don't you dare grow up on me;

aaron specter, 30, west cloverbrook, founder and ceo of specter inc., owner of spectrum, son, brother & father with no clue what he's doing. just a former little shit from the east side, newly returned to cloverbrook to raise his sister's little girl. basically just a big kid trying to take care of a small one. 20% capable, 80% faking it.

Charles: You want me to be a part of what? A commercial?

Charles: I'll break your phone if you don't.

Aaron: Commercials?! Are you fucking kidding me? I aim for the Oscars and Globes, baby, not whatever prizes commercials get you.

Aaron: That's okay, I'll buy a new one.

Charles: Me? Of acting? Why the hell you ask this? I never really faked anything with you.

Charles: Are you going to delete them as soon as you see them?

Aaron: That's really good to know actually ;) Well, I've been looking through audition tapes all day for a new production, and all the female actors they screened are fucking awful.

Aaron: Will you believe me if I say yes?

Charles: You should have told me, I would have stolen her for the day.

Charles: What? Do you want pictures now?

Aaron: It's okay. Believe it or not, but sometimes it's actually a lot more fun watching the little mermaid with her, than working. Speaking of work though - ever thought of acting?

Aaron: Is that even a question?

Charles: Is this the example you want to set out for Ellie? You disgust me.

Charles: Nothing much, just doing a little shopping, renewing my lingerie stock and other things.

Aaron: Definitely! She's too cute and delicate for real work anyway. What if something happens to her?!

Aaron: That's not fair...

Charles: What's up dollface?

Aaron: Pretending to be working while actually watching the little mermaid with Ellie.

Aaron: You?

Shaun nodded his head, a smile appearing on his features. “It is,” he answered. “One of many. And no, I’m good, honest. I’m sure I can find my way home from here.”

“Yeah, it’s the Mexican one though, right? It’s a good one. My kid loves it there, especially the guac.” He said, nodding in approval. “Alright, well if you’re sure about that, then I guess there’s nothing more I can do. I’ll see you around, okay? Don’t have too much fun.”

A-A lot of people…I don’t like any surprises…I-I’m startled e-easily so…Most surprises a-are the worst.

A lot of people likes bad surprises? You need to meet new people if that’s what you think, ‘cause that sounds very wrong. Ah, so you’re definitely not a surprise-part kind of person, I bet.

sara-andretta:

If Margot hadn’t been living with her, Sara would have asked to her to hers. She had one Hell of a story to tell her friend, that was for sure. “Bossy.” She joked, coming around the other side of the car to get back in. Finding her top was one mission impossible, until she finally did. “Crystal Falls,” She told him, “Big old Italian place on the hill.” 

“You’ve got to be,” he replied with a smirk and half a chuckle. God knows he would have never gotten out of East if he hadn’t been just a little bossy. The fact that he liked to prove people wrong as well, kind of just worked as a bonus. “Crystal Falls it is.” He said, looking over at her for a moment before letting the car roar to life. “So, what’s with the tattoos? Any special meanings behind them?” He asked, wanting to add new ones to his own collection soon enough.

“La Corona on the Shore,” Shaun explained, looking around a little himself. It was amazing how quickly the fun could be sucked out of a night out the way it had been. “Think I might head home,” he added a moment later.

“Is that the food truck?” He asked, trying to make sense of all the new places that had popped up over the years he had been away. “Yeah, maybe that’s a good idea, mate. Do you need me to call you a cab or something?”

[text] sure, but i don’t think you should pay for your comfort food. consider it a late birthday present.

[text] i really don’t. besides i don’t know what was your problem with the sand color walls, they looked nice. maybe you are too picky.

t: just this once, i will let you pay, but only because it works as a birthday gift and we have established how great they are. i’m paying for the beverages though!

t: maybe i am too picky, or maybe i just liked annoying you ;-)

cara-hastings:

Cara took in Aaron’s offer with a pained expression, “Can’t- I mean- Ellie…” She attempted to explain her dilemma, wanting to go back with her friend and get off the streets, but not wanting the man’s daughter to see her like this. She couldn’t be around babies right now, especially ones that were the same gender and age as her own - it would kill her.

Aaron's eyebrows furrowed, a puzzled look on his face when Cara mentioned Ellie. "Ellie's asleep, it's okay. My sister is looking after her..." He tipped his head to the side, examining Cara to try and figure out what was going on with her exactly. "Is everything okay with Lila?" He asked softly, almost wanting to reach out and pull the blonde woman in for a hug, even though he knew they probably didn't know each other well enough for that.

Wh-Why don’t you?

Because half the time they tend to be bad surprises, and who likes that?

“I bet.” Jocelyn said, with a laugh. “Underwear and swimwear look the same if I’m honest. The only difference is swimwear is used for swimming instead of everyday.” She shrugged and ran a hand through her hair. “Which would have been just devastating.” She teased. “We’ll see how long you can wait.”

"Yup, that's true. Although, if I remember it right, underwear can be a lot more lace-y and see through, which is a-okay with me." He chuckled, smiling crookedly. "Just devastating for sure." He said, somewhat sarcastically. "Oh, as you know– I'm a really patient guy..."

“I’ll take your word for that one. No this isn’t a bad town at all. No kids at least not that I know of.” 

"I used to hate it here when I was a kid though, I guess that changed somewhere in the process of growing up - who would have thought? Ah, well, there's plenty of time for that later in life."
