“I don’t know.”
“Can I make a request?”
Irish’s mouth was stretched so wide that her cheeks ached.
“Sure?”
“Get a ponytail so I can see that beautiful face.”
“A high ponytail or a low ponytail?”
“Low.”
Blushing, she confirmed, “I’ll see what I can do. So, if you’re requesting hairstyles, that means I’ll be seeing you tonight?”
“Definitely. I’ll hit you later.”
“Bye.”
“Yep.”
Irish looked at the phone, trying her best to catch herself from falling but it was too late. Noble had her and she wasn’t ashamed to admit it.
Irish was in her favorite seat—Rozalin’s chair, getting pampered for the week. Since Ivory had gone back to Miami, it was just her making the visit.
“You said you want a ponytail?” Rozalin asked.
“Yes, a low one. Do you have any hair that matches mine?”
“Hmm,” Rozalin hummed. “I might but you rarely want a ponytail. What you trying to do, Irish?”
She chuckled. “What do you mean? What’s wrong with me switching it up?”
“Ain’t nothing wrong with you switching it up,” Clarice dipped into their conversation. “But you don’t get low ponytails that often.”
Irish pursed her lips. “How would you know? You don’t do my hair.”
“Uh because I’m here every time your red-headed ass comes here, duh.” She smacked her lips.
Shay tittered, applying dye to her client’s hair. “I think a low ponytail is going to look good on you, girl.”
“Thank you, Shay.” Irish playfully rolled her eyes at Clarice.
“Anyways, y’all I have to tell you what I recently did,” Clarice teased.
“Got arrested again?” Rozalin guessed.
“Called your baby daddy’s new girlfriend and told her that y’all still fucking,” Shay added.
“Slashed his tires,” Quisha, the nail technician, supposed.
Clarice’s jaw dropped as everyone burst into a chorused laugh.
“Well, damn, it’s nice to know that y’all think I’m this ghetto bitch who gets into all this trouble.”
Rozalin smacked her lips. “You’ve done all of what we named. Please don’t try to act like you’re above all of this.”
“Anyways.” Clarice cut her eyes at her. “Like I was saying. So, you know those stoplight booths that’s around the city?”
