"Oh, thanks mama red for helping me clean up before the grand opening."
"Your welcome baby. I wouldn't miss this for the world."

"Can you believe this is my salon?"
"Believe it? Baby I know it. Besides this is a beautiful salon. You got this shit for a good price."
"Yeah, I guess all that saving did pay off."
I hate lying to her but I have to do it. Its the only way of her not finding out about Michael. I just hope this scenario keeps going.
"I can just imagine your face plastered all over the billboards. That reminds me, have you thought of a name for the salon?"
I thought about it for a second. My mother always wanted her own salon. She told me the name was going to be "Rose's Beauty". She loved red roses & helping others with their beauty. But it mostly reminds her of me. I'm her little rose.
"Rose's Beauty."
Mama red smiled "that's a beautiful name."
"And its going to stay that way too. I don't care what anybody has to say" I sprayed the freshener in the air "ain't nobody getting in my way."
She frowned & put down the broom "are you okay baby?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"You've been very aggressive ever since the party last week. Is something bothering you?"
Diana popped up in my head & I got mad all over again "no, everything is fine."
She walked towards me "baby you can talk to me about anything you know."
"I know mama red" I wiped down the counter top "i'll let you know if something is bothering me."
She raised an eyebrow "okay baby."
"Do you have some more plug in fresheners?"
"No, I use the last one for the entrance."
"I'll check the back."
I walked towards the back door & went inside. I checked all the boxes for plug in fresheners but one box caught my attention. There's a skull printed on the side of it. Where the fuck did this come from? I know i didn't see this before. I carefully opened the box & examine what's inside. Their were samples of marijuana with daises on the front.
Another one? Where is this coming from? Is someone leaving drugs in my salon for a safe? This is unacceptable. I can't let mama red find this. I pulled out my phone & called Beverly. After a few rings, she finally picked up.
"Hello?"
"Beverly, are you alone?"
"Yeah, why?"
"There's another one here."
"What are you talking about?"
"There's another big brown box here!"
She gasped "the red roses?"
"No, this time its daises & it has a skull on the side of the box."
"Is it the same yellow substance?"
"No, marijuana."
"Oh" the phone went silent for a minute "mind sneaking me a sample?"
"Beverly!"
"What?!"
"You don't know what's mixed in with this shit" I quickly walked towards the door & peeked out. Mama red is still cleaning "and you don't know who it belongs too either."
"You didn't touch the shit, did ya?"
"No bitch, I ain't stupid. Just come down here & get rid of it."
"Get rid of it how?"
"Bury the shit behind the old pawn shop. Nobody's going to find it there."
"Okay but your coming with me."
I frowned "Wait, why?"
"Because if I go down, your going down with me."
"Fine, just get your ass over here."
"Ight."
We hung up. I don't know who keep putting these drugs in my salon but they finna be stopped immediately. This is about to get on my last nerves. A thought hit me, what if this is diana's way of getting me back? That bitch is trying to shut down my salon. Looks like I gotta pay this hoe a little visit.
