"I don't know I'm just scared to do certain things." Aiya says on the other end of the FaceTime call.
She just got back from the hospital after getting her cast REMOVED. I'm gonna miss her cast, she looked so cute with it somehow. She can make anything cute somehow.
"It's healed now Aiya, why're you scared?" I chuckle and rest my arm across my forehead as I watch her cautiously get ready for work. She didn't want to call off so she just requested a different shift.
"Because like—there's a little click in my pinky whenever I move it certain ways I'm scared." She pouts and holds her pinky up. Cutie.
"Well you gotta talk to the doctor about that. Don't want it snapping aga—"
"Roooomeee!" She whines, grimacing as she holds her pinky, I laugh a little.
"You just made it hurt oh my gosh..." She trails off, looking around for something.
"Oh my gosh, I meant to tell you." She says to regain my attention but she never lost it.
"Yes amor?" I say lowly.
"I have four clients tomorrow! I'm pretty sure they all go to the same school because I think Euclid's prom is tomorrow." She explains and her excitement makes me smile.
"That's good. I'm happy for you mami. You doing what you love and getting money for it. I'm proud of you." I PRAISE her and she blushes.
"Thank you my love. I actually was thinking about making a page so I can finally start a BUSINESS." She says while laying her edges in the mirror.
"And I'm ten toes behind you ma. Whatever you need, whatever you want—I'll put money into yo shit." I offer and she shakes her head quickly.
"You have prom. Then the Golden Gloves, I don't—take care of you first, okay? I'm good for now." She declines and I nod my head.
"I'ma still put in." I shrug and she presses her lips together.
"Actually um—you remember when I told you if you needed anything for prom I'd help you?" She starts and I nod slowly.
"Well I came up with two—"
"No Aiya. I don't want—"
"Rome please. It's only two hundred. You can use it for your haircut or something." She suggests and I shake my head.
"Aiya my haircut isn't as expensive as your hair." I chuckle and she rolls her eyes.
"Okay so it'll cover that and then some. Just take it Rome, please?" She pokes her lip out and I sigh, nodding my head.
