"Thank you for shopping with us. Have a nice day!" I handed the lady her receipt and change.

"I'm beat. I'm ready to go home and prop up my feet." I turned and faced my best.

"I mean you could have been left. You own the place. Dummy" my best,Ajasia (24)popped her head around the corner.

"Yeah I know but I like being in here. I literally built it. It's like I'm home."

"Well then. I guess." She handed her phone. "Look at this man. He dark like you like them. Plus he got a beard." She stuck out her tongue. I looked at the picture and back up at her.

"Yeah he fine,but he look like he thirty sum." I walked out from behind the counter. I grabbed the cart of clothes that I had to put up.

"Ok soooooo"

"Age ain't nothing but a number. He don't even much look older then you by that much. Maybe 30 or 32" she followed me as I walked to the juniors section.

She knows that I don't talk or mess with older men especially of they more then 3 years older then me. I don't have anything against them. I just choose not to go that far. They man she showed me look like he could be my suga daddy. A sexy one at that.

"AJ..." I placed items on the rack. "He sexy but that's not my style. Now help me put these up so I can go. I gotta pick Lil mama up from school." I made room on the rack.

"Man you bout crazy. If I was you I'll jump all on that! Talm bout.." she started thinking. "See I would said Kevin Gates but I'm tryna get nastier. Real nasty." She laughed at the faces I started to make and helped me load the racks.

I heard the ding that the doors made when someone walks in over our laughter.

"Welcome to 'Saydez Clothing!" I yelled from where I was so the customer could hear me.

"Ms.Mersaydez I'm so sorry I'm late! The city bus had broke down. I tried to get here as fast as I could."
I peeped around the rack and saw that it was my youngest employee. Shay'lee. I meet her one day at the shelter when I was volunteering with her siblings. She was 15 years old at the time. I noticed that she was determined to take care of them so I helped her out.
