a flawless seven carat princess cut engagement ring with diamonds encrusted into the platinum band.
    "Is this for real?"
    "What you think? I told you I was gon' make you my wife."
    "Oh my God, Quan, we gettin' married for real?" she exclaimed as he placed the ring onto her finger.
    "Yep, just set a date and I'll be there."
    "Baby, I love you so much! I can't wait to show Mina and them!"

#1
    After taking Quan home to retrieve one of his five cars, Mo hopped back on the highway headed toward Mina's Joint Salon and Spa. It was a Friday so the place was packed. Mo was greeted with a warm welcome as soon as she walked through the door.
    "What up, Mo?" all the stylists spoke.
    "Hey, everybody!"
    "Well look what the cat dragged in! We ain't seen yo' ass all week!" Delicious, Mo's friend and stylist, announced.
    "Delicious, hush, 'cause a bitch got good news."
    "What? Jay-Z left Beyonce for Rihanna? Or no, better yet, Remy Ma finally took that tired-ass blond weave from out the front of her head!"
    "Neither." Mo rolled her eyes. "Me and Quan are engaged!" she gushed, showing off her ring.
    "The world must be gettin' ready to end! Gurl , let me see that ring!" Delicious brought her hand closer so that he could get a better look.
    "Oh shit! This muthafucka hot! Ain't got no flaws or nothing! Quan really out did his self! Congratulations, Miss Thang, you finally locked that nigga down!"
    "Congratulations, Mo!" everybody in the shop roared.
    "Thank you."
    "What is going on out here?" asked Mina, her best friend of sixteen years, as she came from the back of the shop.
    " Gurl you ain't gon' believe it! Quan's trifling ass finally asked Mo to marry him!" Delicious joked.
    "Watch it nigga, that's my fiance you talkin' about now."
    "You go girl!" Mina hugged her friend. "So when y'all gon' set a date?"
    "I don't know. I'm just happy he finally asked," Mo answered, taking a seat in Delicious' empty styling chair.
    "All I can say is it's about time you locked that nigga down.
    Hell, as much shit that nigga done put you through, he should've gave you a ring years ago," Delicious continued.
    "Right. I just hope now he'll act right."
    "Let me tell you something, honey, gettin' a ring or having good pussy ain't gon' change no man ... but a fire-ass blow job will make a nigga reconsider his position."
    "You ignorant as hell!" Mina couldn't help but laugh.
    "Shit, he ain't lyin', he tellin' the truth," Mo agreed. "It took me nine years of dealing wit his bullshit just to get the ring. It's probably gon' take nine more years to get his ass down the aisle."
    "I hope not. Don't think like that."
    "You're right, girl, I have to stay positive. Plus, we're gonna try to have another baby."
    "Really?"
    "Yeah, so hopefully Quan will try to change." The words weren't even good out of Mo's mouth when her cell phone began to ring. It was Quan.
    "Hold up y'all, this my boo. Hello?"
    "Where you at?"
    "At the shop. Why? What's up?"
    "Nothing, I was just callin' to tell you that I might be home a little late tonight."
    "Okay."
    "You gon' wait up for me?"
    "Of course." She blushed. "Just call me when you're on your way home."
    "A'ight, love you."
    "Love you too."
    "See, I told you. All you gotta do is have a little faith." Mina teased Mo as she got off the phone.
    "I know. I guess he really is trying to change." And Mo was right. Quan was really trying to do right by her this time. He had all the intentions in the world on being faithful and settling down. He was determined to change.
    There would be no more kicking it in the club until the wee hours of the morning, drinking and smoking. He wouldn't have sex with random chicks just because he could. From now on, he wanted to keep his fist and dick controlled at all times.
    Mo was the number one person in his life. She was special and he knew that a woman of her caliber didn't come around too often. Out of all the chicks he had ever messed with, she was the only one to capture his heart. She stood by his side when
