Kybella Vonshire

“So, what are we doing this weekend? I want to celebrate Brian’s conviction. I don’t have to look over my shoulders in fear of him anymore. Bella stated as they arrived in Dallas.

Adonis smiled. “I have a surprise for you first.

Then we can do whatever you’d like.

” He glanced over at the driver as he proceeded to drive to the designated surprise.

It was the middle of the day.

All Kybella wanted to do was go home and spend quality time with her man.

Once again, Adonis had other plans.

She watched him the entire limo ride.

He was full of surprises, but she loved every minute of it.

“Babe, it looks like we’re going to the stadium for a game. Then she thought about it. Her bakery was right next to the stadium. “Babe, you’re not slick!

” The limo driver parked the car and let her out.

African dancers began to perform and drop petals at her feet.

Brian opened the bakery’s door.

“Surprise!” Bella’s family members yelled out.

“Surprise! Congratulations on your sneak peek event to your bakery!” Adonis yelled.

“We are kicking things off before the desserts hit the shelves.” Then Mama Vonshire and Samantha popped out from behind the curtains.

They gave her a congratulatory hug.

“What a mighty God I serve! I have a mighty good man in you Adonis.” She said.

She smiled while tapping her fingers against her forehead, thinking.

“Maybe we can have some alone time and watch movies tonight..” He blushed from her statement.

Then he grabbed her and kissed her softly on the lips.

“Thank you so much for bringing all my family together for my grand opening. I love how it turned out. I see you’ve painted the walls blush pink, just like I wanted. You even added a picture of us on the wall. I can’t wait to put you to work in here with me on your off days.”

“I don’t mind as long as I’m working alongside you, boss lady.” He spoke.

Then she took notice of an apron hanging on the wall near the kitchen.

The apron had Pastry Chef printed on it in pink letters.

“Baby, it’s time to blow out your candles on your cake to symbolize your celebration of your new business venture. He took her hand to guide her towards the three-tier cake. Everyone surrounded her as she blew out the candles on the cake. He took her inside the kitchen to show her the refrigerator. It was stocked with eggs, cream cheese, milk, heavy cream, yogurt and a plethora of ingredients needed for baking. “So, what do you think?”

“I think you’ve provided me with everything I need for a successful bakery. I’m sure the cost was over fifty thousand dollars to fix this place up. I know because I’ve priced everything already.”

“I know you did, and I found the estimate at home. I took it upon myself to pay for it all to be done.”

“Game, you are something else.”

“I’ve also spoken to my agent. Your company, Love At First Bite is now the sponsor for all the Maverick events. Plus, your company’s treats will be served at our concession stands! How do you like me now?” He asked while dancing around her.

Then he unveiled the banner on the wall that listed the company’s name as a Dallas Mavericks sponsor beside it.

Everyone in the building began to applaud after the banner unveiling.

“Since, we’re all gathered here. I want all my guests to know that I’m hiring. My business is about to glow-up so much that I need help immediately. If you would like to work with me, please talk to me later. I’d like to thank everyone for showing up for my grand opening. I especially want to thank my man. If it weren’t for him believing in me, none of this would be possible. God heard my cry and answered every single prayer that I uttered to him. Lord, I thank you.”

Her family and friends listened to her testimony in awe.

If they weren’t believers before coming to her grand opening, she made them one that day.

Seeing her being honored and loved out loud by another man, people could see that God was doing something in Bella’s life.

She felt motivated and uplifted by the support she received.

“Hey, sister. I heard you’re hiring.” Samantha said.

“Yes, I’m hiring. Do you know anyone looking for a job?” Bella arched a brow as she asked.

Samantha, I know that look on your face.

What’s going on?

”

“Well, mom found a house in Dallas near you. Plus, I was just offered a job as the Dallas Wings coach. So, I’m moving with mom to help her. I was thinking about working with you. I don’t want you to do it alone. We’re family, so let’s do this together. What do you think, big sister?”

“Yes, you’re hired!” She pulled her in for a hug.

“Hold on sister. I know you’re happy and all but you’re making me mess up my hair and make-up.” Samantha joked.

“What about Malik?”

“Girl, yes. he couldn’t let me go. I’m the best thing that ever happened to him. All jokes aside, he wanted to move back to Dallas. He has a couple of gigs lined up. Now he’s thinking about starting his own security business. He wants to take control of life. I’m all for supporting his business venture. I kind of like him a lot.” Samantha bragged.

“Well, since he’s starting his own security business, can I hire him to work as my guard too? I want to become his first client. Tell him I’m willing to pay him a $5000 signing bonus.”

“In that case, let me text him to ask first.

Samantha: Hey babe, I was wondering if you’d be interested in working as security at my sister’s business. They’re looking for someone, and I thought you might be up for it. Let me know what you think!

Malik: Yeah, I’m down! Let me know the details later!

“It’s settled, he’ll take the job!

” Samantha blurted out.

Adonis ran to them to see what the commotion.

“What’s going on baby?” He asked.

“With everything that’s been going on lately, I can’t help but feel like another emergency is around the corner. It seems like there’s always something.”

“You’re looking at my first employee, Samantha. She has also informed me that Malik is going into business for himself. I’ve offered to become his first client.”

“I’m impressed baby. You’re already making boss moves. Do your thang.” He said as he hit her on the butt.

“Ladies and gentlemen that concludes the sneak peek event of Love At First Bite. We’ll be setting up the business social media pages soon. Once they are set-up, please follow the shop on all social media sites for updates. Please subscribe to the website www.lokepub.com to receive a notification when the shop is open for business. Bella will keep you updated on the first official opening day. Also, follow Bella and Adonis’s YouTube channel. I plan to make her my wife one day. Our channel will highlight the journey of making her my wife in the future.” He pulled Bella in close for a kiss after the announcement.

The crowd gave them one final applause as the ceremony ended.

After the applause was over, Bella announced, “After all I’ve been through, I was saved by the Game.”
