-Flirt-

Part 1

"ERIKA,WAKE YOUR ASS UP!"
,Kendall hollered as her roommate slept through her alarm clock. She scrambles out of bed not even bothering to make it up. She picked up clothes from the floor of her room and found her bag. She was out the door before Kendall even had a chance to tell her to have a good day.
" Nasty ass,"
Kendall muttered.This was the dynamic between the duo. Erika was typically messy ,while Kendall was neat. But together they were a party.
Kendall danced her way to the door to close it since Erika forgot. Lauryn Hill played all throughout the duo's two bedroom apartment.
For once, Kendall didn't have work at the hospital (residency ain't no joke) and decided to take advantage of it. Candles burned and music flowed as Kendall ate her breakfast of avocado toast and fruit.
When she was done, she took a much needed shower and found a cute outfit. She took her time with her makeup because in her words 'ain't no one gon catch me slippin'.
She had a tattoo appointment set and she was excited. Normally, she would go to her usual but she moved and driving four hours did not seem very appealing. She had booked a black woman (because we support black businesses) and was super hype. She put on her sneakers and made her way to the car.
The drive was only about thirty minutes and listening to Kendrick and Smino certainly helped it fly by.
She pulled into modern white building with big letters saying 'INK LAIR'.

Heads glanced up at the woman and swiftly went down as she walked through the door. Kendall walked to the receptionist, an older white lady with sleeves on both arms.
" Hi, I'm here because I have a appointment with Malia!"
Kendall said perkily. The receptionist pursed her lips and looked through her computer.
"Ma'am I'm sorry but Malia is out. She had a family death yesterday and says she may be gone for a week."
The graying women said in a sympathetic tone. "Oh,"
is all Kendall could say. She booked this appointment weeks ahead and it was rare for her to have a free day.
"We have some wonderful other artists that could take you now though!"
"Could I see the other artist's portfolios?"
"Yes, here ma'am!"
A huge black book was thrust into Kendall's hands. She sat alone in the lobby and looked through the book. Twenty minutes into the book she found one artist that truly impressed her. A beautiful moth and wolf tattoo caught her eye.
"Hi, could you get the artist who did these to do my tattoo?"
Kendall asked with hope.
"Yes, I'll go get him now!"
The lady smiled and got up.
