Torn Between The Two

Omniscient

It had been a week since Amir had left for the business trip with his dad.

His dad was somewhat in the drug game, has been his entire life and Amir got caught up in it. Realizing that he couldn't convince his son to leave it, he decided to make him his right hand man.

Currently, they were all the way in Hawaii dealing with some new connections.
He tried his best to keep in contact with Ximena even if he had to fight his sleep most nights.

He really did have love for Ximena, but there were a few things he failed to tell her and he knew it would only be time before it caught up to him.

He decided that when he got back it would be the perfect time to tell her.

Ximena couldn't lie, she missed Amir a whole lot.
Texting and FaceTiming wasn't doing her any justice and it really made her sad.
To help her forget their current situation, she threw herself into work intensely, when she finished her shifts at the hospital she headed to her candle store to be more involved in the renovation.
Even though she didn't need to, it helped her clear her mind of anything that was bothering her.

After leaving the store, she got in her car and made her way to her apartment.
"Hey bestieee. I cooked" she made her way further into her apartment as she heard Farrah moving around in her kitchen.

She was ready to take a shower and just relax a bit.

After getting out of her shower, she got dressed in some comfortable clothes and finally joined Farrah in the kitchen.
"Damn girl you're cooking up a storm in here. What's the occasion?" She grabbed a bottle of water and emptied every single drop down her throat.

"I can't cook for you? You've been working so hard since Amir left, you haven't taken any time to take care of yourself." Farrah made her bestfriend a plate.
"So I'm cooking for you tonight so you can have enough leftovers until you decide you're tired of it and tomorrow we're going to get our hair done, mani and pedi and then we're going out"

She smiled at how much Farrah always went out of her way to make sure her bestie wasn't killing herself.
"Okay that sounds good"
"Of course it does. Now let's eat then go sleep"

The next day the girl were on their way to their hair appointment that Farrah made.
They walked in and saw hairstylists looking after clients. There wasn't much convo going on but that's just how they liked it.

"Hey ladies. Do you guys have appointments?" A pretty girl asked.
"Yes girl we do. Under Farrah Hendricks and Ximena Carter"
The girl checked her iPod then nodded.
"Appointment for Farrah and Ximena at 10. Okay, your hairstylist for today is Jazmin and Tyra respectively. They're right back there waiting for you"
They looked to where the two girls were waiting.
They thanked her then walked off.

"Hey I'm Jazmin. You said you just want it dyed in black and curled, am I right?"
"Yes girl" Farrah said getting comfortable in the chair.
Jazmin nodded.

"Hey love I'm Tyra. Your friend didn't confirm a style for you. Do you have any in mind?" She asked.

"Yes I do. I recently bought some bundles and a frontal. I just wanna get it installed" Tyra nodded and collected the hair from Ximena.
