Cheers, Stares and Heart II
The atmosphere became quiet and chill as no one said anything. Miss Alice now concentrated on my hair. Neither could I see Ryle's face because my head was bent backwards. I thought about what he had going on in his head; Did he like me? Because hell I liked him already.
Minutes later, Miss Alice was done sectioning my hair and had applied the color I picked to the different sections meant for the lighter color. I had to wait for the color to set while she went on to attend to Ryle. He was there to get a haircut.
After Ryle's haircut was done, he looked even cuter, complimented by the casual wear he had on, he was so hot and I felt the heat transfer to me. I would never get the image out of my head in a long time and I hated how I already anticipated seeing him in sports wear.
Ryle walked back to where he seated before having his haircut. My throat went completely dry. What was he waiting for? "I want to be the first to see you in that gorgeous hairstyle," he answered like he read my mind. I eyed him and tilted my head backwards for Miss Alice to rinse off the dye. "I'll be back in a bit," he said and walked out the door.
"He's a good guy by the way," "How do you know that?" I asked her, feeling embarrassed, she was taking note of things. "I've known his family for years now. If he ever asks, say yes." She patted my shoulder as I got up from the shampoo basin.
When I looked at myself in the mirror after my hair had been dried and styled, I felt fly. The heat I felt returned when Ryle pushed the door open and walked. He had something in a bag which he walked over to me. "I got you something to eat." "A gentleman, huh?" "Pfft, I'm just in a very good mood today," he said as I took the bag from him.
"Miss Alice, I'd love to pay for this amazing job even though she doesn't deserve to look this beautiful" he eyed me. I was super hungry and had started digging into the food. He smiled and retorted "foodie eh?" I nodded and he grinned. Ryle was beautiful.
I declined his request to pay for my hair because mother was going to ask why she didn't get a debit. He understood and didn't insist on it but he tipped Miss Alice. I admired his generosity. " A gentleman with a big mouth." He coughed and put his phone in hands obviously for me to type in my digits. I typed my digits in and handed it back to him. He called immediately and took my phone the moment it rang.
"I will save it with something I prefer" he smirked and handed the phone back when he was done. "See you tomorrow Trace Bloom." My jaw dropped. He knew my last name? "See you tomorrow stalker." He didn't turn to look at me but I perceived he smiled. It was my best day ever!
I left Miss Alice's salon smiling. Surely, my night would be the sweetest.
My mom totally loved my hair when she saw it, she commended me for growing up to be smart and beautiful. I was her only child. She was single and had worked her ass out to give me the life any mother would envision for her child. I never asked about my father. My mother was enough and she also never brought him up.
My phone beeped immediately when I got in bed. I was going to check it anyway, because I anticipated a text from Ryle. I smiled when I saw the love emoji he attached to his name.
Ryle: Hey, pretty girl. Are you sure you still don't remember me?
Me: please remind me;)
Ryle: books. crashing. Ryle picking.
I laughed hard as I thought of it. I never paid attention to his face that day. I was in a hurry for an important class when he bumped into me and my books scattered on the floor.
Ryle: Are you there?
Me: yeah…
Ryle: You recall now?
Me: yeah.
Ryle: See you tomorrow, pretty girl.
Me: can't wait:-)
I turn off the phone and lay on my back. Was a relationship happening anytime soon? I blushed as I thought about it. I liked him and he's kept an eye on me for a while now, so why not?
The school's stadium was very rowdy as students walked in and took seats on the bleachers. The cheerleaders practiced as we waited for the basketballers to arrive. I couldn't wait to see Ryle.
Few minutes later, the first team walked in. I'm sure it wasn't Ryle's team because he wasn't amongst the boys that came out. We had team blue and team red. Team blue were out and were cheered for. My team of cheerleaders were going to be cheering for Ryle's team and I liked that.
When team red came out, I searched for Ryle. When our eyes met, he formed a heart with his hands and winked at me. My friend Jasmine noticed it and nudged me. "You'd better start spilling." "You gossip! I'll tell you all about it later. Focus now." She grinned and threw her hands in the air jumping and singing. She was happy for a story she wasn't yet sure of. I was happy too. I like Ryle and I know he likes me too.
Nice looking cheerleader 😍
