Najeem POV>>>>
Because i have no normal life i threw myself back into work. Wigs and working the salon. I make an appearance at each shop. 2-3 days in a row. I'm there from opening to closing. I have to care for myself. I've been creeping with IBN behind everybody's back. Bean is on to me but idc. His 2 daughter sister and sequoia go to school with my nieces. We all go shopping and lil special outings.
IBN didn't really care much about what people thought of him because his loyalty and rep spoke for itself. So when it came out to the public that he liked guys. Shit got different. He lost a few barbers and some clientele. But his real day 1 niggas held him down.
IBN would bring me edible arrangements, flowers, lunch and gifts to my shop. Crazy thing is i didn't even tell him which one i was working at.
This one particular day, i was working at my shop in west. I was doing a full sew in with a bang. My client was all braided down, I was sewing the hair. I felt these hands grip my waist.
For a split second my heart told me that it was rasul. I turned around and opened my eyes, it was IBN. He had a box of chocolate candies, some balloons and a box with a ribbon .
Me : Thank you boo
I said hugging him. He grabbed my but and rubbed my back.
IBN: You didn't even open it up yet
I proceeded to open the box. It was really lite.
It was 2 tickets to miami.
I stopped and stared'
Me: Oh , wow. Ibn . thank you
Ibn: You don't look so happy
Me: Well it's just that ... Miami brings back some bad memories
IBN:Memories with that nigga Rasul ?
Me: No just bad memories period. I closed the box and handed it to him. Without hesitation he passed them to the girl in my chair. She was overjoyed .
IBN: Can i talk to you in private ?
I gave him the puppy dog eyes. I excused myself and followed him outside in the sun. I leaned up against his truck.
Me: What ?
IBN: You look beautiful today.
Me: Thank you. Now wassup ?
IBN: I don't like your funky ass attitude
Me: I Don't know what you mean
IBN: Yea, sure. Look im gonna pick you around 8-830 to take you home okay? Try to have a smile on your face when i get back.
He said kissing my forehead and walking around to the driver side.
I proceeded back to my shop. I worked my ass off all day. I curled, cut, sew, glued, all day . When 8:45 rolled around. My chariot awaits me.
I cleaned up the shop, locked up and closed everything down for the night. As i locked up the front door. IBN got out and walked up to me.He grabbed my backpack and fanny, put the two in the back seat and held the door for me until i got in.
IBN: Buckle up
I Did so. I plugged my phone up and put on my song.
IBN: I told you about changing my shit ! put the lox back on !
I rolled my eyed, grabbed for his beard and kissed his big lips.
IBN: MMM, this is more like it shawty. I missed you
