My name is Jaya E. DeLay , the "E" is for "Eternity" yeah forreal. I'm 22 Years Old , I'm from Charlotte, Nc . I have my own hair salon called "Radiant Beauty Salon". It's me, my daughter Jayla, and my mother. My sister Serenity lost her life to the streets. I had a boyfriend Michael also known as Tyga, he raps occasionally and sells dope he promised me he'll stop selling the shit but he continues to. He he hits me everyday, i can't let him go he was my high school sweetheart. Today I had to take my daughter Jayla to another one of her pageants without Michael being there. Which means I had to leave my mom in charge of the shop, she be letting her friends get their hair done for free and this ain't no damn benefit.
"Ma, I don't want none of your friends in here getting their hair done for free, like I said before this isn't a benefit, I got bills to pay" I said placing the receipts on the cream colored marble counter.
"Ok ok Jay" she said
"Amera make sure momma friends don't walk out of here without a receipt and or a hole punched in their card" i told my best friend Amera
"Aight I gotchu" Amera said
"Trust me sometimes Jaya Eternity" she shook her head reaching for a cigarette.
"Take that outside of my shop matter fact, take that down the street" I warned my mom. She knew better not to smoke in my shop.
"Here you go" she laughed.
"Amera" I pointed at her
I went to the back to grab my things and Jaylas dress for tonight and I walked outside.
"You need any help?" some guy asked , he was brown skinned and had a beautiful smile. I had enough of those.
"Sure uhm thanks" I waited for him to give me his name.
"Kendrick" he said "What's your name?"
"Jaya , call me Jay" I said as we approached my sliver Mercedes Benz.
"Have any one told you how beautiful you are?" he smiled. I knew where he was going with this , plus he was cute, but he didn't look better than Michael's sexy yella ass.
"Kendrick right? You're cute we should go out sometimes"
"Sure. what's your number?" he asked. I handed him a card with my name and number of course it was a business card. Besides I didn't mind to do some business with that Chocolate Drop 😘
I handed him my Galaxy S3 so he could put his number in, then got in the car and started it up.
"This is your shop ?" he asked
"Yeah, you should bring your moms , it's 75% off Tuesdays " I replied
"I will" he smiled
That damn smile .
At Jayla's Pageant
"Okay Jayla remember what we practiced " I said zipping up her dress.
"Next is Jayla DeLay" the announcer said
"You're gonna do great" I hugged her and she went on stage to do her routine . I sat in the audience and watched Jayla do the routine we did.
"Everybody give it up for Ms.DeLay"
I clapped and went backstage with her.
"Jay you did good mami " I exclaimed
I pulled out Her Adidas sweatsuit and her blue sparkly Uggs. she changed and it was time to announce the winners.
"In third place Madelyn Carsonaro , in second place Kameron Ammonds, and in first place this was a hard decision between Jayla Delay and Zaire Herriot , our first place winner is MS. JAYLA UNYQUE DELAY"
Everyone clapped and shouted for Jayla. We went up to claim her prize which was a crown, a check for $100,000 & a trophy . After Jayla gotten all the attention she deserved it was time to go home. I prayed to GOD that Michael wasn't there. When I opened the door "Dr Phil" by Lil B was playing loud af. Yep Michael was here laying on the couch.
"Jay go to your room, I'll order you some pizza okay mami" I said giving her my phone so she could play games. I grabbed the remote and turned off the music.
"Jaya ima beat your ass" Michaels voice muffled in the pillow he was laying in probably slobbering in it too.
"Michael you need to get the hell out my house" I said
He sat up and walked over to me and said "Or what "
"That's right you ain't gone do shit bitch"
He was right I wasn't.
"Michael what happened to us , we used to be in love , We loved each other & you always came to Jaylas pageants" I sighed
"Jay , I told your ass I be busy" he spat
"You need to give me some pussy instead of these damn migraines"
"You're not even my boyfriend" I got up in his. He pushed me up against the wall by my neck which caused the t.v to move and delivered 3 punches to my face. I fell to the floor weak ashell. Then he kicked me in my lower abdomen. He went upstairs and slammed the door. I cleaned up my face and ordered me and Jayla some pizza. When the pizza came I pushed Jaylas dresser in front of her door. We watched Cheetah Girls and Cake Boss until we fell to sleep.
I gotta let Michael go and that's on a 💯👌
