F2F || Brooke and Laurel

@laureljanes​

Brooklyn glanced at herself in the mirror and smiled brightly. “I swear you never fail to make me look beautiful. This is it, this is the look I want for my photo shoot.” She said turning towards the girl. Brooke had a photoshoot coming up and she always liked having her make up done the day before, so if she wanted a different look she had time to fix it. “You think you can come with me to the shoot and recreate this? I will pay you time and half for traveling.”

Laurel would do almost anything for her favorite client, and she knew that Brooke loved her too but... time and a half for traveling? Laurel’s eyes lit up at the surreal proposition. In a normal world it would be the perfect opportunity to gain new clients interested in her aesthetician business, but how would be offer that without having to explain the under-the-table aspect of it. “Holy shit--I--” Laurel sat down, twiddling a makeup brush between her fingers. “I mean, yeah! But--don’t you have professional makeup artists that already work at the photoshoot?”

Why do I not even doubt that! You know he hangs off your words!!!

It’s not my fault that I’m such a convincing role model! You should keep him away from me, if you know what’s good for him.

I might just recruit him to be my esti associate as soon as he’s old enough. We don’t have a 401k plan but we know how to have a good time.

Yeah Bryant is too smart for his age. He knows what the pea’s look like and he will not be fooled lol. 

I bet if you put me in front of him I’ll tell a lie so convincing he’d have to eat his peas. He’ll be out here thinking it’s candy or something.

You joke but Bryant could use a big sister. Just saying. Yeah he loves the vegetable medley juice boxes so thats a plus but he doesn’t like peas now… 

You could always... just lie. A little white lie couldn’t hurt anybody.

So my two year old has declared war on peas today. The veggies he loved last week are now enemy number one and I don’t know if I should be scared or not. I gave him peas at lunch and he ran away terrified and returned wearing a bathrobe and strainer on his head…when I asked why he just looked at me and said “no pea” like he was on strike. So I guess we are going with Broccoli this week.

If Bryant’s on strike, I’m not ashamed to say I volunteer to be a ‘”scab” if it meant that you adopted me. There are so many recipes that incorporate veggies into a smoothie. My mom was actually ahead of the game when she did that during my childhood.
