My Love In The Wrong Hands

Chapter 6

Lyric's Nails In The M/M
Lyric POV

It was 10am and I was setting up my little station for my client Joyce. She was getting her face beat for her baby shower today. I wasn't really in the best mood after yesterday's event but I couldn't let that stop my cash flow. So I got my grumpy self up and got cute.

It was early October so I dressed cute but warm. I had on a burnt orange cami with a cream cardigan on top. A black and white high waist max skirt. My nude 4 in. platform heels.

I had my hair bone straight with a gold jewelry headpiece on and some gold stud earrings. Of course my face was on beat mode.

Finally done getting all my things together, I started working on her makeup. She was going for something soft with a pop of color. For the eyes used all neutral colors with hot pink on her waterline as the pop of color.
I did a natural highlight and contour with a bronze finish. For the lips I used cream d'nude lipstick.

"I love it, thank you so much" She looked so happy looking into the handheld mirror.

"You welcome" I started packing my stuff back in my kit and cleaning up.

"I will definitely be using your services again."

"Just let me know and we can set a date"

"Okay. Would you like to stay for the shower?" She asked while handing me the money.

"No thanks, I'm okay."

"You sure? You can come eat and play the games, It'll be a lot of fun"

"Okay sure why not"

It was reaching 4 o'clock and I was trying to enjoy the shower. I could already tell their little girl was going to be spoiled. So many people came out. The theme was bumblebees.

They had the best games and the food was great. My plate was love. There was fried chicken, baked chicken, meatballs, hotdogs, and hamburgers. For sides it was string beans, bake beans, macaroni and cheese, potatoes salad, deviled eggs, pasta salad, seafood salad, fruit salad, vegetable platter, and rolls.

Plus they had a candy table.
They had the good candy too so y'all know my candy bag was heavy. They were now opening gifts.

I decided to leave tho so I could get ready for work tomorrow morning. I went and gave my best wishes to the couple and left.

Getting in my car I broke a nail so I figured I just go get them done before I head home while I still had time. It was about 5:30 when I got to my usually nail spot.

I had to come all the way across town just to get here but I only let one person touch my nails and eyebrows. There was no wait so I was seen immediately. I got a nail repair and a fill in.

My nails are white with one black and white tribal inspired design on my middle finger. I got my eyebrows arched last week so I was good on that. And I do my own lashes and pedicures.

After paying Mya for my services I was leaving out the shop when when some ghetto ass hood rat bumped me.

"Your excused" she said looking me up and down like she knew me but I ain't know that bitch form a can of paint.

"Shawty you gotta eye problem or something?"

"I can look where ever I please boo."

"Yea okay." I laughed "Watch yourself boo cause that mouth just might get you popped." I said in the calmest tone possible then gave her the best smile I could muster up at the moment. I proceeded to go get in my car because the devil's worker was NOT going to ruin my day.

She just stood there looking stupid rolling her eyes like a idiot.

....

Back at home I was getting my clothes out for tomorrow. All done with that task I got my laptop out to do some shopping. I brought some things for my personal and professional makeup kit. I also ordered a couple pairs of shoes, a few clothing items, and some more bundles.

"Hey can I come in" Ry said on the other side of my room door.

"Yeah."

"What you doing sis?" He laid at the foot of my bed.

"Some online shopping. Why wassup" I said because with Rylie there's always a reason.

"Nothing. I just came to bother you. I ain't seen you all day"

"I had a client this morning then I decided to stay for her baby shower, then I hit the nail salon but I've been back since 8. Where you been?"

"With the boys"

"Oh okay" i said dryly. Just the thought of Jr pissed me off.

"Why you say it like that" He smirked. I'm guessing at my facial expression.

"No reason" I didn't really feel like explaining the story.

"Biggs already told me what happened. I heard you smacked the soul out o'l dude" He said laughing

"Why you ask then fool and he had that coming." I started laughing just think about Rell face when I hit his ass. I could tell he wanted to hit me back but knew better in front of my brothers.

"Lili you terrible man. You and your hands. Smh"

"Don't come for me Ry. Y'all don't understand what he put me through. That smack wasn't shit compared to- " I stopped myself before I even allowed those words to come out my mouth. "Nva mind. But I know I have to work on that."

He gave me a questionable look like he was thinking really hard about what I was going to say.

"Why you making that face Rylie."

"Cause I think it's something you not speaking on but imma let it go."

"Good cause there's nothing I need to say."

"Yea alright butI'll check on you later imma go back to my business. I love you little dirty." he leaned up getting off my bed.

"What business nigga but ight love you more little ugly."

"Girl I'm a grown man. I got lots of business and my hoes don't think I'm ugly." He said this goofy ass face then walkes out the room.

After Ry left I cut the light off and laid down thinking about me and Lay conversation on how I should come clean.

My family is going to be so disappointed in me that I didn't tell them when it all took place. I already know my dad is going to be hurt the most because we have such a strong relationship.

I usually tell my daddy everything but I didn't want to see the pain in his eyes when I told him how my boyfriend puts his hands on me.

I also didn't want to be judged and looked at differently because of what I was going through and at the time I thought I had it under control. Mainly because I didn't think I was helpless in the beginning.

I fought back, it wasn't like I just let him beat my ass. I didn't go out like that. You hit me I hit yo ass back. At least that's how it started off.

I'm going to tell them. I'm just not ready to reveal that secret yet. I need some more time.......Just how much time is the question!
