"Mom? M-Mom?" Nini squints her eyes at the pixelated screen that barely revealed the two figures. "The connection is going bad again, I- I can barely hear you guys!".
Kourtney walks into their little one bedroom apartment with her keys in one hand and her bulky train case full of makeup that she lugged around on the other. She had just gotten done with a makeup gig and you could easily tell how drained she was.
"is that your moms?" Kourtney smiled brightly. Inattentively flinging off her fashionable fedora hat of many onto the living room couch, dropping her tools and nearly stumbling as she rushes over in front of the webcam to greet the two women.
"Hey ma-- where are they??". Kourtney frowned to see a closed window, but a beautiful screensaver of Nini and her moms that was taken from their last visit almost a year ago.
"I just had to end it, the connection there is really horrible." Nini cringed with the image of glitchy blobs in her mind. This time around she was able to talk to her moms for thirty minutes before it began to lag. To avoid international charges on her phone, their way of communication would be through a free messenger app.
"i figured. You're always shouting at the screen ." Kourtney exaggerated.
"I should just be grateful that I'm even able to talk to them." Nini reminded herself. It was already tough as it is to plan a call due to the major time difference they shared between the states and the Philippines, but the lack of reception made it all the more frustrating.
After putting her belongings away, Kourtney takes a glance at Nini who had her head down on the dining table and mumbling little side rants to herself. Sighing deeply, Kourtney heads into the linen closet to retrieve fresh sheets and a blanket. She walks over to their living room divan, and spreads the clean cotton fabric over it, allowing the material to lay perfectly flat. Not only did the couch provide comfort for guests to sit on, but it also served as Nini's little makeshift of a bed. It has been for the past 2 years. What originally started off as just Kourtney living on her own, Nini was in need of a place to crash. With the time and financial struggles, renting a new place was almost impossible for her.
