Claiming My King || Darkness Book #2 ✔️

Chapter 07 | Refreshed

Stacey's Pov

"I have to go mum" I say to her down the phone annoyed even more now.
I have an appointment at Angel's new salon that I've had for a while now planned and Victor wanted to see Mya so being the nice lovely Stacey I am, I said yes. Then he let's me down on the day. 'Something came up' apparently and his daughter is never a fucking priority.
"I'm sorry hunny, I can take her after if you like, I'll be back by then" mum says and I sigh.
"No mum, it's fine, I'll just take her and hope they don't mind. She'll be asleep anyway. I'll see you later" I say putting my coat on and walking around grabbing everything I need for Mya.
"Alright bye, sweetheart" she says and I think of Trent. I miss him and I have no idea where he went but he's just vanished. He'd help me.
I take Mya out of her bouncer, and take her into my bedroom to put on her coat and shoes.
"Dont worry baby, mummy's always got you" I coo to her and she smiles. So cute.

Climbing out my car, I take out her pushchair and set the frame up then take her out the car seat putting her into the carrycot to sleep better. Locking up my car, I take a deep breath and walk into the salon. A younger woman comes walking up to me smiling..
"Oh my god, she's adorable.. and so small" she says looking into the pushchair then back at me. I smile at her thankful she didnt kick us out.
"Yeah, she's getting big fast, babe" I tell her smiling looking down at my baby sleeping.
"Seline's ready for you hun, we'll take care of little one here" she says and I feel a little unsure not knowing her, but she smiles reassuring me and I can see her perfectly from where I'll be.
"Ohh, okay.. thank you babe my names Stacey by the way" I introduce myself confidently.
"Angelica hunny" she says and smiles taking Mya and parks her off the the side with a pregnant girl and I walk over to this Seline. I hope babygirl stays asleep being left with them.
"What colour babe?" Seline asks me and I smile at her and pull out my phone.
"Black please, like this" I tell her showing her the picture as I think of Liam and how I loved him in all black too. Damn hot.
"Great let's get started then" she says and I nod giving her a smile holding out my hands.

"That's done for you hun, was there anything else?" She asks me smiling.
"My brows please hun, and my hair needs washing and I want blonde balayage please, with a trim. It's getting wild" I tell her chuckling and she waves of my criticism.
"Great, let's do it" I tell her and she leads me over to the chair where I lay back a little and close my eyes. I wish I were doing this and so much more for my king. Like the last time at the mansion. I wanna give him all of me all over again. I won't give up on him. He is my forever. I just have to wait for him to realise that I am damn miserable without him. My babygirl gives me happiness but it's short lived and I hate that I'm not who I wanna be for her but I can't help but feel like there's a hole in my heart where Liam should be.
"All done hun" Seline tells me after she's waxed, plucked and shaped my brows. I sit up glad to be out of the mild pain.
"Thanks babe, I love them" I tell her looking in the mirror she hands to me.
"You're more than welcome babe" she says and leaves me to admire myself. I seriously like my nails though, the medium coffin shape black tips on two and three full black nails with jewels and I love them. Putting the mirror down, I walk out over to Seline checking on my babygirl still asleep.
Making my way over to the wash basin, I lay back with my eyes closed and let her massage my scalp as she washes my hair then conditions it. A towel gets put over my hair and I'm escorted to a seat in front of a vanity and a large mirror.
"Can you just take off my dead ends and shape up my bangs again please" I tell her and she nods, smiling at me.
"Of course, whatever you want" she says and I smile at her through the mirror.

"How's that?" she asks me and I nod, loving it. I'm officially kind of.. blonde.. lets hope Liam loves it.. if I ever see him again.
I close my eyes while she blow drys my hair straight then runs the straightening irons over it after, curling the ends. She shows me again from the back and I love freshly cut hair.
"I love it! Thank you so much for everything" I say giddy at her and she grins.
"You're more than welcome babe. Well, you're all done and look fabulous" she says and I get up smiling, grabbing my purse and make my way to my babygirl. She's gonna wake up for her feed soon.
"Thanks Angelica, I feel so much better now" I flip my hair over my shoulder and smile at her happily. I feel a lot better actually.
"You look incredible, show the baby dad what he's missing" she says chuckling then smiles and I smirk. Imagine if I seen Liam now! My King. Getting hot just thinking about it.
"You know what. I will babes, thanks for watching her" I say gesturing to Mya in the pushchair.
"It's okay, she's asleep still, such a good baby clearly" she tells me and I nod and smile at her exiting the salon with a wave.
After putting Mya into the car and the pushchair in the boot I make my way back home feeling refreshed and happy about myself. I arrive back and take Mya out the car in her car seat and make my way to the elevator. Stepping inside I ride up and step out the open doors and I see Victor standing there. Ugh great..
"What are you doing here Victor? You was suppose to come this morning, not now" I tell him and he looks me over licking his lips.. Eww no.. Been there, done that. No thanks. Never again.
"You look so sexy babygirl, I come to see you" he tells me licking his lips again and I nearly gag. He hasn't even looked at Mya once.. his fucking daughter.
"What about Mya?" I ask him and he shrugs.
"I came here for you, not the kid" he says and my blood boils. I slap him across the face and push past him..
"What the fuck was that for? Let's go inside and sort this" he says annoyed but I laugh.
"You know you don't come in here Victor. I have nothing to say to you anymore. If you want to see Mya, then call me otherwise don't" I tell him pushing open the door and shutting it behind me. I can't be dealing with this crap. I need to stay positive for my baby and there's no way that someone like Victor is gonna burst my bubble. My days gonna be a good one. I can feel it.
