"I wonder if the things that remind me of you, remind you of me"
_ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND_

SASHA

I'm locking up the store when I hear Penny's amused chatter with Brent. I turn to them, immediately knowing who they are talking about, "you know Brent I understand the need for Penny to love gossip so much. But, you? Not so much. One would think you're an old lady too."
Brent and Penny owned the stores either sides of my store while Brent owned a barber shop, Penny owned a flower shop.
Brent sticks out his tongue, "Why are you so affronted? It's not like you're the subject of our gossip."
I roll my eyes as I walk to my car across the street,
"Right"
Penny laughs as she puts away her display flowers, "Oh leave the poor boy alone. I was just commenting how you have been locking up the store faster than usual lately. And for your information, not all oldies love wagging their tongues"

"Name one old lady that doesn't gossip"

Pen waves her hand in the air, "I can name plenty thank you"

"Sure Pen" I chuckle humorously. The first time I met Penny I called her grandma Penny and she got furious, saying she looked young for her age and asked me not to disrespect her. So she makes everyone call her Penny or Pen for short.

"I told you Pen, she hasn't been able to snatch some unsuspecting Men lately." He wags his brows at me and I laugh. He is such a goof ball. Well he wasn't completely wrong, "Emphasis on the 'Men' didn't know you knew I've been in a mood for a threesome lately."
Penny gasps in mock horror, "Please restrain yourself child. You will really give me a heart attack one of these days."

I roll my eyes and open my car door, "Oh please you've heard worse from me. Look, Brent isn't even fazed anymore."

Brent shrugs and settles in the passenger's seat, "What can I say? I'm Sasha proof now."
I raise my brow at him," and who invited you for a ride?"
"Come on, just drop me off home. My aunt's dropping by."
"And I do not see what that has to do with me?"
"You're doing this because you love me."

We both say goodbye to Pen as I drive off and I snicker at Brent, "who gave you that idea?"

"Ouch. You're such a bitch" he says this but we're both in hysterics. I do love him though, which is why I'm glad he's gay. Because besides his good looks and great sense of humor, he's the greatest guy I've ever met, well besides my Dad that is.

"I'm telling you though if you agreed to one night with me. You'd go straight."

"Right. You know I think I shouldn't even consider taking you seriously right now. Your crazy is contagious."

I chuckle and smack his thigh after parking my car, "oh please you'd totally do me."

He chokes on his laughter after noticing that his Aunt was just outside the house and at seeing the expression on her face, "You know? I'm scared to be around you in public sometimes, because I feel like I have to keep your mouth closed for the safety of the society."

I cackle as he walks away and I wave as he blows me a kiss.

I need to get home to get changed so I can meet up with the girls. I need to do Polly's makeup for her bachelorette party. I honestly can't believe one of my closest friends is getting married. I'm really happy for her though. If Damon makes her happy then I'm good.
I get home and take a quick shower before picking out my clothes. I decide to go with an emerald green dress to compliment my skin. The dress clings to my curvy figure and a long lit on my right that starts at my thigh. I decide to go with gold jewelry and once I'm done with my makeup, I go to pick up Christy and Olive. Polly all but moved out ever since her trip to Hawaii. So I'm practically living on my own now. It doesn't suck but I do miss her.

    *******

I finish doing my friends' makeup and I'm honestly proud of myself they look great," this might get some of you laid tonight."

Olive scowls at me and I give her the biggest smile I can muster. "Don't frown so much honey, you'll get wrinkles."

"Your vagina probably has those already. It's gone through so much use I'm surprised it doesn't fall off."
"Well at least mine is being used. Unlike someone's, that has cobwebs hanging off it."

Christy shakes her head at us in disapproval, "You two are like a lion and a tiger going at each other's throats."
Polly nods while laughing hysterically, "Well at least they entertain us. As long as they don't actually kill each other."
I roll my eyes and start to fix my hair when Olive snatches the brush from me and starts doing it herself , I simply snicker and let her do it. I honestly have no idea why we fight so much. It's fun though, so I don't let up.

We hear a knock and watch as Damon walk in, he greets us but doesn't wait for a reply as he walks towards Polly. I noticed how when his eyes softened up when they landed on Polly and I feel some emotion in me swell. I wish I had what they had honestly. But with my personality that's not happening. I watch as he walks over to where she is and places a kiss to her fore head,

"mess up her makeup and you're dead"

He chuckles and raises his hands as a sign of surrender, "Yes Ma'am."

"I'm kind of disgusted at how little attention we get when we are around them." Olive says as she is done doing my hair.
"Right? It's like watching some private show. Get a room."
"Yeah, quit making us feel like extras."
We say this jokingly though. I've never seen Polly this happy. Like ever. And the fact that she decided on making me the godmother of her child makes me so happy. She just got out of the hospital two weeks ago and I don't remember ever crying that much in my life.
We make fun of Damon till we all get in the car and leave. I can tell we scare him shitless. Good. If he ever messes up, he knows who is backing up Polly. Once we get to the club, we watch as Damon gives Polly a possessive kiss and whispers something before he drives off.

Christy elbows Polly and asks, "What was that about"
Polly gives us a big smile before responding, "Just Damon being possessive again."

"You two sicken me. "Olive grunts.

"Aww you guys, don't be so bitter. you'll get one of these soon enough." She wiggles her fingers, showing off her beautiful engagement ring.
Me and Olive all answer at the same time," Never happening"

Christy and Polly chuckle as we walk into the club. Well my goal is to make sure Polly has a blast and to at least snag someone for the night. It'll be a win-win. What could go wrong?
