I watched as the lady worked on Junior last twist. He finally starting his locs after three years of me begging Angel.
Her ass kept saying no, no, no. She think cause she manage these kids hair, I have no say so.
That's my son.
All he was getting was braids — not saying it wasn't cute. The braids was hard as fuck, but I want his hair loc'd.
He wore twists too, but we never let them turn into locs. This time we ain't taking them out, and I'm ready to see this progress.
Luckily, he ain't gone have to go through that short hair, ugly phase. His hair already long, but that shrinkage ain't no joke.
I got snapped out of my trance by the doorbell ringing before walking away. The doorbell rung another two times back to back which caused me to suck my teeth.
"I'm coming, damn" I yelled out while making my way in the direction of the grand foyer
It rung again before I sped up, damn near running. Once I got to the door, I almost took it off it's hinges.
"We here, baby. Ready to be treated" my momma said before I mugged her
"Why is y'all ringing my doorbell like that?"
"Cause we here and ready to be treated for lunch and a spree" Ameen said while brushing past me and coming in
"Y'all make my ass itch in places that can't be scratched" I spat out before my momma flicked my lip
"Watch your mouth" she pointed at me before I held my lip, "Flau'jae you are so disrespectful"
I made a face before shutting the door.
"How?"
"Repeat what you just said"
"Y'all make my ass itc —" she cut me off by flicking my lip again and giving me a dumbfounded look
"And you gone repeat it, you just don't care"
I laughed a little as Ameen shook his head. Did I really just fall for her trick like that?
"No, she slow. You should've known that was a trap" Ameen said before laughing and pushing me a little
"Where my babies at?" my momma asked while going in the direction of the living room
"Junior in the living room getting his hair done. He finna get a quick line up after. Jouri and Naeluh upstairs getting dressed with Angel"
"Oh shit, my boy finna steal all the ladies" Ameen said before I looked at him
"Calm down" I spat out
We made it to the living room before they spoke to Junior and the lady. She cut hair and manage locs, so she just gone be his stylist.
Her work is good so I gotta tip her big.
I made my way upstairs just to see what Angel and the girls had going on. We taking our parents out and catering to them today.
They finna run our pockets, so I mentally prepared for that. By the way they rung that doorbell, I know I'm going broke today.
Them niggas ready as fuck.
"Look at you, mama" I said excitedly while looking at Jouri's whole look, "You look like a big girl, you so pretty"
"Tell her you been knew that" Angel said before I laughed a little
