X me: Rachel tries to show Embry how she's doing her make up. (LOL)
”You’re going to poke your eye out.” Embry said, for what seemed to be the tenth time in the past two minutes. A silent groan escaped Rachel’s lips as she turned to Embry, her newly shaped brows raised. ”I think I know how to do my own mascara, Em.” She said nonchalantly before turning back to the mirror and carefully applying more to her eyelashes. Embry rolled his eyes and leaned back against the wall, tapping his fingers impatiently on his leg.
For a few moments, the room remained silent, that was until Embry began to snicker a little to himself. Rachel didn’t even turn to look at him, because she knew he would point out what he was laughing at anyway. Embry was weird like that, but it was a good kind, it saved her having to pester him for answers.
”Do all girls open their mouths when they try to poke their eyes out with this so called mascara stick?” He asked, rather smugly as Rachel let out another groan, only this one wasn’t silent, it was more like a heavy sigh.
”Come here.” She simply said, turning to look at him as she waggled her finger in his direction. Embry pushed himself off the wall but remained in one spot for the moment, eyeing her suspiciously. ”Look, I don’t want any of that on my face.” He said cautiously, waving his hand towards the bag of make up. Rachel let out a laugh and shook her head softly. ”As tempting as that is, I’m not going to make you look like a beauty queen.” She said, flashing an innocent smile. ”At least not today, I’m not.”
That seemed to win over Embry’s trust, seeing as he slowly shuffled towards her and sat down beside her, gingerly digging through the make up bag. He almost looked as if he felt awkward doing so, which made Rachel have to bite the inside of her cheek to stop herself from laughing.
”What in the world is this?” Embry asked, pulling out a eyelash curler with wide eyes. Rachel couldn’t help but laugh then, taking it out of his hand and moving it towards her eye. Before she could demonstrate what it was used for, Embry quickly snatched it away from her. ”Oh no, this thing would definitely poke your eye out.” He said quickly, looking at her with a stern expression.
”Oh please, give it here.” Rachel said, lunging at him to grab the eyelash curler. After a few moments of play fighting, Rachel’s whining and Embry pretending she beat him, Rachel finally showed Embry how it worked.
”That is so…” He trailed off, lost for words.
”Brilliant, wonderful, amazing?” Rachel pitched in before he could finish, her eyes sparkling.
”I was more thinking weird, crazy or dangerous.” Embry said teasingly with a smirk.
For the remainder of that morning, Embry continued to pull out numerous things from Rachel’s make up bag, which would follow with her showing him how they worked and what they did before finishing with Embry making a sarcastic remark about it and pulling another thing out.
This carried on until everything was out of her bag. Rachel did try to do Embry’s make up that day too, but after seeing how they worked, he said he would rather keep his eyes and face intact.
