"I'm stand-offish." -Yanae Bradford

"Yeah just have those on my desk later. I also need a list of venues by tomorrow." I said through my office phone.

"Sure thing." My assistant said.

I hung up then sighed. I'm really burning myself out with all this running around.

Its October 2nd. Zaelyn and Yanae's birthday is on October 14th, meaning I have roughly 10 days to get everything together and finalized.

Zae and Nae's birthday isn't the only thing I'm in the process of planning either. I'm planning a fashion show for my store, J'aime.

I have two locations here in New York. One in Cali, one in Atlanta, and one in Florida. In the month of October, with it being breast cancer awareness month, I usually host a fashion show at each of my locations and all proceeds go to the breast cancer research foundation.

Its just something I feel entitled to do. Me and Jon even still donate together every year.

Anyways, I have Torri planning Zae and Nae's party as she does ever year while I'm planning the fashion show with my assistants "help". (She doesn't do much, I need a new assistant)

I packed up my things and left my office for the day. Walking through the store I couldn't help but smile in admiration.

When I first came up with the idea to open a store I never thought it'd be this big of a thing. I'm glad I did it.

My phone rang just as I got into my car.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Hey Mo." I heard Jonathan greet me.

"Hey Jon, what's up?" I asked staring my car.

"Nothing much just wondering what time I should come get Nae tonight."

Its Tuesday. Usually I'd say no since it's a school night, but now it's a different answer.

Towards the end of last month, September, Nae kept complaining about how she wanted to be honeschooled. She even made a presentation for Michael and I about how it'd be more effective. We finally caved in and started her on online schooling. We have a tutor that comes twice a week also to help her out to so she stays on top of her work. Its been pretty nice so far.

"You can come around 6." I answered. They're going to a BCRF dinner tonight.

"Okay cool. How is everything?"

"Pretty okay, just been so stressed trying to plan these fashion shows lately." I vented.

"Mm, why don't you come to the dinner with Yanae and I tonight?" He asked.

"Uhh.. I don't know."

"Come on, you need a break plus it'll just be you Yanae and I."

I lifted my eyebrows. "Oh? Wifey isn't coming?"

Jonathan's girlfriend China is pretty okay in my eyes. I'm just glad he finally found someone.

Jon laughed a little. "No, she doesn't like the BCRF dinners. She claims they're depressing."
