Two.

Above is Kalina at home in the chapter.

K A L I N A

I decided not to reply back to Justin's text just yet, I didn't want to seem desperate or anything. Plus, I needed to take a shower and change into my own clothes. I have a few clients later on this evening for some event that is going on tonight. Being a hairstylist is definitely a full time job. I rarely ever have off days, because these queens in California love to keep their hair done. Until then, I plan on kicking back and relaxing before I have to be on my feet for hours.

I texted Kalina in hopes that maybe we could hang out this afternoon or something, but she hasn't answered and it's been hours. I can't decide whether or not I should text her again, I could seem desperate. But honestly, I don't really care. Kalina seems like such a sweet, down to earth girl - and that's while she's drunk. I can only imagine how much fun she is when she's sober.

Fuck it, I thought grabbing my phone.

To: Kalina -

Hey, I don't mean to bother you but you never texted me back. I was just wondering if you wanted to hang out today or something? :)

From: Kalina -

Sorry, I was taking a shower and "handling some business" as you said. But I just planned on chilling until later, I have to work. Sorry :/

To: Kalina -

Haha, you're funny. But that's cool, no pressure. What do you do?

From: Kalina -

I'm a hairstylist. Not to toot my own horn, but I'm surprised you haven't heard of me. I'm one of the biggest here in Cali... ;)

To: Kalina -

Wait.. Don't tell me you're the Kalina that owns K&K Hair?

From: Kalina -

Yuuuuppp, that would be me! Lol

As I'm sitting here waiting on Justin's reply, watching Scandal - my favorite television show - my phone begins to buzz. I look down and I see Justin calling me.

"Uhh, hello?" I answer with confusion in my voice.

"So you mean to tell me that you are THE Kalina?" he says with emphasis in his voice. "Why didn't you say something? I've been trying to get you on my team for the longest." He says quickly, without even an introduction first.

"Well damn, hello to you too Justin. But yeah, that's me. And I don't really go for the 'joining the team' type of deal. I have my salon and I do my work there. It keeps me open to everybody."

"Well if you're Kalina, who is the other K in K&K?" he asked.

"I'm Kalina, and my best friend Kanyla Moore is the other K. Remember Nyla from the club?" I ask smiling. Nobody has ever really taken the time to ask me that, unless they were our clients.

"Oh, I get it. K&K, Kalina and Kanyla. Does she do hair there too? And what's up with the matching names? Fate? Haha" he laughed loudly through the phone.

"Yeah she does hair there with me, we've been doing hair together our whole lives. And no, not fate. Our mothers grew up together as best friends and named us to match. Kanyla is a year older than me though." I say, rolling my eyes at the thought of my crazy best friend.
