Naomi moved her wrist with exact precision, her dark eyes focused on the wide brush being tapped against skin, leaving behind a luminescent power that highlighted the woman's cheekbones. After a couple more taps, she took a step back to study her own work. "One more thing!" she declared, taking hold of a small, black bottle that read "All-nighter" and instructing the woman to close her eyes. Once done, Omi released a few sprays of the liquid over the entirety of the face before close it back up and setting it down on the counter beside her brushes. "All finished, my dear." She then swirled the chair around so that the customer could see herself in the vanity mirror, and was instantly met with a gasp of delight. "I'm a whole new person!" The make-up artist smiled, handing the woman back her purse. "Go out there and turn some heads!" she exclaimed while handing the woman her purse.

Once she'd gone, Omi quickly moved to clean up her station. That had been her last appointment for the day and all she wanted to do now was go home, take a hot shower and binge on Netflix. Maybe, if she managed to motivate herself enough, she'd hop over to Dee's and Gabe's place for dinner. In fact, she was almost certain Dee had already messaged her about it. And sure enough, when she finally got the chance to check her phone, there it was under a group chat. Setting her apron aside, Omi took a moment to respond and let Dee know that she'd be there sooner or later.

To: Mi Familia
MSG: You know you can always bribe me with good food.
MSG: Enta, if you get home early could you take out the trash, please n thank u

The messages were sent, one right after the other, before she put her phone away. It was mid-evening on a Thursday, so it was no surprise that the store was relatively empty. A complete contrast to how it'd been that morning. Of course, Omi was once again stuck with working the busier shift. "Headed home?" Cindy's voice came from behind her. Naomi twirled on her heels to face her while pulling her purse strap over her head and letting it rest on her shoulder. "That was the last appointment for today, so i'm free.". Cindy simply nods, picking up a stray brush from the ground. "Alright babe, go home and rest. And have fun tomorrow!" Omi simply responded with a thumbs-up and headed for the exit. "See you Monday!" Though she only needed the following day off, Naomi had decided to take a mini vacation. She was off from both her job for the next three days, which she hopes to utilize for spending some time with friends, and most importantly, her brother.

It'd been a long day for Gabriel to say the least. To start off, he hadn't slept much, though that had been 110% his fault, given that he had chosen to stay up to watch Criminal Minds. He'd probably gotten about five or so hours of sleep, which then led him to wake up late and not having time to make himself some coffee. He made it to work just in time, and the day had been more busy than usual. Thankfully, for the sake of his sanity, things began to wind down halfway through the day. Now it was time to head home, and as much as Gabe enjoyed his job, he also really enjoyed free time. He'd already asked for his Friday off and never worked on the weekends. Although, knowing the reputation that perceived his apartment, Gabe knew the peace wouldn't last long. Soon enough, someone would come to their door seeking good food.

Car keys in hand, Gabriel exited the building and settling into his car. Part of him wanted to go grocery shopping, but the other half screamed at him to just go home and enjoy what little peace and quiet he could before the guests began to show up. So he started the car, one hand resting on the steering wheel, as he read and responded to Deanna's message.

To: Dee <3
MSG: Whatever makes you smile, mi nena.

In all honesty, Gabe wasn't picky about food. He already knew Deanna could just as well, if not better than he could. Truthfully, he was just glad she was the one doing the cooking tonight. Before starting on his trek to the apartment, he decided to send out a couple more messages. Some were necessary, while others were just an excuse to talk to the person on the other side.

To: Omi
MSG: If/when you come over tonight, bring some dessert :)

To: Ash
MSG: Stop moping, I can feel it all the way from here.
MSG: btw have you seen my headphones.... I lost em again.

With the messages sent, Gabriel let his phone settle into the cup holder beside him, the tunes from it automatically connecting to his car radio, and took off towards what he called now his home, sweet home.
