Love and Pain {Book 2}

Chapter 19

Ming Lynn's Pov:

Today Rya Is At Home With Que. He Didn't Have To Work So He Gets Time With His Baby Girl While I Work. June Didn't Come Into The Shop This Morning So I Assume She's Not Coming At All. The Shop Wasn't As Packed As Always But There Was More Than Enough People Coming In.

"Bitch I'm Tired Of These Niggas." Sam Said Swinging His Flat Irons A little.

"You Always Say That." Nia Started. "Then Tomorrow You'll Be Coming In Here Talking About A New One."

Everyone Laughed.

"You Know What Bitch, I Don't See You With A Nigga."

"I Got My Baby And That's All I Need Right Now."

"Girl I Know That's Right." He Said, Continuing On His Clients Head.

"Where's June?" Steven Asked.

I Rolled My Eyes And Pretended Not To Hear Them. I Noticed The Shop Became Quiet And Steven, Sam, Nia, Lana, Crystal And Hardy Were All Looking At Me.

"What?" I Asked With A Little More Attitude Than I Meant.

"That's Yo Best Friend." Hardy Noted.

"I Don't Know, I Don't Keep Tabs On Her."

All Of A Sudden There Was An Uproar Of Comments Coming From Them.

"Okay Okay Calm Down. She Was Feeling A Bit...Neglected By Me And She Went About It In a Very...Unacceptable Way."

"In Other Words, y'all Got Into It." Sam Said Reading Between The Lines.

"Yeah."

"Damn I Thought Y'all Was Girls For Life." Nia Asked

"I Guess Not."

I Was Over This June Talk. If She Wants To Be Petty Over Nothing So Be It. I'm Not Going To Worry My Pretty Little Head About It. Jacquees Will Always Come Before Her. He's Hurt Me But Me And Him Have Such A Deep Past And No Matter How Angry I Get With Him, We Always Come Back To Each Other.

After Finishing The Head I Was On, I Went To My Office. I Needed A Minute To Myself. I Sat In My Chair And Put My Head Down. Sometimes I Sit Back And Think. What Would It Have Been Like It I Grew Up With My Parents. Would I Even Be Here, With This Shop, With Que, With Rya.

My Mother, Mai And My Grandmother Came From Korea To America When My Mom Was Only 7. They Lived In A Little Ghetto Mexican Town Until My Mom Was 16. They Moved To A Quiet Little Town Where She Met My Dad, An Average 17 Year Old Black Boy. They Knew Each Other For Only A Month Before She Became Pregnant With Me. That's When Things Turned To Hell. What My Mom Didn't Know Was My Dad Was Deep In The Game. Too Deep. People Came After Them And It Got So Bad, She Moved Back To Korea While Pregnant With Me. Mai Stayed In The States While My Mom And Grandma Hid Out. My Dad Begged My Mom To Come Back But As Long As She Felt That She Was In Danger, She Wouldn't. I Was Four Months When He Finally Convinced Her It Was Safe. They Settled In A Small Two Story Home But A Week Later, The Same People He Was Running From Found Us And Killed Them Both, Leaving Me In A Shattered And Ruined House. Mai Took Me In Instantly. This Was A Story Mai Told Me Countless Of Times. I Would Always Ask Her What Happened To My Parents And She Wouldn't Tell Me Until I Was At Least 14.

That Is The Reason I'm Glad Que Is Done With That Life. Knowing What Happened To My Parents Made It Even Worse When I Saw Que Laying In The Hospital Bed Unable To Move Or Speak.

A Knock At The Door Caused Me To Jump In My Seat. It Was Nia. She Came In, Closing The Door And Sat On The Couch Across From Me.

"Okay Talk, What's Going On?" She Asked Me.

She Set Her Elbow On The Arm Of The Couch And Her Head On Her Fist.

"Nia, How Do Feel About Our "Relationship"."

"Well I Feel That, Even With Our Current Past, We're Friends. I Mean I Consider You One But I Don't Know If You Feel That Same."

I Slightly Smile But It Quickly Faded. "June Is Jealous Of Our New Found Friendship And The Time I've Been Spending With Que."

Nia Furrowed Her Eyebrows. "You And Que Are Getting Married, What Does She Expect."

I Sighed. " I Don't Know."

"Don't Stress Your Self Out, You Have A Beautiful Baby Girl To Take Care Of, A Successful Shop And A Wedding To Plan."

"I Know, I'm Exhausted."

"I Can Tell."

I Stood Up From My Seat And We Both Went Back Out Onto The Floor And Got Back To Work.
