my girl

five

the next morning nervana got up early to go grab clothes from her house. she'd been meaning to keep some clothes at mirellas house so while she was home she packed a bag with around five to six outfits she could mix and match. as well as some comfortable clothes to sleep in.

when she arrived back to mirellas house she had just got out the shower.

"sorry! i thought you'd still be asleep." nervana closed the door before she saw anything.

"it's fine, come in." mirella laughed and pulled the door open. she was wearing her robe and her hair was dripping wet.

"hi." nervana looked down at her feet before she could noticed the blush on her cheeks.

"hi." mirella chuckled while walking back to her vanity.

"i finally bought some clothes over... im gonna get a small set of plastic drawers from walmart while we're out today." mirella smiled at her through the mirror.

"you can put it in my drawer for now if you want." she parted her hair into four sections before groaning in annoyance.

"god knows i do not feel like starting fresh on my hair today."

"i could do it." she rolled the sleeves up on her sweatshirt and stood behind mirellas chair.

"you think so?" mirella looked up at her and smiled

"i know so... you've had the same hair routine since 11th grade." mirella smiled and handed her the brush. nervana was careful and very meticulous while brushing her hair then brushing the product through.

"can i style it?" she asked while pumping mousse in her hand.

"sure... just make sure i look pretty." nervana smiled.

"you don't need my help to look pretty." mirella smiled at her through the mirror, watching as she carefully parted her hair across the middle. she pulled the piece into a ponytail and then a pretty messy bun. she also pulled out curls right at the front of mirellas face and by her ears.

"like it?" nervana asked while resting her chin on mirellas head. she just nodded softly. nervana continued on to accentuate some of the curls at the back, curling them around her fingers tightly before letting them drop. she also did that with the curls around her face.

"you know, i think i want you to do my hair everyday." nervana smiled at her through the mirror before going to wash her hands.

" i wouldn't mind... but i've got to show you how to do your hair at night sometime." mirella spun around and watched as nervana organized her clothes in the drawer.

"so, where are we going for brunch today?" she finally pulled her gaze from nervana and began picking out an outfit.

"it's actually at this new hotel on the beach.. you eat in the water." mirella turned to look at her with furrowed brows.

"isn't there a rule about not swimming after eating." nervana smiled

"yes, but you don't swim while eating.. the tables and chair are at low tide, so while you eat the waves splash on your legs." she hummed, intrigued.

"i feel bad for the workers, having to keep moving the tables when the tide changes." nervana picked out some khaki shorts instead of the pants she had on.

"yeah, the place is dumb expensive so i hope they get paid good... and i think there's only four tables with two chairs... it's not like an entire restaurant." mirella pulled down a white floral spaghetti strap dress.

"this okay?" nervana smiled and nodded.

"it's perfect." they got dressed and then headed off to the restaurant. the place was beautiful. the table center pieces were different tropical flowers. there was also string lights along the tented area, which casted enough shade for the sun to not be unbearable.

the menu also looked amazing. scallops benedict, mini fish tacos. fried fish and waffles, crab quiche, lobster deviled eggs. there was also the typical breakfast sweets. french toast, waffles and fruit pancakes.

"how did you find this place?" mirella asked with a gasp, still in disbelief at how nice this place was.

"instagram... i knew you'd love it." mirella smiled at the girl in front of her. her cheeks were rosy and she seemed nervous.

they ordered and then sat talking. mirella got a mimosa and the fried fish with waffles. nervana on the other hand got a different mimosa and the crab quiche with french toast and sausage.

"blake's birthday is this weekend, they are throwing a party at some beach house he rented out." mirella said while gazing at nervana.

"i'm only going if you go." the blond said, holding her gaze.

"i'm going." mirella was getting nervous under the gaze nervana pinned her in. what made her blush is when nervana noticed the effect she had on mirella. she smirked about it, finally making mirella turn her gaze away.
