Brenda's POV
"You ready yet Squishy?" I called up the stairs. I heard him laughing as he came down stairs.
"Yeah, I'm ready B. Have you seen my phone?" He asked. I started laughing." What?"
"Look in your hand." I giggled. He looked in his hand and saw his hand. He literally smacked his forehead.
"Damn...That's bad." He laughed.
"Eh, don't worry 'bout it. I did it the other day with my head phones."I said. He laughed and grabbed my hand. We left and once we got to the mall, I pulled him into one of the stores. We split up, in the same store, and looked for bathing suits. I saw this adorable bikini that was green like Sam's eyes, and it actually fit, with out showing to much boob. I found two more similar to that one, just different colors. One was white and the other was black. I found Sam on the other side of the store, where the boys swim suits were. He had two pair across his shoulder and was looking at some more.
"Hey Sammy." I said, walking up beside him. He jumped slightly and I giggled.
"Hey B. Which should I get?" He asked holding up two pair of trunks. One was black with a green strip down the sides. The other one was green with a black strip down the sides.
"Does it really matter?" I asked.
"Yes, yes it does." He laughed."I think I'll just go with this one." He put the black one with the green strips back and put the other one over his shoulder. I laughed. I took his hand and pulled him towards the register. We paid for the stuff and then I dragged him to a few more stores.
"Hey, Squishy?" I asked while we were waiting in line to pay for our drinks.
"Yes, Darlin'?"
"Should I get a hair cut?" I asked. He looked at me for a minute, as if he was studying my facial expression and then he told me to turn around so he could see how long it is. I turned back around and he said,
"If you want to get it cut, you should."He answered.
"Really? You made me do all that, just to say that?"He whistled and looked away, but then looked at me out of the corner of his eye and winked at me." You just wanted to look at my butt, didn't you?"
"Maybe, maybe not." He said. He laughed when I playfully punched him in the arm.
"I'm gonna get it cut, just not short. Like, mid back." I answered. He told the dude what kind of drinks we wanted and he paid him. He picked mine and his up, carrying it with him.
"Yeah, that'll look good, as long as I can still braid it." He said childishly. I giggled and took my drink from him." Ya know, I should probably get mine cut too." He said. I nodded.
"Lets go now and get this over with." He pulled me along with him, swinging our arms as we walked. The salon was pretty much empty, and the women were sitting in chairs talking. They looked up at us when we walked in.
"Finally! We've been waiting for someone to come in! Are both of you getting you're hair done, or cut?"We nodded. Her and her friend sat us in seats that were close to each other. Sam, being the cute, yet annoying, boy he is, stuck his foot out from under neath the sheet and nudged my foot with his. We stopped kicking each other when the two ladies came back.
"My name is Melony, and her name is Mallory. We're twins." Melony said.
"I'm Brenda, and that's Squishy-I mean Sam." I laughed. They looked at me confused." That's my nick name for him."
"Oh, are you two together?"
"Yeah."
"You're cute together. We have a discount for couples." Mallory said.
"Seriously?" I asked. She nodded." Awesome."I grinned at Sam, who grinned back at me.
"So, what do you want me to do?" Melony, who was cutting my hair, asked.
"Can you cut it mid-back? It's way to long. Matter of fact, I'm actually sitting on it now." I said. I stood up slightly and pulled my hair out from under me. God, that sounds so weird.
"Of course, can I wash it first though? It's easier to cut long hair when it's wet." I nodded and walked over to the sink. She turned the water on and started rinsing my hair. After she washed it, she put a towel on my head and started scrubbing. Is it weird that it felt good?
"Your hair is so thick! And curly! I love it!" I laughed.
"Try living with it." I said."I get Sam to braid it for me like, every day." I said.
"He can braid hair?" She asked surprised.
"Yeah, really good. His mom taught him how to do it when he was younger since his dad wouldn't do it, and he's braided her hair and his little sister's hair ever since. And when his other little sister has enough hair to braid, he'll probably braid hers to." I laughed. He was already done with getting his hair cut, and now he was just admiring himself in the mirror. Boys, I thought, shaking my head. She took me back over to my chair and started cutting it.
"So, I saw that y'all are looking for a new employee." I said.
"Yeah, the last three were terrible." She laughed." Why?" She asked.
"Oh, I was wondering if I could get a job up here. I'm really good at styling hair and doing makeup." I answered.
"Hm, maybe. I'll get you an application-No, you no what? Since we own the place, I'm not gonna make you get fill that out. If I can see how good you're, then you're hired." I grinned.
"Wait, when do you want me to do it?" I asked. She shrugged, almost finished with my hair.
"Whenever you want, or can. How old are you?" She asked.
"I'm 17."
"That's good enough. Just see when you can come back, and we'll see." She dried my hair and combed it and she was done.
"Thanks! And I might come back later on today, or before we leave." I said, already getting my phone out.
"Okay! We close at like, 10 PM, which I know is late, but oh well." I laughed. After we paid them, we left. I started texting Marley.
Hey Marley, can you do me a quick favor? Well, it's not exactly quick.~Brenda
Sure, when? I'm on the way to get my hair and makeup done for Jake and I's date tonight.~Marley. Perfect timing.
That is like, legit perfect timing. What salon do you go to?~Brenda
Mallory and Melony's Salon, why?~ Marley
Awesome, Sam and I just left there! If I do a good job doing someone's hair and makeup, then I'll have a job here! Could you meet us here? You don't have to let me do it for you, but I'd love to do it.~Brenda
Sure, I'll be there in a few minutes.~Marley
Okay, thanks!~Brenda. I locked my phone and put it in Sam's pocket. I don't have any pockets. He's got my wallet as well.
"Let's sit here until Marley gets here, Babe." I said.
"Why?" I explained it to him and he agreed with me. A few minutes later, Marley ran up to us.
"Hey, you ready?" She asked.
"Most definitely." I grinned and pulled her into the salon.
"Melony, Mallory, I'm ready to do it!" I said happily. They laughed.
"Hey Marley, I didn't know you two knew her."
"Yeah, were all in glee club together."
"Oh, cool. I can't sing worth a shit." Melony said, Mallory agreed. I laughed.
"I'm alright." Sam's eye's widened.
"Alright my ass! You're an amazing singer!" He exclaimed. Marley agreed with him and high fived him.
"Thanks Sam."
"I'm the bad singer of the three of us."He said.
"Don't make me hit you again, Samuel. You know I will. Now, stop saying you can't sing. You're better than some of the other guys." I said. He just grinned. I did Marley's hair and makeup in less than thirty minutes, which surprised Melony and Mallory.
"You got the job!"
