Keith.
Two Weeks Later.

I sat in my chair after finishing up my second to last customer. I've never been more ready to get the hell up out of here. It's been 2 weeks since all that shit went down with Brittany and April and I can't seem to get more than two words out of April.

She ain't even at work today. She really holds grudges.

"You talked to April?" I asked Chris.

He nodded while sitting down. "That expensive ass car she got finally finished so she had to take care of that."

"Oh, I know she happy."

"Yeah...what happened between y'all. One minute y'all cool, the next she blowing you off?"

"It was just a crazy misunderstanding."

"That's my sister Keith, I can't take that as an answer. Something had to happen."

I exhaled, while rubbing my head. "Well you know April lives a few houses down for me. One day she came to borrow eggs from me."

"I think I know what day that was." He laughed.

"When April came over my ex was there. She saw April and immediately started talking shit. April held her ground though. After I sent my girl back upstairs, I walked your sister to the door. I go back upstairs and my girl starts tripping about your sister and I need to find a new shop to work at. I tell her she tripping and that she ain't even told me that she got a fucking kid. So she go crazy asking me who told me that. She assume April told me about her baby, I mean she did but I never told my ex that. Next thing I know she runs out the house and down to your sister house and they start fighting. April been mad at me ever since. I don't know what to do to make her forgive me."

"Like I told you when you first started working here, my sister hold grudges. She the type you gotta make listen or it ain't no turning back."

"I really ain't mean for none of that shit to happen."

"Just go talk to her. But I hope you got your ex under control. I ain't got no problem smacking a bitch for my sister. And word of advice never EVER wife a hoe from the strip club. Them bitches always got secrets."

I laughed cause that's true. "Aye, what's her favorite color?"

"Pink, I think."

"Thanks man."

......

After finishing up my last client, I quickly packed up and left. When I got settled in my car, I dialed Aprils number. It went straight to voicemail so I guess I just gotta do a pop up.

I went and grabbed some flowers and huge pink bear. Girls can't deny flowers and a cute bear. After that I headed to her place.

Her brand new benz truck sat in her driveway.

I grabbed her stuff and headed up to the door and rang the bell. I could hear her running to the door, then it opened.

She rolled her eyes when she saw me.

"What's this?" She asked pointing to the stuff in my hand.

"An I'm sorry present." I smiled.

"You must've talked to my brother to get my favorite color."

"Most girls favorite color is pink."

"Mmhm." She stepped back. "Come in."

I walked inside while she shut the door. Then she came up to me and took the stuff out my hands.

"Thanks." She said.

"No problem."

"You can have a seat in the living room."

I nodded and walked there. Her house made mine look like crap. But that's because I'm guy, I could care less about all these decorations and shit. As long as I got a couch and a TV.

April came and sat across from me.

"Nice truck." I said.

"Thanks."

There was a long awkward silence.

"April, I know you're mad about what happened a couple weeks ago and I want you to know that I feel bad about everything. That's why dumped her."

"So you dumped her, for me?"

"Yeah. She disrespected you from the jump, that wasn't cool. And she felt like I didn't need to know about her daughter."

"But y'all were in a relationship so you should've known."

"I know but that's over and done."

"Whatever, you should just be happy I didn't kill that bitch. I can't believe she actually came down here to fight me."

"Jealousy makes you do stupid shit man."

"Real stupid." She rolled her eyes.

"April, I'm sorry. I feel bad. I could've grabbed her, I could've did something. She shouldn't have even made it down to your house. I really want to fix this."

"You don't know how bad I want to go up to AOD and strangle her ass. I don't fight Keith, I'm too cute for that shit!"

"You right, you are." I bit my lip.

"Don't try to be sexy right now, I'm still mad."

"Don't be. I'll apologize a million times if I have to. I dumped her, I got rid of the problem. I won't be satisfied until you forgive me." I made a pouty face. She smiled.

"You're really done with her?"

"Yes, I am."

She got up and sat next to me. "So you really expect me to believe you gave up your stripper/cashier for me?"

I laughed. "Yeah. I did. Like I told you before, I wanna get to know you."

She bit her lip. "Well get to know me."

"What made you want to do hair?"

"College wasn't really my thing and it was between that or flipping burgers. My dad said if I completed cosmetology school he'd buy me a salon and that was all I needed to hear. While in school I fell in love with doing hair and became really good at it."

"Well you should really thank your pops, doing hair turned out real good for you."

"Really good...what made you cut hair?"

"It's something I did to keep money in pocket and to keep me busy when my mom got remarried. I became really good at it, when I moved to LA, I turned it into a career."

"I would never guess you were a barber. You give me that model or actor vibe."

"I get that a lot, mainly because of the way I dress."

"Yeah, you have this 90s thing going on. I like it." She smiled.

"Thank you."

"So you said that you wanted to stay busy when your mom remarried. You didn't like your step dad?"

"Swear that man came straight from hell. He was the worse man."

"Damn, that's tuff."

"He passed away though, from cancer."

"Sorry to hear that."

"I'm not."

"Yikes...he must've been horrible."

"Yeah, but I don't really wanna talk about that now."

"That's fine."

"Your parents still together?"

"Yeah. Well Chris has a different dad, that's why he doesn't look so much like me and Dominique."

"Yeah, y'all look nothing alike."

"I know but I love my big brother. He's dope."

"He's the reason I'm here. He's the one that told me to get to know you."

"Oh did he? I'm sure my brother will do anything to make me get over my ex."

"I hope it's working." My tongue ran over my lips.

"It is."

She nervously played with her hair.

"So you know you still owe me dinner right?" I asked.

"Yeah, but I don't have anything ready. All my meat is frozen."

"Well I guess take out will do. I know a dope soul food place that delivers."

"I'm sure you do. You order, I'll pay."

"You're always paying it's my turn."

"I'm cool with that. I would like ribs, mac and cheese and a cheesecake if they have it."

"Alright."

I pulled out my phone and ordered our stuff. April got up and walked into the kitchen. I just watched her ass that hung out the bottom of shorts.

She eventually came back with a pint of patron, lime juice and two cups with ice.

"Damn, you tryna get me drunk tonight?" I asked while taking the bottle from her.

"It's nothing wrong with loosening up a bit."

I opened the bottle and poured it in the cup and killed the shot. "I don't need a chaser, I'm a grown ass man."

"Oooou, ok." She sat next to me and grabbed the bottle poured her a shot and killed it. "I does this drinking shit boo."

"You trying to have us both fucked up in here?"

"Maybe." She licked the rim of the cup of the cup.

........

April climbed off of me and laid on the bed trying to catch her breath. I pulled the condom off and managed to get up. Stumbling to the trash can I threw it away.

I walked back over to the bed and grabbed her leg pulling her to me.

"You see what happen when you give me a bunch of liquor." My words slurred.

"Good things happen."

I kissed her pussy lips then climbed on top of her and kissed her lips.

"So all that shit you was mad about earlier, you still mad?"

"Mad about whaaaat? I don't even remember what happened." She was so damn drunk.

I bent down and roughly kissed her, slipping my tongue in her mouth then I pulled on her bottom lip. "These lips are amazing girl."

"Im sure they'll feel amazing somewhere else too."

"Oh for real?"

She nodded.

"Well let's find out." I climbed off of her and laid on my back. She grabbed my shaft and ran her tongue across the head, causing me to hiss.

This about to be a long night.

The Next Morning.

My eyes slowly opened as the sunlight beamed through the window. I looked down at a sleeping April. I kissed her forehead while grabbing her ass. She moaned and her eyes slowly opened.

"Good Morning." I smiled.

"How can somebody look so good as soon as they wake up?" She laughed and turned her head away from me. "Why did you let me drink so much?"

"Shit, that was all your idea."

"You could've still stopped me though."

"I had a good time."

"I'm sure you did." She sat up and kissed me. "Im about to get in the shower."

"You gone let this go to waste?" I gripped my morning wood.

Licking her lips, she walked to her night stand and grabbed another condom.

After ripping it open she climbed on top and slid the condom on me, then placed me at her opening and moved down. Her hand rested on my chest as her head tossed back. My hand gripped her waist.

"Shit April." I moaned.

She started riding me as I tongue kissed her neck. This sex was fucking amazing.

I couldn't have chose a better ways to fix things.
