While Dasia worked on her wig, Lily decided to take a shower. She stepped out of the room, and made her way towards the bathroom. She stopped at the utility closet and got a towel, and 2 washcloths. She went into the bathroom and turned the water on, stripping down. She hopped inside, and stayed inside for about 45 minutes enjoying the scorching hot water. Eventually she got out grabbing her towel, and wrapping it securely around her body. She grabbed her clothes off the floor and stepped out of the bathroom. She accidentally bumped into Rell.

"My bad Lil," he said while making sure she was balanced upright. "No it was my fault I wasn't paying attention," she replied in her soft voice. She looked up at Rell. He stood over her being 6'3. His light skin had many tattoos covering it, including on his face. You could tell he'd just had a fresh haircut, his beard was trimmed up nicely. All in all Rell was looking good, but that wasn't anything new.

Though Lily thought Rell was attractive, she would never voice her thoughts

Though Lily thought Rell was attractive, she would never voice her thoughts. For one he was Dasia's brother, and she knew her best friend would feel someway about it. And for two she didn't want to go there with him knowing what he was into. Rell was a drug dealer... She didn't want to get attached just for her to end up losing him to the streets, how she lost her daddy. And then there was the obvious one. She didn't even know if Rell saw her in that way. For all she knew, he thought of her as a little sister. She would not put herself out there to experience that kind of rejection.

He spoke, breaking her train of thought. "Nah it was my bad, I was looking down at my phone." he insisted. "Well then I guess it's both of our fault then," she replied smiling a little. "Well then I'm sorry for the both of us." he replied, also smiling.

"Alright, and I accept your apology on both of our behalves." She then realized she was still only standing in her towel, so she excused herself, and made her way to Dasia's room, while he made his way to his room down the basement.

"Damn bitch you was in that shower for an hour, probably ran all the hot water out" Dasia said jokingly. She was finishing up her wig. She could sew really fast. She had her phone plugged up to her speaker playing Miami by Nicki Minaj. Dasia's room was nice and neat. Her bed was up against her navy blue accent wall. She had a grey headboard with a grey comforter and white sheets, and pillows. Her decorative pillows were pink and grey. She had a white rug, a white dresser, and a flat screen tv hanging above it. She had lots of pictures hanging on her wall. It was a nice setup.

Lily rolled her eyes and put on her night clothes. She didn't wear any at home, but she always packed some when staying over someone else's house. She had on a silk light blue shirt, and a pair of black cotton pajama shorts. She sat down on Dasia's bed, redoing the top knot she put into her hair before she got in the shower. Dasia was going to do her hair the next day so it wouldn't be messed up. Once Dasia finished up her wig she placed the mannequin head and stand in her mini walk in closet. Lily sometimes woke up in the middle of the night thinking a demon was in the room when it was really just the mannequin head. Dasia knew she'd wake her up being extra so she just put it in her closet to save the trouble. She left out to take a shower, leaving Lily to scroll on her instagram feed to entertain herself. She rarely posted pictures, though she stayed posting on her instastory.
