"You seem more glowy, Sebastian.", Scarlett had sat her client down on the dryers then came up to me. "I don't know what you mean.", I continue to do one of my usuals hair. Mrs. Graham chimed in, "Ah, Sebastian, I've noticed it too. You have a bounce in your step.", I smile at her through the mirror. "Probably because I knew you were coming Mrs. Graham.", she scoffed smiling, "Such a charmer". Scarlett smiled more, "I'm serious, Sebastian. It's very noticeable.", I shrugged her off as she subtly rolled her eyes and went back to her client.
I hear the front door open by the jingle of the bell but continue to keep my focus on Mrs. Graham's hair. "Hi guys. Scott, you can start on the right side today.", I look up and see Scott and Chris shift over to the right wall. I look back at Mrs. Graham's hair, "Such handsome boys.", I nodded, "Wonder what fountain they're drinking from". She laughed, "You're not any less beautiful, Sebastian. I bet you can sweep anyone off their feet.", I chuckled, "Looks can only get you so far. Everyone is waiting for skill". She waved me off, smiling then kept watching the boys who were working on the wall. Chris was taping for Scott's outline while Scott sketched in the space. I had a bit of a view for work.
Moments later, I'm counting the drawer then Scarlett leans on me, "Hey, handsome. Do you want to do a girl a favor?", I turn and look at her, "Is that what you are?", I received a punch in the arm as the boys on the other side of the room laughed. "For that comment, you go get me food.", I rolled my eyes, "like I had a choice, hon".
I finish counting the money and set it back in the drawer.

I come back with a bag of food which caused Scarlett to bounce off the couch in the waiting area. "I see it got dead after I went out to get food.", she shrugged, "The cute one left sooo", I rolled my eyes, "You're so funny". I bring two separate bags to the boys who were pretty much covered in paint. "Here you guys are.", Scott took the bags and handed one to Chris, "Thanks".
I nodded and went to the back to open some boxes that came in the previous week with some products we ordered. I heard a knock on the door and I already jump to an assumption on knowing who exactly was on the other side. I went and opened it, proving my thoughts correct as Chris stood there, looking at me. "Can we talk real quick?", I nodded and let him in then back to pulling out products then setting them on the counter. "What's up?", I look at him, he seemed a bit nervous in his stance which was very rare from him. He looked at me, "I wanted to finally ask if you are willing to go out with me? Just once.", I chuckled, "Only once?", he smiled, "I can read body language. You don't seem to be comfortable of the idea of dating me or anyone I guess". I let my smile fade a bit and looked at the product bottles, "I'll go out with you", I look at him, "As long as you want me to".

"Never he said. I would never date him!", I rolled my eyes as Scarlett messed with my hair, getting spots I may have missed. "Oh hush. I get it, okay?", I chuckled, "Never would go out with the handsome blonde boy. Never.", I shook my head, walking out of the bathroom and away from Scarlett, laughing. "Hey. I wasn't finish", I ran my fingers through my hair, "You are now, my dear."
"Where is your prince charming taking you?", I shrugged at her, "I think he's gonna spend some money on you". I shook my head, "God, I hope not. I will have the urge to return it.", she groaned, "No because I'm not gonna hear another hour long phone call of you two arguing back and forth. You guys haven't even had one date yet and you two bicker like an old married couple."
I chuckled, "I don't believe we'd get that far.", she rolled her eyes, "we'll see, love". We hear the apartment intercom buzz, letting me know Chris is downstairs, waiting. Scarlett rushed past me and went to the intercom, "who is it?", she smiled as Chris responded, "it's your other best friend". She giggled and buzzed him in, "other best friend?", she turned to me and cupped my face, "aww jealous much? Of course you're my first and forever, Seb.", she kissed my cheek and hugged me tightly as I hugged back tighter, chuckling.
