One Day At A Time

|Chapter 3|

Hazel

After me and Demi's bestie date, as she calls it, we went picked the girls up and I dropped them off at their house before goin home.

"Mama you gotta work today?" Ava asked as she waited for me to unlock the door.

"Yea later on why?"

"I was just askin."

Once the door was unlocked, I pushed it open to let her walk in before I did. I took the keys out the door after I walked in and closed the door behind me.

Sittin my purse on the sofa, I walked to the kitchen and put my keys on the counter and then put my to go plate from earlier in the microwave. I'll eat that later I guess. Or give it to Ava.

"You goin by maw maw or Demi?" I asked.

"I wanna go by maw maw ."

"Alright."

One of my clients hit me up and asked me to do her makeup real quick and I couldn't tell her no. I need my coins.

I walked out the kitchen and to my makeup room, where I got the makeup and spread it out before goin upstairs to my bathroom. The mascara I use for my clients was runnin out so I grabbed mine, along with the wipes, before goin back in there.

That's my only rule. To come with your face clean. Many of my clients don't and many do but I still wipe their face just in case cause no. I am not finna do makeup on a face that ain't clean.

I've use different brands of wipes but I personally like the Ponds wet cleansing luminous cleanse and the Neutrogena makeup remover cleansing wipes so I have more packs of them than anything.

I didn't feel like drivin to the other house, so I drove home. Tiffany has been to this house before and she's a loyal client so she's good. I trust her.

"Mama can you do my makeup?"

"You don't need no makeup on." I turned to her. "And I'm bout to do somebody makeup."

"I gotta make sure you warmed up, on a fresh face." She smiled and pointed to her face.

"No." I smiled back.

"Pleaseee its just for fun. Like when Karter sleeps over here."

When Karter sleeps here of course she wants to play in my makeup since she's gettin older and actually wants to wear makeup now. We all do each other makeup and talk and stuff but I'm surprised Demi got over to Juan to let Karter wear makeup. He's a stubborn one when it comes to decisions like that.

I looked at the time on my Apple Watch and saw that it was 4:02. She should be here within 10 minutes cause she asked around 3:50 somethin.

"Come on."

She smiled and sat in the chair, facin the mirror so she can see how I'm doin every now and then. I grabbed a wipe out the packet thing before I wiped her face with it.

I turned around to get the foundation and the makeup brush I use with that, and once I did I turned back around to see her with her eyes closed.
