Raymoni

Chapter 23

"Dad how was your trip?", Milan asks. "It was just a work trip.", Wes says. "Yea, but you were gone for so long. I missed you.", Milan says. "Well I missed you too, Millie.", Wes says hugging her. I clear my throat. "I missed you too, baby.", Wes says and kisses me.

"Mom let me pick out some names for the baby.", Milan says. "Well what did you come up with?", Wes asks as we both sit down on the couch. He then puts his arm around me. "Well if it's a girl Camrin Adali or Kali Nasir and then if it's a boy Pharaoh Imani.", Milan says. "I'm guessing you really want a sister.", Wes says. "Of course.", Milan says.

"I think Kali Nasir is just adorable.", I say. "How did you think of those name combinations?", Wes asks. "Well Kali means goddess of time in Sanskrit and Nasir means protector in Arabic. Ilyas told me that one.", Milan says. "So her name would be like the protectorate time goddess of the riverbank.", Wes says.

"What does my name mean?", Milan asks. "Milan means kind, Namir means leopard, and Caden means friend.", I say. "Kind leopard friend of the riverbank.", Wes says. "That explains my fierce personality.", Milan says. I playfully roll my eyes.

"Raymoni, Wesley.", Cyrus yells. "Living room.", I yell. Cyrus comes in frazzled. "What's wrong?", I ask. "Sam texted me saying that Beck and Namiko are in a heated argument that might escalate.", Cyrus says. "I fucking knew something like this would happen.", I say.

I stand up and grab my keys. "Wes come on.", I say. "Do you need me too?", Milan asks. "No because I don't want you to see this, but you can make dinner.", I say. "Ok.", Milan says. The rest of us go to my car and I speed off.

"Where are they?", I ask. "Nam's shop.", Cyrus says. I speed towards her shop which isn't far from my house. I park in the back and we walk in. "Hey beautiful.", Ilyas says. "No time. Where are they?", I say. "Up front.", Ilyas says.

We walk up front to see Sam holding Namiko back. "What the fuck is going on here?", I ask. "Beck is jealous of my success so she trashed my back room.", Namiko says. "You shouldn't even have your own shop. You can't handle it.", Beck says. "I can't handle it? Bitch I've had more clients than you for a long time.", Namiko says. "Ok and? I taught you everything you know. I gave you those clients.", Beck says.

"What clients did you give me? Huh? You've never even touched Milan's hair. Every time Maddyx and Ambia come in town who do they go to? Who the fuck does Raymoni's hair? Now I want you to tell me what fucking clients you gave me?", Namiko says. Beck is silent. "Now that's what the fuck I thought. You can't never be fucking happy for me.", Namiko says. "Happy for you for what? That you coast through life while I have to work hard for what I have? You think I'm gonna be happy that you get everything handed to you on a silver platter? Fuck no. You will never understand what it's like to have to work hard.", Beck says sitting down in one of Namiko's washing bowl chairs.

Namiko breaks from Sam's grasp and runs up to Beck. Wes, Sam, and Ilyas run to grab her before she can put her hands on Beck. "Get the fuck off of me.", Namiko says. "No, not until you calm down.", Ilyas says. "I'm not gonna fucking calm down.", Namiko says. "Then we aren't letting you go.", Sam says.

"You act like you are the queen of struggling. Both of your parents are rich out of their fucking asses. You've never wanted for a single thing in your fucking life. Yea you may be the product of a cheating bastard, no offense Wes.", Namiko says. "None taken.", Wes says. "But you at least have two parents. Shit even Wes and Navia's mom treats you like you were her own. You know what I have? A mother and a fucking sperm donor. I can't even get in contact with him because he doesn't know that I fucking exist. Do you know how that fucking feels? No you don't and you never fucking will.", Namiko says.

"You still get everything handed to you.", Beck mumbles. "Beck please shut the fuck up. Like seriously you have no argument. You should know about that being that you spent a year and a half in law school.", Wes says. "What? Cyrus back me up here.", Beck says. "Babe they have a point. You've had things that some of us would kill for.", Cyrus says. "That is so typical of you guys. Always siding with Namiko. You know what fuck it, I'm out of here. I don't need this.", Beck says and leaves. Wes, Sam, and Ilyas let go of Namiko.

"How bad is it?", I ask. "Let me show you.", Namiko says and leads us to the back room. "Oh my God.", I mumble. Her nail station and makeup station are both completely trashed, there is nail polish all over the walls, her ring light is broken, her pictures on the wall are broken, and so much more. "How could anyone do this to their sibling?", I ask.

"I have only been open for a week and I'm already gonna have to close down for a while to get this all fixed. I knew that she could get jealous, but not bad enough to ruin my only source of income.", Namiko says. "I don't care what Beck says we all know that you worked your ass off to have this shop. I don't want you to not be able to work in it because of my wife's jealousy. I will help you pay to get this stuff fixed and to get new products.", Cyrus says. "I'll call up some of my contractor buddies and see what they can do.", Wes says. "We will help in every other way we can.", Sam says. "And while this is going on you can use our other house for your appointments.", I say.

"Thank you guys so much.", Namiko says nearly in tears. Sam pulls her to him and kisses the top of her head. "Hey that's what family does.", I say. We clean up a bit then Cyrus, Wes, and I leave.

"They need to work out their issues.", Wes says. "I know and I have just the idea of the people who can help.", I say.
