"You here early. I saw my car in the parking garage but thought I was tripping." It was a Tuesday evening and Brielle had just made it home after a long day of labs, to her daddy in her kitchen.
"Yea we decided to surprise you." Dakari walked from around the counter and pulled her into a hug.
"Where Ma and you cooking?" Bri set her bookbag in a barstool bending down and removed her vapormax from her feet—picking them up.
Dakari pointed towards the back. "She's in your room asleep. Yes, what you got a taste for?"
"Wings and fries. Im about to go get out of these scrubs and I want to talk to you about something. I'll be right back." Brielle grabbed her phone and retreated to her room. Quitely walking in, she put her shoes in her closet and starting looking for some loungewear.
She threw her scrubs in the hamper and pulled on some black biker shorts leaving her sports bra on. Brielle threw her hair in a messy bun and left out of her closet. She pulled the blanket up on her mama and kissed her forehead walking out.
Grabbing her bookbag and hopping in the barstool Bri pulled out her MacBook quickly typing in her password. Bri pulled up her emails and sighed.
Dakari noticed her distress. "What's up muffin?"
Bri looked up at her daddy. "I got over a thousand orders and I don't know how I'm going to do all them with me trying to move. The chains are complete, I just have to add the names. I think I'm going to close the site down until I get majority of my stuff packed."
Balling his lip up. "If you feel like that's what you need to do, then do it. You know you don't have to rush and move, right? You own this condo."

Nodding her head. "Yea I know and that's what I wanted to talk to you about. Since I own this condo, do you think I should sell it or put it up for rent?
"List it for rent. Not that you need it, but it will be another source of income."
"Okay I'll add that to my list of things to do."
"What type of wings you want?" Dakari turned away from the counter and opened the freezer grabbing a bag of wings.
"Sweet and spicy." Bri grabbed her phone from the side of her bookbag and unlocked it going to Instagram.
Hey! As you all know, I just bought a house that I'm in the process of moving into and due to that reason I am behind on orders. I don't like that so, due to the significant amount I am closing the website down temporarily. Please do not be alarmed, If you ordered anything DURING and AFTER the 72 hour sale, you will receive your package in the next TWO-THREE weeks. You will also receive a complementary gift. Be on the lookout for tracking numbers soon. thanks you.
Bri placed her phone in her bra and jumped down picking up her mac. "Daddy let me know when the food is ready. I'm about to try and box as many orders I can."
"I got you muffin. Yo sisters coming this weekend?"
Bri nodded and walked towards the back of the condo. Pushing the door open to her jewelry room, she flicked the lights on and looked around. Plugging up her laptop to the screen, she pulled up the spreadsheet of completed pieces.
"Alright lets get started." She clapped her hands and rub them together.
She lined up ten velvet boxes of different shapes and sizes on her table. Bri grabbed her container of jewelry and pulled it open separating each piece by order number and alphabet of the purchaser name.

About a hour later Brielle packed and labeled at least two hundred orders. Sitting down in front of her Mac. She highlighted all completed orders in green.
"Hey baby."
Bri looked up from her laptop and saw her mama standing in the threshold rubbing her stomach. She broke out into a smile. "Hey mama!"
Ashley walked further into the room and looked around. "The food is ready and I see why you're ready to move."
Bri laughed and unplugged her laptop from the screen. "Yea, it's a lot. After I did the pop-up shop at school, I got a lot of orders and I dropped a new custom piece so that plays a part as well."
"I'm proud of you muffin." Ashely grabbed Bri's face in the palm of her hand.
"Thank you mama. Let's go eat before daddy eat all the drums."
Brielle sat in the kitchen and talked with her parents over their meal for about a hour before retreating to her room. She took a quick shower and put on some pajamas. Since she gave her parents her room, she retreated to one of her sisters room.
Climbing into Kai's bed, she sat crisscross in the middle with her MacBook in her lap. As she was preparing to send out custom service emails, she was interrupted by a incoming call. was stretched across her laptop screen. Quickly looking into the camera, she made sure her titties were in her bra and that her glasses weren't crooked.
Accepting the call, she dragged the screen into a corner. "Wassup gorgeous!"
Scooting back against the headboard, Bri put the laptop in her lap and flexed the screen. Smiling looking into the camera she spoke. "Hey Cameron."
Tapping the keyboard rapidly. Brielle maneuvered through her website and email. Cameron peeked into the camera. "What you doing mama?"
Licking her lips before speaking. "I'm sending out custom service emails to concerned customers. What are you doing?" Bri briefly looked into the camera.
"Working on some blueprints for class." Bri looked away from her email and noticed he was in front of table with a bunch of papers.
"Since you're taking up architectural engineering, doesn't that deal with the technology and science aspect of buildings?"
Cameron smirked and licked his lips. "Yes ma'am. I see you done did your research."
Cocking her head to side smirking. "Maybe." Brielle slid the laptop over and slid under the cover. Putting the laptop back in her lap.
Cameron chuckled. "I see you I see you. You look cute in your glass."
Blushing, Brielle looked in the camera and shook her head. "Thank you."
Even though they're on FaceTime, they were enjoying the silence and presence of each other. That's what Brielle liked the most about their FaceTime calls, they were able to do their own thing knowing that one of another was there.
Cameron took attention that the rapid typing had came to a halt. He looked in the camera and noticed she was sleep. Cameron organized his paperwork and stood up walking into his room. Removing his sweat shorts, Cam climbed into his bed and placed his phone on the charger adjusting it. "Goodnight Brielle."

RANK
Alpha of the Darks, Vince, imprints on Nya but keeps it a secret.ExcerptVince was resting in bed running the day's events through his mind when his heightened sense of hearing was alerted to the sound of ruffling sheets. Little feet hit the ground telling him it was a female and the odd placement of footsteps lets him know it wasn't Malina. He rises and when he widens his bedroom door Nya's scent flooded through his nostrils. He clears his throat instinctively and follows the smell into the hall. There he finds her coming straight towards him. He was surprised she was up this soon. She should have been out until the morning at least. Her foot was healed and her clothes were changed from earlier. She was now wearing a fitted cotton t-shirt, soft plaid shorts, and her hair was tied up in a messy bun. "What are you doing?" He folds his arms and angles his brows. She keeps her same pace beelined to him.Never, has he ever had the thought of taking a step back when being approached; until now that is. He hesitated. He firmly refused to let anything make him back down. This was his house, his rules, and she had no power over him. His focus inadvertently fell to her breast that lacked cover from a bra, and then to her smooth thighs, and like he has absolutely no control, to her toned calves. She was a foot away when the moon's glow from the skylight illuminated her face. His heart skipped a beat. It had never done that before. Then his train of thought went right off the tracks. He didn't realize how thick her lashes were, or how perfectly red her lips were stained. Where earlier she was pale, she now had a flushed pink color. The darkness from under her eyes was gone and her cheeks were slightly fuller too.He blinks away his unwanted thoughts when she stops inches from him.With a neutral gaze, an expressionless expression almost, she makes a sudden turn and goes around him. "What the f**k?" She was sleepwalking he registered.
