“Oh,” June understood, “My ex and I didn’t use protection.” She explained again, “I’m probably not able to. I stopped worrying about it.”

“Every couple is different. What if it was your ex?” Brittanya stared at June concerned as she sat quietly, “When was your last period?”

“I stopped having periods a year or two ago.”

“You can still get pregnant, it happened to me,” Whitney turned the conversation towards her.

“What?” Brittanya was baffled.

“Yeah, I stopped having periods before I came here, this was back when I was a stripper, and I slept with a client after work. He paid for my abortion.” Whitney became grim. “I can tell you more about that later though, please be safe from here.” She held eye contact with June, “If you need to go to the gynecologist or any doctor, let us know, we can go with you.” Brittanya nodded, confirming.

“Thanks guys,” June stood, “Now Iamworried.”

“Don’t stress about it, stress makes it worse.” She stood and hugged June, “Just be safe next time, and the next time, and the next. Until you’re really committed.”

Whitney stood and hugged both of them. “I love you both.” She smiled, “June will you design my wedding dress?”

“I would be honored.” She freed herself from the huddle. “When is the date?”

“We are thinking maybe spring of next year. We’ll talk about it more when it gets closer.”

“And I get to do your hair.” Brittanya demanded.

“Alright,” June stepped away grabbing her bag, “I should go shower and go to bed.”

“Goodnight” they synchronized together.

Chapter Sixteen

March sixteenth

Juniper

June’s bag hit her station at eight fifty-eight. “Golden?” She wandered into the break room to find him sipping on his first cup of coffee.

“Hm?” He pulled his lips away, “Yes Junie Babe?”

“Is it okay if I fit Wolfgang for his tux today?”

“I don’t care.” He waved his hand with his brow crinkled, “He’s no different than a paying customer.”

June smiled at him, “Thanks Golden.” She pulled out her phone to send him a message.

Juniper ‘Good morning. Golden says you can come in today.”

She headed straight back to her machine to finish her current alteration and her phone buzzed.

Wolfgang ‘How about before or after lunch and I can take you out for lunch today?’

Juniper ‘Sounds good, come before.’

She sat down and grabbed her tickets to make out today's alteration orders. Lately it’s felt like they recruited her just to help with the ball. The more she thought about it, the more she wanted to wear her black sample dress. It was very similar to the one Whitney let her borrow, but more formal, it would be fun to tease him all night long.

Wolfgang

He followed June to the table and thought about the next job after lunch, trying to relieve his thoughts after June took his inseam measurement. She got a little close to the crotch of his pants thinking she did it on purpose. “Thank you for lunch.” June said as they sat down in the same restaurant as the last time he took her to lunch. Her hair was pulled up into a bun and her eyes were more tired than last time he saw her.

“Thank you for joining me for lunch.” He smiled, wondering how he could help her.
