Sinner

Chapter 69

*Joylce POV*

*English*

"We're finally here," Sidney shouts as she runs down the hot stone stair and into the scolding hot sand.

"Wow, she's really happy," Valentina says as she looks at her phone looking at blueprints for the set.

"Yeah, isn't she just adorable," I say as I smile watching my best friend ran to the towel that Ashton laid down.

The towel has a bunch of equipment for a bikini photo neatly placed on it.

Wait! We are doing a bikini photoshoot.

Ashton did mention that she wants people to model her swimsuit.

"Joylce, change into this, then go to Fathima and Esmee. They are going to do your hair and make-up." Ashton orders, handing me a swimsuit.

I walk into the bathroom and see Aashi there in her beautiful two-piece revealing swimsuit. She puts on a pair of hoops as she notices my existence.

Woah!

Why does Aashi look so good?

"Joylce! Can you help me put on this necklace? The latch is too small and I can't get the latch in the hole for the life of me!" Aashi whines handing me the necklace.

She's so cute when she acts like that.

I chuckle as I grab the necklace. I take a quick glance at her body and bite my lip.

Joylce focus!

"Turn around," I say looking into her eyes.

"Alright," she says as she spins around. I pull the warm latch and place the necklace on her neck.

"Thank you," she says.

"No problem," I say.

"I'll wait for you here, go change into your outfit," she says, showing me a sweet smile.

I nod my head and walk into an empty bath stall. Look at the bikini it looks like the one that I wore when I hooked up with Hyunjin.

I'm not wearing this.

I walk out of the stall and Aashi looks at me confused.

"What's wrong, you look sad," she says softly.

"Nothing," I say looking at her.

"You sure? You know you can tell me anything. We are friends," she says show off her trusting smile.

I sigh knowing that if I lied to her, it would break her trust. I look at her and then look down. My brain scrolls through all the possible outcomes for breaking her trust. I fully know a big reason why 8th Sin is so popular is due to our real and close friendship. I know that Sinners would catch on fast if any of the members were having a fight with each other.

I sigh before saying," it's a long story."

"I can make time for you," she quickly says as she sits on the counter.

"We should talk about it at home," I say trying to avoid all eye contact.

"Alright, big women," Aashi contagiously chuckles out.

I chuckle as we talk out of the bathroom and go to our spot. We noticed three boys and two girls that joined our picnic.

"Felix! Johnny! Lucas! Maddie! Jessica! What are you guys down here," Aashi asks, causing the five of them to look at Aashi.

"Ashton wanted Johnny, Lucas, and me to model for the male version of the swimsuits," Felix says, making Aashi and I nod our heads.

"Ashton invited us to hang out... Ashton isn't making us model," Maddie says making Jessica nod her head.

"Oh, Joylce! Did you not like the swimsuit," Ashton asks looking concerned.

"Something like that," I say simply.

"No big deal, here it's another outfit. I'll get Valentina to model this outfit since you guys wear similar things and are similar built." Ashton rambles cutely as she sews more flowers on Sidney's swimsuit.

How cute!

I giggle thinking about the conversation that Sidney and Ashton had.

*Joycle's imagination*

"Ashton! Ashton! Ashhhhh!" Sidney cutely shouts drawing attention to her.

"Yes, babe," Ashton says looking up from her tailoring another piece of clothing.

"Do I look pretty," Sidney asks as she rocks back and forth while holding some seashells.

"You look angelic," Ashton complimented.

"I want more flowers!" Sidney shouts cutely causing Ashton to show Sidney a motherly smile.

"Babe sit down here, I'll add more flowers on the ruffles," Ashton says, making Sidney quickly sit down in front of Ashton.

"Can we add pearls and shells to the ruffles," Sidney pleaded, looking at Ashton with her large puppy eyes.

"Of course babe. Try not to move babe, I don't want to hurt you," Ashton says as she gets out her fabric flowers and her bead kit.

"Okay," Sidney says cutely.

*Reality*

"Joylce! Joylce! Joylce! This bitch!" Esmee shouts as she waves her hand in front of my face.

Esmee snaps me into reality and I hmed in response.

"Finally, you have been zoning out for the last minute," Jessica says as I look at her Mac Book Pro, to see her color gradient. I noticed that she wasn't photoshopping Fathima's body.

That is nice.

"Sorry," I simply say.

"I got to change into my new fit. Do you want to go to the bathroom with me," Esmee asks?

"Sure," I say simply.
