Imani woke me up to help him pull his hair out, I don't know who told him I wanted to help him.

After last night all wanted to do was sleep until I felt like waking up.

He said he wanted to wash it and do it over, I didn't him getting his hair done but the person who usually did it wasn't who I expected.

Likkle miss Kira.

No wonder him couldn't delete her number because a she do him hair.

Right now, he was sitting on the balcony, waiting for my response after he told me she's his hairdresser.

His hair was already washed, it grew out a lot since the last time.

He looked so handsome, his hair all in his face.

So me can finally say me man clean?!.

Yeah...

Mi man clean!!!!

Sumn do dah girl deh eno.

"Babes, weh yuh want me fi do caz mi naah go risk you having an attitude just fi go do me hair" Mani reasons, leaning back in the chair and crossing his arms over his naked chest.

I admired how his muscles flexed, for sure I looked thirsty staring at him.

He noticed I wasn't looking at his face, he chuckled unfolding his arms and leaning close to me.

Why him do dat?.

Him mean.

My eyebrows came together as I looked at his face, seeing an amused Imani.

"Mi naah go vex" I answer, shrugging my shoulders.

Yuh lie, when yaah go stop tell eh man lie?.

"A me yaah tell seh yuh naah go vex?"

"Nuh me and you alone deh here?"

"Seet deh, yuh vex from before yuh wash me hair, B, if yuh no want me go then me naah go"

"Yuh tell her yaah go come?"

"No, all me affi do a just text her and she ready"

I raised an eyebrow at him, he went over his choice of words, fear came over his face realizing I took it differently.

He laughs, "never meant it like that Tali, yaah go do it fime then?"

Him know me cyaah canerow fi save me life, kinda question him a ask me.

I took my phone up from the table we sat across each other from, our breakfast still untouched because he was waiting for my response.

I found Tracey's number and called her, on the first ring she picked up.

"Mumz?" she asks cheerfully, "yuh pull out the hair already?".

"No, yuh free today?"

"Kinda, have two personal clients today, why?"

"Chinna need him hair done"

She went silent, contemplating.

"No problem mumz, what time though, clients a come in 12"

I look at my boyfriend, who's staring at me as if he's never had someone dominating him for once.

"You can get somebody pick up Tracey?" I ask him.
