I just finshed selling a customer a few books and wished them a good day. I looked at my watch and saw it was two, time for me to go to lunch. Malika has been in the back all day counting money, meaning she was tealing again. I looked at the displays that her father told her to do a week ago in the corner still undone. I shook my head just as she was coming out of the back yawning...that bitch was sleep!

"Malika I'm about to go on my break-" I straighten the counter a bot and walked from around it and was on my way to the back to get my jacket. Malika looked at me and bucked her eyes at me.

"Uh excuse me, but those displays need to be done first." I grabbed my jacket and walk back to the front and rolled my eyes.

"And they will be done when I get back, its my break time and I'm going to take it." Malika placed her hands on her hips and glared at me.

"I don't care what time it is, I want those displays done and then you can have your fifteen minutes-" I put my jacket on and shook my head.

"First off it's an hour and secondly if you don't fall back into place I will tell your daddy you are skimming off the top with the profits." Malika relaxed her attitude and huffed her way to the back. I rolled my eyes and mumbled a few words before grabbing my purse and leaving…I'm going o lose my job behind her one day.

I looked at the line that was out front of the boys restaurant and smiled. They were doing so good with this place. I went around back and knocked on the door. I waited a minute before one of the waitresses opened the door for me.

"Hey Danny Long Legs, Jimmy is taking over cooking and Jey is in the office. I walked in and was met instantly with the hustle and bustle of everything going on. I went through the kitchen and saw Jimmy dicing his little heart out and yelling out orders. One of the cooks tapped Jimmy and he looked up. I waved at him and he nodded his head at me and yelled out an order.

"Somebody get that stuff shells and cheesy garlic bread going!" I mouthed a thank you and got a wink in return.

I walked through some double doors and went down a narrow hall that led to their office. I knocked n the door and heard a faint "come in" and opened the door. Jey was sitting behind the desk on the computer when I walked in. He stood up and I saw he had on a blue Lava Lava which means he must have been in the dining hall.

"Danny Long Legs! What's going on?" I rolled my eyes at the name and walked around his desk to give him a hug.

"I'm mad that the staff now calls me that." I took his place behind the desk and saw he was making the food orders for next week.

"What's going on Jey, how's the little lady in your life?" I leaned back in his chair and watched the smile come over his face.

"Jaye is good, she moving slower now that she's six months pregnant, but she's doing real good." I laughed at him and shook my head. No one would have thought as much as Jimmy love women and flirted that Jey would be the one settling down and having a baby first.

"I can't believe you are going to be a daddy. All I can think about is the skinny kick with the big head who looked like a lollipop-" Jey flipped me off and I laughed out loud. Someone knocked on the door before opening it and came in with a tray full of food. Jey nodded his head to I think his name is Paul. I thanked him before he turned around and left.

"Did Jimmy really make this? You know he will take credit in a second if you're not around." I said teasingly while I started eating. Jey took the seat that was in front of his desk and started eating his food.

"No he made it, when it comes to you he cooks…and he seemed as if he was in trouble so he put a bit more attention into it…what did he do?" I finished chewing and shook my head.

"He stood me up last night. He invited me to one of his buddies parties and then didn't even show up so I'm stuck there looking like boo the damn fool." I took a sip of my tea and sighed at just the thought of what happened last night. Jey leaned back in his seat and let out a long whistle .

"So what did you do to him?" I kept my attention on my food and purposely didn't answer him.

The room fell silent for a few minutes. I thought he took the hint and just let it drop, but when I went to take a sip of my drink, out of the corner of my eye I saw him staring at me.

"What?" Jey went back to eating and after he was finished chew and swallowed he pointed his fork at me.

"Woman you better answer my question." I rolled my eyes and dropped my fork. Jey eyed me awhile longer before shaking his head and smirking.

"Fucked the hell out of you didn't he?" I hung my head down while Jey laughed.

"Aww, don't do all of that, bt Danny you need to stop letting him do that, he's going to think he can do whatever he wants and you are just going forgive him with some sex.

"That's your brother-"

"And I love my brother, but I also know an asshole when I see one and my brother can be an asshole when it comes to you…and in all honesty I thought you would make me an uncle before I make Jimmy one." I damn near chocked to death when he said that and he kept on eating like he didn't say anything out of the way. I gulped down the rest of my tea and shook my head no.

"Hell no!" Jey nodded his head and took a bite out of his sandwich.

"Do you two even use condoms or are you on birth control?" I cleared my throat and rubbed the back of my neck.

"Neither, he pulls out." Jey dropped his sandwich and stood up.

"Are you serious!what are you two fifteen or something? Danny you could be pregnant now, go take a test." I started going onto his plate and eating his seafood salad. Jimmy walked in just as Jey started laughing out loud.

"What's so funny?" Jey walked over to Jimmy and patted him on the back.

"Danny's pregnant, congrats uso." Jimmy's eyes damn near bucked out of his head. When Jey said that. I threw my napkin at him and stood up myself.

"WHAT!" I waved my hand at him and found some gum in my purse. Jimmy looked like he was going to faint from thought while Jey laughed all over again..

"I am not pregnant, your brother is just as ass! Joshua go to hell!" Jimmy put his hand over his chest and looked over at his brother. Jey was smiling right at him, but walked over to me and gave me a hug.

"I bet they have condoms down there." I pushed him away while he pinched my hips before going back to work. Jimmy watched him leave before focusing back on me.

"What is he talking about?" He pointed his thumb over his shoulder while I just waved the question away as if it was nothing.

"Nothing, is the rush over?" Jimmy shrugged and pulled me into a hug and tried to kiss me, but I ducked under his arms and moved towards the middle of the room.

"Yeah, Markus is taking over…still mad at me-" Jimmy kept his back to me and I folded my arms over my chest.

"Yes I am." Jimmy sighed and sat on top of the desk and reached out for me, but I shook my head no.

"How can I make it up to you?" I shook my head and rubbed my hands over my slacks.

"I don't even know, but I don't want to think about it or I'll get all upset again." I smoothed the back of my hair down and realized I need a shape up.

"You about to go back to work?" I nodded my head and just…stood there. Jimmy coughed in his closed fist and just watched me.

"Yup, I'm going to try not to kill that little girl." I said and he made some type of noise with his mouth. I nodded my head and started swinging my purse from side to side.

Having Jimmy stare me down was starting make me nervous. I hated when he did that and damnit he knew it! I watched a smile slowly curve at his lips and flipped him off. His eyes grew dark and he stood up and walked over to me. He stood directly in front of me and dropped his smile. I kept my eyes on his chest afraid to look up. He dipped his head down and nuzzled his nose on my cheek and down to my neck. I felt a knot forming in the pit of my stomach. He moved back up, over my cheek and to my nose until I had no choice but to look into his eyes. He took his thumb and placed it under my chin and tilted my head up.

"Don't let her faze you, just do those little bit of hours and come back here and I will take you home when I'm done." If you ask me now what he said I would not have a damn clue. All I did was nod my head and he did the same. Jimmy kissed my nose and walked out of the office.

I looked around the office confused and scratched the top of my head.

"The hell did he say?"

After work I went home and got the bath going. I looked into the fridge and saw some left over seafood platter from the boys place I had yesterday for lunch. I was so glad Jey gave me double the servings and I now didn't have to make dinner.

I grabbed my phone and placed it on the side of the sink and stripped down to nothing. I got intot he tub and of course my phone started going on.

"What the hell…hello? I answered while turning the water off.

"Danny get me out of this damn house! Jey won't let me go anywhere by myself!" I moved the phone away from my ear and sighed.

"Jaye, you are a grown woman, you can do whatever you want-" I heard her smack her lips and moved the phone away, knowing she was about to go off again.

"Have you ever carried a Fatu's child? You can't do a damn thing except get fat off of their cooking!" I groaned out a no and she made a noise with her mouth.

"And you are complaining because…?" The line went dead for a moment and she ignored my question completely.

"Are you doing anything tonight?"

"Nope, listen. Let me finish my bath and I will be over in about an hour. Where are we going?" I heard her squeal and couldn't help but laugh a little.

"We are going to the movies, then Cold Stone for ice cream annnnnnd theeeeeen…eat something else" I crossed my eyes and let out a breath. Between Jaye, Jey, and Jimmy…I'm going to be one short fat chick.

"Okay Jaye, I will be there in an hour."

"Thank you sis you are the best!" I shook my head at her calling me sis.

"Bye." I hung up and quickly washed my body and got out. I put some jeans on with a short sleeve v-neck t-shirt and was quickly out of the door. I'm so glad they only live a few blocks away.
