5:45 AM

As promised Angelo got up bright and early and made his way to Miko's shop but what he didn't expect was for her to be there in a hoodie and sweat pants with her hair in a messy bun and glasses on her face , She's beautiful he thought to his self as he stared at her for another minute before speaking. 

" Good Morning Ms. Larue " He spoke causing her to look up and smile " Good Morning " she says in a soft tone " You look tired how long have you been up ?" He asks " Since 2:30 and I've been here since 3:00 " she replies " Are you okay ? " " Yea it's a normal thing for me but how are you on this blessed day ?" She asks " I'm wonderful but if you excuse me the rest of the crew just walked through the door and it's time that I get to work " he says while running his tongue over his bottom lip, " Okay well I'll make sure to stay out y'all way " she says shyly 

This gone be harder than I thought he says in his head while closing her office door . Greeting each of the workers he began explaining to them what needed to be done and how it needed to be done before they started working on the salon . " So will we get to meet her ?" Eric asks " Whenever she comes out of her office I'll introduce y'all but until then let's get to work " He says with authority, he knew exactly what Eric was trying to do and he planned to shut that down besides the last thing he needs is to let one of his best employees go because he wants a quick nut .

Knocking on her office door before walking in , he waited patiently for her to tell him to come in " I'm not busy if that's what your wondering " Miko says , opening the door he spoke " I was wondering if I could play some music if that's fine with you ?" She looked up from her book " Yea that's fine " He smiles closing her door . Retrieving his speaker from his backseat he made his way back into the salon. " Aight boys what era do you wanna hear today ?" He asks " Old school rap " they all said in unison " Aight I gotcha . " Syncing his phone to the speaker he went to pandora going straight to the Old School Rap station .

Feel The Flow x Naughty By Nature began playing and everyone got work , there had been a few chatter here and there but none that would stop them from working but that's just how it is for them as crew . Angelo had never pulled the boss card on them because at one point in time he was in their shoes and he hated his boss with passion that's why he opened up his own company ; Valentine Construction , he saved up all his money from his first job to his last job and bought out a foreclosing construction company. 

As the music continued to play they continued to work until Miko caught everyone's eye as she recited the lyrics to Ambitionz Az A Ridah 

My murderous lyrics, equipped with spirits of the thugs before me

Pay off the block, evade the cops 'cause I know they comin' for me

I been hesitant to reappear, been away for years

Now I'm back, my adversaries been reduced to tears

 Question my methods to switch up speeds

Sure as some bitches bleed

Niggas'll feel the fire of my mother's corrupted seed

Blast me, but they didn't finish, didn't diminish my powers

(Buck buck buck buck buck!)

So now I'm back to be a motherfuckin' menace, they cowards

That's why they tried to set me up

Had b***h-ass niggas on my team, so indeed they wet me up

But I'm back reincarnated, incarcerated

At the time I contemplate the way that God made it

Lace 'em with lyrics that's legendary, musical mercenary

For money I'll have these motherfuckers buried

I been gettin' much mail in jail, niggas tellin' me to kill it

Knowin' when I get out they gon' feel it

Witness the realest! A hoo-ridah when I put the s**t inside

The cry from all your people when they find her

Just remind ya, my history'll prove authentic

Revenge on them niggas that played me

And all the cowards that was down with it

Now it's your nigga right beside ya, hopin' you listenin’

Catch you payin' attention to my ambitions as a ridah

" My bad y'all " She says laughing " This yo s**t huh " Angelo says more of a statement then a question " Man is it ? Anything Tupac I can recite forward and backwards " She says confidently " With or without music ? " Frank asks " Without " She said popping her imaginary collar " You something else dawg but everyone this is Ms. Miko " Angelo says introducing her to the crew " Nice to meet you guys " She waves shyly " I'll let you guys get back to work I'm going out for a bit be back later " she says going back into her office to grab her things 

Damn she got a fat ass Angelo thought as he watched her walk out the door . " I'd drink her bath water if she'd let me " Zach stated " Take ya white ass on some where bruh " Eric says " I'm for real dude " he ssys in a serious tone " I know yo ass is which is sad " Eric replied back " Let that man be and get back to work we got a few more hours before we take a lunch break " Angelo spoke " Aight boss " they said in unison , he shook his head at the two of them and went back to working on the bar part of the nail salon with Timothy and Frank.

11:23 AM

Miko sat in her car outside the salon talking on the phone with her mother , they had been holding this conversation for a good hour now and she couldn't stop laughing. " Ma you too old to be fighting " Miko laughs into the phone " Not when it comes to yo daddy s**t ! These old ass hoes be trying me like I won't do time behind that man I mean I know he handsome as hell but he mine and I don't appreciate these old ass women at church pushing up on him " " Pastor gone ban you from the church " she says still laughing " No he not if he wants me to keep his secret about him and Ms. Johnson " 

" Mila Larue! God gone get you " Miko shouts " God knows my heart so I'm good " She laughs " You know all the tea huh ?" " When you come to church Sunday I'll point out who did what and when they did it " She says " Nope you not taking me to hell with you " " Girl yo virgin ass ain't going to hell s**t but I can guarantee when you do finally get some d**k you gone be sinning just like the rest of us " her momma laughed " Bye ma I gotta get back in the salon " Miko says laughing 

" How many of them are fuckable ?" She asks " I'm telling daddy !" Miko bursts out in laughter " Chil' bye he don't think I be hearing him and Troy conversations but I do I just ignore it " " Idk ma " she lied " Well go in there and see " She stated " you serious ?" " As a heart attack now go " she demands " I can't believe I'm doing this s**t " Miko mumbles getting out the car " Oh hush I'm tryna get you some d**k before you die a virgin " Mila burst out in laughter 

" You know what ma and when I do get some d**k I won't tell you cause yo ass would never let me live it down " she says covering her mouth realizing she had been entered the salon " Im so fuckin embarrassed I'm not fuckin wit you no more ma " Miko chuckles " They heard you huh ?" Her mother laughs , she put her on speaker " Well why don't you ask them if they heard my loud mouth ass " " why when you done asked already Harmony " She says still laughing " Ima act like I ain't hear it and finish eating " Timothy says " Well I'm not " Eric says 

" You need some d**k ms lady cause I sure can supply ya need " Miko looked at him and laughed " Baby I wouldn't let you f**k me even if I begged you too you not my type of man " " and what exactly is ya type ? " Zach asks "CHOC-" she took her mother off speaker " None ya business and to answer ya question ma it's only one now I'm getting off the phone love you bye " she hung up and began rubbing her temples 

" Ya moms ?" Angelo asks sarcastically causing her to shoot him the bird " I can't stand her sometimes " " She reminds of my pops " he chuckled " is he born in November?" " November 9th ,1951 " he stated " November 16,1958 " she chuckled " Them damn scorpios " they say in unison " this too much but let me get back to my food before our lunch is over nice talkin wit ya Ms. lady " Miko smiles and walked into her office taking her hoodie off leaving her in a muscle shirt and sweat pants . What a morning she thought to herself .

After responding back to a few clients, she sent Zyla a text

Hurry up and come over " Zyla laughs " Let me give the contractor the extra key so he can lock up when he done " Miko says grabbing the extra set of keys , she locked her office door and turned around bumping straight into Angelo

Miko smiled shyly and walked out the salon . Taking her hair out the bun she had it in she let out a sigh of relief, she debated if she wanted to do Zyla 's nails or have some one come to her house and do them .
