Vanessa

“Okay, Vanessa. You might as well do it,” Michelle said. “But you’ll have to do it regularly. Might even be better to move in and help her out since she won’t be able to wear any clothes for a bit. Give me updates on the progress.”

Vanessa nodded and smiled. “And of course, Alan could help me out as well. I’m sure those strong arms can help reach places I couldn’t,” Vanessa said, putting on a big smile.

Alan looked like he was going to faint as he wiped drool off his face. “Of course, I can provide all the necessary materials for you to do what you need. Also I will need to write your name on the lease, but you can stay free of charge,” Alan said.

“Thank you,” Vanessa said. “Well, I guess we should go ahead and apply today’s ointment. Come on, Lauren, stand up.”

“What?” Lauren said. “Wait… no!”

Vanessa pulled Lauren out of her chair and said. “Come on, Lauren. Don’t be difficult. You need a regular application and you haven’t had it applied today, have you?”

Lauren shook her head whimpering. “B-but we can go to the bathroom…”

“Why bother? We’re all friends and family,” Vanessa said. “Come on, don’t be a pain.”

Julie handed Vanessa the ointment. Lauren’s eyes widened as she looked for an escape, but no one was helping. “Lauren, just get it done with. Honestly, this is your fault anyways. Don’t be difficult,” Michelle said.
