"The only thing I want my daughter to have to put up with is extreme professionalism! Yes, I could've chosen a different client. I could have chosen a more perfect client. But I want this win on the books because Alex is messy. And I want my daughter to be able to be messy."

Perhaps it was too bold of him to draw her stubborn grip around the impromptu bouquet onto his sternum and hold it there for the rougher beat of iambic pentameter within his heart's cage to tremble through both stems and fingers. Though he ought only watch her expression to help determine what she thought of the gesture through his lashes which helped to shutter any striking surfaces of self-doubt, it was hard not to detect the heat from her face joining his in the space between them.

"Say anythin' bout it and I swear...ev'ry one here will get made known that you suppose'ldy wipe with wild flower bundles-" He warned, though the threat in his voice was far more tame than seriously considering the nasty rumor. Perhaps it was another attempt to curl the edges of her mouth upwards? At any rate, the thought curled his...up until she rolled up on her toes to peck his cheek, that is. With a bristle and an astonished expression, he felt his jaw parting in a slack best collected with a palm placed beneath the chin, though he managed to snap it shut on his own with a frustrated 'click' as he regarded the teasing nature of her expression.

"That really necessary, now?!" He huffed, feeling raised hackles lowering as he observed the content way she went about inspecting the bundle with inhales deep as the ones he'd issued in the crook of her neck when they'd drifted too close. The memory of it had him heated again, and the boysenberry color in his cheeks churned hot when she praised the act further than he thought it required. "S'not that deep-" He insisted, rubbing the back of his neck when she claimed the offering perfect...as if he'd done anything of the sort in his life before. A rub or two fell off to a quiet blink as she went further as to take hold of his elbows and tug him in to administer her next sort of judgement.

"What're you-" Birvor complained softly, a frown pinned in place with his tusks as he felt the warmth of her arm against the lash marks laid low against his back. For a moment, he felt a brief reprieve... as if everything that had happened to them so far was going to be all right despite all the set backs they'd encountered and the bumps in the road they'd stumbled upon. At her declaration, however, he found his face turning a ripe plum color as he shook his shoulders.

With a frustrated sigh, he relented for just a moment to wrap an arm about the lower bit of her back as he leaned down to offer her an uncertain stare. Her words were frustrating- he didn't expect any less. And yet they coaxed him to lean in and press their foreheads together for a moment, eyes half-lidded. "...'an if I did- what wouldja do?"

"I want a black coffee, please." Key Lime's ears perked up at the voice. She turned around to see a blue pegasus standing behind the counter. He was decored in ripped leather, studded piercings, and multicolored dyed hair, and had prominent bags under his eyes like he hadn't slept in days. Key Lime broke out in a red face and a nervous smile, her braces flashing through her mouth. "Oh Sopwith. You can have anything in this bakery that you want", she said as she leaned on the counter, in an attempt to catch his interest. "I want a black coffee please." Key Lime started to nervously laugh as Sopwith stared tiredly at her, blinking on occasion. She levitated a cup over to the coffee machine and turned it on. As the machine whirred, Key Lime turned back to Sopwith, her face still red and her mane falling down in front of her face. "So, um..any sugar in your coffee?" "No point", Sopwith huffed. "I like it black. It represents my soul." "Y-Yeah?" "The coffee is not for enjoyment. It's to give depressing fuel to the aggression felt in the pit of my body brought on by the universe. It's simply for my survival." Key Lime sighed, "That is so deep." What do you mean deep, she thought to herself. He probably just pulled all that out of his ass. sigh. Oh well, least he's still cute. "My suffering is deep." There was a small silence between the 2, with the exception of the machine seeping out coffee into a cup. "I..I like your new due." "Hmm?" Sopwith looked up at the recent black streak in his mane. "Thanks. I just got it yesterday. I never would've guessed Aunt Rarity knew so much about the image I was going for." "It looks good, it looks good." "Been thinking about getting another color to get rid of the pink. And maybe dye something on this", he then pointed to the yellow patch on his right eye. "Oh, I dunno...", Key Lime shrugged. "I think it all looks nice together...you know, like in an ironic sense." Sopwith raised an eyebrow. "Really?" "Well, yeah", Key Lime nervously continued. "You know..the blackness of the universe ant he red rage and then, bam! Pink. Like...like the ponies in the town, all alone in the black universe. A pink spot..in the...black..voidness. And..a random yellow spot in the blue..lik..ike the sea of..emptiness?" She looked back at Sopwith who was contemplating her words. And thus the pot became the kettle. "Wow", Sopwith spoke in awe. "That just made everything so clearer. It all meshes so perfectly." He looked at Key Lime, an almost awe in his eye. "Thank you." Key Lime smiled widely, her braces showing and her face suddenly got redder. "I-It's no trouble." The 2 were interrupted by a beep behind them from the machine. Sopwith's coffee was done. Key Lime then levitated a pink lid to top the cup, and gave it to Sopwith, who took it by the wing. "Pink lid...ironic.", Sopwith concluded as he drank the hot black liquid inside of it. He started to turn out the door before Key Lime hastily levitated  a bag and a pastry before calling out "SOPWITH!" Sopwith turned around to see a bag levitating in an aura of yellow magic. The unicorn behind it had her body turned shyly. "Um..here. On the house." "Uhhh, I dunno about all that sugar. That may be a little too ironic. And not exactly the healthiest thing for breakfast." He started to turn back around until- "It's a slice of pie." Sopwith's ears suddenly perked and his tired eyes went wide as his head whipped around. "...Pie?" Key Lime nodded as she turned her head around, "Your favorite flavor." Sopwith let out a breath of air and saliva started to form into his mouth. "Boysenberry", he whispered, almost excitedly. "I baked one with my mom this morning for display today and I figured you'd want a piece before the rush." Sopwith looked at the bag before back to Key Lime, and took the bag into his teeth. He looked at her and through the bag gave something that almost resembled a smile, something that became more and more rare by the day. He then turned back around and headed out the door. Key Lime looked back at where he had stood and sighed blissfully, a lovestruck smile forming across her face. "Until we meet again, my punk prince."

Ohhhh BOY XD We got teen pones this time around! Sopwith went through something of a punk phase as a teenager. Piercings, mane dyes, leather jackets, he debated about getting a tattoo at one point. Key Lime was something of a dork back then. She silently snarked at everyone, but it rarely showed through her braces and long face-hiding bang. Despite her better judgement, she found herself crushing pretty hard on punk Sopwith. Sopwith is too oblivious (and depressed) to notice. I think nautilus18 summed this relationship up best: Sopwith:”Why must the universe bear down on my soul?”

Key Lime:”I know right, it’s like a million parents screaming into your ear willyougooutwithme?”

Sopwith:”Huh, I couldn’t hear you over the sound of my depression.”

✨MAKEUP TIPS 2 hide PUFFY EYES✨ I have deep set eyes, dark circles, occasional puffiness, a few wrinkles, sensitive skin & now I noticed that 1 lid is droopier than the other. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Next time you're bummed about your eyes, just think of your good friend Alex & you'll feel better, I promise 😅 . . ______________ For under eye puffiness, here's what works for me: 1▪️Chilled black tea bags. Black tea has anti-irritant properties that help reduce swelling. 2▪️Cold spoons massage. The cold temperature helps tighten skin, constrict blood vessels & reduce puffiness. 3▪️Chilled eye drops. 4▪️DIY anti-puff serum: 1/4 cup sweet almond oil 5 drops each of: Rose, Frankincense, Thyme & Eucalyptus Apply in the morning as needed & AVOID getting it into your eyes. If you want to see ➡️ the DIY tutorial & learn about Lymphatic Drainage (which will really help reduce puffiness), the video is 2 posts down. 5▪️Apply foundation over the eyes. I used @coverfx #PowerPlay foundation “G30”. 6▪️Apply concealer only on the lines that make the bags stand out. @sephora Bright Future “03”. 7▪️Dust a subtle shimmer eyeshadow under the lower lashes to brighten the skin. Used @covergirl #KatyKat palette “Hot Kat” + Peacock Flare mascara. 8▪️Add some lashes to distract. @ardellbeauty Wispies. __________________ Other products used: @benefitcosmetics KA BROW “4” + HOOLA bronzer. @farsalicare Jelly Beam illuminator. @hourglasscosmetics Ambient Lighting Blush “Incandescent Electra”. @yslbeauty #tatouagecouture matte stain “17”. . . 🖐🏻🚫 Whatever you do, just don't line your waterline or lower lashes with a dark color, because that will make the bags stand out. __________________ Song 🎶: Mansionair - Hold Me Down (Boysenberry Edit). __________________ #sephora #coverfx #covergirl #IAmWhatIMakeUp #ArdellLashes #yslbeauty #skincare #benefitbrows #wakeupandmakeup #slave2beauty #girlsociety #beautyskin #makeuptips #makeupgirl #makeupinspiration #makeupvideo #glowingskin #flawlessskin #makeupinspo #amazingfashionclips #foreveryoung #transformation #puffyeyes #makeupclass #makeupclips #beautyvideo #videotutorial (at Hollywood, California)
