What's Behind The Scenes [FAYEYOKO FANFICTION]

Chapter 14

Faye Malisorn's POV

Over the next few days, everything goes back to normal. We continue working together, laughing and joking like we used to.

We share more smiles, more touches, and more stolen glances that hold a deeper meaning now.

Everything feels lighter, easier than before. It's clear that the weight of holding back our feelings has lifted now that we're no longer hiding our relationship. Though not completely public yet, we don't need to keep our love secret anymore.

We're still careful, of course. We don't flaunt our relationship publicly; that's still too risky.

But when we're alone, behind closed doors or in private moments, we're fully immersed in each other. We're free to show our affection without fear of the consequences.

After a busy day of appointments at Amor Boutique Salon, I finally have a moment to catch my breath.

Most of my clients for the day have come and gone, leaving me with a few precious moments of peace.

I'm sitting in a small, comfortable room that serves as my work station and a break area.

The room is adorned with various hair styling tools and products, and I can still smell the fragrances of different shampoos and conditioners in the air.

"Boo!"

I jump, nearly dropping my inhaler in surprise. When I turn around, I see Pam grinning at me, clearly enjoying scaring me.

"Paaaaam!" I exclaim, trying to catch my breath.

Pam laughs, completely unrepentant. "I couldn't resist. You should've seen your face."

Her laughter is interrupted by Tanya's voice from across the room. "Pam, stop tormenting Faye and come here and help me clean these brushes."

Pam rolls her eyes but grins, clearly not too put out.

"I'm coming!" she calls back, then turns to me. "Duty calls," she says with a wink.

I shake my head, a little amused at her antics. "Go away, you menace," I reply, jokingly shooing her off.

Pam gives me a mock salute before hurrying off to help Tanya.

My heart gives a little hitch as I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket. Frowning, I pull it out and see a notification with a message from Yoko.

"Are you at the salon?" the message reads.

I can't help the little flutter of excitement that sparks in my chest.

I smile to myself as I quickly type a response. "Yeah, I am. Why?"

I pause for a moment, waiting for her reply. My fingers drum impatiently on the countertop as I wait, my heart beating just a tad faster.

A few seconds later, my phone vibrates again. I quickly unlocking the screen to see her response.

"Can I come by?"

My heart gives another little flutter. She wants to come here?

I glance around the salon, taking in the sight of Tanya and Pam cleaning hairbrushes and organizing supplies.

It's a bit slow right now. I quickly type a response. "Sure. I'm not doing anything."
