Because I had so much left to get done with these prom dresses, I was allowed to skip work until I was done with them. So directly after school, I just came straight home, did my homework and then got right to work.
Everybody else was gone so it was just me in the house which was good, meaning no distractions. I had my SZA Playlist going as I worked. Because I was doing so much sewing by hand today, I had to stop and stretch my hand muscles to keep them from cramping up which was annoying because I hated taking breaks when I was in my zone.
"Pretty little bird, pretty little bird... you've hit the window a few times" I sung along to Pretty Little Bird by SZA
I received a Instagram DM notification from what seemed like a spam page but I knew it was Domonique. The boy was hours away and still wouldn't leave me alone. I've changed my number, blocked him on everything and now he's just spamming me at this point. But I wasn't falling for it.
I deleted the notification off of my screen then got back to work.
Downstairs, the sound of the door closing caught my attention so I knew one of them came home early.
"Kin?" I could hear my momma call my name
"Im up here" I responded back
Not too long after, she made her way into my room.
"Ouuu, that pretty. Who's dress you working on?"
"Brielle"
"It didn't take you as long as I thought to do hers"
"Cause hers really not too detailed. Based off of what I interpreted from what she drew."
"From what you interpreted?"
I nodded my head in the direction of the picture that was pinned on my board on the wall. My momma went over to it and looked
"Oh. She did this. I thought one of the kids that come in the restaurant drew this for you"
I laughed
"No, that's all her"
"My poor niece. Bless her heart...So did you decide how you wanna do your hair for prom so I can go ahead and let your aunt know?"
"Not really. I've been so busy finishing these, I didn't have time to think about that"
"Well as much as I love that you taking the time to make sure everybody getting their dream dress, I wanna make sure you enjoy your prom experience"
I shook my head while keeping focus on the dress
"I'm honestly not really too excited about prom anymore. And honestly it's just another school dance"
"Why not?"
"Cause... I don't know."
"What lil boy broke your heart? I need to tell your daddy?"
"No momma" I laughed "Please don't do that"
"So a little boy did break your heart?"
"No"
"Your date cancelled?"
"I don't have a date. Im fine with going alone. I can't stand these niggas anyways. And what made you come home early?"
"Cause... I need to talk to you"
"About what? Did I do something?"
"I don't know.. did you?"
