It was still too early for me to head home so I looked up a decent nail salon.
I haven't gotten my nails done since..well shit I don't know. I used to get my nails done almost every two weeks but one week I wanted to give my natural nails a break then just didn't go back.
I was ready to be a bad bitch again though. I missed my acrylic nails and long booty braids that I used to rock before I met Tyrie. I hadn't really done them cuz he always talks about how much he loves my big fro.
Tyrie met me when I was going through a burnout and really wasn't feeling myself or my looks. I mean I've never had the highest confidence but I still did have my good moments. I would sit up in my room and take pictures in the mirror to show off my colorful nails and long braids that I did myself.
"Hurry up and pick a damn nail place before somebody snatch yo ass up. You're standing on the street corner like a hooker that only works mornings." I mumbled to myself as I went to google and choose the best nail salon near me and ordered my ride.
I really should have asked my dad to buy me a car cuz this Uber shit isn't for me. Speaking of my daddy I needed some money for school books, my student ID, and maybe some new clothes.
Daddy yo! 3:20
Pops: what demon child 3:21
Can I pwease have some money for some school stuff🥺 3:21
Pops: don't I already pay your tuition and help furnish your lil place with that boy? 3:23
..yes but this stuff is just for school like books and allat 3:24
Pops: I swear you and your mama are gonna bleed me dry
Cashapp: Pops❤️ just sent you $500
Thank you daddy. You're the best dad ever 😄
Pops: yea yea whatever
After I got my money I skipped my little happy go lucky ass to my ride. Soon we pulled up to Queen Nails. I'm really starting to think that there's a Queen Nails in every city and state.
I signed in relief and thanked God that it wasn't crowded in the shop. I always have bad luck in that area.
"What do you want today?" A lady asked from somewhere in the shop.
"Uh a full set and pedicure." I called out not knowing where the voice came from.
"Okay pick a color."
"Gel polish please." I would cost me extra but I wasn't trying to come back here in the next week cuz my polish chipped.
"Okay you can take the second seat for your pedicure."
Squirming over to the little pedicure seat I tried to avoid everyone else's conversation and didn't meet anyone's eye. I felt weird going here without someone I knew. I guess I'll have to act busy on my phone the whole time.
An hour and a half later
Hmm. Getting my nails done was actually a pleasant experience even though I was sweating pike crazy from anxiety. The nail tech was really nice and tried to keep up a smooth conversation with me. Plus her work was beautiful. I would for sure be coming back.

Romance"Why do you do that?" "Do what?" "Talk down on yourself. Every time you get frustrated with yourself you resort to talking bad about yourself." "Those are just the words I use." I mumbled irritated at the conversation. I didn't sign up to be judged...
