OMNISCIENT
Same day

Dess pulled into the parking lot of the hair salon, turning off the car and getting out.

The girls got out next and Dess locked the door. They walked in the salon, being greeted with smiles and "heys."

"I know that's not Ms. Desiree" a loud voice could be heard across the shop.

"In the mf fleshhh" Dess popped her imaginary collar.

"When you get back sweetheart?" Ms. Rita asked signing the girls in.

"Thursday, I'm surprised Mia ain't tell you" Dess said knowing Mia told her everything.

"My grandson knows you back hm??" Ms.Rita smirked.

"Nope" she said popping the p then sitting in a chair.

Ms. Rita was Qhamir grandmother, she knew the girls since they were kids.

Everyone had respect for Ms. Rita since she helped everyone in the neighborhood from giving them jobs around her shops to teaching at the local elementary school.

She also threw the biggest block parties in Atlanta to help the homeless.

"Good his raggedy ass" Ms. Rita mumbled making everyone laugh.

"Saraiya you okay baby?" she asked patting Yaya's shoulder.

"Her and Tre got into at the gas station and she been mad ever since" Mia told her.

"Might as well tell everybody my social security" Yaya rolled her eyes.

Mia waved her off going to get her hair washed.

"But yea I'm just tired of him always fuc-frickin lying" Yaya truthfully answered.

"Maybe it's time to take a break from him and start loving yourself" Ms. Rita said in a questioning tone.

"I've been telling her, that's why I left and I feel 100x better" Dess added.

The rest of the shop gave Yaya advice and she actually stopped and listened instead of letting it go into one ear and out the other.

She promised herself that when she saw him again she would put her foot down.

For the next hour the girls chatted, ate, and laughed while getting their hair and nails done, paying before they left.

It was now nearing 8:30, so they headed back to Dess's house to get ready.
