Skylar hopped out the shower feeling the cool breeze from the air conditioner booming through her apartment vents. Goosebumps quickly formed on her skin as she grabbed her towel from the wooden rack and wrapped it around her body. She took off her shower cap and hung it up onto the hook on the wall before walking out seeing Bryan, her boyfriend of three years getting dress, ready for work in their bedroom.

She walked past him and headed to her closet looking for something to wear for the day. "What you doing today?" He questioned putting on his gold diamond watch.

"I'm off today so I decide to have lunch with my mother and sister and then probably go see my father"

"You going to stop by my office"

"I don't know maybe"

"I wasn't asking"

Skylar turned around and faced Bryan admiring his brown hair, blues eyes, and rose colored cheeks. "Yeah I can do that" she smiled avoiding an argument. He returned the gesture and grabbed his jacket to his suit and threw it on.

"Alright I'm out of here love you" he said checking himself out in the mirror making sure he looked perfect to impress her dad. He walked over to her and pecked her lips.

"Yeah you too" she gave him a half smile watching him walk out their bedroom door before going back to her clothes. She settled with a gray midi skirt with a white tank top and nude pink Adidas to top it off. The weather was starting to get warmer in Philly so she was excited, not because she can now wear skirts and tanks but because her new summer collection was launching next month.

Ever since she was young owning her own fashion line company was her dream and at the age of twenty three, right after she finished college and with the help of her father, her dreams finally came true. She now owned her own fashion line, Jewels Inc.

She threw her hair into a high pony tail and grabbed her bag before heading out her room going to the living room. She cleaned up the little bit of dishes Bryan left in the sink before grabbing her cars keys to her all white Lexus and her bag making sure she got everything she needed. Skylar locked up her apartment and headed to the elevator going to the main lobby.

"Bye George" she waved to the concierge at the front desk. He waved backed watching her walk out into the parking lot.

"Hello sorry I'm late traffic" Skylar greeted her mother, Camilla, and little sister, Princess.

"It's alright we were just talking about you" her mother smiled sipping her tea.

"I hope good things" Skylar giggled.

"Something like that" her mother shot back.

Skylar rolled her eyes on the low and made eye contact with a light skin man she found very attractive from across the room who was talking to another guy dressed in all black. His chinky eyes and thick pink full lips stood out to her and every time he spoke she saw his gold grill on his bottom row of teeth.

Oh my gosh, his grill, she thought to herself.

"How is Bryan?" Her mother smiled getting her attention.

"He is still awesome just the other day he uh" She stopped talking when she saw the two men exchanged an envelope under the table. "He uh just got a promotion I'm pretty sure you heard" she smiled going back to their conversation.

"Yes if it wasn't for me he wouldn't have gotten that promotion and y'all wouldn't be-"

"What you trying to say?"

"Oh I told your father to give him that promotion-"

"Wait what?"

"You heard me correctly" she spat. "Instead of questioning me you should be thanking me"

Skylar stared at her mother as she bit the side of her cheek upset at what she just told her and how she said it. Instead of her arguing back and causing a scene she smile softly and said "Thank you"

Looking up again she made eye contact with the man from across the room for a few more seconds before looking away but watching him stand up, throw some money on the table, and leave out the corner of her eye. She folded her arms on top of the table and stayed to herself until it was time to leave.

Leaving the restaurant she walked over to where her car was parked seeing the man from inside leaning against the car in front of hers. Rolling her eyes she twisted up her lips and made her way to her car ignoring his presence.

"You nosey you know that?" She heard his deep raspy voice once she stopped in front of her car. She took a look at him and seen how tall he was. She glance at the car and notice it was a silver Porsche.

"You should be careful where you do business you know that?" She shot back now looking in her bag for her keys. "People could be watching-"

"You was the only one watching-"

"Cameras" she smiled. "How you know this was my car? You watching me now?"

He chuckled to himself before turning his head looking at her through his tinted Ray Bans sunglasses. He stared at her taking in all of her beauty.

She's a petite little thing, he thought to himself.

"I don't even know you to be watching you ma-"

"Don't call me that" she spat cutting him off. She leaned to the side holding her bag in the crook of her arm. He couldn't help but chuckled and looked away revealing his tattoo on his neck.

"Anyway like I was saying I don't even know you to be watching you this is my car I'm waiting for somebody...ma"

She rolled her eyes and went back to her bag feeling his eyes burn a hole through her body.

"It's not polite to stare" she told him.

"You got some nerve" he scoffed. Just when she was about to say something she was interrupted by a dude walking up to them from behind.

"You ready O?"

"Yeah let's go" he told him before opening his door. "See you around" he continued before hopping in. She watched them both hop in his car before he started the engine and quickly drove off. Rolling her eyes, she grabbed her keys from her bag and unlocked the doors before hopping in heading straight to her fathers building, who own one of the biggest finance companies in the city, Indigo&J Inc.

"Hey daddy" she greeted walking into his office seeing him typing on his computer.

"Hey baby girl" he smiled. "How is your day going?"

"It's going good just had lunch with mama and Princess"

"That's good how is your uh business?"

"Everything is going well I'm so excited to be dropping my summer line next month and I'm thinking at the runway-"

"That's good baby girl did you see Bryan yet?"

"Uh no net yet"

"Oh well you should do that I think he wanted to talk to you about something" he told her.

"Uh okay I'll see you later love you"

"Yup love you too"

Skylar slowly walked out her dads office and headed to Bryan's. Four years ago Bryan got a job at Mr. Indigo company's and fell in love with his daughter, Skylar, once he laid eyes on her.

"Hey" She greeted with a smile but it quickly faded when she seen a young Caucasian women with long brunette hair dressed very revealing sitting on his desk. "Um-"

"This isn't what you think" Bryan quickly told her as Skylar kept her eyes on the girl who was now standing fixing her skirt. "This is my assistant um Jess this is Skylar my-"

"Girlfriend" she smiled cutting him off. "Can you give us a minute please?"

"Yes sure" Jess said before walking out.

"Assistant? Really? Dressed like that?"

"It's what they gave me but listen I'm going to be home late tonight-"

"Yeah just like last night and the night before that and the night before tha-"

"I know but since your father promoted me I have so much work to do I didn't think it be like this honestly I'm sorry" he said cutting her off.

"It's alright I just be binge watching Shameless on Netflix until you get home again"

"You are obsessed with that show" he laughed.

"It's really good babe you need to watch it but at my fashion show I'm thinking about-"

"Babe can we talk about this when I get home please I just have so much to do today" he stated cutting her off before walking away and sitting at his desk. She took a deep breath and took a quick look around at his new office.

"Uh yeah that's fine babe I see you tonight I have to meet Liberty and them anyway" she smiled softy.

"Oh where you guys going?"

"I don't know probably shopping and then dinner"

"Oh alright well have fun I'll see you tonight love you" he told her going through his files.

"Yup you too" she said walking out his office with a small frown across her face.

"Who was that?" Kofi asked his cousin, Osiris. They were driving through Philly enjoy the nice cool breeze heading to their spot.

"I don't know some girl" Osiris answered shrugging his shoulders looking out the window keeping his eyes on the road.

"Oh you knew her or something?"

"Nah her car was just parked right behind me and we just exchanged a few words while she was looking for her keys"

"Ooh okay" Kofi responded. He connected his phone to the aux cord and Future ft Drake Used to This started to play loudly through Osiris speakers. Kofi turned it up a little and Osiris turned back down to where it was before, just how he liked it. Kofi sucked his teeth and sat quietly all they to their place seeing his brothers car parked next to his in the driveway.

"Yoo June!!!" Kofi shouted out to his twin brother once they stepped inside. He didn't get answer so he called out his name again.

"He probably don't have his hearing aids in" Osiris told him heading straight to the fridge to get a bowl of cereal.

"Man please that nigga heard me he probably sleep" Kofi said heading upstairs.

Growing up, the only family Osiris knew were his twin cousins, Kofi and June, and vice versa with them. They were identical but you could tell them apart at the same time. Both standing at 6'1 tall with olive complexion smooth skin. Both had big round eyes and thick full pink lips with a strong jaw line that would make the ladies fall in love with them and they both kept their hair short showing off their waves. The difference between them was Kofi eyes are hazel and June eyes are light brown, June had dimples on both cheeks and Kofi only had one on the right side. While June was quiet and laid back, Kofi was wild and out going.

They were raised by their grandmother who they loved dearly. Where they came from everybody knew who they were and when they were young they never traveled alone and if you saw one best believe the other two were around.

"What happen? He good?" Osiris questioned when he saw Kofi entered the kitchen.

"Yeah he got company" Kofi said shrugging his shoulders. A few second later a beautiful chocolate colored female came walking down the steps with June coming down right behind her shirtless. Osiris shook his head and continued to eat his cereal hearing June talking to the broad he brought to the house.

"Iight I'll call you tonight" he said before pecking her lips. He watched her walk to her car before closing the door heading to the kitchen.

"That's the same girl you meant at the club a few weeks ago?" Osiris questioned.

"Yeah Liberty" he answered. "You used my almond milk?"

"Hell no nigga that shit nasty as fuck"

"Nigga regular white milk is nasty who drinks that shit"

"Milk is good fuck you talking about?"

"Nasty as hell Yoo O we not doing this right now" June argued back.

"It's the truth-"

"Y'all really arguing about milk right now?" Kofi chuckled.

"Yes!!" They both answered at the same time.

"Forget about all that did you tell her about the party we throwing?" Kofi question his brother.

"Yeah she said she going to bring her girls with her-"

"The same ones?" Kofi asked.

"Most likely"

"O wanted the thick light skin jawn-"

"She's bad as fuck yo I'm getting that next time" Osiris said munching on his cereal.

"Man listen I'm trying to bag every bitch that steps through that door and since Dre spreading the word around town I know everybody coming it's going to be movie" Kofi said leaning his chair back on the wall hoping the week goes by fast.
