"Oooh girl turn around and let me see."I said to one of mt loyal client's as I recorded her.

She spun around and smiled.

"They gone be hating on you at school ain't they?"I asked her and she nodded while laughing.

"Girl you're so pretty."I said and she smiled shyly.

"Okay boo you're done. Is your mama here?"I asked her as I placed her extra bundles back into to the bag they came with.

"Yeah there she go right there."she pointed at the door and her mama walked in.

"Ooooh Onyx, these are nice!!"she exclaimed while rushing over here and looking at the peek-a-boo braids that I had did on her daughter's head.

"It was all her idea."I smiled at her.

"You gone get your lashes and stuff done too?"she asked her daughter.

She nodded her head quickly.

"Gone back there then."she said and her daughter headed to the back where Raven did her lashes.

"Her fast ass finna think she all that, why you do that Onyx!?"

"Uh un she is not fast she just real pretty and got a cute shape, don't do her."I said.

"Girl when y'all gone get y'all nail lady? I can't wait to come up in here and get my shit done."

"Soon we're actually looking for somebody now."I said while cleaning up.

"Oh okay let me know if y'all need help with anything."

"Just don't switch up on us and keep putting us on the map."I said while sweeping.

"Will do, I ain't got shit else to do but work and take care of Destiny's expensive ass."she said referring to her daughter.

"Material girl never expensive, you gone get up off of her."

She laughed and I shook my head.

"I'll be right back, Ima run to my car real quick."she said and I nodded.

After she left out, the door chimed.

"We're closed!!!"I yelled as I walked into the break room and poured out the water I used to dip her ends.

As soon as I was about to turn around, I bumped into Von's big ass.

"What are you doing here!?"I asked him as I pushed him and he grabbed my arm pulling me closer to him.

Before kissing my lips, he grabbed my throat.

I moaned as I placed my hand on his stomach.

We then pulled away and I smiled.

"What? What do you want?"I looked at him and said.

"You ain't see me calling yo phone folks?"

"Yeah you called multiple times after I got off of the phone with you."

"So why you ain't answer?"

"'Cause you were getting on my nerves. I'm not finna keep barking at a bitch who ain't gone do none."I said and he instantly snatched me up.

"Who the fuck you think you talking to gang? On King David I'll beat yo ass in here."

"Okay okay chill before you stretch my fucking shirt out, cry baby ass."I said while pushing him before he let me go.

"Slap them fucking lashes back behind yo mfn ears."he said and I started laughing causing him to.

"Why you on this side of town anyways? Where Sha'Rita at?"

"What you worried 'bout her for?"

"I asked you why were you on this side of town."

"What you worried 'bout her for? It's me and you baby."

"Man whatever."I said while walking around him and going back to the front.

"Oh there you go, here goes your money. Tell Destiny I said come to the car when she gets finished."Deja said and I nodded as I took the money from her.

"Thank you!"she said while heading back outside.

She was on the phone with somebody so I'm guessing she wanted to converse in private.

I grabbed my keys and went to lock the door from the inside.

"What the hell you locking the door for?"Von asked me.

"We're closed and ain't nobody finna just run up in this bitch."

"Of course they ain't, you know ima kill 'bout you."he said while pulling out his gun and sitting it on his lap.

"You are?"I asked him as I walked up to him.

"Till the death baby."

I leaned forward in front of him and kissed his lips.

"Pop out."he said out of nowhere as I went to finish cleaning up.

"Where?"

"My brother throwing a Halloween party."he said while doing something on his phone.

"When?"

"Tonight, nigga."

"Ion know."I shrugged.

"Why you don't know?"

"Ain't you taking Sha'Rita?"

"Hell nah she ain't gangster enough to hang around me and my brothers."

"I am though?"

"Hell yeah."

"What makes you think that?"

"'Cause you don't be on no boujee shit."

I nodded in agreement.

"True but what ima wear? What are you wearing?"

"Shit I mean you already look like ya mama so you really don't need no cost— chill!"he said and I splashed a bit of my juice on him.

"Stop playing with me before I hurt you with yo goofy looking ass."I said while hitting him.

"Aight aight man chill out."

"Just for that, I'm going as myself."

"Hell nah yo ass need to mask up."

"Yeah you got me fucked up, on King David."

"Can you shut the fuck up?"he said while laughing and I chuckled.

"Yo ass wanna be me so bad."

"Yeah no try again."

"It's obvious."

"Not!"

"Nah for real though you need to come in disguise or some."

"If I gotta keep hiding that means you're not doing your part!"I semi yelled as I stood in front of him.

"I'm working on that, how many times do I gotta tell you that shit!?"

"Work harder then nigga before I do the job for you."

He sucked his teeth while shaking his head.

"So what ima do Von? Go to the party as myself or not go at all?"I asked him.

"You can stay where you at to be honest."he said while getting on his phone.

"You one sissy ass nigga, I swear."

"Aight."he said and I shook my head at him.

"Hey Von."I heard Raven say as she walked up here with Destiny.

"Wassup sis."

"Thank you!!"Destiny hugged me and then Raven.

"Oh you're welcome, let me walk you outside."I said as we headed outside with Von following behind us.

I made sure Destiny got in the car and they pulled off safely before I walked over to Von's car with him.

He unlocked the door and opened it before sitting in the driver's seat.

I stood in the doorway as I just stared at him.

"Fuck it how about we go somewhere else, fuck the party."he said out of nowhere.

I guess he was done throwing his lil fit.

"No Von if you wanna go to the party then go to the party."

"Nah we gone do our own shit tonight."he said and I nodded.

"So where we going?"

"You'll see when we get there just be ready by eleven."

"Eleven?"

"Yo ass tweakin' you seem to find a problem with every fucking thing."

"Vo—okay gone head and go to the party, I'll see you later."I said before walking off and going back into the salon.

I heard him yell my name a few times and blow the horn but I didn't bother to turn around.

I locked the door before I continued getting cleaned up with Raven.

Once we finished we locked up and headed home.
