"Let me measure your waist." I told my client, Sa'nye after grabbing the tape measure
I wrapped it a little bit above her hip bones to measure then started looking at the measurements
I was at her house, like I am with majority of my clients. I'm really working on getting a studio. Money isn't the issue, it's just the studios that I look at don't be big enough or not my style or they asking for too much for it. I wouldn't mind paying the prices if what they had to deliver was equal to how much they charging. Otherwise, it's ridiculous for me to pay for something and be unhappy with it
A dude walked in as I put the tape measure down since I had got her measurements and was about to tailor the skirt to fit her waist
"Hey, babe." He said to her, but was looking at me
Turning to grab the skirt, I shook my head at that. If I had a nigga I wish he would like for real
"Hey, baby." She said before I turned around. He was still looking at me even though he was giving her a kiss
That's weird.
"Ima be in the room." He told her before going there
"This is the skirt that you wanted right?" I asked her for clarification because I had three skirts on deck for her
"No, it was this one." She pointed at the black denim mini skirt
"Oh, that's on me." I said with a smile on my face like always, sometimes that always smiling stuff get annoying
"It's fine." She waved it off
I sat down and started to tailor the skirt to fit her since it would fit her thighs, but her waist was a bit bigger and we want her to be able to breathe right
"Okay, try this on. Tell me if it's too big or too small." I handed her the skirt. The whole time she just stood there, I woulda sat my happy ass done not gonna lie
"Okay." She nodded and walked to her bathroom
I took the time out to text some clients back with concerns or questions, some of them were thanking me and tagging me in their stories. It made my face glow and a smile form, I really love what I do
"It fits how I want it to." She came out the bathroom
"Okayyy." I smiled. We had already picked out the rest of the outfit for her so I started packing up to go
"Thank you, I couldn't think of no outfit for this concert." She thanked me
"You welcome, boo." I said, still packing up

"So since your hair not done I can't see you?" Maceon asked me over the phone. He had a lil attitude
"If my hair wasn't done... yes, but I'm getting it done right now." I said, truthfully. I was getting a sew-in for the concert my client was talking about, it was the concert Kobi wanted to go to
She said it was a Lil Baby concert, but it was really a Rod Wave concert. Lil Baby was just apart of the tour
"What you getting?" He asked
"A sew-in." I informed
"Okayyy, don't hurt em nie." He joked and we both laughed
"You are funnyyy." I dragged before my hairstylist came from the bathroom
"I'm finna go under the drier, I'll call you when I'm out dis bitch." I told him
She had washed my hair and was about to blow dry my hair. I liked that she offered wash and blow dry in her services because she's actually licensed
"Igh, call me." He said and I hung it on up
"Ouuu." She dragged, taking the white towel off of my head
She began to part my hair before she started to blow dry and brush through my hair. It was lowkey hot as hell, but I'm used to it now
A nice foundation of a braid down was what she did before sowing in my twenty-eight inch bundles. They were going to get a light curl
A notification went off on my phone from Apple Pay, Maceon had sent me money to cover my hair. I wasn't foreign to dudes giving me shit, but I just didn't know he liked that much. Also, he probably don't like me that much because guys I barely know have paid for things for
Dudes like to spend money on bad bitches and I'm one of those bad bitches
"Sweet Tooth" by City Girls played as Brit got my leave-out pin straight. "You finna look so cute, girl." She cooed
"Thanks, boo." I slightly smiled
"We can get some pictures if you not in a rush." She suggested, I nodded since I was in no rush. I had enough hours to get my hair done, dressed, and my makeup. She knew I had to go to the concert though and was trying to be mindful of it
My hair was finished and I Apple Pay-ed her the remaining balance, I paid a deposit
"Flip the hair." She instructed me to do as she recorded me with a ring light
I flipped my hair and was definitely giving face while doing it. "Ahhh, you look so gooddd." She hyped me up, snapping pictures while I smiled
Eventually, I left to make way to my makeup appointment. I love getting dolled up, for real. On my way there, I called Mace to thank him
"Maceee, thank you." I thanked him, looking at the road with my phone on my lap
"Ian tryna see yo elbow, I wanna see yo hair." He said, I playfully rolled my eyes then grabbed the phone with my left hand so I could drive with my right
"Damn." Was all he said before licking his lips at me. I cheesed because I knew I looked so good
He wasn't saying anything so I put the phone back down in my lap and turned up my music. "Onyx, nah. Lemme see again." He said
I shook my head and picking up the phone to show him again. "You going to watch me drive." I told him then set my phone up
"Type shit, type shit." He said
I arrived at my MUA's house; I talked his ear off the whole ride about how excited I was because a bitch really was excited to have floor seats to Rod
Clicking my seatbelt, I muted my phone before getting all of my stuff and going inside
"Heyyy." Ari greeted me
"Heyy." I waved, putting in one AirPod so I could hear what Mace background was talking about. He was his homeboys wasn't even talking to them
Ari prepped my face then started doing my makeup, I would occasionally look down at my phone when she was grabbing something
"You so pretty." I heard from Mace in my AirPod, making me blush. I'm really starting to like dude
"Who the hell you calling pretty?" I heard his homeboy say
I quickly thanked him and turned my camera off because no. Y'all don't need to know who he calling pretty
"Get you some business, Bj." Mace laughed at him
"Ima find out." His homeboy said confidently, I shook my head
"This soft glam is finna be so tea." Ari squealed
"No like for real." I agreed, it always does
Hali called me. "Holdon." I told him and answered her call
"Bruh, I gotta go to the mall and find a shirt because they said it was gon be here TODAY and the shit nowhere to be found. Justin is finna take me, but it's like bruh." She complained
"What company? Dispute the charge, lying asses." I rolled my eyes
"Oh, I just did that and got my one-ten back." She said and I furrowed my eyebrows
"You paid a hundred and ten dollars for that shirt?" I asked
"Mhm." She nodded
"Chile, that was a scam if it wasn't designer. You just better be ready when I come pick you up." I warned
"I willll." She dragged
"Come on! Ion got all day, Mahalia." Justin said in the background
"I'm cominggg." She said
"Ima call you when I'm ready." She told me and hung up
I cut on some music from my Apple Music playlist and pressed the power off button on my phone
My makeup was finished and I paid in cash since those were her rules, I tipped as well then headed to my parents house to get ready and things like that.

"Take my pictures." I handed my phone to Amina
I fixed my watch and purse in my hand then started posing as she snapped them. "Lemme see." I reached for my phone back
Looking through the fifteen plus pictures, I picked out one I liked
liked by kob1loveee and 45,679 others
justoni Damn.

We hit a turn and entered the arena of the show. We scanned our tickets and since we had floor seats, we got a wrist band then walked down to the floor
Knowing us, we arrived late, but it was a Rod Wave and Friends concert. He had NoCap and Lil Baby with him
NoCap was just starting to perform "Head Doctor" so we had made it just in time. NoCap light self looked good in person
"Fuck the money, car, clothes, and the hoes. I just want your heart." I sung, looking up at him as he held on the mic
When you leave, I be wantin' to know the distance, I hope you ain't far
Tryna buy you everything 'cause I'm guilty, you said that money can't buy scars
And if you needed me, I promise, I'll be around
I was waiting on my part to come whole time though
"In the cell I'm missing you, but you keep asking 'bout my case." I sung with my arm on Hali's shoulder since we didn't sit down yet
"BUT GIRL YOU GON' DIE, YOU GIVE MY PUSSY AWAY!" The whole Arena sung loud, loud as hell
"Ghetto Angels" was next and I rapped the whole song through and through like I had all the dead homies in the world. I liked his songs
"Vaccine" by him played, my sisters and best friends lip-synced it while I just recorded myself. I'm really obsessed with my face
When "Thang For You" came on and he brung out Rylo, that's when I was really singing my heart out
"Wondering where you been, who you been with?" I sung Rylo's part
Lil Baby came out shortly after, I cheesed because he's apart of my top three male rappers. Rod Wave holds number one though, he just too relatable
"Heyy, everybody lit can't pull that fye out!" Everyone rapped since that was the first song played
"Soon as it pop, boy pull that fye out"
This her first time comin' to my house (Hey-hey-hey, hey-hey-hey)
Hey (Hey-hey-hey)
Better go hard, girl, this your try-outs (Hey-hey-hey, hey-hey-hey)
Hey (Hey-hey-hey)
"Freestyle" was up next. "Shout out my label that's me!" Everybody exclaimed
I'm in this bitch with TB
I'm in this bitch with 4 Trey
I just poured up me a eight
Real nigga all in my face
Five hunnid racks in my safe
Five hunnid racks to the plug
A few more of his songs got played before who we really wanted to see came out. He entered from below, kinda like levitating. Everyone got excited and things like that
He opened with "Fight The Feeling". "Okay, women. How'd you get so good at hiding your feelings?" He rapped and the whole stadium rapped along
"Pretending..."
"Pretending you're fine, when really you're bending." I sung enthusiastically because this is one of my favorite songs by him
You can't keep patching up your pain taking shots at the bar
Know exactly how you feel, I know what's in your heart
Young nigga came a long way with so many scars
Finally found a brighter day from being lost in the dark
"But she don't wanna hear that, oh noooo." Hali sung all on me, I just laughed at her because I know good and damn well she ain't tore up already
"Play something that's feeling right, oh nooo"
She tryna get lit tonight (oh, no)
Get lost in the city lights (oh, no)
Her heart still broken, but she's in denial
She need her grandmama to watch her child
Her makeup covers up her broken smile
You're livin' on lies, hurtin' inside but she's outside
"So get ya hair done, put ya clothes on, tell the Dj to play your song!" I exclaimed
"Tryna fight the feeling..."
Tryna fight the feeling, but she never finished healing
Now you in the middle of the club, tryin' not to cry to a love song
Amina and Kobi sung the chorus the most, then the next song came up which was "Don't Forget"
Pimp C interview is my favorite part of the song so I said the whole thing before the beat dropped
And don't you ever get it twisted
Youngin' come straight from out the trenches
If you can't feel my pain (my pain)
Well, this ain't for you anyways (anyways)
"Bottom boy survival, hard time living!" Kobi and Amina sung aloud
"Ima make sure you don't forgetttt it"
At the concert, they played all my favorite songs by him and some new ones but they was also good. I gave like two dudes my Instagram and actually followed back because they was fine, really fine. Also, got a lil tipsy and we ate at this Jamaican restaurant
