the nail salon bell chimed as you, angela, and courtney all stepped out into the late afternoon, the sunlight casting over the store. angela immediately held her hands up, fanning her fingers like she was a movie star on a red carpet

"okay but look at this color" she said as the glossy red shimmered "tell me i dont look like i should be snapping at some poor man in a 90s rom com"

courtney laugh, stretching her hand out and wiggling her fingers "honestly same. i feel like i need to ruin someones life in the best possible way like 'ill take your boyfriend and your credit card'"

you were leaning against your car, watching them with a soft smile. you didnt even mind when angela waved her hand in your face like you might have missed them the first ten times

"they look gorgeous. the red suits you both so well. its like powerful but also kinda flirty" you said with a smile

angela lit up even more “you always say the nicest things”

you laughed, shaking your head “im just being honest”

courtney smirked at angelas expression but didnt comment while pulling her phone out “okay before the polish chips or i forget. photo shoot time. y/n youre on duty.”

you nodded, taking courtneys phone. courtney leaned against the wall with one hand up while angela started posing with exaggerated expressions. you adjusted angles and gave them directions like you had been born to hype them up

“angela tilt your chin up a little. yeah there you go. courtney show off both hands. not just one. perfect.” you snapped a few more “oh my god these are so good.”

angela leaned over your shoulder to peek at the screen “youre seriously too good at this. i should just hire you to be my personal photographer”

“not happening” courtney teased, taking her phone back to look at them “if anyones hiring y/n its me.”
