My Escort.. (URBAN)

Chapter 6: Banquet

Veronica Brown..

Today was the day!

Nerves ran down my body as I thought about myself presenting my speech to the audience.

Today was a really big night for not just moi, but for Essence. Its my job to represent Essence by my speech so Its an either 'make or break' tonight.

I pulled my keys out of my ignition as I opened my door and hopped out the car.

I jingled my keys as I made my way over to Faiths boutique.

She had told me to come by the day of the banquet so she could help prep myself with hair and make up, which I didn't mind. I trusted her.

"Hey baby!!" Faith greeted me as I walked inside the boutique, making a bell ring from the front door.

"Hello" I said with a warm smile.

"You ready?" She asked as she went back to the counter.

I nodded my head up and down. " Yes ma'am!" Putting my thumb up.

"Hold up Girlie!" Faith said as she searched for something. "SHAKWANA! WHERE MY PHONE AT? WHAT I TELL YOU BOUT TOUCHING MY SHIT WITHOUT ASKING! GET OFF THE PHONE!" Faith yelled as she disappeared to the back room. "GO WORK! WHAT YOU TAKE THIS SHIT FOR? WANT MY ASS TO GET ROBBED! " She came out the back room, with a mean mug as she scrolled up on her phone. "SHAKWANA WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT YOU DOWNLOADING ON MY PHONE? RED NOSE? FUCK IS THIS ? SOUNDING LIKE RUDOLPH WITH THIS SHIT!"

Faith smacked her lips as she put her phone in her bag.

"Lets go gurl!" Faith said shaking her head.

Veronica nodded as she opened the door for them and made their way over to Veronicas BMW.

"Right there girl, make a left!" Faith instructed Veronica.

Veronica obeyed as she made a left into the salon's parking lot.

They walked into Niqes Niqes Salon (From How to love) while Faith took the lead.

They walked into hear laughing and a big girl looking like she was choking.

"BERNICE! Stop girl!" One of the hairstylists said to the choking girl.

She dismissed the girl and walked over to me.

"Hey Faith!" The young hairstylist said smiling at Faith.

Faith returned the smile. " Kennedy ! Wassup girl? This is the beautiful lady I was talking to you on the phone?"

"Oh oh" Kennedy said smiling. "Come on ladies" She said as she began walking to a station. She patted my seat and I hesitantly sat down as she put her apron ( i know thats the wrong name lol) .

"So what do you want ? " Kennedy asked as she took my hair out of the bun I had made earlier and started feeling my hair mac scalp.

"Um just a wash and straightened would be good"

"UM HELL NAW" Faith barged in.

"What?" I asked as I spun my chair towards Faith.
