Shea lifts her head from Peppermints stomach to the shining sun hitting the both of them. Peppermint still soundly snoring Shea decides to check her phone coming across a text reminding her that tonight is Sasha's art show. Shea lifts her eyes to the ceiling thinking whether if she should attend or not then looks to Peppermint a smile forming across her face, "Hey Pep." Shea whispers gently coaxing Peppermint awake. Peppermint lifts her head startled her eyes being suddenly exposed to sunlight, "Do you wanna go to Sasha's art show with my tonight?" Peppermint groans then rolls over on her side shielding herself from the sun, "Make some food then we'll talk about it." Peppermint groans before lightly snoring once again. Shea shrugs her shoulders, and stands up shuffling towards the kitchen with tired eyes. Of course it doesn't look like a soul has touched it since Peppermint's moved in. Shea wouldn't be surprised if Peppermint hasn't used it for any heavy cooking looking back on her memories of  them ordering take out together most nights while hanging out. Shea pulls out a pan making a loud clank against the stove the sound shutters throughout the room of course it doesn't disturb Peppermint from her deep slumber. She cracks a few eggs, and begins whisking them together after deciding to play some upbeat music from her phone. She dances around the kitchen while buttering the toast. Reveling in actually having full access to a working kitchen. 


Shea carries both plates into the open living room the sun still at it's highest peak shining on Peppermints back her face pressed against the couch. Shea chuckles before gently shaking Peppermint again, "Food." Peppermint instantly sits up looking down at the well organized plate in front of her, "You're amazing." Both girls begin eating the food in front of them with only the sound of metal utensils clinking against the plates, and a fan still spinning in the corner of the room. Shea puts her empty plate down being already done, and decides to have a wake and bake, "So the art show you up for it? You can be my hot date." Shea winks before lighting up a newly rolled blunt. Peppermint smiles with a mouth full of food sleepily nodding her head, "Duh." She expresses after swallowing the last bit of food that was left on her plate, "Gimme." Peppermint slides on the floor closely to Shea lighting the blunt Shea took from her last night, "We can get ready together here?" Peppermint recommends as she inhales a large cloud of smoke coughing it up. Shea laughs as she takes another hit letting the smoke slowly drift from her lips, "Have anything I could borrow?" Shea asks with questioning eyes, "Always." Peppermint furrows her brows with a smirk, "Something hot though." Shea expresses while waggling her brows, "Alwayyys." Peppermint drawls out waggling her eye brows in return. Both girls lay on the hard wood floor next to each other filling the room with smoke along with the mixture of incense burning in the corner of the room. Sharing moments like these are what Shea loves most about being friends with Peppermint. It never has to be exciting or crazy all they ever have to do is chill together, and that would be more than enough for the both of them.  


"You sure I look ok?" Shea lets out an exasperating sigh while staring at herself in the full length mirror displayed against Peppermints bedroom wall, "More than amazing trust me." Peppermint smiles as she pulls at her hair with a comb. Shea continues to pull and tug as the tight short navy blue dress that as currently hugging every curve of her body, "With your skin tone? You look mesmerizing...and that ass?" Peppermint smiles at she clips a necklace on her neck, "You're too good to me." Shea whispers before kissing Peppermints cheek and hugging her tightly, "I try." Peppermint blushes as both girls pull on their heels, "If you don't hit it off with your girl toy we can go drinking afterwards how does that sound?" Shea smiles as relief hits her like a wave. They both exit the apartment entering the dim light Peppermint locks her front door behind her.


Sasha stands in the large room her paintings filling every corner in neat rows with nothing, but nervousness making her hands shake. She smooths out her black pencil skirt as people slowly fill the room she kisses, and hugs acquaintances and colleagues as they swarm the space filling it slowly. Her eyes meet Shea's as she walks in with a friend following closely behind her a hand bag resting gently on her hip, "I'm glad you could make it." Sasha smiles before kissing each of Shea's cheeks gently Shea does the same, "Glad I could be here." Sasha looks to Shea for an introduction with her friend who's currently looking at the paintings that flooded the large white room being the only colors that illuminated it, "Oh uhm this is Peppermint. Peppermint this is Sasha." Peppermint gently smiles before warmly shaking Sasha's hand, "Nice to meet you dear." Peppermint nods her head before walking around the room leaving Shea to converse with Sasha, "They look beautiful." Shea whispers as she looks at the few paintings that were showing already behind them. Sasha turns around to look as well, "My favorites are back there." Sasha smiles, "I'd go with, but I have more guests to occupy." Sasha gently motions to the door where a few extra bodies entered. Shea nervously nods her head before walking towards Peppermint she looks up at the paintings her mouth becomes a-gap, "These kind of look like you." Shea steps forward still in shock, "I-I think they are Pep." Peppermints eyes sparkle at the vast detail. Shea lays her hands on her chest with her opposite forearm underneath her elbow, "Need more inspiration?" Peppermint whispers into Shea's ear. 

Shea, and Peppermint decide to stick around till the room was cleared all of the girls conversed while Sasha took her two remaining paintings down, "C-can I buy that?" Peppermint smiles as she points down at the large painting resting in Sasha's hands, "You can have it." Sasha chuckles as she hands it to Peppermint, "I've been telling her for months to decorate, and finally she does." Peppermint glares at Shea as she gently caresses Peppermints cheek with a large smile displayed across her face followed by the both of them laughing, "Do you wanna go drinking with us?" Shea asks with a sincere smile. Sasha shakes her head, "I'm not really much of a drinker." Sasha smiles, "Smoker?" Peppermint chimes in after placing a painting into her car. Sasha thinks about it for a second, "I mean- sure it's been a while though." Sasha says with a questioning expression, "Back at your place or my place?" Peppermint asks using her thumbs as directions, "Uh my place."
