Cuando Volveras

Chapter 10

After having the encounter with Anthony, I walk back to the salon and wait for my client to come in.

2:30 had already came around and no one has entered for their appointment. Impatiently, I continue to help around the salon until I hear the door open and the girls squeal like crazy.

"Oh my god! He's here!"

"He's so much more cuter in person!"

"Ay Dios mío, he's so much taller than I thought."

As soon as I see him, I couldn't help but groan. He waves to everyone and sits down on my chair, staring at me.

"Anthony, please get out. I have a client coming in soon." I demand, crossing my arms.

He chuckles and opens his arms out.

"I am your client."

Lord, why must you test me today? Seeing him once already wasn't good enough or something?

Now it made sense why everyone was staring at me this morning. Taking in a deep breath, I pinch the bridge of my nose.

Grabbing my supplies, I draped Anthony with a cape. He starts explaining how much he wanted off and I simply nod, avoiding any moment I could start conflict with him.

He must've felt the tension because during the cut, no words were spoken between us. But I did feel him staring at me through the mirror.

As I finish, he inspects his hair and he grins.

"This looks fresh, mami. You're better than most of the male barbers out there, " Anthony says.

Something flutters in my stomach as he pulls out the money.

He pays and starts to walk out the door until he stops suddenly. Anthony turns around and proceeds back towards me.

"I'm going to take you out tomorrow night. I'll text you the time and you send me your address so I can pick you up." Anthony stare into my eyes as I roll mine.

"Tony, you are not gonna take me out on a date. We can talk simply at my house or your house." I said, putting my hands on my hips.

His eyes fall at my hips then trail their way back to my face.

"Muñeca, I'm taking you out and that's that. I'll see you tomorrow." He said then leaves the shop.

Anthony leaves me in the same position, watching him leave and turn the corner. Jennifer comes up to me with her eyes wide and her head shaking at me in awe.

"I cannot believe you tried to deny a date with Romeo fucking Santos. You know how many girls that would die to be in your position?!"

You know how many girls that have been in my position already?

"I don't want to go on a date with that ass. We are only just trying to talk shit out." I explain. Jennifer understood the whole situation with Anthony and I but she still fangirls over the fact that he's the famous Romeo Santos. Which I honestly don't understand but I let her be.

"Well, maybe he wants to start things off on the right note." I shake my head.

"I honestly don't wanna even think about dating. I'm still not over the whole situation with Damian."

It didn't affect me as much as it should have but it still makes me upset whenever I think about it. I've done nothing to harm him and he went out and cheated on me. He had to go.

"Why are you worrying about that jackass when you have a real man after you?" Jennifer shrugs her shoulders and walks away.
