"Okay now on the count of three, blow it at the camera. And try and look happy while you're doing it." Evelyn positioned the camera close to Aaliyah's face and took a quick shot to check the lighting. "Alright look right in the camera and one, two three . . . "
She laughed as she blew the glitter at the camera, the little flakes sparkling vibrantly againt the light
Evelyn looked down at her camera and grinned brightly. "Alright, that one I'm going to have to edit before I can show you, but trust me, it'll look brilliant." She looked around, noting the setting sun. "Alright the lighting is absolutely perfect right now, so turn around and walk slowly away from me and I'll tell you when to stop."
"Only if you let me take a photo of you after" she replied, getting up slowly
Evelyn considered it. "Fine. But you have to promise to be careful and to wear the camera strap."
(i gtg for the night)
(hello?)
(hi)
(I think it was your turn)
Evelyn considered it. "Fine. But you have to promise to be careful and to wear the camera strap."
She smiled and nodded her head, psoing as best she could.
Evelyn smiled and took a few pictures, then handed over the camera. She put the strap around Aaliyah's head, acting begrudged.
"Fine…" she sighed, locking eyes with her as she removed the strap from her neck. "You are protective over that camera." she muttred
"You can still take pictures," she said, her smile back. "It's just expensive and I don't exactly have the means to replace it."
"Nah, it's fine" she replied
Evelyn shoved it in her hands. "Please?"
"Fine. One" she replied. She took the camera in her hands and told Evelyn to face the sun and look up, creating a gorgeous halo around her hair
Evelyn did as she was told, smiling, and waited for Aaliyah.
Aaliyah snapped one perfect photograph before calling out to Evelyn to say she was done, "Is it ok?" she asked as Evelyn came closer
Evelyn looked over the photograph. The lighting and the angle were both surprisingly good. "It's really good!" she said, turning her head to smile at Aaliyah. "Good job."
"Thank you" she replied, mock bowing
(is it cool if I do a slight time skip? just like 20-30 minutes)
(Yeah!)
"You're very welcome," Evelyn said, laughing a little. She continued to take pictures of Aaliyah as the sun set and she lost her light. Evelyn tried using her phone flashlight to provide lighting, which worked just as well as you would expect. Evelyn flopped on to her back on the grass and gasped. She sat up and gently hit Aaliyah's leg repeatedly. "Look! Stars!"
"That's what's in the galaxy!" she joked, slipping onto the ground next to her. "The stars make your eyes sparkle" she hummed, shifting so she was facing her
Evelyn smiled, almost blushing, then turned to Aaliyah, leaned in close, and whispered, "Gay."
"Truely I am" she replied, their noses almost touching
"What's your favorite constellation?" Evelyn breathed.
"I don't have a favourite. You?" she asked, blinking slowly and gently
"I'm partial to the big dipper. It's a classic." She turned her face to look up at the sky. "I also just like the really bright ones."
"Yeah" she replied, watching the lights reflecting off of her eyes
