Lapidot (SIN) Dump

OUCH

Or Lapis has a weird favor.
(2641 words)

Lapis has to admit she goofed from the very start. Pigeonholed inside a box left her with a drastic last resort. All depending on the positive acceptance of Peridot's kindness for her close friend in her hour of need. But it wasn't exactly an easy favor to be asked.

It was supposed to be a nice day playing catch up as Lapis goes in and out of the city on business respectively. At least Peridot seemed comfortable to Lapis at first, telling stories and sipping cheap hot teas.

Peridot was almost relaxed until Lapis asked her favor.

Peridot went wide eyed. Spat back in her tea and in her brief moment of embarrassment she pauses holding her cup at bay  between her lips allowing the steam to mask her flushed cheeks. Her mind collapses within itself like a dying star due to how unsure and confused Lapis had left her feeling this morning. It's a really odd thing to ask a person.

Peridot almost fumbled the mug of tea, but caught herself by placing it down more carefully on a nearby coaster. "Um. I'm sorry... you want me to do what, exactly?" Peridot raises an eyebrow and crossed her arms. Lapis couldn't have been more clear, Peridot understood what she asked the first time.

It could've been the thin shirt Peridot was wearing that almost gave her obliviousness away. Lapis only caught her friend's sudden discomfort, she wasn't exactly comfortable herself about asking a second time.

"My agent is taking on new projects like crazy, he's putting me on a plane tomorrow heading down south for a beachfront shoot. So I'll be in a bikini and I'll need to...you know... I usually go to a place downtown but they're booked 'til the weekend. Peridot, I'm coming to you with this bold request as friend asking you just this one time, will you wax my vagina?"

Hearing it again made Peridot's brain shut down and her body fume feeling a hike in temperature. Her fingers jittered and tapped the table in a cry to calm herself. Peridot consoles by taking a deep breath, "Gee, Lapis. I haven't seen you for two weeks and I'm already shavin— I MEAN — waving you off," Peridot saved. 

"This summer has been very good to me and after this I'll be all set to spend the rest of it with my closest friend," Lapis dropping hints almost made Peridot sigh in awe at how special she's feeling in the moment.

"Will you do it," Lapis asked bluntly with kind pleading eyes. Peridot stammers a bit before Lapis attempts to give her leeway, "I'll walk you through the whole thing and I already have everything in my car. I'd do it myself, but I don't have your steady hands."

Peridot almost cursed at herself for bragging about that skill she picked up engineering school. But still, her hands at the moment we're the furthest thing from stationed.

"And plus, self inflicted pain makes me pass out, so please Peridot, I have no one else to turn to," Lapis begs.

Peridot knows how bad her friend wants to succeed in the brutal world of modern modeling and it also saddens Peridot to see Lapis starve herself in such a way to achieve her dreams. Seeing her desperate to look the part only made her show sympathy in the end for her to say, "Okay, I'll do it. It will be... weird to see and touch your...(ahem) but I'll help you... help wax."

Lapis sprang out of her chair to wrap her arms around Peridot and press lips deep in her friend's cheek hard enough to express her undying gratitude.

"I don't deserve you..." Lapis whispered, Peridot picked up hints of underlying love in that statement causing her to look deep in her eyes for a moment, Peridot tenses up to hold the spark sprouting from her fluttering heart and from swimming in those gorgeous pools of blue.  "I'm going to go get the stuff!" Lapis let's her loose and went for the front door taking Peridot out of her trance.
