" Nah they played on that call! Niggas dead fouled him and the ref acting like he didn't see it!"
" If you look at the video Doo his body was turned and his face was looking the other way!"
" BULLSHIT! Where the replay? Pull it up! The ref turned his body literally at the same time he fouled em! Talking about he was turned the other fucking way!" The men in the shop engaged in their regular fuss about the NBA finals on the night before.
It was early afternoon and Doo's Barbershop was always the place to be for the fellas to get tightened up. The crowd was a bit extra today in the shop because today was the first block party of the summer.
Pulling into a smooth park out front of the barbershop Nikai cut off the engine to his gloss black new year Cadillac Escalade. Hopping out of the truck accompanied by all three of his older brothers, they were met with hey's, what's up, and daps from some of the guys hanging in front of the corner store next to Doo's shop and the older men playing chess in front of it.
While Jamari talked to the older man they knew as Fat Sam he saw the other older man named Teddy J struggling to find his next move so he could win.
Nikai dapped him up and took a look at the board and was able to help him get checkmate with what he thought was a simple move but Teddy didn't even think to put that on the board. He grabbed the King placed it in his hand and walked away making Teddy chuckle.
Walking into the shop he was met with the same energy. Daps and what's ups. Each of the brothers went to their designated barber chairs getting comfortable amongst the regular shop ruckus.
" What we doing today my guy?" Rod asked Nikai taking off his durag.
" Nothing crazy. Just clean me up on my taper and take some of this off the top. That's it." Rod nodded placing the wrapping tissue around his neck and the cape on afterward and immediately got to work. Kai always kept his style simple, a low cut ceaser with his waves and a taper on his sides and back.
Nikai grabbed his personal phone out of his pocket going to his and Cassidy's thread remembering to text her back. They were currently in another Connect 4 match and she wasn't gonna stop til she at least won one game compared to him winning 4 times already.
He smirked as he tapped the chip and saw " YOU WIN!" Come across his screen sending it off. Cass immediately texts him back " 🙄 I don't like you."
He sent her back two kissy faces and responded "Don't lie to yourself like that" " Especially when you weren't feeling that way the other night on our date"
He watched the three bubbles appear and disappear knowing he had her stuck but it was facts.
