Beauty and the beast

       "Can you answer that and put it on speaker for me please?" I asked my client as my phone vibrated on the small table next to us. She picked it up and pressed the green answer button. "Hello?" "Wassup Phat, what you doing?" Glock's voice came through the speakers. "I'm doing hair right now." "Damn." He sucked his teeth. "What happened?" "I was gone see if you wanted to get something to eat but you busy."

        "No I can still go, I'm almost done." "Ight I'm at my grandma house, I'm bout to leave in a lil bit." "Okay, I'll see you later." "Later." And he hung up. "Thank you so much." I said to the girl holding the phone. "No problem girl." And she put the phone down. Once I finished her last braid I went in the kitchen to put water in my kettle. As I was walking past the living room, it was a knock at the door.

I walked to the door and peered through the peephole. It was a dude coming to pick up an order. I stepped back and opened the door. "Wassup Reggie." "What it do MK." "Let me go put this water on for my client and imma go get the clothes for your sons. Just sit down and give me one second." "Fasho." He nodded and sat on the couch. I walked back in the hair room and sat the kettle on its heater.

I moussed her hair then spritzed it as the water heater up. "Alright once the water heats up imma dip it and you free to go." "No problem." She nodded. I walked to my room and grabbed the two black garbage bags out my closet. I drug the bags all the way to the living room. "Ight you can go through the bags and tell me if you like the stuff or not. You can dump em either on the floor or couch it don't really matter." He nodded and grabbed the first bag.

I walked back in the hair room and the water was ready. I grabbed a towel from the closet and started dipping her hair. Once I was done sipping her hair I did her edges and wrapped them up. "Okay go sit under the dryer, I just want your hair to dry a little." The girl got up and sat under the dryer. I turned the temperature to medium heat. "I'll be right back." I walked to the living room and Reggie was now going through the second bag. "What you think so far?"

"This shit tough. I appreciate you." He took a wad of money out his pocket and counted out a couple hundreds. "Gave ya a lil new year's bonus, you gave me way more than six hundred dollars worth of shit." "I appreciate you." I smiled. I walked back in the hair room and felt the ends. "Okay you good to go. I turned off the dryer and lifted the top. The girl stood up and I took the wrap off her edges.

I snapped a few pictures in front of my flower wall and then walked her to the living room. "How much I owe you?" "$300." She opened her purse and pulled out some bills. She counted out three hundred dollar bills and fifty. "Thank you so much girl, I love my hair." "Anytime! I'm happy you like em." I smiled as I opened the door for her and Reggie. Glock was standing there, look like he was about to knock.

He moved to the side to let both of them walk out. "Now that's what you call two satisfied costumers in one day." I smiled as he walked through the door. "I see you hustla. Go change so we can eat, I'm starving." Glock rubbed his stomach. "Yeah yeah hold on." I walked in my room I went through my dresser and quickly started pulling out stuff. I pulled out some ripped up acid wash jeans, white tank top crop top, my Chloé sandals and purse Mimi and Jade got me for Christmas.

        I quickly threw on some gold jewelry, perfume and lip gloss. I made sure I had everything then walked out my room. "You see? Didn't even take long." I said as I walked in the living room. "Tuh my stomach in my back as we speak. You might have to help me walk to the car." He said dramatically. "Mmcht. Boy get up!" I playfully rolled my eyes. He laughed and stood from the couch.

        "Where we bout to eat at?" I asked as I locked the front door. "Don't worry bout it." Glock grabbed my hand and led me down the stairs. "So I don't get to pick?" I frowned. "Nope." "I only like when stuff go my way." "Oh well, it ain't going dat way today." He shrugged. I stopped walking. Glock noticed and turned around. "Lord this girl pouting." He shook his head. "Come on Kyha." I stood there looking at him.
