Ashanti: A Tale of Dark Love

Ashanti

"Hey girl." Keisha said when I walked into V's.

"Hi Keisha." I said back not really wanting to.

"You're coming in to work kinda late huh?" She said while folding clothes.

"Yep." I said and hung up my jacket.

{Bitch never come in while we are busy but want to bring her ass in when we are fixing to close.}

"I don't work during the day because I like working to stock the clothes at night." I said back to her.

She gave me a confused look.

"Ok the new shipments are here and in the back. It's all yours." She told me.

"Just like they always are right?" I answered with a smart-ass remark.

She gave me a fake smile and I gave her one back.

{Bitch thinks she's all that. I can't believe that she actually thinks that people really believe that her hair is naturally red, and her eyes are naturally green. That's nothing but peroxide and contacts.} She thought.

"You know something Keisha. Black women are born all different ways. Some of us can be born with color eyes and color hair." I said with a huge smile on my face.

"What are you talking about Ashanti?" She was confused. "I never said anything about your hair or anything.

"You sure?" I told her and walked to the back of the store. I know she was wondering why I was saying all that stuff about hair and eyes. Good maybe next time she will keep her thoughts to herself.

Sometime later

I finished the shipments of clothes and shoes and was currently sewing some new prototypes for this upcoming launch I was working on.

"Are you sure that we can get the money?" I heard and a voice coming through the store whispering.

I looked at my watch and saw that it was almost two in the morning and we had been closed. The store was closed, and all the lights were out except for my lamp. Everyone was gone so that only left me.

"There's no alarm and it was said the money is in the back. Come on let's hurry up and get this over with." Someone said.

I know someone was not trying to break into my store and steal from me. I quickly turned my lamp off and hid in the corner.

I heard footsteps and knew there were two men in the store.

"I don't like this Mike. We should just go." One of them said. I could tell he was scared by the way his voice was shaking.

"Stop being such a bitch. This is going to be a in and out job. Just look for the safe and let's hurry up." The guy name Mike said.

"I should have stayed my ass in college." I heard the scary one says under his breath.

I heard some movements coming towards me and I knew I had to do something. They weren't trying to be quiet about them being here. I decided to let them know they weren't alone.

"I think that you two have made a big mistake breaking into my store. If you know what's best for you leave and never come back." I came from around the corner.

"What the fuck?" The guy Mike said.

"Yo who the fuck are you?" Scary ass said.
