The girls decide to take a self care retreat during the MLK weekend. Where better to do so than at than at Zoeys parents house. They are out skiing for the weekend so it's completely empty, and open for their use.
The girls walk into Zoey's parents house in awe.
"Ladies, welcome to serenity" Zoey smiles as they admire her childhood home.
"More like paradise" Junior smirks as her comes down the stairs in nothing but a robe and boxers. The girl over to him in shocked "M'lady" he gestures to towards Sky, in front of all the girls, kind of embarrassing Sky.
"What are you doing here? And why in the world did you not go skiing with the rest of the family?" Zoey groans to Junior as they all walk into the kitchen
"You Amy not realize it, Zoey, but it is exhausting being our baby brother's primary caregiver" He explains "Sometimes I need a break from skin-to-skin, and so does Devante" Junior finishes
"Whatever. Please just do not bother us this weekend" Zoey mutters to Junior.
"Okay, Zoey! I see you!" Jazz exclaims
"Come through, Johnson's! You know, I'm almost not mad at you for making us miss the Martin Luther King Parade for the first time in our lives" Sky comments
"So, I thought that you said you grew up wealthy, but I mean, are there floors even heated?" Nomi ignorantly comments. Jazz scoffs at her.
"Ladies! Welcome!" Junior greets. "Please, make yourselves at home. There are plenty of beds for everyone. I mean, obviously, you welcome to crash with me,-" he gestures to Sky. "-assuming that you're not allergic to spider silk." He states. All the girls look at Sky.
"Um... can I actually talk to you alone for a second?" Sky asks Junior. Zoey makes a face of discomfort, for them even having to go off and talk to each other. They go off into the other room.
"Junior. Sweet, sweet Junior. How do I say this gently?" She pauses. "You know, me and you, we shared one drunken, sweaty night on the dance floor, and you made it rain on me, but, uh that's pretty much where it ends" She tries to let him down easy. "You know, you're my girl's brother, and I just don't want this to become a 'thing'" She finishes
"Say no more. I can read between the lines" Junior starts
"Okay-" Sky says thinking he's done
"You're afraid I'll hurt you. Plus dating a single parent isn't for everyone" Junior adds, and makes a confused face
"You are not Devante's father!" Zoey states from the kitchen.
"Spider silk" Junior finishes by referencing his bed, if she of course, changes her mind. With the he walks up the stairs .
"I'm disturbed" Sky shakes her head and walks back into the kitchen.
"Okay. Yeah. It's all taken care of" Sky sighs as her tells the girls.
Nomi found Zoey's old diary, and they were having fun listening to the stupid things Zoey wrote in her Diary. Until it got to Zoey's goals, and she realized she hah not accomplished, anything on her list.
"Are you okay?" Nomi asks
"Yeah, I don't know" Zoey responds. "I just feel embarrassed, how did I get so far off track" Zoey states
"Okay Zoey, relax" Ana says "Embarrassment is being dumped on your own balcony by a guy you're not even in a relationship with" Ana says
"I would've jumped. Or pushed his ass" Sky chimed
"Either way, somebody would've wound up on that street" Jazz adds.
"Okay, but I'm working at a bookstore. That has nothing to do with fashion. I totally get starting at the bottom. It's necessary, but this ain't even the right bottom. Like I should be further ahead" Zoey states
"I get it. I thought I'd be some Olympic gold medalist by now, and Sky would at least be bronze" Jazz says to make Zoey feels better.
"Your mama's bronze" Sky snaps
"Guys, we need relax here. We're 19, okay? We have plenty of time to establish our careers and our love lives" Nomi reminds the group
"Well.. you can say that, Nomi, because you're have straight A's-" Zoey starts
"No financial pressures." Sky adds
"No relationship drama" Ana adds
"Oh my god. You guys are acting like I love this charmed life with, like, heated floors and organic apple sauce. Okay, I have things I'm dealing with" Nomi defnends
"Like what?" Jazz replies
"Name one. Just one" Ana asks
"Like I'm dating professor Hewson" Nomi admits.
"What? Huh?" Everyone, but exclaims shocked.
"Who?" Sky adds.
"Is professor Hewson the one who called you a misogynist?" Ana asks
"You calmed me a misogynist" Nomi says to Ana confused
"Hold up, is that how you got an A, in that class while I've been busy busting my ads over this boring feminism propaganda?" Sky asks
"No, I got an A, because I am an A student and we didn't even start dating until after the semester was over-ish" Nomi informs
" Even so, she is still the professor and you're the student. You don't think that's a messed up power dynamic?" Jazz questions
"Is it? They're two consenting adults" Ana defends
"Yeah. With a 20 year age difference!" Jazz fires back
"So what? It works out for Sarah Paulson and whatever old lady she's dating" Ana pushes
"And can you imagine how wrong it would feel, if she was a 40-year-old male professor?" Jazz points out.
" But she's not. And a lot of things would be different if the genders were reversed" Ana says
"Guys, I honestly think it's fine" Ana defends
"Well, how do you feel?" Jazz asks Zoey who has been question during this entire fight. " i'm sure you have something to say"
"I already know how Zoey feels" Nomi chimes in
"Wait, you told her?" Ana gasps
"Not exactly" Zoey responds
" wow! We are the most secret keeping group of bitches. I have ever met" Jazz says impressed "I'm proud of us"
"Okay, fine, you know, what I think that Nomi is an amazing human being and I honestly trust whatever she chooses. And that's professor Hewson" Zoey also defends Nomi
"Thank you, Zoey" Nomi says gratefully. "But I still feel like telling the both of you-" Nomi gestures to the twins. "-was a big mistake you guys are honestly being harsher than Paige even predicted you would be"
" Okay, you know, no judgment Nomi, just pure curiosity. Like, what led you to smashing our gross old lady professor?" Sky asks sassily.
"Okay, you're gross, first of all, and Paige is amazing, okay? And we have a real connection. She's smart and she's interesting and she's given me so much great life advice. I mean, she's the reason why I was honest and finally came out to my parents, Okay?" Nomi explains
"I'm really happy for you" Ana says proud of Nomi.
"Thank you" Nomi responds to Ana.
"I'ma pray for you." Sky snaps
"Yeah, this exactly why Paige told me not to say anything, because people are narrow-minded" Nomi shrugs
"Okay, fine. I'm a pray for Paige's old ass too" Sky responds
"Mhm-hmm. God is good" Jazz backs up Sky.
"I need to smoke" Nomi rolls her eyes and gets up and walks away from the group.
"I need to drink" Jazz adds
"I need spaghetti" Ana adds. With that they all go their separate ways.
With everyone annoyed with each other. Everyone went to their own spot in the house.
Sky walks up to Junior's room door, and knocks on it. Junior opens the door, in his robe and boxers. Sky eyes him up and down.
"I was wondering if there was still room on your spider-silk sheets?" She smirked
"For you? Always" he gestures her to come in. He closes the door behind her.
"What's up? I thought I was just a 'one drunken night on the dance floor'" Junior says imitating Sky.
"Ha Ha" Sky says dryly. "I didn't want this weekend to be awkward, since it's a girls weekend. But now my girls are getting on my nerves, and it's no longer feeling like self-care" She states plopping down on Juniors bed.
"Well I think I could help with that?" Junior states
"Don't think I forgot about our special night" Sky smirks thinking about Junior and his magical tongue, while walking her fingers down Juniors chest, and stopping at the ropes of his robe. She untied it, and remove it, so she could see his bare body in it's entirety.
Feeling the heavy sexual tension, Junior leans in and kisses Sky. Sky immediately kisses back, and pulls Junior closer to her and falling back into the bed.
Both naked under Junior's spider-silk sheets, panting. They both knew the crazy amazing sex they just had.
"So was this your idea of helping me? Because if so, thank you" Sky exhales, and smiles from the ecstasy she is feeling.
"Actually, no. But we could still do it, if you're down" Junior smiles, and Sky nods
"We are just six hours into my self care weekend and it's already a total bust. Per usual, yet another one of my well intentioned goals just dies a painful-" Zoey thoughts get cut off by Jazz screaming coming from upstairs.
"Oh my god" Zoey reacts to the scream. Zoey, Ana, and Nomi run from the living to the upstairs bathroom, where they see Jazz screaming from.
They arrive, to see what Jazz is screaming about.
"Oh my god" Jazz says cringing
"What happened?" Zoey asks before she gets to the bathroom door, and see Sky and Junior in a bubble bath together. They all gasp as they notice Sky's foot in Juniors hand.
"Excuse you! What?! I thought we were practicing self care" Sky says to the girls cringing in the doorway.
Sky ignores them, and looks back at Junior and says "Don't worry about them" she smiles at him
"Okay" Junior responds shrugging them off. With Sky and Junior obviously not caring that they are in the doorway, the girls retreat back to the kitchen leaving Sky and Junior alone.
"So where what we're talking about before we were rudely interrupted?" Sky giggles as he picks up her foot again to massage it. "Oh yes" she moans "We we're discussing where did you learn how to massage a foot so well" Sky says with her eyes rolling back.
"I guess, it's just comes natural to me. Really all you have to know, is where to press" he says slowly. "I call this one the foot spread, after I spread your foot-" He kisses her foot "-I spread your legs" He then kisses up her leg, giving Sky shivers down her spine "-and then pull you closer to me like this" Junior says performing the actions he's telling Sky, seductively. Now that Sky, is sitting in Junior lap in this tub. She asks "Then what?" She then presses her chest against him.
"This" he kisses her shoulder, then up to her neck, then to her ear, he kisses her forehead next, down to her nose. To the corner of her lips. She whimpers waiting for him to just kiss her already.
When he finally does, euphoria spreads of all Sky's body. This was definitely the self-care she needed.
She pulls away from the kiss, and smiles at him. She turns around, and leans back in him. He kisses the name of her neck, and they both relax in the tub together.
"I definitely like your idea, of self-care" Sky smiles
In the kitchen the Ana, Nomi, Jazz, and Zoey are all seated around the countertop, stunned.
"Wow" Ana says shocked
"Wow" Nomi says impressed
"Wow" Jazz says disgusted. Zoey just rolls her eyes, annoyed.
"Not gonna lie, i'm pretty happy that the heat about inappropriate relationships is off me" Nomi inhales sharply.
Sky walks into the kitchen, in a robe. The girls are stare at her, silent.
"What?" She smiles "She's the one who brought self-care at me, and I was just tryna stay on theme" Sky states unapologetically. Jazz, Nomi, and Ana all laugh hard.
"Wha-" Zoey reacts stunned at all the laughter "It is not funny, guys!" Zoey exclaims
"It's kinda funny" Ana spits out through her laughter.
"I do not know what the hell is amusing about all this! I mean, I just watched my little brother and one my best friends in the tub doing God knows what to your feet!" Zoey huffs.
"Oh! I can tell you" Sky chimes in.
"No!" They all exclaim. Sky walks over, and stands by Zoey.
"Ugh. You know what, self care weekend is officially over, so y'all can do whatever you want to do because I have failed" Zoey huffs once again.
" listen, OK, you made a valiant effort, but you can't just carve out a weekend and then suddenly expect everything to be solved" Nomi tells Zoey
"Yeah. Zoey, it's like how you are with your curls. It just doesn't happen over night. It's a process. First you start off by trimming off the dead ends, then you gotta find the right products, then you pineapple it at night, and then you plunk it in the morning. It's about maintenance. Just like self care" Jazz explains to Zoey.
" yeah, you practice a little bit of it every day. And, you know, you can't get curl and life goals in one weekend" Sky adds
"Wow, you're right. Well, you know what? I just wish you would've told me that before I spent my last check on those coloring books" Zoey frowns, and they all laugh.
"I said I wanted spaghetti" Ana chuckled
"Can we have, spaghetti and wine?" Nomi suggests. Then they start laughing and chanting "spaghetti and wine".
They all brought out the junk food, and wine, and were gathered around the couch having a good time. Sky sat in Junior lap, enjoying her time her girls, and her little boo.
