Pixie Dust, Wednesday [4/20]

It just felt like a good day to chill and not do anything stressful, so Shelley pulled a chair over next to a low table of clearance sweaters and propped her feet up, sipped a fruity cocktail she had made from the goodies under the counter, and proceeded to work her way through a stack of fashion magazines.

"Love that," she said, flipping a page. "Oh, really love that." Flip. "Love LOVE that." Flip. "Holy cow, freaking love that." Flip...

Pixie Dust was opened for business.

No finals till Friday meant Caroline was due for a study break, aka shopping! She poked at a few of the sweaters on clearance, wondering if the island ever suffered summer cold snaps before getting a little distracted by the chatter at the counter and glancing that way. And then walking that way. Shh, she was easily drawn in.

"Okay, it's probably totally rude to eavesdrop but I kind of have to know what you're loving because if it's super hot, I might look good in it too and I'm missing my girls who usually help me with these things." Priorities, she had them.

Caroline's eyes grew wide at the picture. "Oh my God, shut up, I'm in love! Tell me there's more." Oh how she'd missed fashion. "I'll promise not to start a catfight over any of it if you tell me the store carries the line. Or at least, I won't smash your face in if I do."

"But then you wouldn't be pretty enough to wear it," Caroline pointed out helpfully. "No, I'd give you the pink. I'm feeling a little too punk for it these days."

"Shut your mouth, do not destroy your hair!" Caroline said, putting a stop to that line of thinking immediately. "You are far too cute and blonde to try and look like some stoner just to get attention. Please, that would just be sad."

"Seriously?" Caroline was a little jealous of the sheer volume. "You must use some amazing product. I admit, I'm turning green comparing curls." Not that Caroline's iron-induced waves weren't great, they just took a lot of effort.

Caroline couldn't help giving her hair a little glance in a reflective surface. "It's good today, right? Oh God, I sound about as deep as a kiddie pool. But hey, there's nothing wrong with knowing your attractive when you actually are, right?"

"Speaking of skin," Caroline said, taking the segue and running with it. "And the coverings for it, I am in dire need. I uh, ruined this guy's dress shirt last week and I kind of promised a replacement, only he's a giant and I don't know where to buy giant clothes." Jake would probably be thrilled to hear she was referring to him as a giant.

"Um," Caroline looked to the right, smirking a little as she tried to put this in words that weren't totally offensive. "I'd say it's proportional in a really enticing way. Oh, but he's not like, a Jack and the Beanstalk style giant. Just like, nearly seven feet tall sort of giant."

How did she explain that she'd seen him without shirts more often than she'd seen him in them? "Well, he's kind of a simple dresser, I guess. You know, the 'I'm too good for your fashion' t-shirt and jeans combo that makes me think he's probably seen pictures of male models doing the same and I should be on the watch for odd-colored flip flops."

"When he's shirtless," she said automatically. "No, seriously, if you saw him, you'd say the same thing, um, not that he needs anyone telling this to his face. But I guess just a really basic formal dress shirt is what I owe him." Anything else would probably be weird, right?

Caroline really needed not to not look so excited to share a hint of the story. But come on, it was required. "He saved me from being all drunk and disorderly, right? So, I thought it was a good idea to just rip the shirt right off of him when we got back to his room. Popped almost all the buttons. It was totally hot."

Well.

"Up until he gasped and acted like I'd totaled his car."

"Like I know. It was nice enough, but I think he'd never really been around a girl willing to ruin his clothes to get at his chest. Have you ever had that happen to you?" Because it would be nice to know she wasn't alone here.

They were awfully enviable puppies. Caroline glanced down at her own chest with dismay. "You were in photo shoots? Like as a model? That is so cool! Who did you wear?"

Oh, now that was just different and totally not what Caroline had expected. "So like, you did...erotic shoots?" Holy cow!

"Oh my God!" And now she had to give Shelley another once over. "I can so see it!" Totally the boobs. "Were you a pornstar?"

"Wow." Leave it to Shelley to get Caroline near speechless.

Not that it would last. "That actually makes sense. I mean the reason, not the noisy in bed part." Watch Caroline try to cover that by pulling out a shirt and holding it up to see if it looked giant enough to really be the size on the tag.
