For the next hour I sat next to her while she sipped on her rather large hot chocolate which was overly topped with whipped cream as she got through a shit tonne of magazines while getting her nails painted and a pedicure done.

"How long is your appointment going to take? I have to meet Alan at 2pm to go over-"

"I don't care Tony."

My mouth dropped open when she cut me off but before I could react, she was whisked away by someone to get her hair washed. So instead I scoffed in disbelief and sat there waiting for her to come back.

Like a fucking idiot. A very smartly dressed idiot.

Around ten minutes later I saw someone guide my soppy haired sister towards a chair in the area where they cut your hair. When she was finally alone I made my way over to her, sitting in the empty chair next to her.

In the mood I was in, if someone even tried to get me to move I wouldn't have had a proble

Letting out a sigh I ran a hand over my face before I turned to face him properly.

"I'm sorry-"

"Sorry? You're sorry ? Do you know how bad it looks to bring your personal problems to work, and in front of a whole room of clients? Not once in my fifteen years of managing this salon has this happened before."

If you're wondering, Alan did make up with his parents in the end. When they found out about Mia they came over and it was all quite emotional. Alan's father completely broke down and begged Alan to forgive him, which obviously he did. Alan loved his father.

"Tony where's Sarah?" Alan let out a scoff and took a seat on the couch while Tony rolled his eyes. "I don't give a fuck." My eyes widened and so did Tony's once he realised what just happened. "Oh shit."

"Tony!" He shook his head and looked at me with wide eyes. "Shit, oh! Shit, no sorry Ruth." I heard Alan chuckling to himself while watching Tony struggling to get his mouth under control. "You promised Tony! You only lasted about 5 minutes with thi
