her back down.

"Yeah, I knew your break would be in a few minutes so I came to see you, only did I know you had a fan," she said with an attitude.

"Bae I know you ain't mad I ain't looking for that hoe, I only want you," I said as I grabbed her ass and started sucking on her neck.

"Jooodddyyyyy, stowwwp," she moaned turning me on. "Girl let me take ya to the back real quick," I laughed.

"Jody stop playing with me peanut head ass," she replied. "I aint playing girl, but let me take these empty boxes to the garbage and I'll be out," I said.

"Okay babe," she replied. I finished throwing the trash out and cleaning the bunk beds down. Then I clocked out for lunch and met Yvette and baby girl in the car. We went to Wendy's across the street for lunch. After we ate, they dropped me back off and then I went back to putting up the rest of the furniture.

At 10:30 I clocked out and watched as my manager Mr. Wade locked up the store. Yvette and the kids was outside waiting for me. I was beyond tired and ready for bed.

After my shower, I put on my PJs and plopped down in bed. I was just about to close my eyes when my cellphone rung. I locked at the caller ID and it was Peanut.

"What the fuck she want?" I asked myself.

"Hello?" I said as I answered the phone. "Jody I'm coming to get my daughter this weekend," she said with an attitude.

"Damn hello to your ass too," I said with an attitude. "Look Jody enough with the games, I wanna see Sharria," she said.

"What time?" I asked. "around noon, my bus comes in around 10:00. And I should be around your house," she said. "Alright Bye," I said as I hung up.

"Who was that Jody," Yvette said as she climbed in the bed and cuddled under me. "Peanut," I replied.

"Fuck she want,"

"She wanna see Sharria,"

"I don't want her around my baby Jody twisting her mind around and shit," Yvette said.

"I can't not let her see her daughter Yvette, then she gone wanna sue and try to get custody, I ain't got time for that baby, besides we can't lie to Sharria she need to know who her people's is," I said.

"I don't care Jody, you know how she is," Yvette said. "Baby please not tonight I wanna sleep okay," I said.

"Whatever Jody," she said as she turned off the lights. Man I swear she be tripping.
