"Haircream."

"Haircream," Bambi lifted the unlabelled container towards Cherry's waiting hand.

"Unnamed essential oil."

"Unnamed. . ." Bambi starred blankly at the five identical vials in front of her. "Which one?"

"Which one?" Cherry repeated, her tone incredulous. She tightened her grip on Bambi's hair. "I've done this for you so many times and you dare ask me—"

"Ow, ow," Bambi pressed one palm to the side of her head. She grabbed a random bottle and shoved it into her best friend's hand. "You're going to rip my hair out from the roots. Calm down, it was just a question."

"If you're so picky, do it yourself," Cherry retorted and poured a handful of the bottle's contents into her palm. "You know how much I hate doing this."

Bambi leaned back in her chair, enjoying the feeling of the cool oil being massaged into her scalp. "Your hands are the best Cher. The things they do to me. . ."

"Shut up, Bambi."

"Why? I'm being serious."

Cherry dropped everything she held. A spray bottle, hair comb and bottle of unnamed essential oil collided forcefully with the wooden table. "I'm done. Can you get on with your life now?"

"Aw, Cherry. Why are you so cold to me?" Bambi got out of the chair, a mirror in her hand. She examined her friend's handiwork.  "You have hands of magic, babe."

"I found my phone amongst the dishes. No one can walk away from that with a smile."

"Oh," Bambi frowned and set down the mirror. "I don't even know how it got there. Sorry."

"We both know it's going to happen tomorrow and the day after, and the day after that until you die," Cherry headed to the kitchen to wash her hands. "When you finally send it to its watery grave, just by me a new one?"

"Yeah, sure Cher. Anything for you."

"Go take a bath, you reek of sweat and monday morning desperation."

Bambi laughed, the four large braids her hair had been woven into wobbling slightly. "Wanna join me?"

"I would," Cherry said and poked her head out of the kitchen. "But I don't want Derrick thinking I'm cheating on him with you again."

"It was just one time, Cherry!"

"You freaking stink, Bambs! And I don't enter showers with perverts."
