Green Garden (Amor #1)

Movie Night #3.5 Excerpt

"I can't believe I let you talk me into this," Thor groaned as he entered the bathroom.

Yman looked back at him "Oh, come on. Be my test subject."

"You know, I can get Alvin. He's practically a human."

"You're not driving back home to get your dog. You will stay there and never come back."

"Is that an order?"

"No, that's what I feel you're going to do."

They both laughed.

"It's just a face mask. Come on."

Thor stepped forward. "What are the ingredients again?"

"Clay, apple cider vinegar, water and lavender oil."

"Like sculpting clay?"

Amara rolled her eyes, laughing. "Oh, my god. No. It'll pull the dirt and toxins out of your skin?"

Thor's eyes expanded."It's pulling shit out of my skin."

She looked up. "The disgusting stuff."

"I just came to watch a movie with you and now we're going through skin extraction." He said as he tied his hair in a ponytail.

"It will be rewarding afterwards."

Thor bent down to the sink's level and began wetting his face with warm water.

"Yes, open the pores."

"What's wrong with just facial soap and warm water?"

"Nothing. Masks are just a plus. It's like taking dietary supplements or vitamins."

"I guess."

Amara washed her hands with the liquid soap. She dipped in the bowl and took an amount with her fingers.

Thor groaned.

"Sorry, I don't have any gloves."

"it's not your hands. It's whats on them."

A laugh escaped.

"We share saliva. Hands on the face is not alarming."

Amara chuckled. "True."

He nosed the lavender. "It smells good."

"See. Lavender will relax you. Help you sleep."

"You planned on sleeping tonight?"

Her eyebrows arched. "Oh."

"You're putting it on my beard?"

"Your beard's covering your face. So yes. Your hair will be soft."

"Hmm."

"When this dries, you won't be able to move your face."

"Oh, Christ," Thor moved away.
