A BIT OF STRANGE NEWS JUST MAY SCANDALIZE HER NAME

I've been writing a lot this week and didn't prepare any of my posts ahead of time. It's left me feeling a little out of sorts. I don't have a throwback Thursday, or a Thankful Thursday. It's gonna be a Tidbit Thursday.

Someone or somebodies are determined that Olivia's plans for a second shop will not advance. And they're determined to scandalize her name, if that will further their game. I'll show you what I'm working on in book 2 of The House of BeJeweled:

CHAPTER 16_STRANGE NEWS:


“Who are you in love with now, Ty?” a client asked.
“Nonya” he replied, with a smirk.
“Who is that?” the young girl asked.
“None of yo business,” Tyrone replied, and started laughing.
Olivia shook her head at his foolishness.
“Honey, don’t pay Ty no mind. He in love with somebody new every two weeks. He fall in love more than some folks get a paycheck,” Belinda cracked.
“Girlfriend at least I got somebody to fall for and I ain’t playing with them toys on lonely nights.”
“Ladies, gentleman, let’s not be crass,” Olivia corrected.
Tyrone put his hand over his mouth and apologized. He had not seen Olivia enter the hair salon from her office in the rear.
“Hey is that our shop?” Darla asked, pointing at the flat screen TV hanging on a wall overhead.
“Yeah. What’s going on?” Maya asked.
“Someone turn that up?” Belinda hollered out.
As they were turning up the volume, Olivia had risen from her chair and began fast walking towards her salon doors. She clicked the locks just as she saw someone attempting to enter.
“What the hell is going on?” Belinda asked, with her hands on her ample hips. Frown lines creased the folds of dark brown skin around her eyes, and across her forehead. She laid down her beveling iron to move closer to the TV screen. There wasn’t an eye that wasn’t glued to that tube except for Olivia’s. She was closing the blinds over the windows of the shop. When the waiting clients in the lobby noticed what she was doing, they jumped up to do the same thing.
“Mrs. O, come here and check this out,” Tyrone called.
“…and it happened right here in this very shop. Here’s a clip of that fight that occurred back in the spring.” The TV panned to a very clear shot of Angel and Kianna brawling in the middle of the hair section of BeJeweled.   If you enjoyed this post, I encourage you to share it with others by clicking the social media icon below.
