While he got dressed he turned his wallet on and checked his messages. Nothing…
Nox turned off the expectation of a response anytime soon and pulled up his notes he’d been working on, and grabbed his laptop from his bag that sat on his former bed with Lily in the window. Juls just put him back where he ‘belonged’. It hurt and made him smile at the same time.
He made himself at home at a table in the back rooms with his laptop. He did his normal routine of checking schedules and noted Raffe’s absence, and scheduled made sure that the bouncers were all set before he went on to his skit notes.
It wasn’t twenty minutes before Mandy shoved the laptop lid closed and sat down in his lap with a foundation brush and started applying. ”You can’t go out on the floor looking like you lost.”
”You should see the other guy.”
Juls laughed as she sat down in a chair and opened the laptop lid. ”You going to do this?”
Nox nodded and earned a tisk from Mandy ”Sit still.”
”You should inspire yourself with the hair. It’s a good look for you.”
Mandy clapped her hands. ”Yes. That’s what he needs. Pampering.”
Nox felt guilt rise up. He didn’t deserve this.
Mae was already in the other room with the make chairs and bright lights. Nox blinked. ”He’s feeling like shit.”
”Raffe was here first. And he deserves you guys more than I do.” Nox whispered.
”Hog wash. We love you both.” Mandy laughed,
