In the sixties, Tulsa was named the most God fearing city in Oklahoma. The bible carrying residents respect their conservative ways of life and respectful family values.
But, underneath the traditional society is two pariahs who see the city differe...
Once school was done, Kenya and Tracey had invited North, back at their place, to listen to some records. But North have to work. So the Brown sisters, said their goodbye and left.
It didn't take North so long, to walk downtown- just fourteen minutes. She hoped her mom, was already at the hair salon, today was suppose to be busy. And Briana, a hair stylist- was not coming in. Her three year old son, have a fever.
God, I hope mom brought her ass to work!.....
North walked down the small narrow sidewalk, not wanting to look at anyone- specially, if they was white. Since it was a soc area, North is a extra easy target. So she want to be seen, not heard.
North walked into a building, that read, Hair up & nails out Salon. She'd saw a lot of older ladies at the recipients desk.
- This is ridiculous! I have sat here for almost a hour!
- Well, I've been here for two. I made this appointment a week ago.
- I never had service like this, at the salon down the road.
- Where is Kathy Diane?
Well, That's the million dollar question.
I have to fix this. And fast.
" Ladies, I sincerely apologize for the wait, please do believe me, I do sympathize with you all, and I know y'all are busy. My mother is still a bit under the weather today, she could barely curl her own hair. Tsk, the poor thing." North lied, as she walked up the recipients desk. She turnt around to look at the angry mob. "But North is here and she will make you look fabulous."
A few of the angry customers, kinda calm down.
" I like it, when Kathy do my hair." The lady mumble. " She know, I'm tender headed."
Yes, Mrs. Daniel, I know.....
North naturally turn her lips, into a dazzling smile, as she'd stepped over to Mrs. Daniels.
" Mrs. Daniel, you'll be asleep in my chair, when I'm curling your hair." North promise. " I promise, after I work my epic black girl magic on y'all, your husband will go for seconds. I am that good." North wink.
The ladies started to giggle.
" Now, no more chit chat, lets get gorgeous." North said.
Damn, I woulda make a great politician
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Well at least, everyone left the salon happy.
And I got alot of tips too.
About twenty five bucks.
North was glad everyone was in a good mood, after they've left. One day, Hair up & Nails out will belong to North, and she'll be damn, to let this hair salon have a bad rep, because her mom don't have control.
While North was sweeping up the shop, she heard the echo of the door bell. North looked up to see her favorite person.
Angela Shepard....
North put on a fake smile, as she greeted her.
" Yea, where Brianna? She is doin my nails." Angela stated.
" She is?" North question.
Angela narrow her eyes at the girl, groaning.
" Yes she does, and I ain't goin to wait!" Angela snarl.
" She had a family emergen-" North said.
" Don't really care, cuz it ain't my problem!" Angela yell.
God Brianna is so lucky...
" Um, since you're pressed for time, I can paint your nails. It is no problem." North said.
Angela thought about it..
" O my fuckin God, this sucks so hard. Fine whatever. I'll let you do my nails. But if I don't like them, you are redoing it." -----------
North has done alot of nails, it was like second nature to her. but she has never had a client like Angela before. First, she'd took six minutes to pick out a color. Then Angela, didn't like the shade of red, she'd picked out herself. North started her nails, Angela kept overseering everything. She refused to be still, and kept snatching back her hand. It was frustrating.
" What the hell? It don't take a hour to paint your nails!"
North saw, Tim storm into the salon. He look upset.
" I totally agree wit you, but a certain worker, have no clue, what she's doin." Angela said.
This girl right here!
How can anyone, put up with her condescending attitude.
North kept doin Angela nails.
" I'm goin as fast as I can. But, you keep, snatchin your hand back. It makes-"
" I'm the customer and you's the worker- hunny, its ya job no, it's your duty to make me happy." Angela snarl.
---------
North was so damn happy, to see the low budget diva walk out her chair. Even after, she picked the nail color and look over North work, she was not happy with it. Angela wanted her to start all over, until Tim, whom sat at the waiting area, yelled at Angela, telling her to shut up. They was at the desk.
Angela was so mad, she didn't even thank North once. But it didn't phase Tim. He is Angela brother after all, so he has use to her attitude.
" Annoyin broad." Tim spoke, as he look at North. " So how much do I owe ya." Tim ask.
" Ten dollars."
" For nails painting? What the hell?" Tim growl.
North giggled, standing up.
" Well love, no one never said, being a girl was cheap." North chuckled.
Tim grim smirk, made North stomach do backflips. He just have this aura, that makes a girl stare at him hard. North mentally calm herself down. She didn't want to look like a dork again.
This time.
" I dig princess." Tim replied, as he handed North the crisp ten dollar bill. She thank him.
North held her breath, so Tim couldn't see her swoon like a virgin schoolgirl. But his blue eyes wouldn't ease off her.
Ugh, why do I feel, like Tim is always studying me?....
North felt that same nervous uneasy feeling again. She had looked down.
" Um, is there anything else, I can help you with?"
" Nah, I got my answer." Tim replied, smirking again. Then, he started to walk toward the front door. Tim glanced back at North.
" See you later princess." Tim said. " Oh yea, fore I forget, I did change my mind, you are a cute girl." He flirted.
