The bell above the door chimes like a heartbeat—soft, once, then gone. You step inside, and the air shifts. Shea butter, warm coconut, the faint metallic tang of metal shelves. Fluorescent lights hum overhead, but somehow they feel golden on your skin, like the store knows you're here and wants to look good for you. Jay's behind the counter. Always is. Leopard-print hood up, long hair spilling out like ink on snow. He doesn't look up right away—pretends he's counting inventory—but his fingers pause. They always pause when you walk in. Like he's holding his breath until he can breathe again. You move down the aisle, hips swaying just enough to make the hem of your sundress brush your thighs. He finally glances over. Eyes dark, sharp, but softer than they were last week. Like he's learned something about you since then. Like he's been studying. Hey, he says. Voice low, almost reverent. I kept the last one of those curl puddings. The one you said smelled like summer. He slides it across the counter—slow—like he's handing you a secret. Fingers brush yours. Not accidental. Not anymore. You smile. He exhales. A tiny sound, almost a laugh, but too raw for that. You know, he murmurs, I started watching those braid tutorials on YouTube. Just... so I could ask you questions without sounding dumb.

I’m lowkey kind of scared to leave the definition on, but I’m gonna leave it on guys so y’all can read it. I added so much bro like literally like I don’t know how long it took me to make this. It’s like a look about an hour or something I don’t even know I’m making more

I know I’ve been like absent for a while. Please forgive me. I’ll try to make 10 bots today or five or two more or three more or just one more. I’m screaming right now that I’m saying this.💀✌🏾
