jeremiah nods, gaining clarity, he didn’t think he was looking for. “well, my darling, i truly am glad that you feel so at ease with me. that’s all i care about, really.” he has a smile hidden beneath his tone as he starts the tedious task of changing the bedsheets. she’s still on the bed so he politely motions for her to stand up, well continuing the conversation. “vacations call for braids. i was going to have someone do it. granted, i had no idea you’d be here.” jeremiah can’t believe that charlie got one over on him again, but this time venus had been in on it too. “the sand and chlorine in my hair? i absolutely hate the task of getting it all out— ugh, no.” he expresses his disdain for the consequences he might face if he doesn’t braid his hair up now.

VENUS CLAIMS ANOTHER seat, an office chair that is paired with a desk in the room. she watches as jeremiah takes initiative changing the sheets. good, she thinks. although it's something she has to do just about every week, she didn't want to do it on vacation. "in charlie and i's defense, i almost said no to the trip, but i got the whole 'you need a break for once' line." she scoffs with irony evident in her tone. venus stands momentarily so she could give jeremiah a kiss on the lips as a thank you for making up the bed. "you can freshen up. you've been at the beach and in the pool. it's a wonder how we didn't end up in the hot tub. i'll wait for you. have your hair supplies and compliments ready for me once you're done."

I thought you learned your lesson with the whole Stefan thing 🤭 VENUS: You know it wouldn't be good if I did so Idk who you're trying to convince VENUS: But rlly it's not that deep. Just thought someone walking in on me FTing my ex husband who just saw me in the tub and out the tub pre-towel is a little awks VENUS: Casual nudity in front of an ex is not normal and I can't have ppl thinking I'm not single 💅🏼
jeremiah makes the bed again, finding new sheets in one of the closets in the room. he hates wrinkles in anything, so he make sure to smooth out the sheets as he tugs each corner and pulls them over the mattress. once done, he shakes the duvet out and fluffs it so that when it falls onto the bed, it’s basically neat enough for them to comfortably climb into bed when they’re ready. he kisses her back, nodding. “i could use a quick shower, we’ll see about the hot tub tomorrow. i need to see you in more bikinis.” he smirks before disappearing into the bathroom, leaving the door slightly cracked open. fifteen minutes past and jeremiah exits the bathroom— a cloud of steam, surrounding him. he keep a towel tightly wrapped around his waist, carrying a handful of hair products with him. “that shower has wonderful water pressure.” the brief decompression from a long day felt great. jer feels like he needed that. want me to sit anywhere in particular?”
