"Awe my baby is so pretty, I'm so proud of you! Emerald. I told you, you were going to get this boutique! Fuck them hating ass bitches. Mad cause they don't have they own bag!" Danielle, my fathers first wife and Baby's mother spoke.

"Thank you ma." I said smiling as she finished up my hair. Some people may disagree with me calling Danielle mom but this lady has done for me more then my actual mom.

Don't get me wrong, I love my mom despite all the bullshit she has put me through but Danielle is my mother. She was there for me when my own mother wasn't and I'll forever hold her at a high pedestal.

"Ooh I forgot to tell you. Them two bitches Chyna and Chanel tried to come and in here and thought she was getting their hair done. They lucky I ain't beat they asses myself." Danielle said causing me to laugh.

I was honestly over them bitches. Chyna still had an ass whooping come her way. And Chanel was apparently really pregnant. But I was not pressed over them. I been busy focusing on my show. Tonight I was having a little grand opening party with my family and a few celebrities to try and build my clientele.

"Ooooh yass I ain't never had my hair this damn silky! It's bomb as fuck!" Vee loud country accent said causing me to turn around.

"And this my real hair! Bitches could never." She continued she yell causing all the ladies in the shop to laugh.

"I like her!" Danielle said causing me to look over at Vee crazy self. She had been out here ever since the whole Instagram situation. And that was over a good month ago.

Hearing the ding, signaling someone walked everyone eyes went to Baby. "Hey baby," They all said as he nodded his head.

"Boy if you don't pull your fucking pants up." Danielle said mugging him as he came and gave her a hug.

"The ladies love it." He spoke shrugging his shoulders causing me to laugh.

"Wassup sis." He said giving me a hug. "When you finish let me holla at you." He told me as I nodded my head.

"Boy bye, who you are not anyone's father." Danielle said as he sucked his teeth. One thing about my brother he was gon boss someone around.

"Go head, see what he want." Danielle said as she finished up my hair.

"When you really done with that nigga come fuck with a real one." Baby said as he looked up at me.

"Let me talk to Emerald real quick." He said as Vee nodded going to the other side of the shop.

"When the last time you spoke to your bitch ass ex?" He asked cutting straight to the point.

"He texted me when Chyna did her Instagram show, that's about it." I said as he nodded his head.

"He got family out here?" Baby questioned as I shook my head. "Not that I know of." I told him as he nodded his head.

"How you doing though? Spoke to East?" He asked causing me to suck my teeth.

"Fuck him." I said as Baby nodded his head.

"Imma be straight up with you. That shit caught him off guard." Baby said and I stopped him.

"I don't want shit to do with that boy. I'm over him and the mess that comes along with him. That's you and dads business associate. Besides that and Sarai them the only ties me and him share." I said as he nodded his head.

"I respect that, but let me get shawty number." He said motioned towards Vee.

"Ain't you just dub my bitch?" I asked as he sucked his teeth.

"Man mind ya business and send me ha number. Don't worry bout ya tab, I got the both ya." He said as I nodded my head.

"Thank you."' I said as he nodded his head.

"Love you big head." He said as I felt my phone vibrate.

What's ha favorite color?

"Everybody I would like to do a toast. Dominic and I we weren't the best parents. We weren't teenagers, Young and dumb. It's no secret. We couldn't, heck we still can't get anything right when it comes to Emerald. I'm glad she didn't turn out like either one of us. She's smart! She's getting her own! I'm so proud. I may not show it but I truly am proud of

you Emerald." She said turning to me tearing.

"There is someone standing here today I do want to say thank you too. Danielle." She turned and looked at her.

"Thank you! Me and you may never get along but I have to give you, your flowers. You were the mother I wasn't. Look at our baby girl." She said as Danielle nodded her head.

"I still don't like the bitch." Vee whispered about my mother causing me to laugh.

"This shit is dope as fuck!" I heard causing me to roll my eyes at Bash loud ass as he walked in with Bag behind him.

"I'm definitely copping a few of my bitches some bags from here." He said as they approached me.

"Congrats ugly." He said giving me a hug. "Thank you." I told him.

"Bitch yo brother bought me roses in my favorite color! He getting the pussy tonight." Vee loud ass said as she held the yellow roses in her hand.

"Vee, this Bash." I introduced since she had already met Bag.

"Mmh," she said being shady as she walked away causing me to laugh.

"Fuck is her issue?" He asked as I shrugged my shoulder. I knew exactly why she was so short with Bash. Bash is Kross best friend and she doesn't like him. She was like that with Bag too but eventually dropped it.

"Oh East told me give you this." He said handing me a card. Looking down at it I took it and nodded my head.

"The event is wrapping up you have to make a speech." Emily whispered to me as I nodded my head.

"Can I have everyone's attention?" I asked softly waiting forever one to be quiet but they were still talking.

"CAN YA SHUT THE FUCK UP! EMERALD TRYING TO SPEAK SHOW SOME RESPECT!" Vee shouted as everyone got quiet.

"Thank you," I said clearing me throat.

"Thank you all for coming to support my up and coming business. Some of you may be a little confused on what exactly this is. This is a safe heaven for us women. Men have their sneakers and us women have our luxury bags/purses." I said as everyone chuckled.

"With that being said Bags Galore is where you ladies can come and get your bags. Not only will you be able to get authentic bags but you will be able to come here and get your bags appraised, sell your bags, pawn them etc." I continued to talk.

"This project has definitely put me in a world wind. I'm just glad it's finally here and I'll like to introduce you to the the employees. Sarai Bryant, Venus Jones, Jessica Clark, Erin Love." I said as the ladies stepped up waving at everyone.

"Too Baga Galore." I said as everyone clapped.

"Where you find Jessica and Erin?" My mom asked as she stepped next to me.

"Erin is Danielle's niece, and Jessica is her best friend." She spoke as my mom nodded her head.

"Keep an eye out for that Jessica girl, she seems sneaky." My mom said before walking off as I nodded my head
