As I pulled up to the hair salon, I saw my best friend inside doing one of her client's hair. As I walked in, I could smell hair curlers, flat irons, and the store's homemade hair spray. Now I know what you're thinking, "Homemade Hair Spray!?!?" That's what I said at first too. But it actually works pretty good. You should try it.
"Hey girl!" My best friend Dawn shouted.
"Hey Dawn" I responded laughing.
"I'll be with you in about 5 minutes."
It was her shop. "Dawn's" was the best Hair Salon in all of New York City, and everyone knew it. It was even rated #1 Salon out of about 300 in the top magazine of the state. Dawn and I met when we were in the 2nd grade, and been best friends ever since.
"Come on Leah" she said as a girl was getting out of her chair.
"What you doing here?" She asked as she gave me a hug.
"So you know I won my case yesterday right?"
"Yeah girl it was all over the news!"
"Well I told Shawn this morning, and girl was he happy. He was so happy that he said that he wanted to celebrate."
"Celebrate!?" She said shocked.
"Exactly what I said! But he was like that he was gonna leave me his debit card to get my hair done, my nails, a new outfit everything girl. And he said that he would have his assistant make a reservation at New York's best restaurant. And you already what that is."
" GIRLLLLL I KNOW HE DIDN'T MEAN MAURICE'S!!!" Dawn shouted.
"Yes he did girl! He told me that he would be at the house around 8 to pick me up."
"Ohh s**t girl. Man you lucky asf. I wish Chris punk ass would do something like that for me." Chris was a good friend of mine. Him, Dawn, & I were best friends back in the day. We met around the same time I met Dawn. The only difference was me and Dawn met Chris in the third grade. Dawn and Chris always had chemistry, they just didn't want to admit it. But when we were in the 11th grade, Chris finally asked Dawn to be his girlfriend. And they've been together ever since.
"Haha girl you already know Chris is not the romantic type."
"He sure ain't. His thinks take out from Big Buck's Barbeque and a glass of cheap wine is romantic." She said laughing.
"Well at least he tries Dawn"
"Yeah he tries. But sometimes I just want more than that, you know what I'm saying?"
I knew exactly how she felt. Because before Shawn surprised me this morning, I was feeling the same way. But I settled because I loved my husband. And I figured since he worked so hard, that was the reason our social life had ended, including our s*x life.
It had been two hours when Dawn began taking off the my gown saying that she was done. It looked AMAZING. My head was filled with large curls, with a swoop near my part. After we said our goodbyes, and I paid her, I headed out the door about to make my way to my next destination.
