"No, I don't do kids babe." Sayoni rolls her eyes. She is on the last braid in her clients hair. And she keeps asking if Yoni does kids hair.

"Why" The Client asks and Yoni sighs shifting her weight to one side and decides not to answer the questions.

Sayoni wishes she could braid faster. This client don't do nothing but question Yoni's policy.

Yoni don't do kids under 12. The reason for that is because kids act different when their parents leave and they cry, yell, touch, and don't know how to stay still. It gets on Yoni's last nerve.

Yoni grabs her scissors and starts cutting the split ends on the hair.

"You done?" The client asks and Sayoni hums. Putting the scissors down.

"I just got to dip the ends and you can leave" Sayoni gets her money before she starts doing the hair, because she can't have people trying to run out on her, that's just not okay.

Sayoni grabs the hot water off the heater and dips her hair, twice. She dry's it and walks away. "You don't want to take a video" The client asks and Sayoni shakes her head sitting on a chair and pulling her phone out.

"Well, thank you" She says walking towards the front door. "You're welcome, feel free to return anytime" Yoni smiles following her to the door.

Yoni locks the door before her smile drops. Her hands feel like they could decay and fall off at any moment. She runs warm water in her kitchen.

She gets a call from her bestfriend, Neveah. She answers setting her phone up on the counter.

Sayoni let's put a breath of relief as her hands soak in the warm water.

"Bitch, you okay?" Neveah asks. It looks like Neveah is in her closet. "Well, my hands hurt like I just got done fighting or sum, and I'm tired as fuck." Sayoni complains shifting her weight from leg to leg because her legs also hurt.

"Well don't be to tired bitch we still got to go outside" Neveah smiles excited. Neveah just got out of a relationship, she cheated, they broke up. She wants to go into her next one.

"I don't know. I just got done with hair, and I am sleepy" Sayoni takes her wet hands out the water and shake them dry.

"Yoni please. C'mon you want me to go out by myself.." Neveah says Sayoni blankly stares at the phone, fake disbelief written on her face. "How the hell you go try to Manipulate me?" Sayoni chuckles picking her phone up.

She goes towards her room, then her closet. "Fine, I'll go out with your ass, but I'm not staying out all night." Yoni bites the inside of lip looking at the phone and Neveah is just looking at her knowingly.

She knows every-time Yoni says. 'I'm not staying out all night' she's lying. Sayoni be having to much fun to actually go in early.

"I'm serious veah"

"How you a Barbie doll? Bitch, you ain't got a car" Yoni Dances with her drink in her hand. "You ain't got a car bitch!" Yoni shouts drunk, and Veah laughs.

"Why you yelling" Neveah question giving Yoni some water. "Because that bitch always talking shit, but need a ride" Yoni slurs out as her body is just waving.

"Like how you always got, Yoni name in your mouth but need a Uber" Yoni gets hyped and angry as she is talking about the situation with a girl named Kris. Neveah laughs. "It's 2 in the morning it's time for you to go home.".

"No Bitch. You wanted me to go outside now I'm out and you want me to go in? Like I look good as fuck." Yoni says laughing and Neveah just stares at her. "Yeah let's go".

"Where your phone so we can unlock the car" Veah says as they approach Yoni's Tesla. Neveah is holding Yoni up with her arm on her shoulder.

"In my purse, why we leaving? It don't close till three" Yoni asks as Neveah unlocks the car doors and put her in the back seat. "Yoni, it's 2:30 babes" Neveah gets in the drivers seat.

Neveah starts the car up and she looks in the rearview mirror at Yoni who is sleep. She's laid across the backseat.

"Sayoni you're disrespectful as fuck, you don't listen to nothing. You ain't go learn till s- AHH I don't care. You get on my phone everyday and do this" Sayoni cuts her mother off. Her mom got mad because she told her she not giving her any money. She just gave her money two days ago.

"I just told you I got a headache and you steady wanting to argue, get on with all that. You got about 4 other kids for that" Yoni says making herself something to eat. She cooking herself breakfast. It doesn't matter at what time she goes to sleep. She always wakes up in the morning.

"You think I give a fuck about your fucking headache, I got bills to pay for your '4' other siblings" Destiny tells her daughter and Yoni jerks her head back.

"You don't care about my headache? I don't care what your talking about" Yoni says before hanging up the phone sliding it across the counter.

"Fuck off my phone, it's fucking 9 in the morning. Yelling about money. When I just gave your ass 2 thousand two days ago." Yoni talks to herself getting mad.

Yoni and her mother always arguing about money. That's one of the reasons she moved out.

Sayoni has to go to the mall and get herself some new shoes. She usually orders them online but she just want to shop in person.

Yoni looks at the jewelry through the glass, She really wants a new Tennis bracelet. But money ain't right.

"I'm go just take the rings"  Yoni tells the man before the door opens. The bell above the door rings signaling someone has entered.

Yoni turns around seeing a group of guys. They're walking in laughing and loud.

"Ou, what you on" Sayoni hears making her look over and some the guys are looking at her. She just watches as they bag her rings up.

"You feisty, huh?" She hears the same voice. She grabs money out her bag. "Folks she don't want yo ass" Another guy says and they all chuckle.

Yoni puts her phone on the glass as the man approaches her.

Yoni goes into her purse, pulling out four thousand. Sayoni makes her money from instagram and doing hair. She does everything, Quick weaves, sew in, closures, installs, Etc.

She pays before grabbing the bag and exiting. The rings came with their own little jewelry box.

"Aye!" Sayoni hears as she walks towards her car. The man repeats himself.

Yoni stops walking, clutching her purse.

"Y'all nigga's don't know how to take a hint or something? I got a fucking taser in my purse" Yoni says and he stops holding her phone out.

"Damn folks, I'm just trying to return yo phone" he says and Sayoni takes her phone. She looks behind him seeing some of the guys watching them, closely.

"Thank you" She says and he swipes his tongue over his lips.

"Yo ass was just over dodging bro, you single?" He asks. Sayoni puts her phone into her purse.

"Yeah" She looks at him. He has dreads, big fine lips, strong jawline.

"Let me get your instagram or sum" He says and Yoni squints her eyes. "Okay" She says and he unlocks his phone, going on Instagram.

He hands her the phone and she searches her Instagram. Yoni hands him the phone.

"I'm go get up with you. I'm Von" He says and Sayoni nods. "I'm Sayoni, and alright." Yoni turns around continuing to her car.

She gets in.

Sayoni unlocks her phone seeing her mom called her 3 times. She pulls off and calls her mom back.

"Yeah, Wassup" Yoni questions as the phone picks up. "My bad I couldn't answer, I had accidentally left my phone in the store" Sayoni apologizes to her mother.

"It's cool baby. I wanted to apologize for earlier, I didn't mean to get on your nerves. It's just this shit been stressful. And I just needed help, that's all" Destiny says rubbing her temple. "It's cool, ma." She tells her.

"Where's jay? I told him I would pick him up to go see a movie" Sayoni asks driving towards her moms house.

"He in his room, I'll tell him you're on your way" Destiny tells her. "Okay, I'm going to call you back when I get outside" Destiny says before hanging the phone up.

"Hey Jay" Yoni says as her other brother Elijah puts him into the backseat. "Hey Yoni" Jaylen smiles. Sayoni smiles at her little brother.

"You sure the rest off y'all don't want to come" Sayoni asks Elijah and he shakes his head. "Nawl they said they got stuff to do, and I'm about to go to sleep" Elijah says and Sayoni nods.

She looks at Jaylen and he's on his iPad. "Okay, see you, I love you" Yoni tells Elijah and he walks towards the house. "Love you too" he says.

Yoni waits till her gets in the house before pulling off.

Sayoni is the oldest of her four siblings. Darion is the second oldest, he's 18. Then there's David, he's 13, Mariah, 12, And Jaylen, 5.

"You ready, bud" Sayoni asks and Jaylen gives her a thumbs up. "Yep" he says.
