Strip Love

Part 13

"Yes my mommy is asleep, yeah you should come by soon."

I woke up to Ariel speaking on my phone with someone. This little girl thinks she's a women. I wonder what time it is, I probably over slept this morning. The sun rays are already coming through my window curtains, making the room extra bright. I swiftly used my hands to pass over my eyes trying to get out of the sleeping mood and then I let out a little yawn. No I lie a very big loud yawn...

"Oh she up now!! Here you go mommy" this little girl is something else.

She quickly hand over the phone before I even had a say in it. I'm just waking up, I can't be answering calls with my groggy voice.

"Good morning hello?" I said well asked

It came out sounding like a whisper. I look over at Ari sitting down next to me with her legs crossed and hands beneath her chin. She just sitting there staring at me with a big smile on her face. She's such a morning person, hopefully she stays this way when she gets older.

"Well good morning Asia. It's your favorite guy Jason" he sang happily through the phone.

I scoffed and with a smile I replied "Favorite where? Why did you call so early in the morning?"

I sat up a bit and started to stretch and then placed the phone on speaker. Ari didn't move a limp, she just continue sitting right there.

"Well today is Saturday and I was wondering if you're not busy or anything you, Ariel and I can go hang out?"asked Jason

"Ariel get me that big black book off the that table please" she needs to be doing some work now that she's up.

Even though today is Saturday, I still have work to do, salon and the club. But it all depends on the time my clients set their appointments today. From what I can remember, I have two people hair to do today and that's all.

"I have to check my schedule, give me a sec"

"Here you go mommy" she said then hands me the book.

I took it and opened it to today's date and check the time I should be expecting my first client. I don't feel like riding over to the salon today so I'm debating whether to phone these two ladies and have them come over to my place.

"I have my first client at 11:30 this morning, I'm not sure if I'm doing much with her hair. I think she's only coming for a little touch up. Then my second one I have at 4pm" I said

I'm sure between those hours we can at least find some time to chill a bit.

"So you're saying that you can't make it today, it's fine if you can't. We can always chill another day."he said

"Ugh yeah we can chill today, I'll hit you up when I'm free. I'm gonna make a quick run so give me a minute, I'll get back to you later." With that I end the call.

"So we going out today mom?" She's so quick to ask questions.

I nod my head and then take a look at my schedule and dial the first number I saw next to my first client name. Everything I needs I have them right here at my house so it wouldn't be a problem to do her hair right in my living room.

~Phone call started after three rings~

Me : Good morning this is Asia..

Layanna: Hello good morning, what's up?

Me: You schedule your hair appointment for today at 11:30 right?

Layanna: Oh yes I did. I'll be on time.

Me: Well today I won't be at the salon so you can hit me up at my crib. I'll send you the location via what's app.

Layanna: Oh okay sure no problem. Is 11:30am still a good time to come?

Me: Yes sure.

Layanna: Alrighty see you soon.

~Phone call ended~

"Rose left already aye?"
I got up and stretched and then throw my legs over to the next side where I last left my black fluffy slides.

"No she's in the kitchen making me some soup" she responded in her cute little baby voice.

"Oh okay cool, I'll be in the bathroom." I said and then placed my phone on the bed next to her.

I opened the door to the small corridor and went into the bathroom. Wow I can't believe I'm looking this bad this morning. My unruly hair is a whole mess. Last night when I got home the only thing I did was yanked off the extensions and let me hair out. That tight ponytail had my head spinning.

I shrugged my shoulders and take out my toothbrush then I added some tooth paste on it. Time to get my morning started I guess.

^
"I've been meaning to ask you, can I stay down here for a couple days please? I'll help pay rent if I have to" Rose begged basically

My eyebrows rose up in confusion and now I'm curious as to why she wants to crash here for couple days. I mean I really don't mind if she stays here to be honest. But she will have to help me pay some rent. I'm not making that much to be providing for everyone.

"I mean I don't mind but may I ask why?" I asked.

She looks away and then give me the sad face, "My landlord kick me out and she gives me one more day to move everything out."

"What? Ariel go get your books inside, why?" I said

Yes I had to send that nosey girl to go do something to occupy herself. I checked the time one more time while setting everything to the side so I can make room for my hair appointments.

"She said I kept paying my rent too late in the month and someone else needed to move in" she said.

Wow that's really tough, I can't believe someone would do such thing. I mean at the end of the day she still pays it. Late or not, better than never. Anyways that's not my cup of tea.

*Bling Bling* the ringer went off indicating someone's at the door.
Could be layanna.

"We can discuss this later okay" I told her

I went to answer to whoever maybe at the door, "Good morning Layanna how are you? C'mon in"

She had a huge smile on her face, she's a very slim girl with a nice shape. She had her long 4c hair frizz out and her skin looking smooth as always. Sis skin glowing.

"Your place looks really nice, I must give you some credits" she said following behind me.

I show her where to have a seat on the hair chair in front of the mirror in the living room. I just had to rearrange these things in here from my bedroom like an hour ago. Looking around I assume Rose went to join Ari in her bedroom.

Thinking bout the favor she asked me, it's space I'm looking at, like this apartment is only a two bedroom apartment. One room for me and the other one is Ariel own. Our living room is kinda okay I guess, if she have an air mattress it'll be good.

"So what all you want me do today with your hair?" I asked now playing with her hair with my big tooth comb.

I had every hair product laid out on the desk before me. I have more products for natural coiled hair than any other products. And of course I have the hard hair styles products as well starting from the hot comb to the curling iron.

"You know what I came for, I just want you to treat it like you always do." She replied

"I assumed you already washed it from home?" I asked before getting started

"Yes I did"
