Chapter 27

Saint Smith
As I drove Cassie to the nail salon a couple of blocks away from her house, I couldn't help but reflect on life. As if I didn't already fall for her, I was falling for this girl harder.

I only had a couple of girlfriends in my 19 years on this Earth but Cassie was by far the most easiest to talk to, the prettiest, and the one I had an outstanding connection with. Shit was wild.

I looked over at her and of course she was looking over at me. Her eyes had a sparkle in it, I've never seen before. She definitely changed from who she was from when I first moved back to this part of town.

In no time we pulled up to the Salon. I got out, waiting for Cassie. I held the door for her and let her walk in.

The smell in there was strong. I coughed a little letting the door close behind me as I walked in.

"Hi." Cassie spoke getting the nail lady's attention. "I'm gonna get a manicure and pedicure." She smiled politely.

"Okay, you sit here." The lady smiled, pointing to a chair for Cassie to sit in.

"This you boyfriend?" She asked her.

Cassie looked up at me nodding her head with a slight smile.

"Ooo he handsome!" She smiled, laughing a bit.

"He get manicure, pedicure too?" She asked.

Cassie looked up at me once again. "You should get one." She pleaded. "It'd be so cute."

I shrugged my shoulders. "Yeah I'll get one too."

In actuality, I was getting this shit done on the regular. Had to keep myself groomed and looking good 24/7. Especially cause I was fucking with Cassie now.

"Okay you sit." The lady smiled. I took a seat right next to Cassie. A different lady came over, sitting in front of me to start my manicure first.

Cassie always had me doing some shit I would've never done with anyone. She was like the girl I had but never had if that made sense.

I sat there for about 15 minutes before the lady finished. There wasn't much to do to my nails since they were already cut down and pulled of all dead skin.

But Cassie was getting all this extra stuff like tips and some type of gel on her shits.

"What color should I get?" She asked shifting her eyes to the two colors on the table.

"Get white. I wanna see that on you." I smiled.

She smiled back, nodding her head.

"Okay, you go over there." The lady that did my nails said, pointing to the chairs where they did pedicures.

I sat in the chair, kicking off my sneakers putting them to side. Then I took off my socks, sitting my feet on the towel on top of the footrest.

The lady came over to me putting hot water in the tub below me and all these extra salt rocks, soap, and lights and shit.

The water was hot as hell but I managed to keep my foot in while she scrubbed the other one.

Again, there wasn't much to do since my shits were previously exfoliated and cut down. I just did it for Cassie so she wouldn't feel alone.

Later on, she came over to me mesmerized by her nails. She traced her thumb over them maybe a dozen times before she sat next to me, turning on the back massage on the back of the chair.

"You like em?" She asked me as I watched her eyes light up.

"Those are fucking sexy." I smiled gassing her up. "They look good on you."
