Lani Pov
Some stupid ass bitch was in my salon popping her shit. Talking about she had Hazel and shit.
"You don't even look like her type" I roll my eyes still sitting in my chair
This bitch probably did fuck her because Hazel fuck any bitch with a pussy and a cute face. "We both got a fake fat ass! That's her type"
"Fake? Bitch my shit real" I wasn't bothered but hoes think because you get known a little you can't read a bitch.
"Yeah okay. You a stupid ass hoe. If I didn't fuck her then, how do I know she got a tattoo on her lower stomach" The little bitch say
"She's always naked! My mother knows she has a tattoo right there" I roll my eyes "please leave my shop"
"Or what" she jumped towards me
I don't really like to fight. I'm a cute chick and I don't have time for people to be giving me cuts and shit. Plus it's 2020 and pussy hoes always trying to press charges. I have a baby and a salon to run and I can't be in no damn jail cell!
I stood up "bitch come on and I'll fry them damn lips off with these flatiron" I had on heels and a short tight dress with no underwear. I mean don't judge a bitch but I was on some cute business woman stuff and I want my girlfriend to eat my pussy between her stupid ass meetings. So I wasn't really trying to fight this girl and all my business, literally, be all over the place.
She was escorted out and I grabbed my purse. I got in my car and pulled off.
I got to my moms house and she immediately started with her shit.
"Why is your booty so jiggly" my mama ask
I don't have underwear on! "I don't know. It's always like that"
"No you probably don't have anything underneath that dress. Now, why haven't I saw you in a while" She always says this
"Mommy I have a baby" Which is the truth "I be busy and between baby K and the salon. I barely have time for Hazel"
"I heard you had a nanny" she's my nanny. I don't know why she's being extra
"Mommy I do not have a nanny and always bring K over here with you" I say
"Only at night. I be tired" My mother say "I be tired and can barely interact with her how I would want to"
With Hazel's parents living so far it's important to me that I allow my mother to play a huge part in K'a life.
"You can get her whenever you want mommy. I promise we don't have a problem with you getting her" I say
"Well, where is she now" Mommy ask
"With Hazel" I say
"Why did you say her name like that" I try not to get my mother involved because my mother will always and forever take my side and I don't want her treating Hazel any different. Not saying she did anything.
I can give her a little something "she's in trouble right now"
"Seriously" my mama ask
"Yes but we'll talk about it later when I get home" I say "it's not really a big deal. I might just be being a little brat" throw my nosey mother off so she won't ask too many questions
"I love the woman before me. I hated that you didn't go off to college well you did cosmetology school but I mean like a four year university but I love this. You in a healthy relationship raising my beautiful granddaughter and you own your own salon and that's all you really wanted. Although you did some crazy ass shit and was one of the worst teenagers to raise I wouldn't change it" mommy say
"Aww" I hug her "I love you" I kiss her "but I wasn't a bad kid to raise"
It's always been my mother and I for as long as I can remember. My dad was sometimes in but mostly out. I don't really like to talk about it.
"You snuck out, came home high, and I'm glad you were gay so that you couldn't have brought a baby home so young" now my mom was trying it "but you know Kehlani is going to give you hell Nahleni"
I hate my real name! I make people think it's Nehlani or NahLani because Nahleni seems weird as fuck.
"Lani mommy" I say
"Lani child" Mommy say "your father reached out to me"
"Oh Lord" I roll my eyes already knowing my day was about to get so much worse "I don't have any money for anybody"
"Not money. He says you have a little sister and she's going through something" oh fuck no!
"We just got Hazels sister out the house" I say "we too young to be moving all these different people in our home"
"You mean too nasty" My mother correct. I mean if she knows then she knows
"I never talk to that man! Don't even have his number and y'all think I'm about to shelter someone else's child" I roll my eyes once again
The situation from the shop and now this. Hazel might have to throw some punches because I'm not in the mood.
My phone started ringing. Hazel was trying to FaceTime me.
I answered and made sure she could see my mother before she started with her reckless mouth. "Hey mama"
"Hello Hazel, how are you" my mama look into my phone
"Mama you don't have to be that close" she was trying to be so close to my phone. Reason I never FaceTime this lady
"She's okay" Hazel laugh "I'm good just trying to make your daughter happy and taking care of your granddaughter, how are you"
"That sounds good to me and just staying healthy child. I don't mean to pry but Lani mention that your in the hot seat" My mama say making me take the phone
"See! She didn't even know she was in trouble and you done ruined it" I roll my eyes
"Roll then again" My mama slap my shoulder a little
"I'm always in the hot seat, what have I done now" Hazel ask
"We gone talk. So, what did you need love" I ask
"I was going to cook dinner" Hazel say "and I was thinking a salad and then we can do ribs and something"
"We have no groceries at home" I say
"Walmart is opened" Hazel say
"Don't take my baby to Walmart" I scrunch my face up
My poor baby been battling an ear infection. She's barely been getting any sleep and the medicine the doctor gave us is wonderful but my baby still be in pain.
"I'm not stupid Lani. I sent my assistant with a whole list" Hazel say
"I want wine" I say "can you make that happen"
"I can make anything happen" Hazel say making me smack my lips
"Where's my baby" I ask
"She's in the back sleeping" Hazel showed me "she had an attitude"
"Why are you always doing stuff so she can get an attitude? What did you do" I don't care how many months my baby is. She will be treated like the princess she is
"She's a baby, how does she have an attitude" my mama ask
People always call us crazy when we say this but it's the truth. My baby has a funky attitude already "she throws her body and just fuss until she goes to sleep"
"Sounds like a damn character" my mama say
"I'm trying to see what Hazel did to her" I say
"I didn't do anything. I cut the car on and the sun was in her face and before I could let the visor down she started" Hazel say
I guess Hazel didn't do wrong "she'll be okay" and that's the truth "spoiled brat"
"What do you want with the meat" Hazel ask
"Mac & Cheese" I say "and I don't like the baked one that people do in the oven. It makes me sick"
"So you want out the box" Hazel ask
"Sure do" I don't care what nobody says. Baked Mac & Cheese is not it.
"I like ground beef in my Mac & Cheese" Hazel say
"What? No. That's too much meat" I don't know what the hell she thought this was
"Y'all have horrible taste" my mom walk out
"I tried it in college" Hazel shrug "it was hard out here"
"Yeah yeah. I'll be home in about two hours or a bit longer . I need to take my mother to the store and flatiron her hair" I say
"That's enough time for me to get my stuff together" Hazel say
"And make sure you put K in her crib with her lights" I say
"I know how to put my baby to sleep" Hazel say
"Bye darling" I hung up "Mama come on. Let's go ahead and go to the store"
"I need to get my pocketbook" She say
"I'm gone buy your groceries" I say
"Okay but I need to get my license because you always get pulled over" a bitch get pulled over one time and her and my mama got all the damn jokes.
"Yeah yeah. I'm waiting in the car" I say walking out
I turned the car on and let the windows down. It felt good outside. I put my shades on because it was a little too damn sunny.
My mother finally joined me in the car and got to fussing. "How many cars do you need"
"This is Hazels car" today I was in her G-Wagon because my two cars don't have gas and I was too cute today to be pumping some gas
"Oh" see she be talking too damn much and don't even be knowing
I pulled off and when we got to Walmart I looked at my mama "give me that handicap sticker boo"
She reached in her purse and gave to me and I put it in the window and got me a handicap park before we got out.
She got a basket and as soon as we started going down the aisle she was getting stuff that just looked nasty. "Mommy, why would you want fat free brownie mix"
"I'm getting older. It's hard to knock that weight off" My mama say
"It doesn't taste the same" I say "that junk is nasty"
"I'm eating it girl not you! Let me get what I want. That's why I don't like going to the store with you because all you do is judge and complain" I rolled my eyes because now I'm feeling like a child that was drug to the store
"Okay my bad. I'm going to go get some tampons so I'll be back" I say "don't be talking to people"
"Lani this is a public place" my mama say
"I don't care. People weird" I walk away
I went into the hygiene section and realized I'm looking snatched and I'm in Walmart.
I grabbed two boxes of tampons because Hazel always use all them and never replace them. We have a box of pads for emergency and I'm the only person that goes through emergencies.
I grabbed some body wash and was looking for my mother and guess what she was doing? Talking to someone.
I put my things in the basket "mommy" I didn't want to be rude but I didn't want to be here all day
She ignored me and kept talking to the lady. I walked off and decided to go get all her vegetables. When I got back she was still running her mouth! I walked back off and got her bread and a few snacks because they are by each other.
I just decided to get the whole cart and do the rest of the shopping. We got in line she started looking all in the basket "Lani I don't eat this"
"Mommy yes you do" I say
"I don't eat no Zebra cakes" Mommy say
"That's for me when I come over" I say
"Okay" Mommy say

I got home and Hazel did an amazing job. We don't gave a table but the bar was set up nice. "Right on time"
"It smells good" I comment
"You wore that for me" I was ready to bring up the bitch from the salon but I was taking my time. So I can be fully aware of her different body language.
"I just felt like being sexy" I say
We took a seat and started eating our salad "how was your day"
"It was good until some stupid bitch came into the salon talking about she fucked Hazel and all this shit" I say "and I didn't even get the bitch name"
"That's why I'm in the hot seat" Hazel raise her eyebrow
"Yes because which one of your hoes think it's okay to come to my shop like that? That's unprofessional as fuck" I say
"I don't have hoes therefore I don't know who it was" Hazel say
"That's why I'm not too mad because she was saying some ignorant shit" I say "but this is the second time"
"I took full blame the first time but this isn't me" Hazel say "at all"
I believed her. I know she didn't tell the bitch to come to my shop and she probably never even touched the little hood rat but still. I feel some type of way.
"I don't like that Hazel. Real talk. It makes me look ratchet and that kind of shit mess with my business" I say
"I can't stop people from spreading lies like that" Hazel say
"I know" I say looking down "that doesn't stop it from hurting any less"
"Let me make it up to you" Hazel say grabbing my elbow
"Nah let me eat first" I say
"Greedy ass always worried about some food" Hazel laugh
"You never cook for me so I have to enjoy this moment" I say
"True. Well let's have a date" Hazel say
"I love it" I say
Me and my baby just enjoyed our night together.
