Kalisha's house

9 pm

Kalisha's POV

"Shani... Ebele!" Calling out their names.

"How far?" Shani asking me what is up. They both walk inside my room, noticing a huge smile on my face.

"What is it?" Ebele asks.

"Njau just texted me..." I tell them, but get interrupted.

"Wait, Njau? Heii Gawd, he's back! What did he say?" Shani squeals out of excitement and Ebele is smiling.

"This is what he said: Hey my love, I know it's been two months since we saw each other. I know you missed me so much and I miss you as well. My surgery officially ended and I'm better than ever. I will return to your place in four hours. Can't wait to see the love of my life again. I love you." I read to them.

"Aww," They said in unison.

"We should make a quick welcome back party for him since we didn't get to celebrate his birthday," I suggested.

"That's a great idea. What should we do?" Ebele asks.

"I will call up Mitch and Kelsy so that they can handle the decorations and cake. I will have my mom cook the Nigerian food because I know Njau enjoys our food. Shani will help with the outfits and makeup. Ebele, you will do my hair. Is that alright?" I ask.

"Certainly. What hairstyle do you want?" Ebele asks.

"I want to dye my hair red without using any bleach, but I don't want the color to be too dark or too light. Can you do that?" I ask.

"Yes," Ebele replied.

"Let me just call the rest and tell them what is happening. Then, we can begin."

Thirty minutes later, I got done telling everyone else about the surprise party we're doing for Njau. Now, I'm sitting on a chair waiting for my hair to be dyed.

"Ebele, I'm ready to dye my hair!" I called out.

"What supplies should I use?" Ebele asks.

"I got L'Oréal high color highlight natural blonde in my bag of hair products. I should let you know that I already dyed my hair brown two days ago. My hair is naturally black, but for it to change into red, I needed to make it brown first. I had to wait for two days before I used red because my hair would damage if I constantly added dye." I said.

"As you can see, my ends are a lot darker than my roots. My roots will always be the brightest, but my ends are one dark tone. I let the brown dye sit on my hair for ten minutes before rinsing it." I added. Ebele went to the closet to grab my bag full of hair products.

"So, you want me to do the same thing when you dyed your hair brown?" Ebele curiously asks.

"I will guide you through it. Can you also call Shani? I want to discuss with you both." I demanded and Ebele yells her name. Then, she arrives.

"Yes?" She asks.

"While Ebele is doing my hair, I want all of us to chill and gist," I said.

"Alright, what do you want to talk about?" She asks.

"I miss Jymia," I tell them. Ebele opens the highlight box and pulls out the sets of dye.

"Aww, I miss her too." She said.
