I walked into the tattoo shop and got settled in. It was packed, but it didn't matter cause I have an appointment.

I'm not waiting hours for nobody to service me.

I've been trying to be outside lately to distract me from my reality. It's been easy, but at the same time I honestly just want to be in bed.

My mom agreed to let me continue to stay alone. She just calls my phone a thousand times a day.

"Ja'Nae" I heard somebody call my name before I looked up and my heart dropped. It was the girl from footlocker, she fine as hell.

Nothing more, nothing less.

She motioned for me to follow her so that's what I did. We made our way to the room and I sat down on the chair.

"Right arm, right?" She looked at me as she put on gloves, I just simply nodded "How yo' day going?"

"It's good just tryna keep myself busy, you?" I said being honest before she flashed a smile

"I'm just going with the flow type shit, but it's cool. Where you from talking with a accent?"

"I'm from here, but I lived in Mexico up until fourteen" she gave me a shocking look before I laughed a little

"You lying, for real?" I nodded still laughing a little "I'm being nosy, but why you was in Mexico?"

"My dad is from Mexico, so I was staying with him. Spanish is my first language, that's probably what you hear when I talk. It's not an accent"

At least

"Oh shit, I would've never guessed that. So your mom is ..?" she raised an eyebrow as if she was gonna guess

"African American"

"That's dope as fuck, I like that. " she said coming closer and sitting in the chair to start

She started on my tattoo and we just talked the entire time. She is layed back and chill, I like her personality.

Hours passed by and it seemed like it was quick. She finished up and cleaned everything up. I left out the room going to the front to pay.

I paid and took the receipt before making my way out to my car. Once I got in, I glanced at the receipt before seeing a phone number at the bottom.

She put her phone number on my receipt.

I smiled and shook my head before chuckling a little. Nobody has ever done that, so it came off as cute to me.

I started my car and pulled off going to Chic-fil-A. Once I ordered and got my food I just simply parked in an empty parking spot.

After finishing up my food I left going over to my moms house. Believe or not I haven't saw her in days , so I'm missing her.

"Mommy I need you to make me a doctors appointment" I said to my mom while getting comfortable laying on top of her.

I'm such a mommy's girl it's ridiculous, I rather lay under my mom than go out with my friends. I'm a daddy's girl too and I adore him, but it's something about that motherly love.

"Doctors appointment?" She asked with worrisome in her voice causing me to chuckle

"It's just a regular check up" I confirmed because she'll think something is wrong

"I can make you an appointment for Friday"

"Okay that's fine, but make sure it's between eleven and twelve"

"Alright, and you gotta start doing stuff like that on your own. You know I don't mind, but I want you to be able to do it too" she said and I slightly shrugged because this isn't my first time hearing that

Every time I need to go to the doctor my mom makes the appointment. Yes I'm nineteen and technically grown, but making my own doctors appointment is just something I'm not doing .

"Maybe some day, but not today. Why do I gotta know how to do it?"

"Need to" she corrected me "and if I'm dead and gone ho —" I just cut her off because I don't want to hear that

"Fine I'll learn"

"Good, and why is this piece of hair poking out?" She started trying to fix it before I stopped her

"Parar" I got up off of her and went over to the mirror to see it, "mami tu lo empeoraste"

"You better not be cursing at me, I know that much. You need to wear your natural hair anyway"

"It's too much" I expressed while trying to fix the piece of hair "and I wear my natural hair"

"You wear your natural hair sometimes. Your hair stood at your ass, anybody would kill to have your hair"

"I cut it" she gasped loud causing me to turn around because she scared me "what?

"Really Ja'Nae, again?"

"Only to my lumbar, I needed a trim"

"You cut your hair too much, Ameliah" she said getting serious "Stop playing in it"

"I — okay" I responded letting the conversation go

I stayed for another hour before leaving because it was getting later in the day.

Hopping out of the shower, I put my clothes on and changed my bed sheets. I took them to the laundry room and threw them in the washing machine.

I didn't start it because I'm not in the mood for laundry. I went back and turned on the tv before laying down.

I started dozing off before my phone vibrated causing me to look at it.

shehawaiin started following you.

shehawaiin you must not have seen my number on the receipt

My heart dropped and for some reason I didn't know how to respond. I'm lowkey scared to respond because that might be the wrong choice

How did she find me anyway?

I thought about it before eventually following her back and responding to her message.

just got busy after leaving the tattoo shop, but I saw it. You know how to play the game

nah I would've just boldly asked for your number, but I was on the clock.

Can I get your number though? I just wanna be cool, no bs

I gave her my number and we started texting back and forth. She seems genuine and from what I'm noticing, she has a big heart.
