Page 53 of His Four Leaf Clover

“I’m good, baby. These niggas ain’t my only employees. As long as Junior do his part before they leave, it’s all good.” Hank always said that he wanted to learn the paperwork side of his business and, at one point, he did. But, with time came change and the shit seemed intimidating at times. Dash did everything on the computer and that only made it worse.

“Shit, just tell me when and where. Me and my wife stay ready,” Dash replied.

“Yay! Let me call my mama and tell her it’s a go.” Amina was excited.

And just like that, the mood turned from shit to sugar. Everybody pitched in to get the rest of the food done, and they finished right as the guests started arriving. Dot was happy to see her parents enjoying themselves with all their kids and grandkids. The party ended at almost two in the morning, but nobody was complaining.

Two weeks later, Amina and Fonzo were enjoying the sandy beaches in Cancun along with his brothers and their significant others. She didn’t think it was possible to book a trip so fast but her parents had an amazing travel agent. It was pricey, but she managed to get them on a beautiful all-inclusive adult only resort. Their rooms were on the same floor with a swim-up area that included a private balcony and hot tub. Even better was her parents footing the bill for everything. They were so appreciative of how Fonzo’s family welcomed them in and they wanted to show their appreciation. Amina was a homebody, so they wanted her to have fun as well. All she and her crew had to do was give the travel agent their info and pack.

“Get it, Emily. Show that man why he put a ring on it!” Clover yelled as she hyped up her new friend.

“Clover is nuts,” Amina laughed as she and Dash recorded Clover dancing and enjoying herself at the beach wedding reception.

Amina was so happy that everybody was able to accompany them on vacation. Monty and Iva hadn’t come out of their room yet, but Clover was a whole vibe. There was a wedding on the beach and the guests were just sitting around drinking and talking. The DJ was bullshit and so was the music that he was playing. Clover gave him her phone and he played her entire Nola Bounce playlist. The bride seemed kinda shy, but Clover had her up twerking on her new husband and he was all smiles.

After that, the other guests got up and started enjoying themselves as well. Before long, Amina, Fonzo and Dash were invited to come to their private area and party with them too. The four of them stood out, especially since they were the only blacks in attendance.

“Don’t be scared to spank that ass, Chris. You got papers on it now.” Clover had the groom slapping his wife’s ass as she tried her best to back it up on him. They were both uncoordinated but they were having a good time.

“My sis gon’ have fun no matter where she goes,” Fonzo laughed, as they watched Clover interact with the crowd.

She had the mic and she was really the life of the party. Clo reminded him so much of Diva. She wasn’t shy and she knew how to have fun. She even had Amina coming out of her shell, and he was happy that his brothers came.

“Whew, I’m tired as hell. Chris ‘bout to knock all the guts out of Emily tonight. My boy said he’s trying to make a baby tonight.” Clover was out of breath when she sat in the lounge chair right next to Amina.

“Here, girl, you look like you can use this.” Amina handed Clover a bottle of water.

“Thanks, sis. We’re invited to their yacht party tomorrow. Y’all down?” Clo looked around for answers.

“Who got a yacht party?” Dash asked.

“The newlyweds. The groom’s family is paid out the ass. His people got property out here and his daddy is sending his yacht for them tomorrow. They got property in Jamaica, New York and Canada. Both his parents are neurosurgeons, but they were born into money even before that. Look at this yacht, it’s huge and nice as hell.” Clover showed them the pictures on her phone. Fonzo grabbed it out of her hand to get a better look.

“Seriously, Lucky, you were only over there for an hour. How do you know all them people business like that?” Dash shook his head and laughed.

“They told me. Where is Iva and Monty?”

“Still in the room, I guess.” Amina shrugged.

“That yacht is nice as hell. We need to be on that thang.” Fonzo was impressed. He had been on a yacht before but never one as big.

“I already told them that we’re a party of six but they really want us to come,” Clover replied.

“They really want you to come but I’m down. I don’t mind an invite by association,” Amina joked.

“What time is our excursions? The man said to make sure we’re downstairs by the front desk before pick up time,” Dash reminded them.

“We got time,” Clover replied while looking at her phone.

“Yes, I’m so excited. We need to get ready and make sure Iva and Monty are ready too.”

Amina was all smiles, and that made her husband smile in return. She had been on vacation multiple times but she usually just relaxed. Fonzo wanted her to chill since she was pregnant, but they weren’t doing anything strenuous to jeopardize their baby. He asked the tour guide a million questions just to be sure. All six of them were doing the jet cars and all three women wanted to swim with the dolphins.

“Yeah, I need to see why they never came downstairs. The hell they got going on like that,” Clover replied.

The four of them got up and headed back inside to their rooms. Clover knocked on Iva and Monty’s door but didn’t get an answer. She tried calling both their phones and was met with the same results.

“I hope they’re ok.” Amina was starting to get worried.
