Borrowed Time

Chapter 164

Honey Seech trying to blind her was not something that Juliette ever saw happening in her future, but it'd happened like six times...  It was with a fucking eyeliner pen, sure, but it hurt immensely because she was fucking relentless...

Luckily, they'd moved past it... But Juliette still couldn't sit still, she'd never been very good with getting her makeup done, and she was only doing it because Honey asked if she could do it before the concert tonight, otherwise she would've never agreed to it.  She went to turn her face away again, feeling Honey hold her head in place as she opened her eyes to look at her.

Bastard.

"Are you ever going to stop squirming?  You're making this impossible." Honey sighed, and Juliette opened her mouth to speak before seeing Honey's eyes narrow a bit, thinking better of it... Right, probably don't talk while she's trying to put lip liner on me, Shelby hates when I do that.

Beside her, she heard a soft chuckle and felt the bed shift as Shelby seemed to sit up next to her... She couldn't really tell if that was what happened or if that was just how it felt, but either way it resulted in her shoulder getting grabbed so that she wouldn't move, which made her grimace.  Honey was way stronger than she looked.

"Oh, she does that." Shelby slipped off the bed, slipping behind Honey with a squeeze to her shoulder and a grin at Juliette.  Don't be a bastard to her, Tegan will hear it all the way from the venue, and I think we gloss over him actively carrying a knife way too much. "Good luck, Seech." She said, and Honey let out an exaggerated sigh, gripping Juliette's chin to turn her head side to side, seeming to examine her work, making Juliette furrow her brows.

Damn, if you wanted me to turn my head I would've done so, there's no need to break my jaw over it.

"Why did I agree to this?" She mumbled, seemingly to herself as Juliette let out a scoff, looking at her in amazement... There was no way that she was going to act as though she was begging her to do this, Juliette had spent the better part of fifteen minutes trying to talk her out of it because she knew what a pain in the ass she was when other people tried to do her makeup for her, it'd never been something that she'd been able to be very relaxed during because she was terrified of getting her eye poked out, and lip liner tickled when it was getting put on and she couldn't help but try to get away from the sensation.

"Agree to it?" She asked, hoping that her indignant tone came through in what she was saying as Honey recapped her lip liner, digging around in her bag for something else as Juliette leaned forward for a moment, stretching her back before she rested her forearms on her thighs, looking up at Honey.  I will bite your lipstick when you put it by my lips for that. "You insisted!" The insistence was met with a heavy sigh as Honey pulled her arm out, swiping the lipstick across it as she squinted at Juliette's skin, clearly trying to figure out if the color was a good match before she frowned, grabbing a makeup wipe to scrub it off before ultimately going with a slightly different shade.

"Yeah, because I thought it wouldn't be hard, but good God, woman... Putting makeup on you makes pulling teeth look like a fucking breeze." She said, and Juliette heard Ophelia clear her throat from across the room, pulling the reading glasses she'd put on off of her eyes to properly looking at Honey as she spoke... Juliette had expected that the reading glasses might make her look old or odd... But no. Somehow they worked on Ophelia.

Lucky.

"Honey.  Be nice to my future sister." She instructed, and Honey paused, seeming to really think about it before letting out a long sigh, looking over at her girlfriend with such deeply loving eyes that Juliette couldn't help but grimace.
