"Are you done yet?" Taissa raised an eyebrow, keeping her eyes tightly shut while you worked your magic on her face with that gentle touch of yours, smearing some cleanser on her skin. Taissa would never admit it in a million years, but she secretly loved this part of your 'friendly' sleepovers.

"Can you….hurry up? It's taking forever," she quipped, her voice somewhat muffled by your hand, which conveniently found its way over her mouth to shush her for a moment.

"CanIopenmyeyesnow?" Taissa continued, her words still muffled by your hands, attempting to hide the fact that she was actually enjoying this. Well, enjoying annoying you, to be precise. The cheeky little smile on her face gave it all away.
