Ice had the prospects carry her stuff to his room. "If you want a waitress job at the bar until you find another salon, I could set you up." Raine replied. "It's looking like I'm going to have to find a new profession." Kim replief. "Is there really nowhere you could work? I know how much you love it. And you are amazing at it! The best in the area in my opinion." Raine replied. "Yeah, it's all I've ever wanted to do. But I love Ice more, and I love being near my best friends." Kim replied. "How hard would it be to have your own salon?" Raine asked. "I'd love to but afraid that's not happening. It takes a lot of money that I don't have. And I'm not asking my parents." Kim replied. "There are business loans." Sam replied. "What about Ice?" Raine asked. "What about Ice?" Ice asked. The girls jumped as they were so engrossed in their conversation, they hadn't heard him come up behind them. "I was asking Kim about her opening her own Salon." Raine explained. "That's a great id

They opened the doors and there was a line of people who crowded in. Half of it was the MC, but the other half are Kim's long time customers. After about thirty minutes Ginger came over to Kim. "Ok so I already got the first two weeks booked. I know you said only walk ins today, but some are begging to make an appointment to make sure you get them in today." Ginger replied. "Just tell them to sign in, and I will get to them. But 7pm is my cut off. No names added after that. As that time frame will put me in here till probably midnight." Kim explained. "Ok boss." Ginger replied. "Please. Just Kim." Kim pleaded. "You can call me boss." Ice grinned. Kim smacked him in the chest shaking her head no. "Hey, don't get funny with my Old lady!" I.T. warned. "Ok enough! I gotta get back to hair. Now all of you scoot and make yourself useful. Help Ginger with customers and help make them comfortable while they wait. We're gonna be here awhile!" Kim commanded. "I'll get the drinks." Rain

"Hmm?" Ice asked still looking at the paper he had in his hands. "Are you listening to me?" Kim demanded. "Yeah baby." Ice agreed. "Really?" She asked. "Uh huh." He replied. "So, I guess it's ok for me to go strip since I have no clients for today." Kim asked. "What the fuck are you talking about? No way in hell are you stripping! No woman of mine is doing that shit!" Ice huffed. "So, I have your attention now?" Kim asked. "Shit! Yes. What's wrong?" Ice asked. "Someone cancelled all my appointments for today." Kim replied. "Who and why?" Ice asked. "If I knew the damn answer, do you think I'd be in here asking you?" Kim huffed. "Look, I'm sorry. I'm just buried up in paperwork and was distracted." Ice explained. "Never mind, I'm going to go do walk ins." Kim huffed. "Babe?" Ice asked. Kim got up and walked out. She did walk ins for the rest of the day and left while Ice was still in the office. She was feeling bitchy and decided to go home and take a nice long hot bath

"Baby you were stressed enough. And I didn't take her serious. I guess that was my mistake." Ice replied. "Don't ever keep anything like that from me ever again. We're supposed to be in this relationship together, and if it affects one, it affects both." Kim replied. "Never again, you have my word." Ice assured her. "Fine. Then I guess my answer is yes." Kim replied. "When?" Ice asked. "We can go to the courthouse. But we won't be able to do a honeymoon now." Kim replied. "How about a short one? Say we go to the courthouse and leave Thursday morning and come back Sunday night?" Ice asked. "I can try to reschedule some of my appointments, and maybe stay open later that Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. If I can get everyone in those three days then I can take off Thursday through Sunday." Kim replied. "So next week?" Ice asked. "The week after. I'll try to get more in this week too, so I'm not rushing before we leave." Kim replied."When do you go to the doctor?" Ice asked. "

Sam is a 24-year-old nurse. She finished her education and moved when she got an offer at a very prestigious hospital. It also allowed her to move away from her past problems and controlling parents. Sam's parents were very well off. They expected things of her that she wasn't willing to do. Her two lifelong best friends moved with her. Raine who’s taking online college classes and Kim who’s a beautician.This is the beginning of Sam's story. Sam walked into the hospital and reported to the HR department. The lady there was very nice and helped her with all the paperwork she needed to do. Once she finished in HR, the lady instructed her to report to the Emergency Room.
