Free Lost in His Love 3 by Shantay Page A

down,” Kaylen said patting her chair.
    “How have you been?” Patricia asked.
    “I’ve been really good what about you?”
    “I’ve been great too I can’t wait to get my hair laid today. Roderick comes home today from the Army.”
    “I know you missed your man a lot.”
    “Girl too much,” she laughed.
    Kaylen laid Patricia’s hair to the Gods. She gave her a full weave with big bouncy curls that complimented her face. After a long three hours Patricia was done and walking out of the door. Kaylen had an hour left to herself before her next client. She went into her office to see if Ice called her. He did call her but she was working so she couldn’t answer. She grabbed a twenty from out of her wallet and her phone to call Ice back as she went across the street really fast to grab a protein smoothie for her break.
    “Wassup baby?” Ice said when he answered the phone.
    “Hey baby, what are you doing?”
    “About to head over Jared house in a minute what are you doing?”
    “Grabbing a smoothie from across the street really quick.”
    “What time are you coming home?”
    “In about four hours, I’m waiting for my next client.”
    “Meet me at Jared’s house when you get off of work alright?”
    “Alright I’ll be there.”
    They talked a little while longer until Ice headed over to Jared’s house. Even though he was in town for Kaylen he still had some business to take care of. Donte had dropped off one of his cars he wasn’t driving for Ice to use while he was in town. He had dropped it off to Kaylen’s house earlier during the week since Kaylen only had one car.
    Ice, Jared, and Donte had to go over their numbers for the month. All three men had something to bring to the table to help out their business. Ice did all of the accounting and keeping track of the numbers, Jared was responsible for the product, and Donte handled the connect. They had their operation down pat. Ice drove up the long driveway and walked straight into the house since Jared had the door opened for him.
    “Wassup?” Ice said walking into the house finding Jared in the kitchen.
    “Wassup bruh, you good?” Jared asked.
    “Yeah I’m straight wassup little man?” Ice said to Justin.
    “Donte said he’s five minutes away so let’s go in the office,” Jared said before taking Justin upstairs to Jasmine.
    In the office Ice automatically went into boss mode and started to work. He was very serious when he was adding up his numbers. One little mistake could cost someone their life. When Donte came over he also got to work. For hours the three of them stayed locked up in the office taking care of business until everything was perfect.
    Kaylen had arrived to Jared’s house a while ago but she didn’t bother Ice because she knew how serious he was when he’s taking care of business. She was in the backyard with Jasmine and Mariah watching the children run around and play together. She knew something was wrong with Mariah because she looked irritated.
    “What’s wrong with you?” Kaylen asked Mariah.
    “Nothing is wrong,” Mariah nonchalantly said.
    “Bitch stop lying. You’ve been acting funny for a minute,” Jasmine said sipping on her wine. Kaylen and Jasmine both gave her a look that told her to spill the tea.
    “Fine. I think Donte is cheating on me,” she blurted out.
    Both Jasmine and Kaylen’s eyes opened wide. Mariah and Donte always kept their problems at home and it was very rare to know that they were going through something. It was sad to even think that Donte would hurt Mariah in that way. Mariah has been having an eerie feeling about Donte ever since they came back from Cabo. Donte denied every accusation Mariah accused him of but her woman intuition told her something different.
    “You lying,” Kaylen said.
    “No I’m not. When we was in Cabo some bitch was blowing up his phone then we got into this big ass argument over it. I don’t see how bitches even have his number to begin with. I really
