Nevaeh

We've been in the parking lot for about ten mintues now and the kids still haven't noticed.

They're too busy talking about their day at school to even notice. I just sat back in my seat and started taking pictures of them and of myself.

"Nevaeh why didn't you tell us we were here. You could be so slow sometimes"

Myra said as she opened her door and got out. She made it seem like I'm the one holding them up when she's the one that couldn't stop talking.

Once we walked into the salon childhood memories of my mom ripping my hair out of my scalp came to mind.

I remember my mom would always pop me in the hands whenever I touched my hair to see how much braids I have left.

I also remember when I used to cry myself to sleep everytime she gave me an ugly hairstyle.

Good times, good times.

"I'm here for my three o'clock appointment and my sister's three o'clock appointment"

"Yes ma'am"

"Can I also squeezed two people. It's very important"

"Don't worry about it. It's on the house"

That's the perks of my auntie owning a beauty salon. Everytime I bring four or more people I only pay for two of them or sometimes it's completely free.

Once the girls at my old school found out that they could get their hair done for free they tried to kiss my ass and be friends with me.

You know what I did? I brought them to the salon and let them all get their hair done. Once all of their hair was done my auntie doubled the price.

That's what they deserved. The same group of girls were the ones that dropped milk in my newly installed sew in days before.

I placed the kids in the empty chairs that surrounded me and waited for Shirley, my auntie.

Mintues later a light skinned plus sized woman with butt length box braids came from the back room. Her hoop earring were swaying back and forth as she walked with her head held high.

That ladies and gentlemen is my favorite auntie Shirley. Not only does she make a mean plate of fried chicken but she also makes the best collard greens.

"How's my favorite niece doing" she said as she pulled me in for a hug.

"I'm your only niece auntie Shirley"

She shushed me and stared to take my hair down from the ponytail it was in. As she did that three hairdressers came up to the kids and asked them what hairstyles they wanted.

Since I was talking to Shirley I didn't really pay attention to what hairstyle they wanted. Hopefully they like it after they get it and not be like me when I was nine.

While I was doing my hair she told me the do's and don'ts of first dates.

The number one don't is telling my dad where Silas is talking me.

She told me how she told my dad that her date was taking her to a restaurant then out for drinks. My dad was their waiter and also their bartender.

When it was time for them to go my dad followed them to make sure she went straight home and not at his house.

This all happened last week.

3 hours later

My hair and the kids hair are finally done. I haven't seen their hair yet since they blindfolded me once it was done. I didn't under the point of that but I went along with it. I have to remember they're nine.
