The Angel's Calling

Chapter 24

Finally, Jessica and I made our way back to the salon where Peyton was supposed to be ready. Since Jessica had contacts there, she let me put my bags in the other room. When we sat down on the couch, I was surprised to see how the hairdresser was doing his hair. Out of curiosity, I slowly but surely took steps next to the hairdresser. My mouth fell open when I saw Peyton.

Me: What is this?

Peyton's gaze fell on me. He hadn't been here for very long but it seemed lie he wanted to get out of there as possible.

Peyton: Don't get me started. I hadn't seen my own hair for at least 15 minutes and I'm fearing for my life.

I looked at him, stunned. Jessica then spooked me, standing next to me. She looked between me and Peyton

Jessica: Okay, you two need to relax. This is Lucy we're talking about. She's  one of my best friends and to be honest, she's awesome.

Lucy chuckled.

Lucy: Don't overrate me, Jess. But indeed, consider me flattered.

She showed us her smile.

Jessica: Never and of course. Anyways, I've seen her working and she has talent. You both will be surprised.

She then looked at me and realised that I already have seen his new haircut. She chuckled.

Jessica: Well, now one of you at least.

Peyton turned his attention from her to me.

Peyton: Jose! How does it look like? And please, be honest.

To be honest, I was already stunned by his back. I didn't know how he looked like at the front.

Me: Im sorry Peyton put Lucy is in front of you. The back seems nice but I can't tell.

Peyton: okay

He growled at this situation. A few minutes later Lucy nodded at us and removed the cloth round his neck. She walked away and my mouth fell open once again. This wasn't Peyton at all, he rather seemed like a model lost in someone's clothes. Jessica looked at me and chuckled.

Peyton: Well? How do I look like?

Peyton raised one of his eyebrows, when he saw my mouth open.

Jessica: Why don't you turn around?

Peyton nodded, stood up and turned around. His eyes widened for a second and went through his hair with his hand. He turned around and looked at Jessica.

Peyton: Okay, consider me officially surprised.

Jessica: One of us is shocked even.

She pointed at me with her head. 

Jessica: I knew I could pull it off. Well, Lucy could have done the same but...

She looked at me, then turned back to Peyton.

Jessica: Let's just say she was in her own bubble. Still, ..this is the full potential I talked about.

She looked at me and told me to close my mouth.

Jessica: I'm gonna pay for your new haircut. Be right back.

As soon as she left, I fell back on the couch and I lost myself in thought. I could hear Peyton's faint voice but I didn't care. There was no way that everything will stay the same after today.  He was okay hot already at first... Jessica just had to mix it up.

Peyton: Josephine??

I shook my head and looked at him. He sits down next to me.

Peyton: Is it that bad uh?
