Violet Ankamah's POV

"I wish. You. Would!" I yell.

Orion sighs.

"Come on princess. It's good!" Orion reasons.

I look at the small tub in his hands.

It looks tiny in his huge hands.

"My skin is fine!" I argue.

He rolls his eyes.

"Well it's about to get better, come here" he says, reaching for me.

I dodge at the last minute, intercepting him.

We left his parents house a couple of weeks ago, after staying for longer that we'd expected and now we're in his house having what he calls a 'self care' day.

He started it when he found out about me getting stressed at work and getting a fever.

Now we do it every week.

We eat a home cooked meal.

We watch some comedy movies or anime to compromise and we laze about all day.

No work for any of us.

And I'm fine with that.

It's good to decompress.

But why has this man added a 'mud mask' to the list?!

I've never used one and I'm not starting now.

"Violet, look at my skin. Do you not see how smooth and clear it is? That's cause I look after it. Now you're gonna do the same" he says, pointing to his face which is already covered in the mask.

I sigh, rolling my eyes.

"Absolutely not" I say stubbornly.

"Violet, if you do the mud mask, I will actually give you anything you want" he says.

That gets my attention and I look at him.

Regret instantly washes over his features.

"I'll do it" I say with a smirk.

I get off of his bed and I walk back into the bathroom, letting him follow.

"Rah, I can't come and kill myself" he mutters under his breath.

I wash my face and then he sits me on the counter top.

"Gimme your face" he says, opening the tub.

The black paste looks smooth and almost untouched.

He scoops some out and then gently rubs it on my forehead and nose, instructing me to close my eyes.

"If this has an opposing conclusion, and I get spots, I'll kill you in your sleep" I mutter.

He kisses my lips softly.

"I'll keep one eye open then" He responds.

In hardly any time, he's done.

It stings a little, but it's not so bad.

"Vi, there is something we need to discuss" Orion says.

I look up at him, putting the bag of chips down and giving him eye contact.

Both us us are mud masked up, waiting for them to dry and both of us are wearing one of his bathrobes.

"Mhm?" I ask.

He sighs and takes my hand.

"I want to talk about what happened over the weekend. At my parents house" he says.
