My alarm went off at 9 this morning to remind me that I had a couple of clients today because I definitely didn't forget. M first client was supposed to come at 10:15 which gave me time to freshen up and then set my studio up so that it is ready for my first client.

My first client shouldn't take too long because she requested a short fill-in  with basic simple French and then my next client doesn't come until 12. So today should be a chill day.

~~~~~~~~

After I finished up my first client and she left, I cleaned up my station and set it up for my next client. Then I went to the kitchen to make me a little snack. I just cut up an apple and had some peanut butter on the side.

While I was sitting at my island eating my apple slices, I heard a knock on my door. It's open because I have a couple of clients coming today so I didn't feel the need to lock the door each time especially since I live in a pretty safe area.

Most of my clients know to just come in so I was confused as to who was knocking.

"Come in," I said loud enough for the person on the other side of the door to hear.

It was Amari.

"Why don't you keep this door locked, Aysia?" He said as he faced the door and locked it.

"Well hello to you too. I usually do but I have a couple of clients coming today and I leave the door open for them," I said as I got up to unlock the door again.

As I went to walk back over to my seat at the island, he grabbed me by my waist and pulled me close to him.

"Good morning, mami," he smiled and kissed my head.

I was deadass about to faint right then and there. Why is he so sexy????

"Why you ain't tell me you had clients today? I would have come later," He let go of me and made his way to the seat beside mine at the kitchen island.

"I thought you were going to come over later. I have 3 more clients today," I went back to my seat and then finished up my apples before cleaning up the dishes I used to cut up the apple.

"You want me to leave?"

"No, you're good. You can hang out in the living room or my room while my appointments unless you want to come back later."

"I'll stay for a bit but I got shit to do a little later so I might come back after I finish that up."

"Mk" I went over to my couch and sat there on my phone while I waited for my client. I was definitely being a bad host but I didn't know what to do. I told him that there was nothing to do here.

He walk over to the couch and sat beside me, throwing my legs over his lap and then gazing down at me.

He snatched my phone out of my hand and tossed it to the other side of the couch, "You not happy to see me? I can leave."

I looked at him a bit annoyed because why would he snatch my phone out of my hand? I didn't want him to leave because I liked being in his presence, I just didn't know how to entertain him.

"No... I don't want you to leave, I just don't know what to do."

"When your client supposed to come?" he said as he rubbed up and down my legging covered legs.

"12 so we got about half an hour left."

"How about we start looking for our show?" he said as he grabbed the remote off of the coffee table in front of us and turned the tv on.

It made me smile to know that he actually wanted to do cute things like this with me. "Mk," I said and he gave me an annoyed look.

"Stop with that 'mk' shit"

I rolled my eyes and turned to look at the tv so we should do a bit of looking for our show.

~~~~~~~~~

After a lot of arguing, we finally settled on a show. Shameless. I didn't mind watching it but I wanted to watch The Office. We couldn't start the show because my client showed up so I got off the couch and got started on her nails.

In the middle of doing her nails, he peaked his head into my studio and let me know he was leaving and he probably wouldn't be back until around 7.

I made small talk with my client and we listened to some R&B while  I did her nails. Every time this client came, she always had inspo for her set which made it easy for me and the design always ate up. Always. She's probably my favorite person to do nails on.

~~~~~~~~

I finished up with all my clients at around 6:45 and then went into the kitchen to start on some dinner.

I was feeling some tacos tonight so I made some.

In the middle of cooking, there was a knock on the door to which I assumed it was Amari so I told him to come in and lock the door since he was the last person to be coming in here today.

"Ooou it smell good. What you got cooking, mami?"

"Tacos. You want some?"

"Hell yeah. A nigga is hungry."

I laughed to myself a bit. He sure do cuss a lot for someone who don't want me cursing around him. I'll have to bring that up with him at some point.

I made a plate for the both of us and then asked him if he wanted to eat on the couch so we could start our show. He said yes so I grabbed two blackberry Izze and followed him into the living room.

I passed him one of the cans.

"What the hell is this?"

"An Izze. It's sparkling juice," I said with a smile on my face.

"Nah just get me a water or sum."

"Just try it. It's really good. I promise and if you don't like then you can get a water," I said as I opened up both of our cans and then took a sip from mine.

"Go ahead."

He looked at me like I was crazy but then picked up the can and took a sip. He made this face telling me that he didn't like it at all and I laughed.

"That shit is nasty. I don't know how you like it," He said and then took a bite out of his taco to get the taste out of his mouth and then moaned at the taste of that, "But this shit is good as fuck."

I smiled. "How come you can have the mouth of a sailor but every time I say a curse word you gotta say something about it?" I said and then took a bite of my second taco while waiting for a response from him.

He shrugged his shoulders.

This nigga shrugged his fucking shoulders!!!!

"Well until you can give me an answer, I feel like I should talk and use any vocabulary I fucking want."

He gave me a glare at that but didn't say anything.

For the rest of the night we watched our show and after we finished eating, I took a break to clean up the kitchen before going back to the living room to continue watching the show with him.
