Lapidot (SIN) Dump

MUSE + mini rant

"So are we ready, Peridot?"

Peridot glared at her feet on the floor, burning to ask her, "Lapis, before I expose myself to you-"

"Yeah?"

"I need to ask, if you weren't totally desperate tonight for a model, would you still think I'm hot in a different context?"

Lapis pulled her head out of her canvas with an eyebrow raised and a grin, "Of Course I would. I mean yeah I'm dying for your cooperation here but what you have to realize that you are a complete catch girl, don't you ever forget it," Lapis reassures with a wink.

Peridot couldn't hide from her flushed state due to the bright lamp casting her well lit stature. Hearing Lapis come clean, stripped Peridot of her weariness and fear of exposing herself for all the wrong reasons. She knew better and now she knows even more, and with that knowing gave her a boost of confidence she never thought she had.

"When you're ready, Peridot," Lapis said gently with a warm smile.

Her nervous shakes turned to excited rumblings, Peridot began fumbling with the sash until the knot unraveled. With a few deep breaths, she felt her robe slip over each shoulder and welcomed the new air brushing her skin. Peridot didn't look at Lapis yet, but she felt Lapis' eyes watching. 

The windows of her clothing opened, in one quick move, her whole robe bunched up to cover her chest. Then she looked back at Lapis, who understood her muse' frustration and gave her an encouraging nod. It took everything out of her to throw the robe away onto the bed.

Peridot's eyes closed shut, feeling her breasts free from their silk imprisonments. Hoping to hear something, anything positive or negative, just a reaction to put the millions of thoughts roaming around in the poor girl's head.

"Wow." Lapis breathlessly replied.

"Wow, what Lapis?"

"Nothing um, just a bit of a surprise is all."

"Well don't have me assume the rest of the night away, what's so 'wow' about me right now?" Peridot regained some composure with her hands dug on her hips in demand of answers.

"They're just so perky, wow, and I would kill to have those nipples."

That commentary earned another smile, "Oh thanks. I guess."

"See? Nothing to worry about right?"

"Yeah it feels liberating, almost."

"Yeah almost, it will be completely liberating once you lose those shorts."

"My shorts?" Peridot's worries started to reel back filling her with slight anger, "But you said it's going to be like the Venus de Milo, last time I checked Alexandros of Antioch never carved her fucking vagina!"

"Yes Peridot, I am familiar, but as you can see I'm not a sculptor. Painting your blessing on this canvas won't work if I'm not physically seeing it."

"I-I don't know about this, Lazuli." Peridot confesses, "I mean I got uneasy showing you my bare chest, what makes you think—"

"And you're still doing a good job at that. What's showing a little more going to hurt?"

Lapis got up from behind the canvas which made Peridot fume from the neck up. She got a little defensive by covering her chest when Lapis made in contact with her personal space, and when she did Lapis got down on her knees in front of her.

Lapis was so close, Peridot could smell her shampoo. "Peridot I'm begging you. I don't like to half-ass when it comes to art, so believe me when I say that this isn't to shame you, this is to celebrate you. Once you'll see the finished product I'll swear you'll love it."
