CHAPTER TWENTY ONE
“ Did you sketch these ?” Zoey asked picking up the pieces of paper on my desk
“ Yeah I just don’t know which one to pick “ I said
“ How about you just combine everything “ She suggested
“wow Zo , This is why you’re in the sales department” I said
“ Are you saying I can’t design dresses ?” she asked
“ yes Zoey , you can’t design dresses “ I said and she threw a pillow at me .
“ Awww what was that for ?” I asked
“ That was for saying I can’t design dresses” she said
“ wow , I’ll get you back for this “ I said and she stuck out her tongue
I honestly hate this girl sometimes .
“ Laura let’s go get our hair and nails done “ she suddenly said
“ why ?” I asked
“ You’ve been styling your natural hair for about six months now , how about you switch things up a little bit “ she said winking
“ I done told you multiple times , don’t wink at me “
“ what ? What exactly is wrong with me winking ?” she asked throwing me another wink
Because you look like a wet koala when you do
“ Whatever , so what hairstyle do you suggest ?” I asked
“ How about braids ? You always look good in that “
“ Arrrgh , braids can be so annoying , my poor scalp “ I said massaging my hair
“ There’s this new salon down the road , if you’re down let’s go check it out “ she said
“ I’m ready “ I said
“ I thought you were sketching dress ideas “
“ I need to go out and free my brain , c’mon let’s go “ I said dragging her into the car .
I parked the car in front of the salon and made my way inside .
“ Good morning welcome to CHARLOTTE how can I help you ?” a girl said immediately we entered
“ She would like to get her hair braided and I want my nails done “ Zoey said
“Ok then please come this way Ma’am “ The lady said taking me to another lady
“ Good morning “ The other lady said
“ Hi “ I replied
“ How can I help you ?” she asked
“ I would love to braid my hair “
“ ok what type ?” she asked
“ Big knotless braids with butterflies “ I said
“ excellent choice ma’am please have your seat , the hairstylist will be here soon “ she said walking off
I made myself comfortable on the chair and looked around for Zoey , My eyes caught her sitting at the last edge of the room with an incredibly hot guy , she was smiling so wildly I thought her teeth would fall off , it’s obvious that she’s trying to hit on the guy .
“ Can we start now ?” The lady asked
“ of course “ I said before grabbing a magazine and zoning out of my environment .
“ Curly or straight hands ?” the lady asked
“ Straight hands please “ I replied
After an hour I looked behind me and saw Zoey still talking with the same guy from earlier , wow this girl must be whipped .
“ Is the hair almost finished ?” I asked which made the lady laugh a little
“ Yes ma’am its almost finished “
After another hour she started applying hot water and few minutes later , the hair was done .
Finally !
“ Thank you “ I said
After few treatment procedures and pictures taken I stood up from the chair and tried to locate Zoey , I saw her seating alone on one of the long chairs..
“ Hey there lonely kid “ I greeted and she scoffed
“ what’s wrong ?” I asked
“ You know that hot guy I was flirting with ?” she asked
“ Yes the pedicurist ?”
“ Yeah “
“ what’s up with him ?” I asked
“ I forgot to get his number “ she said
“ Wow Zoey that’s very unprofessional of you “ I said laughing and she shot me a death glare
“ Laura I’ve not felt this way in years , honestly girl I think I’m in love “ she said which made me laugh even harder
“ why are you laughing ?” she asked
“ Because you said the same thing about my gym instructor “ I said
“ That was before I found out that he was Bisexual “
“ Oh you’re right , you can still go ask him for the number , he’s right there “ I said
“ yeah I know but we are already past that stage , we already flirted and now he should be asking for my number “ she said
“ wow you’re really good at this “ I said
“ Anyways I can help you get the number “ I said walking
“ no don’t you dare –“
I cut her off by walking up to the good looking guy
“ Hey there “ I said and he turned to look at me , a megawatt smile appeared on his face as he saw me .
Wow , now I know why Zoey is whipped , he’s exactly her type , the tattoos , the abs , the short hair … everything screams big dick energy
“ Hi “ he said still smiling
“ You see my friend over there needs your number , I was wondering if you could give it out “ I said and he smiled even harder
Did that come out lame ?
“ of course “ he said
Yes ! I did it , I mentally hi fived myself and gave him my phone to put in his number .
“ Thank you so much “ I said collecting my phone back
I walked up to Zoey and saw her closing her eyes violently
“ I’m here” I announced
“ How was it ?” She asked
“ I got it “ I said and she threw herself on me
“ oh my God Lau you are a life saver “ she said which made me smile
“ Get your heavy weight off me you nursing whale “ I said and she laughed
“ This means a lot “ she said
“ Ok whatever “ I said walking off Feeling like an hero .
.

We got back to the house after having some ice cream , I saw a very expensive car packed infront of the house and I couldn’t help but marvel .
“ wow , one of our neighbors owns a Bugatti ?” I asked
“ There’s no way any of our neighbors could own this type of car “ Zoey said
“ What do you mean ? You don’t know if they are secretly rich and just hiding in this pathetic apartment ?” I said
“ Yeah right this isn’t some Hollywood – wait a minute “
“ what ?” I asked
“ The plate number says HARLOW” she said
Wait a minute , oh my goodness , Mr Harlow ?
Suddenly the doors opened and Mr Harlow came out , Zoey and I looked at him in shock .
“ Miss Miller , we meet again “ he said
“ uhhh hi Mr Harlow , I’ll see you later byeee “ she said running off
“ well that was weird , anyways it’s nice to see you again Laura and can I just say you look stunning in that hairstyle “ he said
“ Uhh thank you sir , what are you doing here ?” I asked then he brought out his expensive phone and gave it to me .
“ what?” I asked
“ I think there’s something wrong with my phone “ he said
What the …
“ ok let me get this straight , you drove all the way here just to tell me that there’s something wrong with your phone ?” I asked
“ well that’s not the only reason but it’s the main one “ he said
I looked at the phone , it’s not like I’m some kind of engineer so why is he bringing his damn phone to me for repair ?
Is it weird that I want to steal this phone from him and run away with it?
Yeah it is …
“ I don’t know anything about phones Mr Harlow , what exactly is wrong with it ?” I asked
“ it’s Nick outside the office , remember?” he asked
“ Oh yeah , My bad Mr Nick … Nick “ I said and he laughed
“ Just Nick will do “
“ Ok so what’s wrong with your phone ?” I asked
“ oh yeah It doesn’t have your number in it “
Wait what
“ uhhh ?” I asked
“ imagine my surprise when I found out I didn’t have your number saved on my phone “ he said
“Oh … You could have checked my employee resume “ I said
“ Apparently someone dropped a fake number on her resume “ he said raising a brow
Oh yeah , that’s true , I changed the number on my resume few Months ago when I found out that a lot of guys were checking it to get my number .
“ it’s a long story “ I said
“ Whatever just give me your number “ he said
“ why do you want my number ?” I asked
“To call you “ he said in a Duh tone
Wow…
“ Laura I want to be the first person you talk to in the morning and the last person you talk to before you go to sleep , I want you to always think of me , I want to always be running through your mind just like you’re running through mine “ he said
Dear Mother Help me
“ Ummm why ?” I asked stupidly
“ I thought I already made it clear Laura , I want to seduce you so bad just like you’ve seduced me “ he said
Butterflies erupted in my stomach like a volcanic eruption
I think I’m done for …
A SOLILOQUY ONLY YOU CAN LISTEN TO:
25/05/22
I collected a bullet for her , me ? A certified playboy collected a bullet for some girl ?
What is wrong with me ?
The most annoying part is the stupid pain that gripped my heart when she was crying .
What is happening to me ?
Why does my heart skip a bit whenever she’s around ?
Why is she so hard to get to bed ?
What’s so special about her ?
