"So are you going to tell me why there's a big tit hottie playing Pattie cake with your five year old?" Leo, one of my artist and best-friend asked me during my break.






I sucked my teeth. "Erica dropped her off earlier saying she couldn't watch her."





"So you put her in the hands of a stranger instead? Do you get my issue here?"





I looked at him with a bored expression. "I didn't have a choice alright? She offered and I couldn't really watch her and do tattoos either."





Leo sat down beside me with a cup of coffee. "Why didn't you ask me? I barely had any clients today."





My face dropped. "The last time I let you watch Harmony, she came home with corn rows too tight for her sensitive scalp and saying the N word."





Leo starts to laugh like shit was funny. "Man, I swear that wasn't my fault. She overheard a conversation she wasn't supposed to hear and repeated it. And as far as the braids, blame my momma."






"Either way, I don't trust you."




"What about Jordan then? I'm sure she would've been a better option than a stranger." He takes a loud slurp of his coffee and I tightened my jaw.




"Jordan is too much. Her attention span is short and I didn't get any red flags from Raya."






Leo smirks behind his cup. "Raya huh?"





I sighed, irritated by his presence. "What?"




"First name basis? Let me guess, she's going to be capture number four?"




"She was a client." I pressed. "I don't do that anymore." I lied.





"Right." He says sarcastically. He tried to take another sip of his coffee but I snatched the cup from his hands and tossed it in the trash. He holds his hands out. "What the hell was that for?"





"You sound like you're sucking dick. It's annoying."





"Fuck you. That's why you have a stick up your ass now." He taunted, shoving me slightly. "You know you want to take this Raya chick for a joy ride."
