I won't be disrespectful and question that lady or her son.
An despise keeping it to myself, he looked like he doesn't believe me when I told him that I'm okay.
Bestie got her wish, she was blessed with an healthy baby boy and they named him Ehuan Amani Walter.
We got the same middle name and it's all because I made Emryn happy throughout her entire pregnancy.
Throughout her contraction that started the next morning, I'm at work and had the phone to my ears. Telling her jokes and drama that kept her happy and a little distracted.
While she's out of the salon, her brother has been stopping by but there's just one problem. He has always been a bother to me.
He's worst than Reggie.
Tyrell never stops talking and for a grown man, I wonder if his girlfriend isn't tired of him.
"You're like a snake under grass."
"Seems like you swallowed a whole radio." I insulted over my client's head.
"You need a man to go home to every night." He grins.
"My man will come home to me instead. You don't know me, Radio." I rolled my eyes.
"I've been here for like, over a month. All you do is giggle over the phone and say you missed somebody." He revealed and my eyes widened when the other stylist hums in agreement.
I know we talk about everything and is close, but I don't feel my business shouldn't be out there. Even what I know they care.
Care enough to get me off the streets.
"Y'all just inquisitive." I laughed.
"No, we just worried boo." Vicki the gayest of gays spoke up. "We were close before you went on ya lil' vacation. Now you silent foreal."
He's over there installing a wig on a drag queen for their little show tonight.
All I know about that was watching short clips of the RuPaul drag race.
"What's going on, Rae?" Tammy asked.
"Is it Blake?"
I looked over at Steff who looks at me.
"Naw, both y'all keeping secrets." Vicki pointed out. "I saw that."
"Blake left me alone at the airport in Colorado to travel in all the snow up to the mountains." I revealed, reaching for more hair.
The salon was filled with shock that even my regular whose hair I'm doing turned to me.
"Mah cousin went out there with her man to ride the slopes, they barely could with all that storm. But alone!" A waiting client spoke from the sitting area.
"Y'all, my baby is from the white sand beaches, Dancehall ass shaking, reggae jammies, bamboo rafting, jerk chicken place in the Caribbean. She ain't never witness snowing until then. I'm mad." Tiffany's example made me smile.
"What happened, lil' boo?" Vicki paused his job to fold his arms.
"Our driver took me up there and like two hours in with me shivering like crazy, the power went out."
Again chaos.
"Y'all, let her talk." Steff laughs.
Vicki and the rest gave her the stink eye because she knows. Or they think she does.
"My phone battery was under thirty, I had to learn how to start a fire but I did. Your girl had some experience from when I was back home roasting breadfruit. I was searching around for the generator and it came on like a few minutes after the power went out. I lost phone signal and I was cold down to my cunt."
