Chapter
1
All
Natural Hair Salon’s busiest time was the first weekend of the
month. Fatima made it to the salon at ten o’clock that morning.
After parking her car in front of the salon, she noticed Lauryn and
Sheba were already inside. The front window shades were pulled back
and the lights were on.
“Good
morning, ladies,” Fatima said as she walked through the door.
“Good
morning, Fatima,” Lauryn answered, while sashaying to her
workstation in her high heels and locs pulled back into a lobster
tail style. Always the diva, Lauryn appeared to be in a good mood and
eager to work.
“Hey,
girl, you finally made it in,” Sheba said as she sorted through her
laundry bag of towels. Her hair was loose in a kinky and curly
twist-out hairstyle. She was dressed comfortably in white skinny
jeans.
“Are
there any messages for me?” Fatima asked.
“A
young lady called to make an appointment. She requested a low
maintenance hairstyle.”
“What
time did she call?” Fatima inquired.
“She
called a few minutes before you walked in,” Lauryn replied. “She
said her name was Danielle Evans.”
“Did
she leave her phone number?”
“I
put it on your desk,” she said.
Fatima
continued to her station so she could check her itinerary for the
day. It was unusually free. “I’ll just work a half day and meet
up with my honey later,” she told her co-workers.
Fatima
then sat in her chair and started daydreaming about the day she would
become Mrs. Ephraim Okoye. She could not wait to see him.
“Ladies,
what are your plans today?” Fatima questioned.
“I
have a couple of appointments for locs retightening, and I got a new
client scheduled this morning. He’s a chef and new in town.”
Lauryn smirked while doing a shimmy with her shoulders to show her
excitement.
“A
new male client? Girl, you be pullin’ the men,” teased Sheba.
“I
need to pull a husband.”
“Baby,
I met my husband when I wasn’t even lookin’. I was minding my own
business down at the Farmer’s Market and––”
Lauryn
rolled her eyes. “Sheba, you’ve told that story so many times,”
she said, cutting Sheba off and looking down at her iPad to show her
disinterest in hearing it again.
Sheba
walked over to Lauryn and tapped her on the knee with her forefinger.
“When you least expect it, that’s when you’re gonna meet him.
It happened to me, girl!”
“I
wish God would hurry up and send him!” Lauryn snipped. “Most
married people forget what it’s like to be single, so it’s easy
for them to tell someone else to be patient.”
“That’s
not true,” Sheba replied.
Fatima
butted in. “Some women who are married have never had to experience
being single for long.”
“Don’t
you just hate that, girl?” Lauryn said. “Then they try to tell
you to wait and have faith. Chile, please!”
