—— Buzz——- buzz——- buzz——-

Lani glanced over to her phone sitting on the edge of the vanity.

Mr. Haitani🫠🔫💕: Baby! 😭😭

Mr. Haitani🫠🔫💕: Laniiiiiiiiiiii!

"Ugh, What does he want? He knows I'm busy." She scoffs, rolling her eyes at the text messages that popped up across her screen.

Lani flips over the phone and continues, putting her makeup on. She tilts her head, swirling her brush back and forth over her eyelid. She layered the colors into her crease, making sure to perfectly blend out the purple eyeshadow.

"What lip should I do?" She thought to herself. "He said my sticky ass lip gloss pisses him off. So maybe I should do a matte? Hmm."

She opened her mouth slightly, applying her dark brown lip liner to the perimeter of her mouth. She filled in the corners on her top and bottom lip and mashed her lips together again and again for a nice ombré effect. She puckered her lips, gliding her pink Fenty butter gloss on top, completing the look.

"Well. He's just gonna have to be mad. This is way too cute." She smiles, closing the tube.

Lani tossed her hair to the side, shaking out her bouncy curls. She leaned forward towards the mirror and removed the roller from her newly cut bangs. She smoothed the right side of her hair behind her ear, pinning it with a pearl barrette. She shook her hair out, stood up, and adjusted the top of her baby pink houndstooth cropped blazer. She turned her back to the mirror making sure the matching skirt fit just right. It stopped just shy of covering her ass.

"Perfect."

Lani's phone vibrated again. She flips it back over and looks at Rans text.

Mr. Haitani🫠🔫💕:  911😭 I don't feel good.

"Is he fucking serious?!" She grabs her purse, stuffing a few things inside before storming out of the door.

"Ran. Why are you harassing Lani?" Rindou was cleaning his fingernails, reclining in a chair next to Ran's bed.

"Cuz why not? She's going on a date in a few. She should be just about finished getting dressed. I just wanna see her before she leaves." He smiles, dipping his thermometer into his hot tea. He walks around the bed, untying his hair and disheveling it a bit.

"Annd, you're okay with that?"

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be? If she likes it I love it, that's my motto."

"Ran. How can you be so nonchalant about it? It's been bothering me all night knowing Scarface is taking Nai out."

"Unh huh."

"Like when she told me the other day I just sat there grinding my teeth, pretending I was okay. But inside I was fuming."

"Oh no ———not fuming." Ran teases, wrapping himself in his robe. He gathers the condensation from the mug and flicks it on his forehead and neck. He reaches for the thermometer in the cup next to him and checks the temperature.

"Like every time I think we are getting somewhere, she says or does something to throw me off. It's frustrating. I never know where we stand and it's just————-. She tries to make it seem like she's all about me but jumps at the first chance to go out with someone else."
