My alarm went off and I woke up to get ready for work. Last night, Imani and I probably got home at around 1am. She ended up sleeping over in the room she had here but before we went to bed she told me about the argument Von and her had in the car last night. We drank a little more and I was a little tipsy before I went to bed.
I walked to the bathroom that was attached to my bedroom and connected my phone to the speaker that was sitting on the sink. I played my "vibes" playlist and the first song that came on was "Too Fast" by Sonder.
I had already taken a shower last night/very early this morning because I don't like to get in bed dirty especially when I was around all them sweaty people. I washed my face, brushed my teeth and did my skin care. I had a couple of clients today so I planned on wearing something comfortable. I walked to my closet and picked out some grey leggings, white crop, and a pink zip-up sweater to go with it. It got cold in my "tech" room.
I went to the kitchen to make something and found Imani already in there eating my cereal.
"Good morning bestie," I said as I walked into the kitchen and made myself a bowl of trix as well.
"Morning," She mumbled. She must have been hungover because she got SHITFACED last night.
"I have couple clients coming over today. Are you staying or going back home?" I asked before I took a bite of my cereal.
"I think imma go home and get myself refreshed... but do you have time to fit me in today? I have been needing to get my nails done, I just haven't remembered to come ask you," she said as she got up and walked to the sink to go wash her bowl at before coming back and sitting at the island beside me where she was before.
"Yeah. My last client comes at 4, so I should be done at around 6. Just come in whenever works for you," I said as I went to go put my bowl in the sink since I had finished my bowl of cereal.
"Alright."

It was now around 10 and I was waiting for my first client to come. Her appointment was at 10:15. Imani had left at around 9 and I was just chilling until my client came. I got a notification on my phone from instagram while I was watching my show. I clicked on it.

I left him on seen because my client had just entered. I'm a little nervous because I don't be talking to guys or hanging out with them often. My only real friend is Imani and I'm totally fine with that because other bitches be fake.

I finished up with my 4th client of the day, now I was just waiting for Imani to show up. I was planning to tell her all about this guy situation. Come to think of it, I don't even know his name but from his insta name, it's probably Mari.
Imani showed up a couple minutes later and I locked my door after she came in because she was the last client of the day. She wanted to get a winter set. She wanted red and white frenchies and left me to come up with the rest.
I started prepping her nails.
"Soo.. I met some guy at the party last night," I said softly
"Who?!?! Tell me what happened with every little detail."
I told her what happened at the house last night, "...then he hit me up this morning and he wants to 'chill' after I finish up with your nails," I said raising my hands to do quote marks and then went back to finishing the French on her thumbnail.
"First of all, why didn't you come find me if your anxiety was going up? We could've left. Secondly, what does chill mean and is he fine?"
"He said he wants to smoke and talk or some shit. And yes he is sooooo fineee. He's giving boom shakalaka yes gawddd (ifykyk). He a dark skin with dreads and he got a little tattoo on his face," I said as I pulled out my phone to show her his insta posts.
"Damnnn. That nigga is fioneee," She said emphasizing the word "fine" as she scrolled through his posts with the hand I wasn't working on.
We talked some more while I finished up her nails.
"Can I stay over while you're out with him so I can get all the deets when you come back?" She said as we walked out of my tech room.
"Yeah, just don't be eating all my shit," I said as I pulled out my phone to message him.

rd otw
I talked to Imani while I waited for him to show up. I was pretty nervous and especially since I only just met the nigga. What if he kidnaps me...
About 30 minutes later, I heard a knock on the door and looked at Imani. She just smiled and pushed me off the couch and towards the door.
