Cornrows

Brianna POV

Breeze was watching T.V something she didn't think she would ever be doing again. Jack had holed up the equipment in the perdido beach

Newsroom and now was now re-running old shows, movies, and sports on three channels. Dekka plodded out of the bathroom in the house she

Shared with Taylor and me. The house itself was beautiful two stories with a huge spiraling staircase, a big screen HD t.v, and a huge pool in the

Back yard. With her dark hair hanging loosely from her bed she slumped down in front of my feet sitting on the brown carpet. Wait…

What was that again? Dekka was missing the usual cornrows her hair hanging down in small waves.

"Want me to do them," I asked. She looked up "it takes two hours" she replied intoning I was missing something important. Oh yeah there's a

Bunch of council shit…I mean stuff going on today.

Ah but she is forgetting something I am the breeze. "Fast hands, Dekka, really fast hands" she looked doubtful "OK" she relented," lay it on me"

I made quick work finishing in around two minutes. When I was done Dekka was as apathetic as ever. But I could see a slight twinge of disbelief

in her eyes. She pushed herself up, "thanks breeze" she said with a slight smile and she walked out to take the 45 min. drive to the town square.

I waited about 44 minutes and then went to meet her.
