“So…” Mike began, casting his eyes over the selection of lipsticks. “…which one of these shall I wear?”
“Errr….” Charlie thought for a few seconds. “This one.” he said. “I’ve never worn it and sharing lipsticks would be a bit weird, so you can keep hold of it.”
“Errr… you sure?” Mike asked. He got the idea of not sharing something like a lipstick, but he wasn’t sure if Charlie was being over generous.
“Yeah I’ve got loads.” Charles replied. The reason being that his sisters gifted him cosmetics for both his birthday and Christmas, and his mother often buys him one as a little treat. “I’m hardly gonna run out.” he glumly said.
Mike applied the lipstick and rolled his lips together. He’d seen it done numerous times watching old films. He looked at his friend and smiled nervously.
